    Hi OP,

    This has really impressed me - go you! What a fantastic thing to do; I know many people twice your age who wouldn't be able to manage that alone. Congratulations and best wishes for the future!

    Well done you! What a great accomplishment!

    Don't worry about the grey hairs. Personally, I find "salt & pepper" hair very distinguished. Think Clooney and Gere ;)

    Well done!

    My DH had his first grey hair at 14 and I still fancied him when I met him when we was almost grey at nearly 30. We women look beyond grey hair :-)

    My dh has gone salt and pepper and I love it, so much better than his previously mousey hair, he looks very handsome, embrace it!
    Congrats on the london trip, I find going to ikea on my own is a challenge!
    Some wise person said do something everyday that scares you, for me thats looking in the mirror first thing!
    I don't get nearly enough credit for not being a violent psychopath.
  • Woo! Good work you :) well done.

    As for the grey hair, I had them at 19 and I'm female :) If you're determined to cover them, any hair dye will do!
