ok - so I'm a bit younger than you - I just feel older! (yes I had a good feel and there's lots of wobble!)

I have gone blonde to hide the white hairs (they started out grey - but then decided to skip that and come straight out white) apparently it makes me look years younger (ttee heee) but I was a platinum blonde with natural ringlets as a child so perhaps that's whay blonde suites me (and I can act the dumb blonde when necessary!! :lol: )

Both Chris and Sarah have dark brown eyes (I have grey/blue/green - depending on mood and what I'm weraring).. To go with their brown eyes they have mid brown (Chris) hair - he has bleached the tips once - but on the whole keeps hit at a no 3 all over (too short I think !! Makes him look very militarial) Sarah has magnificent brown hair with mixes of blondes and auburn - she did have it down to her bra line but we both had it chopped off back in July - she has tried bleaching it - we spent HOURS (yes I MEAN HOURS) trying to lift the colur tna! She has put all sort of colours into her hair in the past and they all look great, but she is now au naturel and wants to keep it that way - will try to insert a photo of the pair of them at some point!

My hair is so porus now it just bleaches out to blonde in 45 mins!

And Chris is now taller than she is.

and yes, she does look just like you at the same age ! ( I don't think I dare put pics on mine on here - they would probably sue me for " breach of privacy" ...pfff )

2 inches taller and 2 stones lighter.

Funnily enough if you take each feature separately she looks nothing like me, eyes nose and mouth are all different, it is the overall look.

At primary school (age 5) she had to take in a picture of a parent as a child and under the one of me was written "no prizes for guessing this one"

Chris is the image of his Dad.

James is actually the one who looks most like me, except for the beard of course.

Anyhow - Vonny - hope your head is less painful now and that your car isn't too damaged - and a lesson from me - don't ever lend your offspring your car just after they have passed their test..... unless you want it back in pieces! :cry:
I am OK now - the migraines were the shock of it all I think. Car is not THAT bad considering but will be going to the garage for bodywork repairs next week. The woman who hit me has admiited it's her fault so hopefully the insurance will sort it all out.

glad to hear you are feeling ok - put a chinagraph pencil near the dent and write "OUCH" - it will amuse other drivers and make you feel better (you could also put "not done by me!")

Actually, to be serious, I have been hit from behind a few times at lights or junctions and it has been blokes every time.

Well I can 100% say it was not my fault - this woman looked VERY old - she was driving a spanking new car as well :roll: Not a lot of damage to her car - but isn't that just typical? She pulls out into me and my car comes off worse :twisted:

Btw - your daughter is the spitting image of you Angel :shock:

You youngsters should start worrying when step-daughter (in her 40's) shaves one side of her head, and has hair extensions on the other side. On the rare occasions we are to see her, her father says "I wonder what she will be dressed up as this time"

Well thank you.

I have had some lovely flowers from my parents, and I am going out to lunch with my sister, so should be a good day.

Enjoy! xx




( it's my son's birthday tomorrow..... he'll be 14 ! You,Mary,always were that bit older than me! )

P.S. All these "edits" are me struggling with the software and trying to include writing that's like you ( bold) coupled with Twos Green...although the green is a bit military on this forum whereas twos green was more of a bottle green.
