I took the plunge last week and sat in my hairdresses for over 7 hours, yes you heard that correctly 7 HOURS!!!! but i emerged will a complete new look, gone is my long brown winter hair, hello shorter, layered blonde hairdo.  Its taken a bit of getting used to, but I'm really quite pleased with it. 

Its amazing how a change of hairdo makes you feel like a different person, and what an impact it has on how others see/treat you.  Its really crazy, but after only 4 days of being 'blonde' I've noticed that I'm being noticed more, and if I say something people actually appear to let me speak and listen to me, I mean, yeah, I appreciate that they may be thinking -'god she's talking a load of [bleep]' but at least I can get my sentance out without someone just talking over me, as though my words aren't even worth air time.

I also actually feel different, like there was a different person supressed inside me, and now i've gone blonde its emerged.

very odd, but quite nice.

Final thought: Blondes DO have more fun...

Needless to say the very next day I was armed with industrial strength slug killer and a giant tub of flexible gap filler to make sure that no more beasties can invite themselves inside...

I think I will remember this always, as its one of those really gross moments that stay with you forever *yuk*

The house is coming along well, we've fixed the leek in teh bathroom, must poaint over the damp patch on the kitchen ceiling..well its not damp anymore, just a water stain thing. Still main thing is that the shower isn't leeking water everywhere now!

Can't believe its been 12 months since we got married! seems like only a few months ago. Went back to where we got married for thhe weekend, was lovely, had flowers delivered to the room and everything, drank champagne all weekend, will stop ther just in case parents or parents-in-law read this....

Was racking my brains what to get bready for his anniversary gift, decided in teh end on a Sheer Bliss experience at our local Spa..no, you naughty people, its not what your thinking (although that would be quite cool) it was 3.5 blissful hours of chilling out in thick robes and slippers, having a jacuzzi or several, time in teh steam room and sauna, they even had a barrel filled with iced water with pieces of orange and lemon floating in it - the idea being that you use a face cloth to close your pores after being in one of the afore mentioned...was most cool (no pun intented) Then we had a lovely candlelight meal....only to arrive back home to frantic neighbours who had been trying to get hold of us all evening dur to the fact that an inconsiderate (and speeding) van driver had gone through our wall (well it was their wall, but had strewn the bricks all over our new driveway)...oh i don't care...i'm far to chilled, i just openined another bottle og wine & watched telly!

Bready got me a wonderful gift..he has bought me a photo-shoot session. I have to take a selection of outfits, i get my hair and make-up professionally done, and get to act like a model all day! should be fantastic, but am having to double my efforts at the gym in the meantime, I wonder what kind of photos they'll be...(might have to make a special appointment for that)

Is it really naught of me to be sitting here on a saturaday night, dinking a bottle of champagne all by myself whilst bready is in the loft? - no, oh good!

well i suppose i'd better go, champagne nearly all gone, must put another one in fridge for later - having some food would probably be a good idea as well.

PS: Smonkeys tip of the day - don't play mastermind whilst drunk...it plays havoc wih your stats!

love

I should be really busy, with all my imminent deadlines, but it's too hot, and between you and me, I really can't be arsed.  Think i'll just spend the rest of the day surfing the net for bargins on sofas.  I suppose I should have started by introducing myself - 'Hello' *waves*, as i'm a wanted lady, i go by various names - smonkey, monkey, moo, caffeine queen...just to evade caputre by...oh can't say too much - line not secure! (too much Bond?) - s'ok think the heat is getting to me.

Anyway, as Breadmower said, we are moving house, from our little flat *sniff* to a proper house of our own! *yay*  we've just bought a fridge/freezer and a bed, so now its just dining chairs, washer/dryer, sofa...oh yeah and the house!  Tell you what though, I am an expert grouter - recently finished the bathroom - it looks fab, just like a little spa.  Well i can't really think of what to say now, other than i need a wee...oops, probably shouldn't have said that 'out loud' never mind.  Well as i said, gotta go...byeee xxx
