    Thrifty ole' Me

    I am real cheap to maintian.....
    Shampoo?.... well I took a 50ml bottle away camping for two weeks, didn't use it all.
    Anne cuts my hair (yes it needs cutting at times, pillow hair and all shit) so theres a saving..
    I use wet wipes, not toilet paper, three wet wipes per visit, now thats saving!
    I do not wax at all...extra hair comes in handy during winter....
    Tanning??....thats what the sun is for, its FREE!....
    Single cell cancer removal per year? $21

    Trust me on this, not every girl wants to...

    Me, I am easy care kinda gal.

    I buy good quality shampoo/conditioner, with the occasional salon product when I want to spoil myself.

    Get my hair cut every 6 months or so, probably not for a year after the last hacker let loose on it to be fair

    Too chicken shit for wax near my bits, a good quality razor does the same job IME.

    Face stuff is not important now. Trudes it is true, once them wrinkles start there is no stopping them, a good cheap moisturiser works just as well as the expensive ones. I do my own nails.

    I used to have a bit of a shoe thing, but trained myself out of it, now replace when worn, though I do buy "good" shoes, they tend to last a bit better than the cheapies.

    Clothes, I buy as needed, work clothes are easy, corporate type when required, smart casul otherwise, down right scruffy at times

    Does maintenance include what you spend on booze Mom?

    Ok girls - a word of advice for maintenance. I am hate the dentist an only go when my teeth start to hurt. Anyhoo, dentist visit yesterday cost me $2500 and was told if I had come 6 months earlier it would have been a $120 filling!!!! Please please please make sure dental is part of your maintenance to avoid a bill like I've just had.....not to mention I look like a chipmunk at the moment and it is sore!!!!!

    Ha! I have never had a filling in my life. Unfortunately I need braces and a couple of teeth removed. That's just cosmetic though. If my teeth get too bad then I shall permenantly live in a helmet with an extra tint visor. Or I could just never smile or talk.....

    Right that is IT! I WAS planning on going to the Dentist, I have a really sore wisdom tooth that has been kicking me for two months now. BUT $2500 for a Dentist visit ?

    My plan of attack now is copious amounts of bourbon -
    18 Pack 330ML @ $34.50 (it also has healing properties)

    a pair of pliers - PLIER FLIP FULLER PRO (Flip the handle to switch between a longnose and linesman plier) is that like flip top head? @ $32.93

    and a Nodrog! Free
    No body move... I dropped my brain

    Yup ... but for some of us getting the tooth out is $170 ... and sometimes it is the best thing to go ... root canels are a major issue ... and then after six odd months you need to spend more on getting it capped.
    Life is a gift that we have all been given. Live life to the full and ensure that you have absolutely no
    regrets.

    Low maintenance.

    Shower a couple of times a week, shave, wipe my butt and throw on the odd dose of underarm or cologne for a special ocassion. Haircuts done for nothing by my good lady wife and I don't give a crap about staying up with fashion trends.
    $2,000 cash if you find a buyer for my house, kumeuhouseforsale@straightshooters.co.nz for details
