    boo to the interest!

    Hope the check up goes well Shortie!

    Ok girls - (I think we've lost all the guys again haven't we?!) - I need to dye my hair. Not sure what colour to go for. I'm naturally quite dark blonde, but it's been dark brown for a while now. Shall I stick with brown or go back to blonde for the summer? Decisions decisions! There, ahem, may be a man on the horizon... :o

    oooh blonde for the summer - definetely. I'm lucky mine bleaches every summer, but goes darker again over the winter. So I don't need to dye my hair for a change it does it all by itself.

    Back on topic - I've just over a £1 left this evening. I've only spent money on lunches at work. I'm allergic to citrus fruit and learned the hard way this week that Mr Tesco puts lemon juice into chocolate profiteroles, so I've been feeling rubbish all week. Not had the energy to make my packed lunches. :-(

    Good Morning All!

    Hope we're all keeping it low this week, threads been a bit quiet.....

    OK so one more day at work for me and then a day off! PHEW! Plenty to do today as well, as I'll be off till tuesnday (technically) and then it's straight into a stock count, so lots of prep to do today....

    P.S Does anyone know how you can cancel your FriendsReunited membership. Its says you can change it to one-off payment on your account page but all mine says is renew, and then enter your card details!

    Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, I dont want to end up paying for it again. It says theyre gonna try to take the money from the same card I tried to pay with last time, cheeky !!!!!!s........ can they just do that?!

    No idea about friends reunited C, try sending them an email to ask. How are you feeling today? Has the dreaded flu arrive?

    Well, I'm going to confess in advance. I'm going to be spending money with capital M this weekend! I've got a big date :eek: I'm totally terrified, first time in years I've been out with someone "new" that I actually like (I've done it with a few I didn't, don't ask me why!) so I'll be doing some female panic buying of clothes. Thanks to my two fairy godmothers/advisers I've settled on a top I already have, thanks guys :kiss: But there will be fancy jeans bought today, and possibly some funky shoes. Plus money for the night itself...

    BUT here's the good news. I've counted my money in my piggy bank where I put all my loose change and there's £150 in there! So it's all going to come out of that :D

    Apart from all of that, I have no plans to spend :o:o

    Ok pepys at on CAFCgirls order (very nicely!) am here & it seems like a good one for me to get back on the wagon! Is there a place that says what is essential what isnt etc? Ie I have an allotment & sometimes have to get things like compost but woud that be a non essentil or is it just things like mags, coffee's out etc? Am going to update sig now and will do my £10 from Sunday to Sunday! My cunning plan is that I wont have to spend much for ages. I'm on lighterlife so no danger of eating out (can only eat foodpacks!) and while its expensive at £66 a week you only have that to buy that and no food, snacks allowed!! The there's just petrol, cat food & cat litter so am hoping go stick to this & stop wasting money on mags etc (one of my downfalls!)....will take some time to try & read through all posts but loads of pages to get through so bear with me!
