I booked myself in for a hair make over and head massage and colour test and general make alex look wonderful thin g today with a salon in Middlesbrough that has come second in the national hairdressing awards two years running,I was sweet talked into it by a charming young man who told me I had fabulous hair ( not as Fab as Blus I can tell you ) and I looked tired and stresed and that not only would they do my hair and and cut it in a style that suited the way my hair grows rather than a style where I have to fight the natural lankness,but they will also ply me with wine while they do it,I shall let you know how it goes it;s not for a couple of weeks yet and I have to mortgage the kids and sell the dogs to pay for it.
I got tom some bargain shoes today ,I am so sickof my kids using their toes to stop their bikes rather than thier brakes the average life of a trainer in our house is 2 weeks.Anyway I found some tony hawk ( not to be con fused with the author of round ireland with a fridge who I have a secret pash on ) skate shoes for £3 todat thats lessthan five of your funky american dollars.
I bought a new book yesterday ,how to lose yourself or something like that ,its quite engrossing so far its probably been huge in the states..

My son turned into a label hound with no warning. At one time he bought six shirts from Wal-Mart that all looked alike so that no one could tell if he was wearing the same shirt for a week or not. Now he won't wear anything unless it comes from Abercrombie & Fitch. I don't understand why you'd want to buy expensive clothes that look used and wrinkled, but I've been told I'm utterly clueless in this area (and I am; my last fashion statement was my hat)

LP gets "fresh" tshirts 4 sizes too big and gives me instructions on how to laundry them. Some are to be washed only and air dried yeah, right.
Dickies brand button down shirts are big now.....that's good in a way because they're cheap and available at Target & WalMart.
He cleans his shoes on a daily basis..and they CANNOT get creases in them so at night he stuffs them with toilet paper so they poof out
