    Been a good girl this morning, and because not bought any new clothes YET with the money i put aside, i have just reduced my Littlewoods debt by £30 - off to update sig as it appears on my balance instantly.

    I might just cancel a pending item on there too, that will really bring my total down.

    Awww thanks girls xx

    Well today the cider turned up, my OH will be happy. I've never heard of Brothers cider before, but my bro said he's drank it at festivals this year and it was really nice, so hopefully OH will like it. He normally drinks Magners cider.

    Tomorrow im getting my hair done, i'm still can't believe i'll be paying £90 tomorrow to get my hair done. I only get it done every six months or so so its not that bad really. Its just a lot to pay out in one go for a cut and colour.

    As i'm yet to buy myself any new clothes i'm trying to decide whether to chuck another £30 at my Littlewoods debt, hmmmm. Be great if i could because my debt will then be £2,290.04 - love it!!!!

    Now a SAHM trying to earn some spare pennies each month
  • Me too Lilmiss - i can't dye my own hair because its blonde with a bit of dark.

    Just withdraw £5.81 from a betting site i forgot about, so thats another £5.81 in my bank for doing nothing.

    Well, i have spent £100 today. I had my hair cut and coloured this morning costing me £78.50, thats including a £5 tip to the lovely girl. Then i popped into Boots on the way home and spent £22.50 on bits and bobs. I got LOADS for the money because i had lots of no5 vouchers and skincare vouchers.

    I did spot a bargain in the hair salon though, this month i am getting some of the new GHD's, and they are selling them for £125, but if you bring your old pair of straightners in or an old pair of hair tongs, they will give you £20 off. I believe its an offer GHD are doing. You can even bring in broken straightners. So i'm going to take in my pair which are very old and broken and get £20 off. So i wll get the pure straightners for £105, bargain :j

    My OH is working lates today so i'm going to have a pamper night and pamper myself with all the goodies i bought from boots today. Face masks, pedicure set, 6 different no7 nail vanishes. Also, i am going to watch a film which has arrived from my online rental.

    Sounds like you've had a fab day!

    I saw that about getting £20 off in GHD's in my local Regis hairdressers too! I would of said but i thought it was just in my local hairdressers:rolleyes: When you gonna get them?:j

    Pamering night sounds brill, have you used up all your vouchers now? My boots stash is huge!!! My wardrobe drawers are bowing as there full of boots products!:rotfl:

    Hiya Maria :hello:

    I'm going back next week to get my straightners, i can't wait. She used them today on my hair, and they were great. Def persuaded me to get a pair.

    I too have lots of stuff from boots, but half of it i don't think i will use. I have LOTS of Time Delay skincare stuff, and i think the only thing i will use is the face wips. I also have lots of spa covent garden stuff, which i prob won't use. I do however have lots of No7 stuff, from make up to facial treatments which i LOVE!!! I have 2 pinkies left and 2 skincare vouchers, i just found them in my shopping bags. I'm thinking another boots session on Monday before the vouchers expire :rolleyes: I hope they have some good offers in the new boots mag which is probably out soon.

    Not managed my pamper evening yet as been watching my dvd rental, the film was great. I'm thinking of buying it i enjoyed it that much.

    God what a rotten evening, i'm glad i'm not out in this horrible rain. its coming down really hard. Just had to run around the garden trying to get my cat to come in, she loves the rain, but she's always ill, so i don't like her being outside when its raining. She's now safely on my bed sleeping, bless her.
