Breaking Through, Travelling On

Just caught up! Sorry to hear about your friend.I love the coloured list, and the idea of doing 15 mins on each per day. I am getting a bit lost juggling everything, and I might just borrow this idea to get things moving again. Thanks!

Thanks earthgirl I have to confess though, that I meant 15 minutes in *total*, not each - my energy limitations are pretty severe even though its better than it was.

Actually, I'm feeling very trepidatious this morning as I've made an appointment to have my hair cut at 10:eek:. This is such a big event for me as I've always had it long and am going for a really short cut this time. Well, definitely maybe! The coloured bit has grown a lot (I persisted with my plan of going naturally grey)and there's almost enough grey showing now to look reasonable if it's short. It's a really nice grey too, I'm very pleasantly surprised. Maybe a full Judi Dench would get rid of all the dyed bits but I'm just not brave enough:o. There's still time to wimp out of going and having anything done though. Decisions, decisions:eek:

CBC, I hope you find one of those pens :j:j:j the colours certainly seem to spark joy :T:T:T

My haircut is happening at 11am, just after yours! I quite like this one: https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/b9/7e/03/b97e036619891ff49efcb4261d490c8b.jpg which is Jodie Foster just a few years ago. I'll do a hair dye test tonight, and all being well I'll dye my hair on Monday :eek: that won't be regular, just for the wedding.

:T Well said Cheery!:T

;);)

I'm another one for coloured organizing!

:T:T:T Definitely The Best :A Even whizzing down the page can give you an idea of the balance of what you've been doing

Today: haircut, I'll try to do the banking while I'm there, maybe even buy some frozen veg, then tidying at home, and the hair dye test later on. Right now, I have to wash my hair - it's not dirty, but no way am I going to the hairdresser unless my hair is absolutely ***cleeen***

:j Happy haircut day! :j

I'm overdue to touch up my roots! (at home or course :money:)

The process is never as bad as I make it out in my head - but it's one that gets procrastinated to no end - usually until the point with the boss & I are comparing how grey we are getting! (she's just as bad for putting off the dreaded chore!)

rtandon, I really empathise with the dreaded root touch-up problem. I could procrastinate for England on that score and as my hair seems to grow abnormally quickly I seemed to be ready to do it every 3 weeks:eek:. Also, I'm only 5ft 2 even when I stretch to my maximum and just about everyone else in the world is much taller:(. I was paranoid that they could all look down at my grey roots. I don't know why it bothered me so much as I'm totally un-vain otherwise.

Anyway, the haircutting has been done and I'm so relieved now that I took the plunge:j. All the colour has gone although I maybe went shorter than I initially intended in order to achieve it. Strangely, although it's grey/silver now I'm sure I look younger than I did when it was longer and light brown:rotfl:. It's a nice youthful cut but knowing how fast it grows I'm expecting more expense than I can afford in having regular trims to keep it looking good. When It was long and all one length I used to trim it myself:o

KC, I love the style you linked to:T. I hope you are as happy with it when it's finished as I am with mine:beer:

Oh, sadly Wilko didn't have any of those pens and I didn't have enough time to try anywhere else (dratted parking limits and traffic wardens:mad:).

That pen makes me happy what a great find, RT!

CBC, I'm glad you like your cut - I like mine too, absolutely (though I'll like it more when I've dyed it It doesn't look quite as good as Jodie's, mostly because I wimped out at getting it that "short" - I've been cutting my own too, and I let it get ridiculously long. And I'm aware that short = maintenance costs. I'll just have to become a multi-book writer :cool:

Haircut was halfprice, £24, and I gave the stylist a tip based on the full price, seems only fair, he spent 1.5 hours with me :eek: which completely exhausted me but has been a result. I still managed to collect the makeup I ordered from JL last weekend, sitting in the local shop that serves as the distribution point :T and I've had a go - I still want to achieve a line of eyeliner gel :rotfl::cool: :rotfl: but I don't have the right sort of brush, I forgot about that

Water's heating up for a shower, I need to relaxez, then tomorrow its collecting the rail ticket, and hopefully buying some frozen veg (and a makeup pencil? Sainsbo sell those, don't they? ). That'll be me for the day.

Glad everyone's pleased with their hair cuts - it's a nice boost to have a style you're pleased with

I've had short hair for many years now, and go every six weeks for a trim. I also have my hair coloured, but underneath I'm getting quite grey now. I'm tempted to let the colour grow out so I can see just how grey I am now. It might be a bit of a shock!

To offset my hairdressing costs, I cut Mr Goldie's hair - but I'm not letting him loose on mine!:eek:

earthgirl

I need to do something with my hair. I cut it myself and its long and blonde but boring. I'll see what I can come up with diy on youtube!

I let my colour grow out over the winter so I could get away with wearing a woolly/fake fur hat whenever I went out as my hair was the colour of a tortoiseshell cat for a lot of that time:eek:.

It was only the onset of warmer weather that made me do something about getting the colour cut off:rotfl:

I bet you'll do it too. We've got great faith in your talent and determination, KC:A

It sounds as if you had a very satisfying day and had the opportunity to spend some well-deserved time on yourself and 'girly' things:T. There's more to life than mould and weeds;)
