Was today national haircut day?? If so ~ why did no one tell me......

For some reason ~ totally unknown to me ~ I think that the whole of the South coast decided to be in the Barbers and hairdressers today ~ as when I took Dan this morning ~ we stood in the barbers for at least an hour ~ waiting for Dans turn ........it was packed ~
We then went along to the local Supercuts hairdressers ~ who are very reasonably priced (as Lauren only needed a trim...) ~ but work on a first come ~ first served basis.~no appointments needed........WELL ~ yet again it was totally and utterly packed ~ would you believe that we waited at least an hour and a half for Laurens turn !! Was today national haircut day??? because no one told me ha ha ha !!!

I cannot believe that I spent about 3 hours of my day sat in hair cutting establishments........it was soooooooo boring ~ I would have rather watched paint dry!!!!!!!!!! Anyway ~ at least that is over and done with for at least another 6 weeks or so!!

Here are my little stars with their new haircuts ~ Laurens doesn't look that different ~ as she only had the ends taken off and the front cut in to her face!

My little Danny Boy ~ sporting his new shorter cut!! He is looking a bit tired here ~ he had a late night last night ~ he isn't good with late nights ha ha ha !! (a bit like his mother!!)

All snipped and looking alot smarter ~ my little stars!!

Well ~ after the mammoth hair cutting saga ~ we also had to quickly whiz around the town and get a few bits ~ Lauren has been invited to a tea party next week ~ for one of her school friends birthdays ~ so we had to get a present, card and wrapping paper. Then we had to get a new kettle ~ as the old one finally went to kettle heaven today.......it was very old, and had a very good life.........but went bang this morning and blew the fuse box!!! I am now the proud owner of a lovely new glass kettle ~ with a white flower design down the side ~ which illuminates when it boils....all very high tech (ha ha ~ my old kettle was soooooo old ~ I think it was on the ark ha ha !!).

In my last post ~ I mentioned about the milk bottles being all ready for the milkman ~ and Christy over at Cakerwakers asked about this........well, it is quite simple really ~ the milkman comes (currently 2 times a week) ~ at about 5 am and leaves 4 pints of milk on the doorstep, he then collects the empty bottles and takes them away ~ it is great ~ fresh milk straight from the local farm ~ sitting on my doorstep when I open the door ~ I love it!!! The amount of milk that my 2 kids go through ~ it is so much easier ~ as I would forever be at the shops buying it!! Not sure if my blog friends in the US and OZ etc have the same thing ~ you will have to let me know!!

We have had a warning of colder weather here over the next few days ~ possibly snow ~ freezing temperatures and icy driving conditions ~ oh joy!! Just when we were having some nicer warmer weather and I had put the gloves and scarfs back in the winter drawer ~ back comes the cold.......it has been a funny old few months here in the UK where the weather is concerned ~ I think that is why we have all been ill ~ with being cold one week ~ then warm the next.......and then cold yet again!! Roll on summer!!!!!! (all one day of it ha ha !!!!).

Well, best be off ~ am watching the film Troy on TV ~ oh Brad (Pitt) ~ you are looking mighty fine with your flowing locks and ripling muscles..........swoon...........not too sure about the skirt though!!!!!!! (tee hee!!) XXXXX
