I like orange but..

Okay, I'll admit it, I've started having my hair coloured!! All these years, people ask = "Is that your natural colour" and I've always been able to say "Yes". But this year I decided to take the plunge and have a semi-permanent colour (to hide the grey hairs that no one but me can see).

I've had it done a couple of times and no one has ever noticed (and that's a good thing - the way I wanted it) but this time....well...I asked for a slightly lighter shade to get into the summer swing of things....and perhaps I shouldn't have. I should've stuck with the tried and true format of the past two colours. It is a touch "oranger" or brighter than perhaps I wanted!!! It's not toooo bad...but next time I'll go back to the previous shade I think.

I woke up this morning feeling lousy - sore throat and aches and pains....NO! I don't have time to be sick. Off to Toowoomba tomorrow with work...and I've so much to do before I go. Will get a chance to catch up with my good friend Ann and probably my great-aunt which will be lovely. Work is crazy atm - too much to do and not enough time. Home is crazy too - end of year 'stuff' - speech night this week on Wednesday which will be a relatively late night. No use complaining I guess - just get on with it! (Oh and give me the coderal cold and flu tablets - to soldier on!)

My weight loss efforts are going well - lost just over 2kg first week at WW. I've been walking everyday although haven't been today. My great scrappin' friend Zane (who's a WW leader) is giving me lots of advice and support as is the group on LSBS who are all trying to lose weight too. I've just about finished my weight loss counter LO - for adding prima flowers to for each KG I lose - thanks to Narelle on LSBS who sent us all our own bag of prima's for the # of KG's we hope to lose. What a lovely gesture!

Received an email from Jenny U with a link to a blog I hadn't visited before - an Australian scrap critic blog - very interesting reading! Check it out.
