    I'm summer which is a complete shock! I have to wear bright colours preferably clashing! I had it done in Mistral in Chelt and promptly spent £138 on bright coloured clothes! LOL! They did make up and styling too so it was really a very fun hour and in the long run will save me £100's because bad buys will be a thing of the past!

    OOh - a fellow Glos county person??

    Where's Mistral? I had mine done years ago (about 16/17 years ago) and fancy having it redone (and how much was it, please? :p)

    :j well done PO, that's superb :j
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    Thanks SA!
    The good news is I went for my last counselling/therapy doodah last night - unless I feel I need to go again! He and I both reckon I'm ok now and ready to take on the world with new-found self-esteem and assertiveness! That's going to save me £50 a throw too.
    Watch out world - PO is on the loose!!!!
