    Blonde bits are history:D Haven't been this close to my natural colour in nearly 20 years:rolleyes:
    Hubbles picked me up a second box but don't think I need it. Might go and exchange it for one a shade darker or an auburn one...

    Most likely thing is when they deliver it to the post office the PO will call you and say there are charges to pay...at least thats whats happened before to me! Then you go down and pay and they release the parcel.

    Thats unless the sender has listed the amount as less than liable for the custom charge, which some will do of course...

    Why, is there going to be a final decision tomorrow? :eek:

    It's easy to give in to that negative voice that chants "cant do it" BUT we lift each other up.
    We dont count all the runners ahead of us & feel intimidated.
    Instead we look back proudly at our journey, our personal struggle & determination & remember that there are those that never even attempt to reach the starting line.

    I recently ordered DH and DS some slippers. Again, couldnt find any they liked here, so they're coming from US and postage is taking that over £38. I think I'll wait to see what happens with that before I order again :o

    You may be lucky Spud and miss them. Half the time its pot luck but they are more alert around christmas. I have only had to pay once and it was only about £4. But then again they were only manufactured over there so there was nowhere else to buy them at all :o

    Not always becky. Sometimes royal mail will send a purple card with your normal post. The worse is DHL and UPS... They will deliver your parcel and then send a letter to you up to three weeks later for the cost. You then cant dispute it or refuse the parcel :mad: Sneeky!

  • Well that was the usual church council meeting.
    • Everybody sits there quietly in case they upset the vicar by saying something he disagrees with.
    • Something is eventually mentioned. Vicar throws a tantrum worthy of a two year old.
    • We pray.
    • We all go home and rant/cry hit the bottle.
