Default WARNING! - don't use a webcam........

unless you don't mind your family in Uk seeing what you now look like :scared:

you see - because of the time difference.....it'll either be
a) early in the morning - when i look as rough as hell :scared:
b) late at night - when i look ......as rough as hell (again)

HOW DO I KNOW

because...this week i received a " parcel " from my folks back home containing

for Child 1 - cuddly toy from Disney Store
for Child 2 - ditto
for Child 3 - ditto
for OH - a keyring
for me (their long lost only daughter) - a sachet of hair conditioner for Dry/Damaged hair :scared:

so the next time I'm on MSN and "invited" to use aforementioned webcam - i shall politely type:-

"Sorry! - it's broke!"

YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!

I wouldn't really be bothered what I looked like if I was talking to my family. Unless I was naked that is

LOL, I was talking to my friend on a Sunday morning when my OH got out of bed after a very heavy night on the town and she thought her web cam wasn't working 'cos he was green and she couldn't see his eyes!!

When we went back a few months ago all our friends thought we looked ill! And kept asking if we were all right. One of the wifes friends even tool her to oneside to ask if everything was all right as she was dressed like a chav!

Ahhh feel for your mate! Maybe the hair conditioner was a free sample (my nan sends me stuff like that)? We now have a webcam and I saw my friend for the first time in ages the other night, she looked ..........FANTASTIC! Beautiful hair, make up, clothes etc.....I looked............CRAP, dowdy hair, no make up, just got in from work etc etc Wish I had access to my wonderful hairdresser in the UK Miss her so much! Decided to trim and colour my hair myself...will let you know how it goes (I refuse to pay $300 for a colour and cut)

Stop the clock: $300 for a cut and colour OMG :scared: better start getting used to the idea of gracefully going gray - or meet a chum to colour it for me!

Default Re: WARNING! - don't use a webcam........

I started using MSN last week and the first friend I had a chat with said 'I cant see you, have you got a web cam'? Well, we have, but its broken - thank goodness i thought as it was 6.30am which isn't the best time of the day for me I dont know abt you guys

Thats the trouble with the time diff its usually first thing in the morning when i get on line and probably look like something from the living dead

Oh well, the fun will really start when my MUM is at the other end checking me out - help :scared: My sister has just got a PC and I chatted to her for the first time yesterday - it was good but again, 'Cant wait till we have our Web Cams set up can you Gill'? all i thought was OMG - NO!!!

What fun - NOT! Its good to talk

Going off subject - Cor Blimey! I agree! $300 for a cut and colour - WT.? I paid $65 when i first arrived here and I thought that was bad enough - its a DIY job now and just as good I might add - well the colouring anyways

shocking isn't it? They say to you "do you mind if I put a little treatment on your hair its in very bad condition?", you agree, you also agree to them blow drying and straightning your hair (cos you want to look your best) then you get the bill and find they've charged you for everything seperately!!!! If I have to go now I refuse treatments, and tell them I'll dry and straighten my hair myself at home! A friend of mine cuts costs further by washing her hair at home, wrapping it in a towel then going off to the hair dressers! Crazy!

It's a scandal innit!!

I paid $200 last time for cut and colour. It's like a weeks shopping money.
I'm now saving up for my next one :scared:
