    Hi All,

    Night off last night so that I could sort my flat out a bit. I will unfortunately have to spend some money as my hair dyeing last night didnt exactly go to plan LOL

    Ohhhhhhhhh who am I kidding, my hair has gone ginger!!!!
    So off to wilkinson in a minute before too many people are out and about to buy some more stuff....

    That should be about it for me! Be back soon to clear up the flat and mooch on the net for my day!!!

    or Sports Soccer?

    It gave me a real sense of satisfaction and control to allocate my money to the right 'pot' so I'm back on board and ready to rock n roll!!

    Luv Jxx

    Glad to hear it Jet...

    I've just been out to Boots and spent £4 on hair dye........... it is unnecessary, however I couldnt exactly go out of the house with orange hair....

    Ah well!

    Today I've got no further plans to leave the house. I might spend an hour or soo researching houses to rent for a share.... and then I really do need to tidy up, do laundry, put the bins out and even more of the dreaded washing up!!!!

    99p today on a book from a charity shop - plus 2 pairs of shorts for oh who ripped his at the weekend! I'm hoping he'll give me that money back - but at the moment there's only a handful of change left in my purse :(

    hello!

    I am being as unnessesary as I can with the spends. I really need pay day though! As I have had a crap time lately I am going to lunch with some friends tomorrow. I don't drink alcohol so will only have a coke or 2.

    Thanks for all the kind replies from the other day, it means alot
