No new pics yet-Im working on it!!! Ive spent the whole day running up and down stairs with heavy boxes at work,and I am BEAT! Did enjoy the journey home tho-I love travelling by train,esp being antisocial with headphones..Colds first album today
Its a classic. My computer keys are sticking so badly-swear they are full of pastel dust again...MUST remember not to blow dust on keypad...ooops. Am messing around with henna at the mo in attempt to bring life to short black boring hair. My beautiful lil dreads sadly did not survive my daughter puking on them last week
and so off they came. Hey,who needs hairdressers when you have a big pair of scissors?! Damned if Im gonna give up any of my cash to someone who doesnt know how I want to look and wants to make me look like some kinda trendslaving freak...rant over. Im going to start looking for new tattoo images,need some more ink...still have skin left to cover...
btw,found this on the UK Vegetarian society site-who could resist?!

poor dreads.. poor munchkin... I agree about hair"stylists" though. They have NO idea what they are doing. I just chopped my hair myself, and then go get them to make it even in the back.. Too bad I'm not a contortionist!
