Not all the colours of the rainbow

I have hair! It looks awesome. Currently it's straight, but that's only going to last until I have a shower at the gym tomorrow morning. The colour is going to last a lot longer and it's great. Very different and contrasting. I haven't told my mother what colour the streaks are and I think she's dreading something terrible which she'd have to make me fix before my brother gets married. Not purple, alas, because my hairdresser couldn't find a royal purple that would fade well. But she is a fantastic hairdresser and I am really happy with the results.

Am down to eight and a half squares of black, so hopefully my brother's will turn up soon. They have set a date now - 1 February 2008 (and I am vaguely disturbed that I wanted to bold that for a deadline as per the style guide at work). But that means I have two and a half months to stitch and frame a sampler. Not that it looks remotely hard, but I'd've rathered a bit more time.

The team secretary is away again all this week, but is joining us for our team lunch tomorrow. I should be nicely busy for the rest of the week.

tamarillow's new couch arrives on Saturday and so the Sallies are coming tomorrow to pick up the old lounge sweet, a box of cups and miscellany, possibly the old stereo and about a dozen bags of old clothing, since clearly this necessitated a wardrobe clear out. I have space in my drawers and wardrobe now. It's quite a novelty. Now I need to buy clothes - or will, once I've lost a bit more weight, because I have enough things to go on with, more or less.
