I was overcharged for my colour last Thursday, they forgot to charge Friends and Family rate. :eek:

I am no longer brunette until it washes out. :rotfl:

DD3 will be glad to finish the cutting this year, she will not be doing any next year as it is theatrical hair and make up she will be doing. Dread to think what I might need to model then. :eek:

But I have said she can keep cutting mine to keep her hand in, I am really happy with the style, she takes her time but does a very good job. :T

Well done her!
Free haircuts for life.....you lucky thing!

It must be this time of year but I'm looking at all my kids and feeling very proud of their achievements. DS1 has had a fantastic first year at uni, DD has amazing end of year test results, DS2 has smashed every target (except maths ) set for him, and Billy, my new ( looks like permanent) guest puts his head down everyday and works like a little Trojan. He's a great kid and I feel very sad that his mother never saw that in him she is happy for him to stay here, which is good for us but sad for them
I had a very happy feeling when he didn't say anything but just gave me a big cheesy grin when I got home today :heart2:

Hello. :(I'm just recovering from idly searching around on Google whilst watching the match. I've just found out that a local radio presenter, whose show I listened to five nights a week during a 5 year period during the early 90s - the period when I really listened to the radio - has died. They actually died three years ago, but I've only just found out and it doesn't make it any better. (I remember also Scatman John, who had a hit (or maybe two?) in 1995, died in 1999 but I didn't find out until ten years later!) I've now gone and searched more, to see what further information or not to give. The (former) radio presenter had a long battle with a terminal illness - what a horrible way to go:(.

And now I've Googled around and found Mike Dickin (from Talk Radio/TalkSport) died some years ago - I didn't know that either. Another one of the local presenters also died about three years ago. And, now, Trevor Fry (from BBC in the South West) has died in the last day or so - they're all dying on us!:(_pale_

That's the thing now with the internet - in more recent times I've visited every BBC Local station's schedule at one stage or another, usually directed by a local breaking news story from the news channel. Not like the days when we used to listen to radio on, well a radio set actually. I'd therefore become aware of Trevor Fry and listened, possibly for an hour at some stage, to one of his shows, even though, folks, I'm not in South West England alright. (Narrowing it down:eek::rotfl:, although I suspect the very eagle-eyed amongst you, who have followed and read every one of my posts in depth, would already have done that - but... no more narrowing down now than that!;))

Now we have the whole of BBC local radio on the Internet - a good thing in my view anyway - it just increases the number of people (i.e. presenters) of whom I am aware. So that, inevitably, of the larger number of people the chance of one or another of them dying is now increased. I suppose, in a bizarre way, that's the 'problem' with forming any human relationships - sooner or later, the person will die and you'll be left feeling somewhere between a little and greatly upset by it.

And now I'm on to this: http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p020lyqj

Why do I do this to myself? (?!?:question:) It only makes me feel saddened to listen to it - I'm going to have to leave it off for a few days and return to it later.

I know my health, physical and mental can be sorted by DD2 and DD1 and my beauty by DD3.

Aww bless FC, I am so happy that all your brood are doing well including the newest addition. :T Smiles and grins are worth so much more than words.

Don't over think it love. I think you'd be better getting back on to the footy?

I had a blissful few days away from it and now I'm home

You have surprised me with that post. Deaths and illnesses that you knew nothing of have touched you in a way I wouldn't have expected of you. Interrrrrresting :cool:

Savvybuyer

I know I'm being silly, irrational and bizarre - I never met the presenter (the one whose whole shows I listened regularly to over a period of about 5 years) and never 'knew' them like that, they were never aware of me at any poinr (never phoned in, just a listener) but I suppose it's been said that radio is a more intimate medium (could have been said at any stage since humankind existed, da da:)) and yes it was a bit of a shock. Very sad.

Okay folks...anything else to distract me... may seem wrong but best way is to concentrate onto something else and not go to the things that upset you! I just have this nasty habit of wanting to find out more and just can't help drawing myself into things sometimes that I know are going to sadden me. Like the bordering-obsessive 'radio anorak' search for the link to the tribute programme for Mr Fry now.

[1] You taken the very point that I've now just made below (or, maybe, above). Namely, this point:

[2] Hmmm... yeah, and I envisaged that you might reply saying something like this, which you now have.:)

Equaliser in the match! Yes - best onto there - it is 'uplifting'!:)
