    Wouldn't it be fab if we could all meet up. We are all over the place though unfortunately. I know a few years ago someone used to instigate forum meet ups.

    I'm growing my hair, my new hairdresser is fab and is getting the layers to grow out so my hair is much thicker. It's shoulder length now so won't let it get much longer.

    Tomorrow's plans are WW, cleaning and grandkids coming.

  • Great that you’ve got your old diary back SA!:T

    Yes wouldn’t it be nice to have an MSE diaries meet up. Would have to hold it in the middle of the UK somewhere though as a central meeting point for everyone! Perhaps when the summer arrives and all this bad weather is a distant memory.......

    Hope Mr SA’’s back is better. So he has a secret stash does he.........:D

    Oh and can I have some of your thick hair?:D

    Ooh the middle of the UK would be fab for me as that's where I live, nice and cosy right in the middle :) We should do it though for those who want to, when the weather picks up as you say.

    SSG you wouldn't want my hair in the morning - bird's nest is the word. I spend ages taming it every morning then a bit of moisture or wind in the air and it's a mess again. I just need a hairdresser to do my hair every morning really :)
