Dirty Blonde

Its been a great week, the days seem to be flying by...

we've been dancing as normal and doing quite a lot recently, my spare time seems to be filling itself up but thankfully its all good stuff..

Yesterday was my day to visit Dayle at his hairdressers...

We still couldn't decide what to do with my hair so i left it to the guys there, Stell brought me round a brunette wig to try thankfully and it was shocking, so we decided to change my colour slowly and just add in colour every couple of weeks..

I spent 3 hours yesterday in Dayle's capable hands (and a very posh reclining chair that massages you as you get styled!) lol im not used to such posh shops but loved every minute of it..

You would be wise to visualise an oven ready turkey at this point, he so was patient, my hairs very fine but there's lots of it so he had a really tough time of delicately adding in bits of colour, we went for caramel and brown to start with..

3 hours later i came out with spirals and a huge smile on my face, so im now officially a DIRTY Blonde..lol

Dayle came back to ours for a well earned meal and i got stopped by half the neighbours all wanting to know where i got my hair done, im so pleased my fella totally loves it and although im still blonde its a much more natural shade and doesn't look like my usual tacky yukky colour..

The best bit.......I got charged 12 quid.............lol

as i was a relative i only had to pay for the colours, i got to meet probably the most tallented bunch of hairdressers in one place you can imagine who all made me feel totally welcome and happy, one of the lads there (hes only 22 bless )also said he thinks id be an animal in bed ! hehehe (i didn't make any noises and was actually on my best behaviour all afternoon too) Dayle didn't want to tell me that part but after a couple of glasses of wine couldn't help himself so we had a good giggle and booked my next appointment in... ill make sure i growl at him next time just to watch his face !lol

I loved the day no work just total pampering, i couldn't be happier with what hes done and cant wait til my next visit now............

Strike a pose

Its Saturday... the weekends arrived in style and after a week sorting out the house and garden we decided it was time to have some fun..

We went riding again this morning to me pulling into kimblewicks car park with an awful noise coming from my car, so i called the AA and hoped i could slot the lesson in before they got there.. im so glad i didnt have to miss it, what a lesson, its just getting better and better, we were doing 5 jumps in a row this morning as i was in my element, Lauren did brilliantly .. the timing was perfect as we just turned in the AA had pulled in so i got to make the lesson the wheel was fixed (stones in the brake disc) and it didnt mess up the morning thankfully...

We went out last night to Madonna tribute night, talk about a wild night..lol

When we walked in the place looked beautiful all lit up with glowing bowls of floating candles, it really was something else to see..i got a free pink cowboy hat too! which has happily joined my collection for holiday...

I was the dedicated driver so wasnt drinking, but after watching our friend hit the stage on his own i really did want a drink and to join in.......he is hillarious and doesnt care what anyone thinks it shocks the life out of some people, which is highly amusing to watch.. he certainly made the Madonna act giggle, we were told by his girlfriend not to let him have my cowboy hat as he has a habit of stripping .... i bet thats amusing to watch ..lol

He was born in Norwich but has lived in Cyrus all his life until this year, so hes not stuck to our british over civilised attitude and stiff upper boring lip...his partner was as much a giggle as him sot is twice the fun....

Debby Rowe who was our Madonna for the night was cracking up and trying to keep a straight face singing, especially when Mark gets up during her act and starts dancing to vogue with all the movements (seeing really was believing)he is really good, and does things that make the jaws drop which is always good in my books..but nobody complained, they just wished they could do it and it seemed to end up contagious , by the end of the night people who wouldnt normally get up and dance were all trying to have a go, so it made for a brilliant night all round..it was great to see my fella having so much fun, although i had a job getting him to come home..he told my dad when we did eventually roll in he'd only had 2 wines... what he didnt say was it 2 bottles..oops he has a hangover from hell today (serves him right i say) lol

Ive been out with some fun people in my time and had some wonderful unforgetable nights, and last night will deinately be joining those nights, i honestly thought it wasnt going to be any good...it was the first night out we had with our new friends, but i hope it wont be the last......they were such a giggle and great fun to be around....

As for our Madonna for the night (Debby rowe)... she was brilliant and had us all up singing & dancing the night away .. I danced to every song the dj played and this morning feel like i havent been to bed..

So its a huge thank you to new friendships.. and for making everyones night, one for the armchair, it definately was a friday night to remember.. although my fella cant remember much of the later half and has now gone to salsa lessons looking like he needs to go back to bed.....lol

I went out expecting nothing and came home laughing my head off... it was a totally brilliant night and has given me many smiles this morning... I cant wait for the Grease night now, its fancy dress so time to make those Olivier Newton John trousers, ive always wanted a pair but now have the perfect night to wear them......

Im now gonna make myself a nice cuppa sit down and come back down to earth...

