'Long time coming'?????

The title of my post this morning, 'Long time coming', relates to a topic I didn't end up mentioning so I thought I had best pop back on!

So what am I talking about?? (a) A haircut, (b) a nail appointment, (c) shopping for clothes, (d) all of the above. The answer is (d) thanks to my sweet husband! All this is happening on Friday and, while I don't think we can at all afford it, he is insisting that I go ahead with the appointments he made (how much sweeter is it that he made them?!) because "we can't afford not to". I think he meant that I have been a bit depressed about my appearance lately so if we don't do something about it the mood around the house won't be the best! Having my nails attended to is such a luxury (even if I do get them done every 2-4 weeks anyway), shopping for clothes is so much fun, despite being a little scary (after having a baby and still being insecure about all the 'excess' things going on), but getting a haircut...my goodness, this is a long time coming for sure! I haven't had anything done to my hair since I was 6 weeks pregnant with Gabriel! I used to get a cut every 6-8 weeks and a colour every second appointment made. The last appointment I had saw my hair take on an orange tinge (which required 3 fix-up appointments!) and my hairdresser and I were in aggreement that I should not colour while pregnant...nothing was said about getting it cut (obviously!) but I've just been trying to avoid spending the money when the colour growing out wouldn't be making me feel like a classy lady anyway. ha ha. I will have to pop on with an 'after' shot over the weekend!
