    OMG I just gave myself a haircut :eek: - v moneysaving but v brave considering i have short hair so no amount of hair bobbles could have saved me if it went wrong! Thankfully though i was v good and just had a little trim, head feels much lighter and hair doesnt really look any different (which is an achievement i guess)

    O yeah and i cleaned the lounge :D Had to do the hoovering twice as i couldnt resist cutting ds's hair when he fell asleep on the sofa :rolleyes: (im a mean mummy!) Just have to hope he falls asleep on the other side tomorrow :rotfl:
