    Home from a delightful time spent with 2 of my granddaughters. Such a wonderful time short though it was. Won't see them again until after the New Year I don't think.

    In agony and hands hurt, it was expected though so no point moaning about it. A rub of some special stuff and extra pain killers should help to calm it a little I hope.

    Ready for bed and have approx 10 pages to catch up on:eek: slacker

    Have a good evening guys, see you tomorrow xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    I kept trying to tone down to a darker blonde this year and everyone loves it as I don't look as ill and washed out but what has finally worked for me is a brown in my natural colour with blonde highlights. Have had a few red ones put through at times too.

    Give it time as it takes quite a bit of getting use to.

    Thanks VT I've always been the original colour from when a child but over the years have needed to have the roots done with some vegetable dye not actual bleach to keep it that way. So time for a change I guess. :)
