    Don't think it's been mentioned yet but Ts have got £5 off a £40 spend on again. Same as last time though, you have to spend £40 to get the voucher. I much preferred when it was a £20 spend to get the voucher!

    Thank you to everyone whose advice has helped me in my desperate quest to make ends meet. x

    EDIT-Back on the quest, I've been away too long!

    Phew... nap time in progress so boys asleep and I've managed to have a rest whilst catching up :D

    Gorgeous day here so we've been in the garden most of the morning. The bonus is that the house is not the usual tip and I can't see the mess in the garden from the sofa :p

    One of my friends had her baby this morning :j She was only having a cuppa with us in the garden yesterday afternoon so did really well considering it was her first :T Emerald, you were spot on, so I become very popular when friends get pregnant ;) Hopefully some of my tips yesterday helped the eviction process along :D

    Excitingly the top of my head is also rather fluffy now :D Can't stop rubbing it :)

    If there is anyone who is passing a Costa Coffee today and doesnt mind picking me up one or two loyalty cards so I can register I would be eternally grateful.

    Trying to have at least 3 no spend days this week as so much to get on with and if I venture into town I know I will get distracted.

    TIA

    May the odds be ever in your favour;)

    I use cloth nappies for my little boy but my sister uses disposable nappies on her little one. She is struggling with the cost, I have tried to convert her to cloth but she is a little reticent. Whilst she is pondering I wonder if anyone could point me in the direction of cheap disposable nappies for her please? She uses size 4 if that helps?
    Thank you x

    Isn't it lovely to have your own hair again logie? It feels so nice! What I really appreciated though was getting my eyelashes back. I really missed those, but after a few comic failures with false lashes :eek:, I got used to it. Strangely enough nobody ever noticed my lack of eyelashes if I used eye-liner, so I soon just got used to using more eye make-up. The eyebrows I learnt to draw in as they fizzled out, and I still use a pencil now to accentuate them. I also have a fab collection of hats, which I don't wear now my curly hair has returned. Too MUCH hair! They were great when my hair was still really short though.
    All the best to you & yours. :)

    I use the sada little angels which are 2 packs for £10 which is awesome!

    Aldi's nappies are good too and there is a baby event on at the moment.

    Also there is a money back on pampers simply dry that she could go for :-

    Hello all by the way :wave:
    :D Coupons = the only money we can legally print for ourselves:D

    :j A coupon for a free item that is price glitched in Mr T's to be cheaper than Sada for an apg = HEAVEN :j

    :money: total = £47.48 cc = 413 selling stuff = £23.00 Floor pennies = £5.79

    Feels very odd having hair at the moment :) Still more of a fluff for now and can't really tell what colour it is going to be. Heard lots of tales of people's hair coming back completely different so am excited to find out.
    Eyelashes are now about half a centimetre long. Difficult to get mascara on but I am determined :p
    I too have an array of hats, mostly winter ones though. Did buy a fishermans style hat yesterday as I burnt my head again on our day out on Saturday :o and am not overly keen on wearing my headscarf. Looks a bit weird but great for in the garden :D

    Congratulations to your friend Logie, what did she have boy/girl.

    Good news about your hair growing back, my friends grew back curly and was dead straight before, and dark brown and was blonde. She happy.
