Zoe. Build a Budget that Works. Gail’s Guide to Building a Budget. Gail’s Guide to Building a Budget Okay Toadies, it’s time to get with the program. Over and over again people tell me they don’t know how to make a budget. It doesn’t matter how many articles they read, how many worksheets they download off the net, how many times they try they just can’t do it. Once I started doing the show Til Debt Do Us Part and introduced the magic jars, people headed out to buy their own. But they still couldn’t figure out how much money to put in the bloody things. So I’ve created a step-by-step plan for all those who wish it to follow. Okay, here we go. On the budget worksheet, fill in all the amounts under income. That’s your budget. Two more things: You’ll see that the budget automatically calculated how much must go into each of your jars each week/month if you plan to live on cash. It’s your money.

Hair. Saturday night, on a complete whim, I decided to bleach and dye my hair. My bathroom cupboard is packed full of hair dye in just about every color I could ever want so I just waited to see how light my hair bleached to before deciding what I wanted to dye it. Oddly enough the purple and pink bleached right out. Normally they're two colors I have problems getting out of my hair but I was literally watching it disappear before my eyes as I applied the bleach. I still had some residual blue left. I'm opposed to going back to blue for a little while though. I still want to play around with new colors and combinations before settling down with a color again.

This is Punky Colour Turquoise mixed with equal parts Punky Colour Bright Yellow and conditioner on the top layers of hair with Punky Colour Apple Green underneath. I'm just glad I decided to do this way after St. Hope you have a lovely Tuesday! You can find all my tips on bleaching, dying and maintaining colorful hair here.

Smoking things One of my colleagues moved to Hamburg, Germany this past weekend. He gave me his smoker before leaving, and I used it for the first time this past weekend. I enjoyed it a lot more than I expected. I started preparing Wednesday evening – got an 8 lb pork shoulder and applied a rub to it. On Saturday I started warming it up around 7am and had the meat going by 9am, where it cooked for 8 hours. Afterwards the meat rested for an hour, and then we made delicious pulled pork sandwiches out of it. Smoking is awesome for the following reasons: The anticipation is amazing. Things didn’t work out perfectly.

Permalink Building my own computer My earliest memories of playing around with computer hardware were in high school, when my mom agreed to buy 8MB of RAM so that we could upgrade from the 4MB that our computer came with.
