    Thanks everyone xx I know her hai will grow back but she had beautiful lng blond hair down her back.....everyone commented on how lovely it was. I am trying to put a positive spin on things by thinking she will be 9 at the end of the year and could do with an older hairstyle?!?!?!?

    Pigpen I spoke to the hairdresser and explained and she is going to do her last thing so she can clean all the equipment after, Thanks xx


    :D.. Glad they are ok with doing it.

    DD2 had hers layered and thinned and it looks so much better.. it is about midway between her shoulder blades and waist and she at almos 14 had bugs ast week too!

    Congratulations Fritteredaway :beer::beer::beer: Well done!
    I'm debating whether to try a little gentle yoga, or will it make my knee worse? Hmmm....:cool:

    Right.. window decision made.. we are having it done ASAP.. what I can't save in the next 5-6 weeks is going on the credit card and I'm paying off as fast as is possible.. so on top of my £500+ Ikea purchasing, new beds, carpet, decorating and plastering.. oh.. and school uniform.. I have windows to find money for.. I think that is pretty much me sorted until the baby arrives with lack of cash lol.

    I need to get something for OH's birthday and DD2's tomorrow and reshuffle my next 2 months budget to squeeze out another £1000 from somewhere.... ebay it may be!

    Off to do ebay pics!!! :eek:

    *Sigh* You're probably right.... I'm just so unutterably BOOOOOOORED!

    I've managed to give the loo and wash basin a clean, but I chickened out of doing the bath; I need to get Mr LW to help me wash my hair tonight, so perhaps he'll be kind enough to do the bath afterwards.

    In any case, even if you were rolling in money, she has absolutely no right to help herself from your purse. Big (((HUG))) for you.
