Through a friend I was given a link to an amazing space http://frugal-life.spaces.live.com/default.aspx. Worryingly, I worked out that since October I had saved £560 on hairdressing bills alone, but the only reason I have saved that money is I changed onto a different job and I need to be in the office. This along with other things I've read today means I am now on a mission. I know I can have treats when I want them which puts me in a very lucky place compared to some people. BUT I am not going to have those treats!I can be very wasteful, over indulgent (look at my waist) and too generous. My children don't understand the word 'No' and that's my fault. I am going change my ways. I need to do a grocery shop, and I'm starting with that, my normal weekly shop is around £150. Also, I have a cleaner who comes 3 times a week, I don't need this luxury! Actually in the summer I do need her last year I worked 5ish to 7ish. This year I know I won't be doing those hours. What am I frightened of? Having dirty windows!!! I'm sure I could manage. Its quite distressing when I think how much money I waste and how hard I have to work to make it in the first place
