Recipe of the week

smithy's roasted beetroot: low-fat, dairy-free, gluten-free, nut-free and generally nutritious and virtuous. This one-dish wonder is delicious and uses up some seasonal beets. What's not to like?

Which is worse - vomity hair or a pony tail day in day out?

My 5-week-old son has decreed I must have one or the other.

ooh tough one

I went for the worst of both worlds for a long time (loose hair vomited in then tied up)

Yes! That's my current choice Mrs B. I look and smell fantastic.

Ooooh deffo tie it up, it has other advantages, no one can pull it out, including the roots, if it is tied up, and when you haven't had chance to wash it for 2 weeks days, and it starts getting itchy, it won't itch as much tied up

Get used to a pony tail now, before he starts grabbing at it unexpectedly. Also give up on dangly earrings, necklaces, scarves.... some very painful memories there grin

do NOT cut it off.

argh. nothing worse than a 'sensible' hair cut.

think of the vom as a fantastically expensive hair mask from harrods - made from regurgitated lactic acid-enzyme-complexes. dahling.

Another vote for a ponytail here. Definitely don't cut it off - short hair needs washing more often, long hair can just be tied back wink

DS (8wks) holds onto my hair while feeding if it's loose so I've had ponytail/bun for most of the last two months. Hey ho...

there is something worse than 'sensible' hair - hair in a ponytail.

anyway once you have kids you are too haggard to carry off long hair.

I disagree- I think ponytails are fine-or hair pinned up. Short sensible hair-old ladyish and helmet head spring to mind!

Today I have gone for a sort of deliberately scruffy bun sort of thing. It would probably be more effective if I was working with tumbling pre-raphelite locks, but I'm afraid I'm stuck with thin, fine, straight, (crispy, crunchy, whiffy) hair.

I wipe food/other stuff out of mine and my kids hair with babywipes
