    Saw DS & had a chat with him about things going forward.
    He was very understading & I feel happier now I have crossed that hurdle.
    February will be very tight on the pennies front.
    My hair desperatly needs cut but that may not be possible :(

    Beanie, I had my hair cut last May for my nephew's wedding, and not since :D which may be the reason I end up with fairly long hair :D

    I hope you find a way to get your hair done this month. If it isn't possible find a way to do something else to boost your appearance. A face pack and eyebrows done?
    If you have built castles in the air, your work should not be lost; that is where they should be. Now put the foundations under them

    Emergency fund 800/1000
    Buffer fund 0/100

    Have you thought of having your hair cut at a training college this month? Or trainee at hairdressers or Groupon type deal?

    Looking unlikely.
    I shall only be able to buy limited food this month so should be great for the weight loss.
    Every cloud & that :)

    Sorry to hear Feb is going to be so tight. Make sure you get enough food to eat. You probably don't want to, but there are very helpful people who can refer you to foodbanks if necessary. I refer families a lot, things have got tough for a lot of my families of late. Sorry to interfer just hope all is ok and you have enough food :).