Dayles up tonight so we have a family night planned, knowing my family it wont be a quiet one, so tomorrow im planning a day of doing absolutely nothing, ,maybe a walk up a beach and a lovely early night... i never thought id say this........ but i really need one.........lol

Blonde or Brunette ?

What a week, its been manic...........

Im spring cleaning out my house out with everything that doesnt move, so every day im taking on another room...I teamed up withs Sandra and took a day off from my normal work so i could really get to grips with it...ooops i got 4 bin bags of clothes toys and things she had collected its now ready for painting and clear.. it looks & feels so much better...

Tuesday night was belly dancing and salsa, it was one of the best nights weve had although its also getting harder, the spins are now turning into elabrote ones and i cant practise at class with my fella..lol we argue ! ..lol we never argue normally, but as soon as we dance together at salsa classes i either get told to bugger off and dance with someone else, last week its because im ahead of him and he cant keep up (thats not really true as he is doing an extra 2 hour class every saturday without me, and is getting good) i take little steps and my fella takes big ones so when it comes to turns it gets complicated, we were doing an interlocked one where i go under then he does its supposed to be done very fast but together we cant quite seem to fit !! hehe

He palmed me off with someone else and i did pick it up, the same happened to my fella with another girl, they got it straight away....lol when we practise at home it works without argument and we have a right giggle, mind you im wearing short skirts and no underwear so it makes him want to get those turns right...lol

So we are spillting up at classes now and just practising together in private, it works much better and we should eventually end up being able to dance together when we know what we are doing a bit better...........

Anyway dayle came up last night to see us after work, it was a nice surprise as we didnt expect it so it made for another good night...

Hes been cutting everyones hair here, Ryan looks terrific and has been complimented all day at school by the girls, all wanting to stroke him(im not saying anything here)lol im just glad hes happy at school full stop, no doubt i will have worse to come...lol

But he also got his scissors out on me last night too and my fella loves it, i havent lost any length as im growing it, but hes given me probably the best hair cut ive ever had.............

But it started me and my partner off in a conversation which is where i need your help please...

I want to try something a bit different and change

......... from a blonde to a brunette....................

Ive done my blondes have more fun bit so id love to prove thats theres no difference, its not about the hair colouring its about what lifes inside a person, and seems springs coming and i intend doing all sorts of non blogable things in those woods, i really feel like a change.......

My fellas all up for it and is encouraging it........so

Do I ............ dont I ?............... please help.........lol

I have been a blonde since meeting my partner, but was dark when i was younger, so its 15 years getting away with making the excuse of being blonde and i think now time for me to have a change.......

The photo of Jessica above is the colour i would be going, (if i go through with this), Dayles booked me in his posh place to do the change but now i need you guys to help me out and tell me what you think....

Am i doing right......

Blonde or Brunette ? ............

What do you think ?

Peaceful

Its been a great couple of days, we were out sunday at my aunts for the day, she has the most amazing garden its like a wood...Its huge but a lot of hard work as that in itself is a full time job..

Dayle was up on saturday night and gave Lauren and Ryan a haircut, my god hes one tallented lad, ive never seen anyone use scissors like hes does, he certainly takes after his dad with wanting to be good at what hes doing, if he sticks at this i think he will be a bit special in the hair styling world, hes got something very special...I trained from 13 and worked in a hairdressers after school 4 nights a week so i can cut hair, but he gave Ryan a style i could have never done it looks amazing, ive just got the job every day of styling it before he goes to high school (as if i dont have enough to do in the mornings lol) its a good job i get up early..........

Yesterday i worked from home combining working with my partner and trying to sort the house out.. the kids seem to use me as an open house at weekends and i get half the neighbourhood in, i dont mind as id rather they were in here than playing in the streets, would just appreciate it not being trashed everyday.. does parenthood ever get any easier? lol

My eldest is a gem and really does support me, hes hitting the kevin stage at the moment wants trendy haircuts, uses the words ' whatever!' more often and i have to get up and blow dry his hair before school now....lol but hes a good lad and always telling me how much he loves me and gives me hugs... so that makes up for any grief, i really am so proud of how hes turning out, hes the one who makes everyone smile at home at school and even at work, he will ring me to just say hi....sometimes when you juggle being a working mum your'e doing your best you feel guilty, i do, guilty that i cant spend more time with them and am always juggling, i remember the same thing with my mum she worked 7 days a week and us girls would help each other in between the fighting..lol I do let the kids have sleepovers and mates round most nights and a couple of the lads always turn up at meal times hungry (their mums work shifts) so im keeping it open and enjoying the buzz of it all.. sometimes its great to have a mad house, id just like a tidy one...

So much is happening for my fella, hes still engrossed in working, we are splitting it down the middle when hes working i leave him alone or help out (we have been working together this week), but on our nights off the computers are off and we'll end up just having a cuddle listening to music and talk, it seems to be working now, i wrote a blog when he anoyed me and he read it ! oops since then the laptop goes off when its our time.. we get our time together and really appreciate it when we do, but the work still gets done, i dont think people realise what has to be done with a website, you never catch up, as fast as you think you are something else needs doing, he forgot me last week completely i came home for the kids prepare the meals and get ready for belly dancing he was due home at 5.30 i get picked up at 6 by stelli so 6 comes and goes half past and about 6.45 he walks in... i couldnt get angry, ive learnt that he doesnt mean it it simply gets engrossed and forgets, i made it to the class thankfully, just broke out in a sweat before id got there..lol

I was talking to my aunt sunday and shes offered to let me ride her horse down the beach, hes beautiful and its what i wanted to do for my 40th in may, we were going on holiday to do it, but sadly i cant get away the dates i wanted so im spending my birthday here with the people i love (my family) and having a holiday afterwards, we never got one last year, the whole year was just a constant slog of work, so hopefully this year we will get some time out, weve got tents to take the kids camping, so many nights sleeping at the beach and woods instore, im really excited weve found the perfect place and are roughing it for as few days.........my kind of weekend..

Anyway the house is falling silent the kids are off one by one, so its time for mum to clean up now before i can go to work......... its tuesday, its windy but at least that sun is shining day...

Have a great day everyone...

Dancing tonight yipeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

Dancing in the rain

Have you ever had experiences through your life when you know no matter how old you get or what happens ,you know that moment will stay with you?

I woke early, the first thing i do is look out of the bedroom window at the sky and smile, there's days when the clouds are looming but there's also days that the weather can heighten experiences and can bring surprises... this morning was definitely a feel good one..

I was choked when they took me off Sorrel (the chestnut horse) i loved riding him and was a bit sick that i could only now sit and watch him , i was moved horses as Sarah said i was progressing well she wanted to see if i could cope and handle shadow (the white horse) it was done for the right reasons and supposed to be a new challenge, but i didn't feel the same when i rode her, shes more powerful totally unpredictable and loves to lead..oops my fella says I was given a horse that's like me.....oops again , i lost some of that feeling i have when i ride and felt sad when i watched Sorrel and his new rider..

Today we pulled up and the whole paddock was full of jumps ! its not a problem for those of you that are used to this, or been riding for years, but to me after just a few months into the class it was a bit nerve racking, my first words when i got out of the car were ... oh shit ! lol

Ive never seen so many jumps in there, i have to lead the class now too and have no sense of direction at all...lol

The girls all laugh Sarah asks if i have my confident knickers on today ..no (not the best day for a G string) they must all be getting to know me pretty well as they just giggle and take no notice of me...

I had the best lesson, every week im learning something new and getting to know Shadow who is definitely free spirited .. she knows she can do these jumps with her eyes closed so decides shes going to lead again... this time i didn't let her, i did so well ...kept her under control, but also gave her enough freedom to work with me, and my god didn't she..........

Every moan Ive had about that horse being too fast I'm taking back, she will make me a better rider, Sorrels easy to ride, but she definitely isnt ! so i was copping out ...lol

We were jumping the whole lesson it was brilliant, the rain started halfway through and i was then on the doubles i had one thing in my head taking those jumps (you're gonna giggle at this)... I honestly couldnt think of a better feeling than that moment, my face was soaked the wind was blowing my hair everywhere yet i felt so good and felt like i was flying.......

It wasn't Sorrel that used to make me feel like that ... it was me.... the girls there are brilliant and support us to the hilt, i got a huge compliment from Nikita when we finished the lesson, she said that not many people can handle shadow properly but i was one who can .................. i sat there on that horse feeling about 13 with my mouth wide open....lol I was actually proud of what id done (it had to be the week my fella didn't come too) lol

Coming home we were giggling about how me and Lauren feel in our time out at the stables together, we go home so excited on a high for the rest of the day and really get taken the mickey out of, but no words can say how it feels or how i felt today, nothing else i have done even touches it (well ok then perhaps one other thing).... lol ....It was exilerating...

I don't want to be put back on the chestnut horse anymore, i want to ride the white horse and feel how i did today... soaked through to the skin by the rain ...but glowing with happiness inside out..

I need to get that G string out more often........lol

Growing wild

Good morning the suns shining again..lol

I had to giggle last night , Laurens like me and loves wild flowers so i came up with the idea of getting one of everything she likes and pressing them into a book along with a happy thought, so last night she comes home with a snowdrop...oops ive asked her never to pick those, they are my all time favourite flower and symbolize alot to me, its a flower that gave me hope (ill explain that later lol) but she came home from school with one, they aren't found everywhere, they are at my riding school and a wood i go when i need to sit back and restock, but not anywhere locally here, they are more wild flowers not what normal people have growing in their gardens...

