  • Blimey what an inspirational thread, you guys really are hardcore! :A

    I'll look out for the new thread starting in Jan and have a bash at it, though with our first little bundle arriving (hopefully on schedule) at end of Feb I don't know how much time I'll have..........

    Well done everyone who took part in (or have not quite finished yet) this challenge, you should all be very proud of yourselves - it makes a great read too!

    Merry xmas all :beer:

    Have a look online, they are pink ghd's limited edition for Breast cancer. I think the online places have sold out now which is why they are selling so well on Ebay. Not sure how well they would sell after Christmas. Still time to get some and put on Ebay before Christmas though.

    GHD's are ceramic hair straingtening irons.....fabulous things if I may say so.....the do curls and flicky bits very well too. GHD is the make - they're arguably the best ones on the market....and the most expensive.

    If you can find any, they'll be in little hairdressers or bigger shops that sell haircare accessories.
