Myself and my neighbour have just worked out that from our Argos shop which will be picked up in a bit, we have spent - Between the 2 of us £381.00. Have just sat over lunch and worked it out. We have SAVED £590:eek: :T
All the things I've reserved isn't just for Christmas I've got some things for birthdays but I'm still delighted with that!

Hi All,

Happy Good Friday!

Made Hubby an Easter choc block this morning. Not the neatest but I was rushing whilst he was out at work.


Also made some choc nut cornflake nests for Sunday when in laws come for lunch.

Mrs money penny, I've ordered a santa to put away for xmas. Only had one in my local store which I've reserved. May see if the one in ton where I work have any left on Tuesday

I have just put stripper on Dd's hair. She is naturally blonde but has been dark red for nearly a year.

I so hope she doesn't go ginger. I have told her it's all about the rinsing stage. We will know by 9 :eek:

Omo I am on tenterhooks! I used two last year, initially the results were fab, but I woke up two shades darker :O they claim that only happens if you don't rinse enough, but I rinsed in the shower for 45 minutes

Well Omo has spurred me on to de-clutter. My hallway is now filled with items that need to make their way down to the communal bins. I have no idea how we've managed to get rid of so much (probably enough to fill a small bathroom) and still everywhere seems cluttered I've been so ruthless, that I really can't get rid of any more. My work room is slowly being transitioned back into a bedroom ready for being put on the market. It's a very slow process due to lack of money.

Hi,

SPENDLESS, I was in HB today and im looking for hamper basket type things .gutted as I don't live near a HB but hopefully i will get to one in a couple of weeks .

Was really excited to get to a HB today and have now decided to do hampers for my in laws today. I managed to pick up 2 packs of pocket tissues in a floral pattern on the front for 12p each, a notebook 49p and pleased with my can of spritzer (posh something on the tin) 49p as i was looking at a small wine for a pound.


Looking forward to going back there, next time im taking a trolley!!

Her hair turned out better than last time, but I wouldn't say it was blonde. She has a blonde dye, that she is going to use in the week, once the colour has settled down. At least her roots aren't as prominent as they were.

I would take a pic but she is asleep. I may try and get one of her tomorrow.

My next big project here is my bedroom. As you know I am in the loft. I have a floor space but no height. Today I bought 3 clothes rails that adjust in height. I know 3 is a lot, but I don't want to over load them as I'm not sure how strong they are. The one I wanted, that was strong was too high.

So my big job is to go through all my clothes and get rid of at least 25% of them.
I can't do this until later next week as I am not getting the hangers until Tuesday. I am going to get the same ones I ds from Ikea. It just makes everything look tidier.

I bought 2 cheap shower curtains, to make scarf holders from the rings. I also have a proper one from Ikea, that I got in a charity shop.
