    Dying my own hair too...has to go in the ugly part coz it really is not a pretty site..and yes, have the same problems with towels as you do!

    I dye my own hair, its not me that has the problem with towels, its my daughter so I always choose one she's already ruined! Oh and I always wear a 'hair dyeing' t shirt.

    Trust me if you grew up in my mother's home you would already have one. We weren't allowed to make a mess.

    The first time we said hello, was the first time we said goodbye. As the angels took your tiny hand and flew you to the sky-you forever left us breathless. RIP my beautiful granddaughter :(

    My friend swears that the three months she had to use cheap toilet rolls resulted in her 'exit' getting smaller in revenge. :eek: I use cheap toilet rolls, but there's cheap & there's cheap. :D

    • Non of the clocks in the house work because you've stolen all the batteries out of them to try and get your rampant rabbit to keep going just one more time:o

    Thank you for a good laugh
    if we didnt laugh we would be crying all the time! thats all im doing at the moment.

    Im filing for BR in the new year, on friday i tore the house to pieces i smashed a dining room chair, i feel terrible as a friend was borrowing them for christmas lunch and i had to explain she could only borrow 3.
    she asked if it could be fixed 'uh..not a chance!'

    I need a new washing up bowl

    A trip to spec savers after christmas ( what a prat) found them in the christmas tree

    The poor dog needs therapy (i didnt touch the dog ) he doesn't like noise and is highly strung! when i walk in the room he doesn't wag his tail anymore.

    Mobile survived, as did the dvd controls.

    this is before i go BR god only knows what im going to be like after.

    As for the Batteries (used to be a ann summers rep) wilko's are brill they do last quite a long time!!!!

    Have a Merry Christmas and peaceful New Year :xmastree::xmassign::xmastree:

  • Aw Lou, i'm glad it made you smile.
    The tears and tantrums seem to be part of the BR procedure, for me it was a way of beating myself up about what i'd done, a way to express to everyone around me that i wasn't coping.
    Release your tension if and when you can, don't let it boil inside (though it doesn't sound like you have:T )
    It does get better and easier and with the help of this board we'll carry you through the whole thing without lettting you so much as graze a knee:p
    Thanks for the battery tip, as your the second person to mention Wilkos batteries, i've added them to my xmas list. My parents face will be a picture when i unwrap 28 sets of batteries...now how am i going to explain to them my need for sooo many batteries:o
    Hope you have a good christmas Lou, take care x
