Weekly Flylady Thread 16th June 2013

I knew I'd have to chase DD back to bed a few times tonight said I'd take them swimming tomorrow if they are nice (and she's stopped screaming). She said "I not do thcreaming mummy, cos you will get sad and it hurts my ears" :rotfl:

Will just put my papers away then I might go up for a potter. Will look through bathroom baskets to see if anything is flingable, and will look through my toiletry stash too. I've just decanted my last bottle of shampoo (buy big ones but use smaller bottle in shower caddy) :T I had so much, I haven't actually bought any (except kids ones) since before DH got poorly so nearly two years... Think I had about 5 of those big bottles of tr3semme!

Question: I am wondering if its time I had a different hairstyle? Seen some pictures from last weekend, and I look horrendous. I'm with my two cousins, both very petite and very into making the best of themselves. I look a frump next to them don't get me wrong, it's not an aging thing, were similar ages, I'm the youngest and close up look quite a few years younger (both been heavy smokers in their time). I just feel, well, dull. All the women on my mums side are 5'2" or less and I'm a chunky 5'8" with dull brown shoulder length hair in no particular style. Have layers because its thick, but doesn't really look styled or polished.

I've lost weight, but still big (16-18, and look huge in those pics) and I just feel on holiday I will look like an enormous dull giant next to all the pretty petite ones crisis of confidence!

Do I get my hair lopped off in an inverted bob and stop trimming my fringe and sweep it to the side?

Help! Lol.

Bossy.. try speaking to a hairdresser about what will suit the shape of your face.. and I am certain you aren't as dull or giantesque as you think you are. xxx But I am totally getting the frumpy feeling.. I am there!

Morning!

Yes, I will pigpen x and tbh I had been growing it so I can tie it up for holidays so maybe I need to practice some nice "up do's" and be thankful I haven't got smokers lines :eek:

On a plus note, my weigh-in this morning was a happy one

Kiddies fed and playing with the train set. DS has asked if we can go to the Santa train soon (local steam railway, he knows its not Santa this time of year ) so it appears that's what we are doing for my birthday it'll be just us as everyone is on holiday, but that's ok I'd rather it was "just another day".

Throat feeling a bit funny when I swallow :cool: so squirting with chl0raseptic before it develops.

Swimming in a couple of hours, and we might pop to shops - apparently I have no snack in the house!!!

Dull and rainy here - typical - I am supposed to be helping at KS2 sports day today! Fingers crossed that it dries up!

My b-i-l is doing a charity motorbike ride today (bike had to cost under £300 and be done up at home) from John o' Groats to Lands End.... it's for cancer research - I think 35 bikes are taking part. Fingers crossed that it all goes well.

Right, paid stuff. Have a good day everyone.
