    Anyone want my 5yr old? He likes to pluck Mummy's "invisible" (white) hairs :rotfl:

    HA! When I first noticed a few greys several years ago, I ask OH to quickly pluck them out for me - 10 mins later he was STILL plucking and I was devastated :rotfl:

    I have thick very dark curly hair that has never had hair dye on it (the frizz!) so I'm guessing I can afford to lose a fair few hairs if only to thin it out, never mind get rid of the grey.

    Love it. I am not young enough anymore to be young and funky. I am an older Mum lol. Don't look my age though. Yes I'm female even though avatar is male and username is male.

    I think young and act young lol. I will grow old disgracefully. :rotfl:
    What's this ?? Grow old - never :rotfl:

    .... but refuse to pay full price for anything anymore.

    Most things are discounted at some time and my plan is to stock up on the things I use regularly when they are on offer which , A) helps me not to run out of anything and B) should in theory help me to save a few more pennies.

    Before anyone yells at me about Lidl/Aldi.......yes we do most of our shopping there but there are some things that I need to go to the dreaded big boys for.
    That's basically the same here - though it's worth looking in the £shops, Home Bags and F Fare, if you have them, as they often do the brand names at discounted prices (though you have to watch the sizings). Good luck with your budgeting :D

    Those of you that use SBs there is a sale starting tomorrow with the gift cards at 750 instead of 849. They are also reducing paypal from 999 to 900. Not sure when the sale ends but its the cheapest I have known since I started in 2011.
    Thanks for the heads-up on that Rosie

    Just totted up my total for the whole of 2015's challenge. Absolutely gobsmacked that it came to £3798.27:j:j:j

    It's all down to you, Aesop, for running the thread , all the time you spend helping us and your endless hints and tips on making a bit extra:A. Thank you.

    A massive amount of thanks too to all the members of this brilliant thread for all the help, encouragement and fun during the year:A

    Here's to another happy and successful year for us all:beer:
    I noticed yesterday that your totals added up to over the £10 a day for the whole year, but didn't want to spoil your surprise ;)


    What a brilliant achievement of extra earnings but you deserve it with all the things you try :money:
