Fly Away

Sounds like the hairdresser knew what she was doing then - you'll just have to go back quickly and become a glamorous brunette.

I wouldn't try the plum, just in case it goes wrong....

I know what you mean about the blond making you feel better. (It covers the grey too.) I have been blond for 20 years although I am a light brunette naturally. When I was pregnant, I didn't colour my hair and I didn't look like me anymore. I couldn't wait to go blond again afterwards.

God, I hope they have decent colourists in Oz.

oh dear - sorry on vodka and forgot who had problem with ginge hair - just wanted to say that you need to colour with something 'ash' that tones down red, or use any shampoos that have a violet colour... you can get the sachets shades and tones in boots and the like.

its cost a 179 euro for a the first 12 week plan in which she 2 stone.
they get you to fill in a questionniare and work out your metabolism and a diet and exercise plan from that. she does alot of walking and now she doesn't even miss the food she used to love.

Fly Away

You had my dream!

Sadly only the hair and the light tan bit is attainable...

Thanks for the karma Fly, i'm ok really gotta laugh eh nothing can compare to the stress of waiting for the visa.xx

Fly Away

Just thought it would cheer you up a bit. I am very precious about my hair, so I would be an emotional mess if it happened to me.

How far into the visa process are you?

The kids had to help me make dinner today (2 and 6) making a very healthy stirfry and grilled salmon i found at the back of the freezer on my last diet effort! OMG if that wasnt stressfull enough 2 kids, arguing, knives, fire etc etc. how i havent eaten anything bad today i dont know
Think i may have to go to bed soon as getting the munchies aarrrggghhh!

We started with our tra in august so we missed the changes on the 1st sept which would have been a nightmare and twice the money!!
Visa app went in online 8th Oct, not quitte a year like yourselves must be worse.
Where you headed?

Fly Away

You've done really well.

I managed to cut up my daughter's M&S chocolate birthday cake without having any. (Torture) but I did have a choc bar this afternoon when I was felling pissed off.

Fly Away

We're headed to Adelaide. SA is the only place which will sponsor us and we need the points.

We had a traumatic run up - dodgy agent, difficult skills assessment, SA shut down for 3 months, and 1st Sept changes, so we have only just applied for the visa. Should be with us by May though. hence the comfort eating.

gazclaire

amazing , bet you sucked every morsol off your fingers tho!
Well done thats self control or wasnt there enough pieces to go round? Mind you there is only 8 kids so good on ya!

Fly Away

I had just eaten dinner - so was feeling full. Otherwise I would have had some.

Problem is we have another 'whole' cake for her to blow the candles out on and we will bring this home.

Do you want some??

gazclaire

I'm with you on that hun!
What do you or oh do trade wise, my oh is a plumber and is greatly needed so we where told but some threads seem to say otherwise.
Would have been nice to meet up, we have friends going to Adelaide on a trade sponsor tho.

gazclaire
