Yes...this is ALL about me, and mine. Marvellously self indulgent, feel free to tell me how splendid I am, leave comments, nice ones please, I have little kids and teenagers who can do the rude stuff. I am a grandma, to the glorious Joshua, I'm allowed to look frazzled and weary, I earned it. The older I get, the more I see that hanging on and being patient is worth it! They ( whoever 'they' are) are so right when they say you never know what is around the corner, it isn't always an articulated truck! It is vital to make the time for making memories, friends are the greatest treasure, I love mine. I am rich!

Me. Having been pampered and feeling a bit splendid.

This is me, having had masses of hair cut off and feeling a little bit good about myself.
Grandpa left and gave H some cash, he hid £100 in my reading book, when I found it he said it was to spend on just me! For the first time in forever I took him at his word and walked right out of the house and into a posh hairdressers, without asking the price, I let them do what they wanted and then bought all the snazzy products they had used.....what a treat!!
Of course, it stays straight and glamourous looking for about 10 minutes and then starts curling like a wild thing with a mind of it's own, but I love it, I love not having to drag it all back all the time and my husband has run his fingers through my hair many times! He said he was afraid to try before in case he never got his hand back...that mop was a scary thing I tell you, long curly hair is not a thing to be reckoned with lightly!




So for now I am enjoying my new look, hoorah for feeling good about myself.

You. Look. Awesome.
Actually, it's absolutely astonishing how much you look like Sophie (or rather she like you!). Those gorgeous blue eyes would draw anyone's attention! I LOVE the new hair cut, and am so happy that you had a chance to do something absolutely 100% for YOU!
