    :easter_ba:easter_os HAPPY EASTER :EasterBun:easter:
    :mad: Yes i still furious!

    :mad: I have washed my hair again .... no difference!

    :( I am now trying to think of a way to turn this into a positive, even tho i was blonde i am naturally brown, went blonde as there was too much grey! So do i go and buy another colour and just change to a proper shade of brown?

    BAH!!!! Enough of the hair!

    :mad: Forgot to say i didn't recieve my HB on thursday :eek: its supposed to be paid on a Monday but its usually paid on a friday ...hopefully it will be paid on tuesday :(

    :cool: Saturday postperson brought yet another council tax bill, thats 3 so far all for roughly the same amount, there are pence between them *confused* I wonder how much it costs KMC to print and post them, yet again wasting money :mad:

    Looking forward to BBQ this afternoon, although the golden orb seems to be resting today :( Carrot sticks are done, onions are cooking and chicken drumsticks are de-frosting (will marinade half with HM sticky sauce:drool:)

    Anyone got some positive vibes going free please lease please can i have some :p

    Morning Spike! :hello:

    Sorry to hear about your hair disaster. I dyed mine red, and it came out really bright. I had short curls at the time, so I looked a bit like Ronald Mcdonald gone wrong! :rotfl:

    Sorry to hear you're having troubles. Part of life.

    We're having a whole chicken cooked in my slow cooker today. I haven't got anything else to report, but we're all happy enough. Its a lovely summery day, and I'm feeeling very fortunate to have the people around me I do.

    Have a lovely day
