    £1.87 in the pot this evening. Visit to the hairdressers today, so a bit of a costly outting, but needed it!!! However, did kinda redeem the situation by going to cafe rouge after with a £10 Tesco voucher.....dinner cost £2.

    Hair cuts are so expensive! I haven't had a hair cut since last August, but my hair is in such bad condition now that I don't think I can put it off for another month. I do wish I had a hairdresser in the family sometimes, as I can't afford haircuts as regularly as I'd like them anymore :(

    Well done with the potting and the Cafe Rouge voucher :)

    Hello, although I've not been popping in here, I've been popping money in my pot regularly! All my VAT refunds go in there, plus anything I 'earn' with coupons, vouchers or selling stuff (old kids clothes usually). My DH thinks I'm a bit daft but I don't think he'll be moaning when I open the pot later this year
    Trying to keep in budget.

    Morning,

    Having a day at home to get my Open Uni assignment completed! The up side is that I wont be out spending any money today so have treated the pot to £2.50 today.

    Hope you all have a good day.

    Hi Everyone

    Sparky Hope those neighbours are behaving themselves do you want me to visit with my umbrella :rotfl::rotfl:

    Well DH is still feeling guilty No idea why! Cos I haven't even mentioned the word drink !!! Anyway he gave me £10 this morning to treat myself with . Perhaps the no nagging is the way to go :rotfl::rotfl:

    Looks miserable outside so think I will stay in until I have to pick up all the children then perhaps we can go to the play center.

    Be back later!!
