When our dd has a child I am not sure what she'll do, as we live too far away for me to babysitm so she will have to pay a lot also as they both need to work.<br /><br />I get my hair cut every 6 to 8 weeks as it's short and I want it to stay that way. Dh has to get his cut once a month. However come Summer I may attempt to start shaving his head again to try and save some money. It costs us around $18 CDN every time we get our hair cut. I dye my own hair, so that saves a lot of money.<br /><br />GillGill - That British Womanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17456247587052149765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-43626294771776990282012-12-22T14:15:17.304-08:002012-12-22T14:15:17.304-08:00That's the dilemma - you want the best possibl...That's the dilemma - you want the best possible care for your kids, because it's such a critical job. But, on the reverse side, it's a FORTUNE. So happy that the kids are moivng beyond the stage where childcare is more than half of my paycheck! :-)<br /><br />I used to have a miscellaneous category, but could never figure out what I was spending it on, so I'm trying to break it out a little further, to shed some light on our spending! We'll see if it works.Hawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2445523662180116681.post-65468506461901031392012-12-22T13:27:15.147-08:002012-12-22T13:27:15.147-08:00Oh wow.. childcare is crazy expensive.

Glad you'll be saving a bit there!! :) <br /><br />As for personal stuff.. it gets worked into our "misc" category of $50/week.... but that's for everything else. It goes fast sometimes.. lol!! ~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.com
