One of those days

I woke up tired ............huh I went to bed at 9pm last night so why was I so tired this morning?

Today was going to be a big day for me.

Not a big day in that anything special was going to happen just several small things that I don't do any other time.

my plan was this:

leave work at lunch time (Boss has awarded me 2 x half days in return for working longer hours while Wayne was off sick for two weeks).

On the way home collect skirt that was being repaired.

Go home have cooked lunch for a change

spend an hour blogging out of normal hours whilst waiting for my groceries to arrive (this is the first time I ahve ordered my groceries online) I had booked a delivery slot between 2pm - 4pm.

5pm appointment for very expensive hair cut/colour.

So this is what actually happened.

I was late leaving work because I ended up getting caught answering the phone and getting delayed because then I ahd to investigate and write up the customer's complaint.

the dry cleaner's couldn't find my skirt

my groceries didn't turn up ...............I have a half prepared chicken casserole prepared, just waiting for vegetables
It turns out that I didn't click the final button to finalise the transaction so I ahve now booked it for friday evening.

As I left the house to go to hairdresser (by now I figured that I would end up with orange hair with my luck) I fell over and cut my knee twisted my ankle and grazed my hands whilst making a hole in my new tights. lucky my skirt is long enough to hide the hole.

well this is where my luck changed...........I got my hair coloured lots of brown weaved in using foils s that my roots will blend in better and I can let the colour grow out without it showing. I now have whispy white strands at the front which I quite like. So after 2 hours of having my hair treated and cut I emerged with a tidier version of the style I had walked in with but now nearer to my natural colour.

Following this I went to visist my mum to show her my early birthday present from her. She likes the new look and took a couple of pictures for me as well as giving me enough cash to cover all but what I would have paid for a normal cut.

Whilst I was with my mum I got a phone call from Romeo.......he won't be able to get back for my birthday as he is off on more travels. He was about to go to the airport as we were speaking. He will be in touch when he can but most of the places he works have their own internet systems which won't recognise his laptop. I can understand that as our system at home won't recognise DC's laptop.

I had a long chat with mum about various things then headed off to do some much needed grocery shopping and getting home to watch the second episode of this year's The Apprentice.

Overall it has been one of those days where everything goes wrong but I have been laughing my way through

Oh and he is crazy in love, he doesn't need me now, he can't eat, can't sleep and wants to shout it from the roof tops that he is in love............he is even reconsidering his thoughts on getting married again

Before you get all excited I am not referring to Romeo although he told me at the weekend that he can't believe how strong his feelings for me are. No the man who is in love is none other than my final fling that never happened and now won't................Sammy

gone mad

At the weekend I went mad

Firstly I decided to take a skirt to the dry cleaner's to be repaired. The only thing wrong with it is that the zip has broken. It is costing me £9.95 to have a new zip put in. I think I bought the skirt for about £5 so basically I am paying double the amount for the zip than I paid for the skirt in the first place. But I really like this skirt, I like the cut of it, I love the way it falls in soft folds, the way it swings as I walk. I love the feel of the soft brown fabric (I forget what material it's made from) but it just feels so lovely. So to me it is worth paying to get a new zip put in.

secondly, when I went to the dry cleaner's I was parked outside my hair salon and decided to make an appointment for just after payday at the end of the month. Now this is where the insanity really kicked in. I only had my hair cut 2 weeks ago so it isn't due another cut for at least a month. So because I feel like getting my hair done I opt for a colour treatment instead.

My natural hair is dark brown although I am sure it is now more a case of salt and pepper. But over the last two or is it three years I have been adding colour, sometimes auburn, other times chestnut and sometimes just some light streaks to break up the colour. THe last couple of times my son's have assisted in applying the hair colouring. The result being that instead of streaks the coulours ahve merged into one great spread of copper. So I am going to get a 'T cut' what ever that means. This should result in some darker streaks to break up the pale copper effect that in some light can appear blonde..........that explains my recent behaviour.........I have been looking in the mirror and thinking I am blonde..........started having too many blonde moments.

Now this has to be one of my greatest blonde moments. My regular hairdresser is not free to do a colour treatment on the day I chose so I ahve the manageress doing it (she has cut my hair the last two times anyway) But this means that I ahve to pay the higher fee for the priviledge. So £60 for the colour treatment and £21 for the cut and blowdry this is going to be my most expensive hair cut ever. OMG £81 the most I ahve ever paid has been the last couple of times at £33 a time and I am not keen on paying that much so posh bird has promised to give me the number of her hairdresser.

So damage limitation called for.........good old mother has agreed to this being my early birthday present.
