Thankyou all for your birthday wishes
I had my hair done this morning and am now the blondest I've ever been in my life I am naturally very dark brown, and have gradually been getting a bit lighter over the last few years, but normally when I go to have highlights they put some blonde in with some mid-brown colours too, but this time she just went for the blonde 
I really like it and it is exactly the colour I wanted, but it takes a while to get used to it, and at the moment looks a bit odd with the lobster face from yesterday :rotfl::rotfl:
I've had a relaxing day, mum made me lunch and we're going back to hers later for a chinese takeaway tonight. I've had some lovely pressies and lots of money too :T I'm going to put £100 into the mortgage pot and spend the rest on me when I go to London this week!Mortgage Total: £50,550/ £75,000
