Went to hairdressers today. Have decided to put my essay on hold as my tutor said not to rush as i was looking tired and hand it in after xmas - how nice is that? Not been too great last 2 days and really need to rest and make sure I am well enough for 2moro night and of course xmas.
So as I said, been to hairdressers today, had my colour redone but only had 1/2 head highligths and had a semi permanet darker colour underneath for contrast. I really like it and it wasn't too expensive eitehr as was in the student hairdressers whihc I thought would be scummy but it's a normal salon just based on campus :-) Had this lovely guy Tom who put in some fab layers and bulked out my fringe a bit as last time it was the first time i'd has this sweepign fringe so it was a bit thin but this time i thought why not be a bit more dramatic. When Sarah was washing my hair she was talking about GHDs and i said that i'd heard you could curl with them so she offered to show me and then did my whole head in lovely curls, I am going out for a little drink later just to show it off!
I felt OK in there as the doors and windows were open so it wasn't too chemically, and i explained ot Tom about M.E. and said for things like hair appointments i needed to keep my blood sugar up. I've taken chocolate but he was really good and offering me bisuits, and drinks every 1/2 an hour! I'll def go back there, I am so pleased to have found somewhere that did my hair exactly as i imagined it.
Anyway, enough about that, but you know how important it is to find a good hairdresser. This was my treat from my Dad's bday money so i'm feelign a bit like a princess right now with all these curls and knowing it wasn't really my money - excellent!
I'll try and put a little picture up (dodgy side view!) and will put more on AYME as that's the only place i know that can store piccies.

I'm feeling a bit spaced out right now as it was a long time, but it's not tiredness just that i don't feel like i'm in touch with reality! I have been working so hard on this essay only to find it snowballed to 5,000 words (so i have to cut nearly half of it out) and then takign the decision to leave it for now and get ready for xmas, writing xmas cards, wrapping pressies etc. It's strange to get out of Uni mode and into excited for xmas you know?
Tim, Lucy and Emma are coming down 2moro to join Maz and I, Gay Daniel and his boyfriend (i really should stop calling him that but i can't help it), Ade and his girlfriend. We're off for cocktails (hence my excitement) before going onto a Thai. I am so looking forward to it which is why i'm taking it easy for the rest of the day and 2moro as i hardly ever get to go out as i always have to be careful about staying well for uni. Well, most of you who read this understand completely so i hardly need to explain.
I'm feeling quite good right now, staying happy still and feeling positive. It takes work and i haven't gone ann evangelical but i do feel clamer in myself.
OK, better go and sort out what needs to go home for xmas before i settle down to an hour of Harry Potter and the goblet of fire reading. Been rereading it as Sara, i think it was you, was sayign how much had bene cut out of film esp house elves and i couldn't remember it so realised it deserved a reread.
OK waffling now, loads of love to you all. Xmas cards are on their way slowly, not buying so many pressies this year as running out of money and cards as well. Need to buy more next week.
