My hair is so much better now it's been cut. I am going to take dd2 in tomorrow and she what she thinks of her having her hair cut for the first time.
We've got two appointments on saturday to view venues for the wedding and I'm excited!
Pizza dough rising for dinner. 5 things listed on ebay this afternoon. Why can't everyday be as constructive as today?0 -
Glad the hair is better now, I always find I feel much better after a nice cut.
How exciting about the wedding venues, makes it all seem real!0 -
Been and got DD2's hair cut this morning, she was so good. I had visions of her screaming but she sat so still. Doesn't look like they did anything, but it'll thicken her hair up and it's all one length now rather than looking scruffy. I have also saved some for her little first hair box we have.0

We looked at two venues today. The first one the manager was quite pushy but the venue was fine. The second one was a definite NO. It smelled of dogs and was tired looking.
So we're thinking maybe the first one but will have another scout round on the internet later, and then work out all the costs again.
My mouth is so sore at the mo, really need that referral letter to come through.0 -
Will send you some positive vibes for a speedy referral YB - sorry to hear you're still in pain.
Another one here trying to be organised with the food - I still have hopes for being able to turn freezer 2 off when we go on hols but not sure whether I will or not. Last week let me down as I forgot to meal plan and MrEH was poorly at the start of the week. Didn't succumb to takeaway temptation though!I did decline to go to the farmers market today though, and we won't go next month so that'll force a few more meals from the freezer!

It's been a few days but have been waiting on some news to relay to you all.
We've booked the wedding :j:j 5th March 2011. I'm so excited. Now have to work double hard to make save as much as we can to pay for it.
Last night I sold some Jewellery :j:j:j
Yesterday my absess / gum boil whatever it was that was taking over my mouth decided to leak blood (sorry if tmi) and the pressure has relieved greatly so my mouth feels so much better now and it's only a small lump on my gum now :j:j so am rinsing with salt and mouth wash alternatively to prevent further infection until I get them taken out and sorted.
