Wed 30^th July…

Only 2 more days to go then its Saturday…

Saturday 2^nd August, my 40^th birthday…

It started of a normal sort of day, lazy morning…checked my laptop for anything other than sales e-mails… no…

Had my shower and that’s when I decided…

Well it was sort of when I got out of the shower and looked in the mirror really…

that my hair looked a bit… well drab.

You see I have left it for some time now without any colour and gone naturally grey,

salt and pepper I think they call it… any way this morning, with only 2 more days to go, I made my mind up there and then…

WHITE BLONDE…

Now has luck would have it I’ve already got an appointment booked for today, and what’s-more the 3 kids are booked in as well so I’ve got a while in there anyway…

What the hell just phone and see if they can fit me in!

Ellie has been doing my hair for 7 years now, the last 2 of which being at her salon, so is quite used to me by now, (although still gets worked up about doing my colours, can’t for the life of me understand why!!)

So when I phone and say what I want it wasn’t too much of a shock and she managed to fit me in!

What a star…

3.15pm the kids and I arrive on mass at the hairdressers, oh at this point the kids don’t realise that I’m having a colour…

I sit down and that’s when the transformation started and when the kids realised that they have got a long wait ahead of them!

The time went quite quickly for me, what with coffees… flicking through various magazines… the usual gossip, ect…

I had completely forgotten I have the kids with me, by this point I’m down to 2 as the eldest has taken himself to his mates…they were very good… bless them!

I normally have to give them money to go to the shop just to keep them quite but not today… couldn’t quite work it out at first but I think it must have been the shock!

5.45pm. It’s done…

I’m white blonde… I have the look I wanted…

I have white hair…

When I go out on Sunday with the family, in my amazing new outfit…

(That’s another story!)

I have the look I wanted for my 40^th birthday…

and all I have done is assisted the greying process with just a little help from some peroxide and an amazing hairdresser and her team!!
