    Less cleaning is much better floppydisc, good idea :D

    It's been a miserable week, I've felt so exhausted for no reason really, can't sleep etc. So I've decided from today onwards will be a good week.

    Tomorrow I've got my parents and aunt over for a curry night which usually ends up with all the ladies in the family singing loudly to Beatles songs, it's the 50th anniversary of sergeant pepper so that's already been on today.

    I'm meeting best friend for a coffee in town soon and have fitted in one of my nice 50s dresses that I bought last year, small things cheer you up I guess :) later I shall take ds2 to the he cinema possibly for a couple of films.

    Ha ha don't let that stop you shs :rotfl::rotfl:

    I seem to be plunging into a mini midlife crisis, I have booked to have my hair done tomorrow, I have shoulder length black hair, which all going well will tomorrow be blonde :eek: I have not been blonde for years, it's also expensive and really long process and is so expensive I can't mention how much! My hair is naturally brown but it dyeing it has made it gradually get darker and darker, I'll try blonde again and if that doesn't suit will go back to brown but a chestnut rather than black, I am quite nervous, it's expected to take about five hours and for me the hairdressers is not much of a step up from the dentist.

    WW weigh in tonight, no change either way from last week, it could have been much worse after the week I have had, I just didn't track anything and didn't feel like even trying really, must do better next week. I have lost 7. & 1/2 lb since joining and have 22 lb to go until target, total weight loss since 2015 is 21lb so almost half way be it extremely slowly to start with :o

  • Hair sounds dramatic. Hope you make it to blonde and don't get stuck at orange.

    Well done with the weight loss, NG. :T Even if you haven't lost anything this week, at least you haven't gained anything either. :)
