    Another NSD here.

    I did have a friend come round to do my hair, but dh paid for that as part of my Christmas present (she's fully booked up next month). Not before time too, I was starting to look like the Dulux dog.

    I really hope Rog gets his chinese takeaway!

    I've managed to find a bottle of Merlot, that I'd forgotten I had - so I fully intend to be totally 'non compos mentis' in about an hour or so. :beer:
    I'll let you all know how it goes tomorrow.

  • Total spends today -

    £13.50 spent in boots - needed new Max factor Foundation

    Thats about all for today...

    Did receive email from one of my Amazon buyers to say dvd was faulty so i need to refund her - cheeky moo as dvd was fine when sent. I've had buyers before who watch the dvd then say its faulty and want a refund. Its a flaming cheek but they can get away with it. :mad:

  • ok didnt quite make it a NSD today.

    Went food shopping today and came to £86 when I had orginally budgeted £35.00. Saying that OH owes me £20.00 for beers and did spend £6.00 on a xmas present. There is also enough food to cover 10days as well, not just 7.

    On some good news I have talked to a friend about doing some babysitting to earn some more cash to pay off debts, and got a call tonight from friends friend. She has asked me to a couple of hours next sat and the week after. at £5 an hour dont think this is bad.

    Hoping tomorrow will be NSD, as staying in tidying, ironing and sorting things to sell on ebay.

    :j
