Fantastic greent 😄 a friend of mines hair grew back differently after chemo but it did grow back normally in time xx

Yay to eyebrows!  Very happy for you - I wish you had a bit more solo downtime for recharge though, I completely understand missing that.  Hope the back to work goes well anyway.

Great news on the eyebrows. How was the hair cut?

Oooh - that was a long time away from here! Work was so crazy this past half term - I ended up working 50 hour weeks for weeks in a row - this was after I was told I could have some half/ shorter days in the run up to the hols (being still in recovery and all that....)... nope, not a chance. Was on my knees by the time I finished working and left left - which was around 90 minutes after school broke up and the staff party started outside my office door..... (I didn't want to go - I wanted to go home but had work to do first)

Anyway, enough of that. I'm on a break until Jan 3rd - whoop! But on a different note 3 of my house have covid.... meh. It means our Xmas plans are a little changed  - but not too bad.

Finally got around to having a haircut today (I've cancelled 2 since finishing chemo)  - I have old lady hair! The chemo curls are crazy - and are growing upwards, so stick out all over the place - but at least I have hair, I guess! When stretched out it is  2 inches long (post trim) and the  pre chemo hair that I have left is some fringe (some longer wispy bits which aren't worn as a fringe but are swept side/backwards over the crazy curls) It is not my hair!! 🤣🤣 (well, not as I've ever known my hair) - DD says it looks/ feels like a labradoodle's coat.... 🤣🤣

I have all the stocking wrapping to do and a few small presents and then some cards to write. And still some decorating to do - and red cabbage and bread sauce to make and then prep veg for the day - I'm just hoping the covid ridden children are feeling better by then!! (And that they don't share it with anyone else!) Ooh - and I definitely have some cleaning to do.... and am lacking in helpers now! 

Will be back again soon - but it's time for bed x

You're a labradoodle!  They're very beautiful 🐕🐩🌞

Life sounds busier than you'd like - I hope the covid germs waft their way away from your house nice and quickly.  But please get some down time!

If 3 have covid, does that still leave you two as helpers? Seriously, get some rest!!!!!!

Eek to working such long hours and to covid.

Glad you got chemo and managed to get hair done.

Hope you have a lovely Christmas.

newgirly

Yes, what apple muncher said, get some rest please 😬 also have a good Christmas greent!

so these pics have come out in the wrong order - but the not-a-lot-of-hair-ones are from the start of June and late June  (both after chemo number 3) and the other pic is today (yesterday) - all that hair is post chemo regrowth - all 'old' hair was cut off just before Xmas.
