OMG!
The weekly Netto mag\advert thingy has just come through the door!
I always look forward to this and reading of the incredible money saving offers therein.

What weekly non-event has you moistening with excitement?

The freebie rag
with all the catalogue / brochures of idiotically priced bargain offers. I always think 'Wow, 2 kilos of coffee for only thruppence ha'penny and 100 bog rolls for a fiver', find they've run out by the time I get there and come away with a box of wine costing £12.99.

I totally got a coupon booklet from the pet place so I get pretty good discounts like $5 off nail clipping for my dog, which is $10 usually
and $10 off a full groom which is around $30
this has me excited
also, I think I may be able to access my book from my old hard drive and if I can I'm going to squeal with ridiculous happiness

I just got back from a 3 day course with only my phone to access t'internet
I'd barely got firefox open for some proper big screen big keyboard browsing and posting when it powered down. Switched it back on and BANG went the power supply. :(

I'll get it replaced tomorrow but I have no idea how I'm going to fill my evening...

edit: I'm moist with sweat from mucking about under the desk - I unscrewed the power supply but looked at all the wires and decided to leave it to the professionals. Also discovered the Underdesk really needs a vacuum.

I bought some e-books a couple weeks ago.
They were fab, don't get me wrong, but apparently I wasn't looking when I went buy happy because one of them isn't being released until 2012. 2012. Fuck sake, I'm never going to remember I bought that.

I like to spend a bit of time in Oxfam Books in Headingley. Some bargains to be had in there.

My weekly transforation into a reptile
Because reptiles have colder blood than mammals, this is causing the humidity to condense on my skin, hence I'm moistening.

If you've seen my hair recently, you'll see why I need the latter.

sea water, sun and mistreatment. On the other hand it is two shades lighter

Nice nice nice on the lighter!
Mine is quite hilarious. The lovely brown didn't last long, and it's quite odd at the moment.

This is it as soon as it was done:

And I'm going dark again.
Any ideas on styles I should do?
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 14 Jul 2010, 20:50, Reply)

I reckon you should go longer
so a style that will grow out easily (layers,) plus definitely go for the fringe, it would look really pretty on you.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Jul 2010, 20:52, Reply)

Yeah, I want my curls back.
It used to be really curly :(

that's a party ring in my mouth, dirtyminds
( Lampito rise with the moon, go to bed with the sun, Wed 14 Jul 2010, 20:55, Reply)

those curls are awesome
can you do a fringe with really curly hair or would it require too much straightening on a daily basis? Because it would definitely suit you
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 14 Jul 2010, 20:57, Reply)

I don't straighten my hair
I'll try and find a picture of me from my curly days with a fringe. I know they exist.
