    Mine hasn't been cut since December 2017 :( it's crap, I end up just tying it up, I really need to book myself in, I find going to the hair dressers stressful though xx

    Kindofagilr would it be less stressful having someone come to you? I have my hairdresser come to me, mainly because it means I don't need to get the kids looked after, they can just play and amuse themselves.

    Late on here today as I've been to church and me and Mum got talking to somebody afterwards. Might do it more often actually. When I got home DS was hoovering and hubby had walked the dogs . :T

    JJ - that was really nice of Circle to give you £2 for the trouble. It doesn't take much to make things right does it. xx

    K - can't say visiting the hairdressers is something I enjoy. I'm in and out in a flash. Wash, cut and gone. I dry it at home because I can't be faffed with them doing it in there. I wish I could enjoy pampering sessions but they really hold no appeal. I had a manicure once and was so bored sat there making polite conversation. :rotfl:

    WB - just read about your dash to hospital in the middle of the night. :( Hope DD is OK and you're all home soon. I PM'd you but hoping you're all home and tucked up catching up on some sleep. xx

    HG - good idea about having a hairdresser come to you especially with children. There's a hairdresser where I go that does home visits but she really only goes to old/ill people otherwise I'd book her myself. xx

    Back in a while to with a few figures. Not that anything much has changed but determined to keep on track. Hope you're all enjoying your Sunday. xx

    Day 10/28, 9 NSD's, Prolific £13.02 cleared, £3.35 pending, Cash £23.75 for 8th-15th Feb

    I think the only thing to report today is a little more money has cleared in Prolifc and it's been another NSD. Apart from that it's been a pretty quiet day. xx

    You're so right - they didn't need to do anything really as I wasn't massively put out. I had withdrawn to my bank account on a Wednesday when I normally do it to my card - for some reason it takes a little longer to a bank account according to their T&Cs but after it still had shown by the Monday I send them an email. If I'd checked my Circle account I would have seen the money sitting there and all would have been fine. Anyway nice to know that they sort things out promptly if things don't go as expected.

    And well done on all your NSDs. Are you enjoying feeling more in control of your pennies?

    JJ - I'm feeling much more in control of my money and I'm also doing much more with it than I used to :) The biggest game changer has been paying for household things from the joint account although lately there's not been much spending taking place at all.

    Cumbria - the NSD's are mounting up quickly which is good. I feel like I want to buy something though but I don't need or want anything at the moment. I half envy people who are saving up for something specific. It's nice to have something to aim for.

    NMC - yes, really good to know I've got the OK on the guarantor thing. I just need to make sure the others are able to go ahead with the house before I sign anything. It's been a very quiet Sunday. In fact all my days are quiet lately. I'm on a countdown to the caravan site opening again then that's my weekends sorted for the next 8 months. :D
  • Won't be long and the season will soon be here Tea!

    I'm going to miss going to our friends. They sold up at the end of last season and have moved to Germany.

    We are already on countdown to October!