So last night in she comes so pleased she got my flower, and about ten mins later was followed by a lady who's garden she had been into picking the flowers from.............oops lol

I felt awful but had to stop myself from laughing, i always hoped my kids would turn out resourceful but not to that extent, she had told the lady the flower or for me as i needed happy thoughts, so the lady came to ask... She was fine and said it was a thoughtful reason and laurens promised not to go digging up anyone's gardens anymore, the flowers do indeed grow wild in her back garden , shes elderly and doesn't do anything to it ... i bet its beautiful..

I have all sorts of plans this end for my garden, i want to create a place that's wild but naturally scented, somewhere i can sit through the summer and feel like im somewhere else, so im planting jasmine, grape vines and all sorts of lovelies, not forgetting the lambs tongue !! lol you don't need green fingers for that, just one hell of an imagination when you pick it..............hehe

I must be feeling better, now you all know why i cant wait for spring.. and im taking a keen interest in gardening..

Im working from home today as im sorting out the underwear section and its not good to drool in public.............lol Its belly and salsa dancing tonight so im gonna grab a bath later, prepare everyones meals and get the house all tidy ready for the kids to wreck when ive gone out..

My dad keeps coming back every week and ive resorted to blackmail as i cant miss the classes, so i lay out little prizes for him to give out when they are good and just tidy everything up when i get home, ive had a good night, the kids are happy and grandad now knows why ive got a white streak through my fringe now.. hehe

Has anyone been listening to the marmite song? its by David Jordan 'sun goes down' its one of those you either love or hate.............I totally love it and constantly play it on my headset, he reminds me a bit of prince in the way he moves and paints his nails but i cant get it out of my head, if ever theres a song of the year for me its gotta be that one...... i havent felt like dancing til the sun goes down for a while but those feelings are coming back .... ive put in the youtube below , i dont know why but it just reminds me of chant the woods and finding that spiritual fun loving side and dancing.......

Have a great day everyone xxx

Thoughts that count

We went out Friday to meet up with friends after work had a swim, a meal and spent the evening having a great time, everyone was there so it was a real giggle, i look so forward to weekends now, but still cant wait for spring..lol

My sister Denise and Jade also came to see me again with Lacey , it seems to be happening every week now, i don't live out of my family's pocket but really appreciate when we do meet up, i gave her a huge hug, that i have been meaning to do for ages...

So its been a really good weekend, a little windy admittedly, so we couldn't sadly ride Saturday, but we made up for it and had a really nice couple of days..

I did my friends hair Saturday instead of riding which took me 3 hours bless, shes been feeling a bit low so i decided id give her a makeover.. i dyed her hair & restyled it, had some fun with different colour make up, gave her eyelash and eyebrow tints , which was great fun for me although id only left myself about 5 mins to get everything prepared for the evening, and i had made such a mess ..lol but she looked like a new pin , i got such a good feeling knowing id done something to make her feel better, she looked great ...

Dayle came up again Saturday night, he is really coming out of his shell, we had some gifts in our shed that we had brought but sadly never got to give, the kids unbeknown to me went in and opened one.... i was a bit upset (as they were gifts )but kids being kids they just wanted to play it, me and my fella both looked at each other but my fella smiled and cleared the table to play.. hes definitely not very sentimental is he............lol

We sat up til 3am Sunday morning playing games, all the kids were still up and so excited as its the latest they have ever been allowed up, but the night was totally brilliant and my first taste at my family working as one... Dayle has already brought something to us, i love him to bits, hes already trying to sort my hair out and chop it off , so I'm enjoying being rebellious by telling him i want to be a rock babe with hair that looks like its been dragged through a hedge, my fella would hit the roof if i chopped it off ...lol Im just so pleased hes come into our life, i look forward to Saturdays now as much as my fella does, the kids love him and thankfully he likes being the oldest brother....

I woke up mothers day to a bomb site for a house... but in my kids wonderful eyes... mothers day was my special day, so mum will clean it all and just be happier all day with it............. I love their logic and couldn't help but smile, innocence is so wonderful sometimes...

The biggest smile ive had for some time came from callum, he had collected little flowers for me mothers day and sprayed them with my favourite bottle of perfume (thats now empty! hehe) he even made a little box for them.. how sweet was that, but guess where he hid it ?

Under the toilet................................hehehe

I sat in the bath listening to the radio and i could see this little pink box squished under , i was really praying it wasn't a cake ! ....

So I'm now having to shove petals down my bra to smell nice, but at least the thought was definitely there.......bless
