    Pigpen how did you get on with your when you went for the chop?

    I hate it.. it isn't how I wanted it at all.. I wanted it kind of feathered round the front and it is all choppy.. and I wanted the length the same (with a slight trim) and she hacked about 6 inches off.. and I wanted it gradually layered and it is in 3 really choppy ones.. and the shorter one isn't short enough.. and I have so much hair it wouldn't be hard to have done.. anyway.. next time I'm doing it myself.. like I usually do.. and I'm going to do DD1's as well cos she said pretty much the same.. the bizarre thing was..my sister went the week after us and she did hers how we wanted ours and ours how she wanted hers!!

    and I look like a pompom.... I hate my hair I am thinking of shaving it off and getting a wig!

    I bloody hate kids.. I am so glad I am going out in an hour...ggggrrrrr.. all I seem to have done since they came out of school is tell them off!!

    Whinging, throwing stuff poking each other in the eye, pushing and shoving, running off, being lazy and cheeky and pretending they didn't know what I meant when it was quite obvious, taking food they don't need seeing as I'm doing dinner in half an hour and just not behaving in a nice manner at all...

    I've been squinting at the screen all day complaining baout the sun.. and one of the pests has fiddled with the brightness so it is on max. ... now fixed...

    Oooh.. DD3 has a carpet to clean.. I forgot about that... :D

    Afternoon,

    We are mainly chilling here. We were up at 1:30 and 6 with Sam, DS1 woke at 6 when Sam cried. So DH got up with him, i had more time in bed - didn't get up till 9:30 but only fair as it is me doing all the feeding in the night, and although DH claims he is tired, i don't see how it is the same as he wakes up then turns over and sleeps. Oh well.

    When DS1 had an early nap, DH popped to the shop for some bread, and i watched last nights desperate housewifes. Neither of us can be bothered with much today.


    wed - [STRIKE]finish off and send off child benefit pack[/STRIKE]

    Right, I'm off for a HHC, or as long as I can get - DD2 is in her swing watching Baby Einstein - I love those DVDs, they're a Godsend! :D

    Anyone else joining me?

    Do you know, it's so cold here now, I've turned the heating on! Maybe I'm feeling colder because i'm not moving about so much.... I'm glad I've settled on beef stew for dinner tonight.

    Pigpen mine are driving me senseless too - sent them to their rooms (younger two) DS1 not feeling well so he is not being a problem. I want dinner to be ready now!
