The Verdict

He doesn't like it! Too 'Purple'! I don't know. In certain light it does look all purple, but when it's evening, it is nice dark with a hint of plum! I think next time I might just try the very dark brown without any 'hint' of colour! Got to be a win win situation then! Though hubby probably won't like it, likes blond! But I just don't do blond!

Anyway, having a good couple of days, hubby has won some money (SHOCK!) and so we don't need a mini-loan to tide us over until we sort out the mortgage loan! For the 3rd time! Should get it right this time, right?...........

We are doing well, settled back into a normal routine, and I am trying to be more positive. I think everything that has happened these last few months clouded out our own problem, until today, when we got the answer we wanted and the stress and worry has now gone. Still going to go for counselling, just to make sure I am not hiding anything from myself, if you get what I mean. Anyway, we are strong.

Mum and Dad are going to relate....and she has apologised for dumping things on us kids. Though to be honest, I am glad I know, though I know I don't know everything, and probably never will, what I know is enough, and for me, right now, I don't want anything to do with him. May change with time but there we have it.

Well, off to bed, yet another late night.

Gone mad...

and dyed my hair! Purple! Well, Plum I think is the technical term for it...! Just done it and it is still wet........I think I like it! For the 1st time ever in the history of dying my hair, which isn't very extensive! I've been lighter, blond streaked, redish, and even bright orange in a bid to dye 1/2 my hair a different shade - it was meant to be copper! I had to go out to a friends hairdressers and she had to re-dye it, twice, to get it back to near normal! But I think I may have found one that I actually like!

I should go dry it and see how I feel then! Just don't want to go downstairs to get the dryer as I know hubby won't be impressed! I did warn him I was dying it, after the shock on his face and me saying I was just going a litte darker....well, might just give him a heart attack! I do have my son's approval though....Oh well, the new improved, lighter me likes it! (For now!)

One good day in ten....

That seems to be my lot.

Monday: What did I do Monday? Oh, arranged for tv repair man to come and look at the new plasma that has got a huge crack in the screen...duh, you can't repair that, it needs replacing! Company policy to send out a repair man 1st! Doh! I am sure it was damaged last Monday when they delivered it, meant to be a two man job to carry it, and one man was knocking on my door while the other got it out of the lorry and began to carry it! Hmmmmm.... Come Friday, went to check on the kids in bed, came back down to a blank screen and a humming noise...after calling samsung, they told me to contact kays, who would replace it as they have the guarantee. Called kays who can't do anything as it's the weekend!

Tuesday: Don't remember much apart from picking my son up from school early with a tummy bug, and going to the bank to try and sort out my finances...and feeling crap.

Wednesday: Can't remember, oh, yep, felt rubbish! Argued with the repair guy about the new tv being damaged, then with kays catalogue who said that it wasn't covered under the guarantee (5 days old!!!) and that they would bring it in for inspection....what was the repair guy for?! Until weigh in. But I only lost 0.5%, but did get my 10% wight loss keyring! Not as overjoyed as I was the week before when I thought I might have got it though.

Thursday: I seemed full of the joys of spring, felt good about myself for the first time in a long time, I had got my 10% weight loss, and was beginning to feel that I could do this! Got good comments on my weight loss, and took a pic on my phone to compare with my beginning pic, and could definitely tell I have lost weight on my chins!

Friday: can't even remember what happened Friday, just know I was no longer full of the joys of spring! Feeling rubbish again about money, why do we have to have money!?! Got cocked up again so waiting for new paperwork, checks, valuations etc etc.... ARGHHH! Oh, then got a text from my sister, saying mum and dad are at loggerheads again. She should just kick him out!!! Can you believe he had the nerve to say he loved her, but if she did kick him out he would go off with someone else, and she wouldn't get anyone else because she was too fat!!!! Makes me mad just typing it out, but my blood was boiling! If I ever see him again, I can't be held responsible for my actions!

Saturday: so far today, feeling a little better, got into my size 20 trousers and a skirt from next :) whoo whoo! 2 sizes down, 3 to go! LOL! Thinking of putting my nintendo ds lite and games onto ebay, and getting a nintendo wii for the wii fit! Think I will lose any weight? Hmmmmm fighting the urge to spurge! Going to take eldest to a party in half an hour and might go wander round the shops for a little retail therapy....well, I do need some new summer clothes, in a size 20!

Feeling a little better this week....

After letting off some steam. Mum knows what he is, who he is, and still wants to make it work, so who am I to judge? Just have to be there for her....

Anyway, what has happened since I last posted....I gave myself 1st degree burns, which are healing nicely now (though itching like mad).
I am skint...I have £6 in my purse and £11 in my account... all my credit cards are maxed up, and we are still waiting to get a loan sorted, been told 8 days from today we should get the cheque....otherwise we are up the creek without a paddle as they say! Managed to do my weekly shop on a budget! Quite proud of myself! Did forget to get onions and potatoes though! Brain like a sieve!
Everyone is fine, meds still working, which reminds me I haven't picked them up from the chemist....again! Can't be bothered to go out today again, so will get them tomorrow.
Managed to do some scrapbooking again this week, one page! And it took me hours! Do feel quite proud of the result though :)
Only lost 1/2lb last week too, which annoyed me, but hoping to do better this week. Need to get motivated to do some exercise....have given vac throughout the house today, and tidied up a bit...and been around the supermarket...feel knackered now! Got to go make meatballs....
