    Argh!! Going to have to wet my hair again, meant to be trialling a hair mousse for Ts and have let it dry naturally. Meant to be rubbed into towel dried hair.

    Back later. With my hair done and nowhere to go. :(

    Evening all

    Sun came out around 3pm which was a nice change and 3 hours got all washingdry.
    No luck with the travelodge/red spotted tickets here though and email from bzz to say hair dye trial cancelled which I am secretly pleased about as dididn't fancy using a different dye. Plus side they are sending a £2 voucher to use on anythingfrom jf range. So glitch please:j

    Getting in the 5:2 mood. Just bought lots of peach fizzy water from s and some fruit teas. Thought might be better to stock up bit by bit so feels like using things I would normally use not special stuff I have had to go out and buy. Also retreived porridge oats from back of store cupboard, think I need to try with honey.
    I am all right all day, its the hour or so before I go to sleep when everything goes wrong so decided need strawberries and low fat muller yogurt and might just survive. As the book says I can tell myself I can have everything I crave when I wake up.

    FC I voted when I saw your post this morning. Great idea.

    Have many dad'isms

    There's been a right kerfuffle over these vouchers and machines. There was quite a few complaints on their FB page

    A fellow poster has a very sick child who spends most of each day hooked up to a machine.

    He is trying to get enough votes to win some funding. If you have a minute to read about it and hopefully vote, the link is here:

    RIGHT!!!

    I got bored with the forms and decided to enter the 2nd annual Dadisms comp instead :D to win £200. You have to tell them your favourite quoute from your Dad :A My entry is here and I would be ever so grateful if you could all vote for me. IF I win I will donate the money to the charity that Silvercar posted about last night, because I broke my heart reading about it

    C'mon Friends :D
