  • @LadyWithAPlan I have just had to stock up on my shampoo and conditioner, which isn’t cheap, but is on a 3 for 2 offer right now and will last me a year. It’s from the Cornish seaweed bath co and is so good. It has stopped me shedding like a moulting dog 🤭 Some things are worth the price I think. 
    This looks great ! Not heard of it - may try. I use K18 which is amazing and also Intelligent nutrients leave in conditioner - both just ran out .. my sister loves Champo and a friend raves about Olaplex - which I may try instead of k18 this time but..always good to have a new recommednation
    DON'T BUY STUFF (from Frugalwoods)
    No seriously, just don’t buy things. 99% of our success with our savings rate is attributed to the fact that we don’t buy things... You can and should take advantage of discounts.... But at the end of the day, the only way to truly save money is to not buy stuff.    Money doesn’t walk out of your wallet on its own accord.

  • Happy Valentine’s Day everyone.
    Not much to report here. Work has been busy, I remembered pancake day so we had a nice pile of homemade pancakes with lemon and sugar yesterday. Today we had a romantic tea of fish and chips in front of the tv from the van that comes to the village. They were very good. 
    I hope you have all had a good week so far ⭐️

  • Now I totally want to paint my nails sparkly blue too. Sadly though, healthcare job, so it would have to be removed before anyone even saw it.

    Can you wear gloves to get around that? I didn’t used to bother with my nails, but find it quite a lift now ✨

    😂😂 The dog putting the anchors down reminds me of my old dog…..there was no chance of getting him anywhere near water. 😱 I remember having to resort to a paddling pool in the garden with my neighbour watching and laughing saying Blue Peter don’t do it that way. 😂😂
