I used to change colour every second month, but I can no longer afford to go to the hairdresser more than once a year and even packet dyes (need 2 when it is shoulder length) are quite expensive. <BR/><BR/>Now in saying that about the expense, coles has a tonne of them marked right down at the moment to clear them off the shelves before they go out of date, but i just can't bring myself to buy them after listening to my cellular and neurophysiology lecture about what they do to you health wise. <BR/><BR/>Might have to look into the more natural dyes and see if they are any better.<BR/><BR/>As for FUN, i have noticed that after martyring for so long, i have somewhat forgotten how to have fun without putting effort into enjoying it. BUT when i do have fun, I know about it later because my face actually hurts from smiling and my stomach hurts from laughing. Which is a good indication that i don't do either of those activities anywhere near as much as I should.<BR/><BR/>Oh well at least I have one fun activity, I can go pull splinters and make DBF howl and that is a very good form of exercise as well as FUN. Pity it is now very limited as to WHEN it can happen because he is working long hours and too tired most days, so pretty much only every second weekend when the kids are at their fathers house.<BR/><BR/>Might have to try and convince the kids that walking is fun. They love going to the library so I am going to try and convince them to walk there and back (oh that is NOT GOING TO BE FUN WITH DS until he gets used to it). Thankfully a new book to read is a fantastic form of bribery with my two, so we may start getting some more family orientated exercise soon.<BR/><BR/>Hugs!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7073167998075190001.post-52490539229232488162007-10-13T10:46:00.000+09:302007-10-13T10:46:00.000+09:30Kelley - I would LOVE you to come over.

Always being "productive" is the fastest way to unproductivity isn't it.<BR/><BR/>Thanks everyone for your comments.
