    Can't advise on the hair colour BUT what brand is it? Is it one that covers grey? Some say they cover a percentage -I haven't got much grey so use a semi permanent but it lasts longer than that...and I use the whole bottle. The one I use has separate bottles which click together just before use - their chemical make up means no, they cannot be stored safely. So I make sure I use it all.

    Well Flyladies - this morning I had - taa daa-*drum roll*

    AN EMPTY LAUNDRY BASKET - everything had been washed.

    Since football it's filling up a bit though - but I brought in today's washing and it has all been ironed

    I'm posting this here as I'm sure some of you may have some advice you can give me:

    I have been using the same permanent hair colour on my hair now for a few years and am finding that the grey side strands and grey bits by the roots are showing after about 3 weeks. What can I do to make the colour last longer? Also I find myself throwing away a lot of the dye after I have done my hair. It says you can't keep it? Is this really true? Do you have any tips on how to make the whole process cheaper as £4-5 every 3 -4 weeks is getting really expensive

    Dont know how to help you there mine comes through after a week !!! Be interested to see the answer x

    did you see that you can borrow one of those 'owl' energy monitors from Derbyshire libraries - where abouts are you (pm if you prefer)

    Mainly for soappie :D for those who don't know the wonderful soappie came to the rescue last Christmas, my sons really wanted a Lego City police station, but nowhere had one around here, soappie went to a lot of effort finding us one then posting it special delivery which made their Christmas :D thank you again, this is the first picture of it all built, we did one and the vehicles they decided to play with it like that for a while then finished the whole thing last night. That is of course DS2 playing with it too.
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

  • Hi gang!

    Had a long session in the garden after lunch and now I ache - :D But have made a good start and a mini change around - one bit of trellis down and on freecycle, and a couple more to go.

    Best crack on - HHC on kitchen & cloakrooms as company expected later. We ate lunchtime so not too bad. Uniforms, lunches and banking next.

    See you later

    Moam
    Although no one can go back and make a brand new start, anyone can start from now and make a brand new ending.... life is a WIP.

    great photo lil-me.
    Well DH has been and long :rolleyes: and apparently he had an accident at work on Friday and his finger swelled up and he had to have his wedding ring off. I can't bring myself to take mine off.

    I have to try and deal with the fact the he wants us to get along for the children (understandably) but I would like us to be friends and if I am honest that probably won't work.

    On thew plus side I did manage to get ALL my ironing done when he was round (only had 7 bits and all of those were the children's but at least the are done now.)
