Thoughts Written Down

1. I am in the process of dying my hair. It's a golden blonde. I haven't done this since I was around 18-20. In those years - the late 90's - I was doing it the bad way - Sun in spray and bottles of it. Now I use a decent home kit every few weeks. I just felt like a change.
2. Haircut booked for 10.15 Tuesday, I am writing it here since I don't have a calendar! Yes, I can be that disorganised. I need more layers as my hair is far too thick. Need it lighter for summer.
3. Jolly good weather here in blighty still. Far too good. Maybe the official summer will be worthy of something more than sitting indoors all August.
4. Speaking of August, our holiday feels like it is beginning to come round quicker now. Only 2 months to go until we take a caravan break in Minehead for the week. 
5. Also, it's hard to believe that this time last year I was only 10 weeks from getting married. I want to do something nice for our anniversary. Luckily, I never thought of it at the time, but having a wedding in August means that people will always be available in the school holidays should we want a little private getaway to celebrate by ourselves.
6. I have taken a step forward to improving my life. Today I sent off all the forms and documents to get my provisional driving license up to date. Money had been putting me off but since I am another debt down, I am now £100 a month better off and I will use it constructively. 
7. Since I am allowing 3 weeks for my provisional license to come through, that means I am allowing myself a £60 clothing allowance out of it this month and will take to the roads as soon as my license is here. 
8. The idea of learning to drive is sort of exciting.
9. But it also scares me stupid.  I am a big wuss!
10. One of our friends is having a bad year. First his house caught fire. Now his brand spanking new 3d tv has been broken by a tantruming toddler. Whoops! They only moved back in last month after living at his in laws for 3 months while thier home was made livable again.
