    We have the money saved to be in the noughts now, but until x3 life sh!te things get sorted that's staying where it is for now. Not beyond the realms of possibility all three things could be sorted this week, so we shall see...

    Mr ATB went to the pub last night for 'a couple' and rolled in at 12 :rotfl: he's still in bed and is very definitely on kiddie get-up duty tomorrow!

    Kids watching Matilda, I need more tea then will get breakfast ready. Low spend day - driving to see family in Manchester so need some fuel but already have wine and flowers to take for DH aunty.

  • Ah yes, Mr BTC will also be on child duty tomorrow morning as he also had a few drinks last night with me being the delegated driver :D


    Well done on getting your Christmas gifts wrapped - that is some serious organisation. Have a lovely weekend x
  • Good luck on the home colouring! It's really not too bad if you go for one shade all over, I used to henna mine regularly. Just did it on a day I was planning to housework as it had to cook for 4 hours. Sure you will be fine.

    Well done on the teens, that's wonderful news!
  • Congrats on reaching the teens! :)
  • Hair home coloured with DH help and I'm delighted :j I have long, very light blonde hair but have opted for the 'trendy' bright white look (sound awful, it's actually lovely). Had it done at a salon and it was lush but at £80 a pop it's a lot. This colour cost £4 and it's ace :j

    NSD today :T, we are about the watch The Polar Express. Had a long walk with the dog, so chilling time now.

    Positive vibes needed please for life carp to be sorted this week xx

  • Morning all,

    One piece of niggly stuff (DH non payer) has paid up, hurrah! V strong email about other issue sent yesterday afternoon so fingers crossed for a resolution today.

    Spent some cash yesterday - DH going on a stag do in June and we had to pay another £50 towards that. We are also going away on Friday for the night to a concert so had to book train tickets (hotel already pre-paid). Taking my grandma shopping this morning, need to pick up some gin as a birthday present but that should be it.

    Have lovely MFW days all x
