Ruby Slipper,

My natural hair coulor is a dull brown colour (and a a few grey hairs, im only 26!!!!!!)so I usally dye it dark brown too.

My hair dresser said I had to wait for at least 3 months after the last dye before going blonde slowly. So whilie I was decideing what to do I didn't dye it and it has now been 4 months so my transformation begins. I am having light brown and caramel colours in first, then in 6-8 weeks a dark blonde and maybe some light blonde..... im so excited.

Hi All,

I made a major decision over the weekend................ I am going blonde, I have decided I need to make some change's and you all have inspired me to go blonde lol. I took a picture of Jennifer Aniston to my hair dresser as I want to look a light brown/golden blonde colour. My hair dresser has done me a good deal as she suggested I go blonde ages ago: £44.50 for highlights, cut and blow dry. Wish me luck.

Another VERY HOOOOTTTTT man to add to the list: Matthew Mcconaughey. He is sexy as hell and that southern american drawl.......... http://thewholegardenwillbow.files.wordpress.com/2008/05/matthew_mcconaughey_200907.jpg

Here is a very scrummy Muffin recipie I have made quite a few times, they always come out yummy. http://www.muffinrecipes.co.uk/page24.html. (Smartie muffins are yummy).

Went out with some friends on Friday night, it was a very strange night. One of my friends has just got back from her 6 month round the world trip. We have all been friends for over 10 years but feels like we are all growing apart a bit!!!!!! Its a horrible feeling.

Blondie: I think you did the right thing by taking the 2nd interview, good luck.

Rose Red: I think you are one very amazing friend, im sure you are making your sick friend so much stronger knowing that she has you in her life.

Hi Tasha! The times on the posts seem wrong to me too! Re your blonde transformation - that price sounds like a total bargain!

Happy..ahem Monday everyone!

Blondie - so sorry to hear about your nan that's dreadful! The poor love! I hope she's not too upset/shocked by the whole thing.
I would have totally done that on the interviews too so well done for taking control like that! Reeeeeeally hope the second interview goes well! How are things with Sparky at the moment...or have I missed a few posts along the line? Hope you're holding up - don't worry about crying a bit last night, I do it ALL the time.

Am currently going through it a bit as I'm being harrassed by mad ex-boyfriend. I finished with him at the beginning of March and he attempted suicide twice as a result (drama) then finally seemed to accept why I'd finished it etc but since has been emailing me multiple times a day with some very odd stuff. Am just gearing up to send a final 'please don't ever email me again' message but don't think it's going to work! Am glad for this forum as a little escape route actually...!

Tasha - I'm jealous! Have been OBSESSING about going blonde lately! What colour are you now? I've been dying my hair very very very dark brown (OK black) for a couple of years so I don't think it's possible. Boo!

Rosered - good luck with the fibroid shenanigans. I had to have a load of scans etc recently as they thought I might have those (I don't).

Swinstie - I need fitflops in my life like a fat kid needs cake. Am about to Google!!

Enjoy the rest of the day ladies! xx

Hi Ruby! Sorry to hear about mad XBF. Why not change your email address and phone number? No big hassle - also - maybe not a good idea to email him for any reason, as the contact may just give him encouragement

Oooh the excitement! My last dye-job was about 6 weeks ago so I'll hang fire for now (even though my dull-brown roots are driving me mad). Would love to emerge as a caramel/honey type gal after being almost goth-like for the last couple of years. You'll have to keep us posted on THE GREAT BLONDE-OVER then! Good luck! xx

Thank you rosered! Well I changed my mobile after about a week - my dad had enough of the sort of texts I was getting so bought me a really cheap little Tesco (!) mobile which I've been using ever since. I have blocked him on Facebook and could change my email address although I'd rather not have to. I have tried ignoring him but unfortunately that just seems to make him angry - according to his best friend he is convinced everything is my fault and he's blameless (he's SO not). Anyway, I'm hoping if I can say once and for all please leave me alone it'll get through. Gah!! :mad:

Am currently entertaining thoughts of ditching big scary London and it's associated madness and legging it off to a country idyll to work in a remote pub under an assumed name...

Ooooo I've looking for some fitflops, trying to get rid of my gigantic hips with minimum effort:rolleyes: Cheapest I've seen them is about £35!! Bit expensive for flipflops as I don't have nice feet so try and cover them up in summer:o Ooo but if they do them trainers.......hmmmm shops here I come:D

Mines were £45, bronze Walkstar III which is quite dear, the normal ones are about £35 but I wanted a versatile colour so bronze it was. Hoping they are all I'll wear on holiday, cos I usually have about 5 pairs of sandals per week!

Enough of the recipes Tasha, my mouth is watering and I can see a trip to the supermarket for ingredients coming on. I've a recipe for healthy brownies, thought it was because there were mushed kidney beans in them (low G.I.) and you wouldn't eat them, but they are surprisingly tasty!
