Moving forward and upwards

Thanks SH and DIA

It's a catch 22 as I'll miss having long hair BUT I'm also not the same person I was last year holding on to having touches of femininity. Instead of dreaming about hairstyles, makeup, clothing etc I can now do it all; providing I take my meds! 
- my new hair cut will hold waves, pin curls etc without the extra weight.

Must dye my hair in a minute.

I'm still clearing the one section at 2nd home, there's so many brambles as they've sent runners and also grew from bits that were cut down before I took the plot on. 

I've ordered some flower and veg seeds.

I'm not aware of any plans this week aside from work, weeding at home / 2nd home and my haircut. I'll slot a pamper in. 

It's refried beans for tea.

That all sounds lovely

Meds seem to have made such a difference to your quality of life. I'm pleased for you

Thank you SH and DIA

The new meds have been a total life changer! 

I've cleared about ¹/2 of the section and should get the rest finished tomorrow. Another plot holder had a clear out and I've now got some very useful things from cloche to frames for netting, broken slabs for stepping stones and water barrels to catch rain water off my greenhouse.

The lads are giving me pallets and a few other bits, should get them next week. I can then start getting a pallet fence up.

My seeds arrived and I've a reusable travel cup thing so I can take my coffee down. 

Hair apt went really well, I've now a wavy bob which sits just below my shoulders; looks great and I feel good. Tipped her as I've not been doing it for the lash apts, although the amount kind of covers all of them. 
- TomBo loves my new haircut, thinks it's very cheap and wants me to get regular cuts; I'd only decided the style / length last night before bed 😄

I'm having bacon and haggis rolls, TomBo is having bacon, square sausage and black pud rolls; brown sauce for both of us. 
- there's normal sausage and tatty scones for me tomorrow as it was a breakfast pack.

I'll get my month end financial round up done the weekend.

Glad you are ok. 😊

Great to get such useful freebies! 

Your hair sounds lovely. Sometimes last minute decisions are the best 😁

Well done on your haircut and investing in yourself. Good Tombo likes it too.

Sounds like the allotment is fab and everyone friendly.

Thanks Skinty and SH

I'm investing a bit in myself each month now as it's all making life a lot easier and I think I've pretty much covered everything for 'me', unless you think I've missed something?

My hair is absolutely fantastic, I did 3 moon buns (twist, bun and pin hair up) Friday night and it had new waves in over the weekend. I'm actually experimenting a lot more with my hair, sometimes I'll pin the sides off my face or just the one side, I'll fluff my hair to make it big or finger comb to tame it 🤭
- I have ordered temporary hair colour and some other hair products, see which I prefer for my styles.

I'll have the section finished and seeded by the end of this week.

I did arrange a guy to quote for clearing the top half but he never arrived and didn't contact me until 9h afterwards; I'll carry on doing it myself as I've got a routine going now. I've also booked more time off to get everything cleared. 
- not having the guy means I can spend that potential money on my plot.

TomBo told me we're visiting MIL this month, doing her garden and saying we're married 😀 I'll take some nice flowers with me.

Good all round totals. Eek to MIL visit. Sure she'll be delighted.

Savings are looking good 😊 I’m sure you will soon have the pamper budget topped up! Hope all goes well with mil visit
