If your hair needs cutting I would just give it a good blow dry with a round brush and put plenty of hairspray in to give it some oomph. Then paint your nails, bit of lippy and mascara, you're good to go
I own no nail varnish, hairspray or mascara.

I don't think the VIP will expect you to look done up to the nines - you will be meeting him/her in the workplace not at a charity reception. A couple of years ago I had to meet an HRH at work - I just wore what I usually wear in the office - Marisota trousers and a M&S top!

I think a visit that goes well will do wonders for how you feel. I don't see anything wrong with putting one hair cut on a credit card if you can pay it off quickly and it will help you feel confident about the day. The work you do is amazing Beanie.
Thanks Butti.
Too late to do anything now.

I'm sure you'll look fab. Just plaster a big smile on your face and nothing else will matter.
