 I still felt a bit yucky yesterday but it's gone now thankfully 😀Cherryfudge said:It does sound like either a bug or something you ate. I hope you're back to feeling okay tomorrow and the long day goes well.
 Enjoy the haircut when it comes!Original Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8941

 Thanks Nicnak,I'm feeling much better today 😀my hair is salt and pepper so the grey mingles in quite nicely,I used to dye it but stopped a few years ago because I was fed up with doing it, it had also started to look really fake,I love my grey hair nowNicnak said:My hair is the 10th May. I have one streak of grey that is really starting to get bigger and show through loads now. Hopefully having your hair done makes you feel a lot better.
 Does sound like a bug. Glad it has gone xOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942

            Work went well yesterday and the day went by quite quickly because we were full up so busy. I now have three days off which I'm really happy about 🎉🎉🎉
 I am having a day at home today even though my first instinct was to rush out to the shops 🙄 I think it's going to be a bit manic in town this week. It's also raining today so no one will be at the beach they will be shopping instead. I'm going through town tomorrow on the way to get my hair cut so will see how bad it is then.
 In the excitement of the shops opening I forgot that would mean charity shops as well so I'm going to see which ones are excepting donations as I have some bits to get rid of, I can't wait to get decluttering again. I don't have much in the actual living area of my house but I do have things in the loft that could be donated along with some books I've read and don't want to keep
 So far today I have done some washing which will have to be dried indoors because it keeps raining 😫and I've taken B for a walk through the fields where we managed to miss the showers just in timeOriginal Debt Owed Jan 18 = £17,630 Paid To Date = £6,736 Owed = £10,8942

            Enjoy your days off and glad you are feeling better. I have a hair appointment this Thursday for a cut and highlights but I had to have a patch test over the weekend as apparently hair colourant can trigger an allergic reaction if you have had Covid so they are testing everyone first.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Debt free Wannabe, Budgeting and Banking and Savings and Investment boards.

 Thanks ES 😊I'm currently sitting here stuffing my face with the last hot cross bun so definitely enjoying myself. I had heard that people were having to have patch tests done but didn't know why 🙄enthusiasticsaver said:Enjoy your days off and glad you are feeling better.

            Pleased to hear you are feeling better now and enjoying a hot cross bun 👍
 Enjoy the haircut. I’ve just had mine done.....mine is short and was looking a real mess. I quite like my silver streaks too. My hairdresser is mobile and lives facing me - so a quick in and out of here. Feels much better 😀January spends - £587.582

            How is the hair?
 I had to have a patch test last week for mine on the 10th May. I have really bad allergies anyway so we are always extra cautious but I did wonder why she was driving round pretty much doing everyone that had a colour booked in. Now I know!
 I went to my local yesterday and had a drink with my sister. It was really busy as the weather was nice. It was table service only which meant that nobody was moving around much. One way toilet system was in place as well. We only had one as a bit of something different and left as some people were clearly making a deal of it (bottles of champagne being bought!). I wasn't that happy.
