I hate getting it cut - can trim the sides / tidy it up myself but can't quite do the back so I do get it done every 6ish months

Mrs Mort caused a panic in a local barber shop last week. Her fringe had been annoying her for a while but she couldn't be bothered to book her mobile hairdresser. She walked into the barbers and asked them to trim her fringe. The two blokes literally ran a mile but the lady in there did it no problem, and it was half the normal price.

sorry i'm just getting back to you rising, the tablets i am using are skin, hair and nails by boots, just boots own make i think i was £15 or so for 6 months supply

they had some at £30 a month but i chose to try the cheaper method first, that and stopping the tablets seem to be working

:DI'm back!

House seems really quiet after being with 2 dogs for the past day ..... had lots of Maisie cuddles & she's still def a "mommy's girl";) *sigh* - hoping I'll be able to bring her home at Christmas :j ... keep everything crossed!

DF very kindly gave me a donation towards the TD for Christmas :T so the Emergency Fund's not quite wiped out - just hope nothing else breaks down for a while!!

Brilliant, thanks El will have a look ... happy to go with the cheap option first!

Hi Mort:) Mrs Mort is very brave I love the idea .... but :eek: at the thought - sure it'd be fine tho.

Actually need to have a think about where I'm going to get it cut - it used to cost me £40-£45 to have it cut & coloured (small local salon) but the last time it was £40 just for the cut which I feel is getting just a bit expensive ... not sure if she's putting up her prices as people are going less often or because I've been going a while

So ... managed to get a couple of pressies @ SM this morning so at least that's something crossed off the list. Not getting a lot this year and really only 1 to get now!:T

Bit annoyed they're having to come out my Grocery Budget - I will have the "Others Pot" (incl Presents) up and running by this time next year!

Hi Rising, glad to see you had a good time with Maisie

Re the hair cut/trim /colour..have you got a college near you that does it?
I went to my local college when i lived in my previous town, and they did cuts from £4, Cut and colours from £12 and full on cut,colour,blow-dry, pamper/head massage for £15.
Never had ANY problems with them at all, all properly supervised etc

Ohhhh I wish .... nearest big town with colleges is 30 miles away so not really feasible due to fuel costs

I will have a hunt around tho' as if I could combine it with a trip when I was going anyway ..... might phone my old hairdresser (town where DM lives) and see if she can fit me in over Christmas - I only stopped going to her due to the fuel costs of getting from here but will be down at DMs anyway ....

Really need to get my eyes tested too :eek: and pretty certain I need new glasses as now having to take these ones off to read!:o
