    So a bit of a plan for this week.

    Dye my hair tonight so it is coloured before it is exposed to chlorine rather than the other way round.:eek::eek::eek: Is it an old wives tale or should that emoticon's hair be green.

    Swimming and NSD tomorrow.
    Packing boxes and clearing out boot tonight. Loading car tomorrow ready to get stuff OUT OF ROOM and into storage.
    ....................and calm is restored.:cool:

    My boss has just realised he's going on holiday and he hasn't chosen colours or finishes for the kitchen's and bathrooms on a local scheme. He's left it to me :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek: (One of my colleagues will have something about choosing a green kitchen on his tombstone I'm sure! No green!!!!)

    I'm sure it will be :D but it feels :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:


    Off to London in 7 days to see lots of friends I haven't seen for AGES :j:j:j:j:j

    I think the chlorine turns the dye green during (and a little bit after) swimming, rather than remains of chlorine turning the dye green - IYSWIM.

    Chlorine is rather reactive, and the chances of it hanging around waiting for you to dye your hair are rather slim...

    Black...it's slimming...especially good for kitchens...

    Don't think I'll be taking kitchen advice from you Mr Z. Choices will be nice but not what I'd have in my kitchen either .......have to play it a little bit safe.

    Seeing friends from USA, Germany, Belgium, Hong Kong, Italy, France in approximately 6 days :j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j:j

    Another NSD bagged today :T. Swim tonight and a bottle of beer in the fridge so temptation already taken care of (will be needing some sort of substitute for watching 'The Great British Bake Off').

    Am about £110 under the second O/D limit I set myself (am not going to hit the first!!!) That will require careful managing before the next pay day a week on Friday......BUT

    I think I have paid for all my travel and hotel costs for next week (that will explain the O/D pressure)so will just require a bit of care on the food front IN LONDON

    I mean how hard can that be!!!:cool:
