also if you hae a local asda go in see if they have the herbal essence offer (2 for £2.50 and make sure one of them is a bottle with the 'free hair cut offer' proof of purchase necessary. that way you get two for less than the normal price of one plus a hair cut thrown into the bargin. Make sure you keep the reciept.

Is this free haircut available nationwide Penny? It's very rural here and there are no major hairdressing chains within 25 miles:eek:

Ok i have just added a link to the first thread and i cant believe i have been going since the 19th feb!!!

I have decided to set myself some goals for the next 4 months and give some things to work towards

Today i am going to treat myself to a chunky belt (either charity shop or on a sale rack from somewhere.

Cut my self in a fringe (i can do these but need to borrow some scissors first)

Get all my old clothes out of the attic and cupboards, if they fit they stay if not its a carboot or ebay, even the special ones i cling on to because it was expensive or when i am a size 6 again i can wear them again....its never going to happen, everything must go......

Take the kids swimming once a month to make up for being such a crappy stingy mum.

Start my own savings pot for my long suffering ben and jerries addiction.

Great plan of action, please keep going, we all support you.:A

its definately an itch, you're doing so well! :T Just watch that DFD creep closer and closer, it helps a bit. You're new plan sounds just the ticket (sorry if I sound a bit patronising, I don't mean to!)

Do you get the free cinemaq tickets from www.seefilmfirst.com ? This is how I treat my kids to the cinema etc Ive just got 4 tkts for us all to see the new transformers film on Monday - for nothing!!! I have also been saving the free sports vouchers on the back of some cereal boxes for swimming, tennis, footy etc The cereals might be slightly more expensive, but factor in the free swimming sessions etc and they work out much much cheaper. Freebies is the way forward to treat yourself to lifes nicities. I got sent a hair care pack from Marie Clair/Pantene the other day 5 full size haircare products from a brand new range that they wanted me to test and give feedback on. Ive also had 2 lovely lip glosses lately, numerous magazine - 1 with a free LK Bennett bag for the summer. We bagsy enough freebies to keep the whole family happy.
