I am free, no studying for a while, so Ihave just chilled in bed and watched the last episode of spooks on iplayer. Got to get up and ready for work now.

Oh and the mystic violet doesn't take too well on dark hair, I just have a red scalp!

    Morning Sammy, we were worried that something bad had happened with the hair when you didnt return last night:rotfl: Shame that it hasnt made much difference to your colour though.

    Its my last evening class tonight until 12th January 2009:j so I can chill now on a night time without having to rush back out at 6pm twice a week.

    See you all later and I might have a lurk while at work too;) ...........................so dont call me bad things:D
    But these things take time, I know that I'm, the most inept that ever stepped.

    Morning. Yule log has to be one of my favourite Xmas sweets. Want some now :p

    Have you seen your hair in natural daylight yet Sammy - you might get a surprise. When I used to do mine dark auburn I was always disappointed until I saw it in daylight...

    Got an easy day today but won't be online after 9 - tax technical update training until lunchtime then midwife/physio this afternoon and food shopping for weekend's festivities followed by cooking some of it in advance. Might get to sit down around 12 hours from now...

    Have a good one everyone.

    P.S. Bunny your hair looks fab. Tempted to get rid of my blonde bits after seeing how good you look!

    2nd time of trying to post this morning, laptop died just as I was about to post..:mad:

    Anyway shame the hair didn't work sammy, was really looking forward to seeing your amazing colour hair!
    Lou, bet you can't wait for today to be over and the Christmas holidays to begin!
    Luc, I don't know how you do it, so busy and so pregnant, im exhausted just reading your plans today!
    Penguin hope you get the heating sorted today.

    Its so cold and Ive not seen frost like we have today for a long time, its thick and looks like snow! Hope the council have been out and salted the pavements, I nearly went !!!! over tit yesterday it was like an ice rink.

    Going for a run once DD at school, then lunch, take her to ballet and relax! (relax means, ironing, cooking and wrapping christmas presents)

    Have a good one everyone and save some yule log for me for later
    I'll make a wish, take a chance, make a change And breakaway. I'll take a risk, take a chance, make a change and breakaway ....

    I only appear busy cos I only tell you when I have loads to do;) :rotfl:

    Actually December has been particularly full so far but I prefer it that way. My friend Miss G was round for her tea last night so we had a lovely girly gossip over a plate of veggie pasta then indulged in apple pie & custard when Hubbles got home form work around 9

  • Morning lovely friends!
    It took me 45 mins to get to work today-and it's less than 10 miles! It was sooooo slippery-are they not gritting anymore? It was like Bambi on ice.

    I am liking my hair actually, it's nice and shiny-although DS said he didn't like it, lol.

    Work for me today and mardy boss not in-so that's nice!

  • Morning all - <Maz helps herself to chocolate log>

    Don't mind if i do!!!

    work as usual for me today... zzzzz!

    You're so lucky going off to Centre Parcs before Xmas bunster! i'm very jealous...

    Sammy - i did wonder how the colour would take on your hair as it's already very dark... as Luc says you might see it better outside...

    Bun - i love that colour on you, but you look like a mardy mare in your avvy! anyone would think you didn't like it! - and is it just me, but you look like you are nekkid in the picture too, not that that is a bad thing....

    I'm just a seething mass of contradictions....

  • I can't believe how late I am to work today, that's what you get when you leave washing/drying/straightening hair until the morning :eek:

    Worried about DS though, he has such a terrible cough, at what point do you cave in and see a GP? Because it has been going on for over a month now. It started to get better about 2 weeks ago and there were a few nights where it didn't wake him... and then it's slowly got worse again, and he needs calpol/nurofen 4-hourly at night just to be comfortable :(

    Morning DD. Sorry DS is so poorly. I've got no experience obviously but i think after 4 weeks I would phone the docs or even the NHS phoneline and see what they think:confused:. If it were me coughing after 4 weeks I would do the same...
