But of background.
Three little ones aged 6 and under. Partner works away. No other weekend childcare and I currently work in the week.
Haven't had any time, nights out, exercise opportunities or even one single solitary minute without the children in 15 weeks since I last visited the hairdresser.
Booked an appointment a couple of months ago for today for full colour and a cut and was advised as it would be 15 weeks since I last went, I'd need to update my skin patch test. I've been going to this hairdresser for over 6 years so they know me well and I've never had a reaction to anything before.
Anyway, since booking the appointment, things have been mad. One of my daughters has had two surgical procedures; I've been in hospital myself; I've handed in my notice at work and got a new job; and my baby has been in a&e to name but a few things. this is all alongside my partner being away and having no other childcare.
Anyway, they phoned last night to say I couldn't have my colour today as I'd forgotten to come in for my patch test. I burst into tears as I've had the last few weeks from hell and was desperate to have a bit of time for me. I asked if I could find down and get one but they said they shut jn 5 mins and it wouldn't make any difference as it needed to be on for 48 hours.
I phoned oh who was traveling home and he picked me one up which I've had on since 6pm last night but they told him there is no way they'll do a colour anyway.
I've since had today, an email and a text reminder about my appointment for later today, both of which had a reminder about needing a patch test which seems stupid if you need 48 hours.
I know it's my fault for not remembering but I just don't get why when I've been there for years, they'll be doing the same colour I've always had and I'll have had the patch on for almost 24 hours why it's still just a flat no. I also don't get why thrt left it until I couldnt possily remedy the situation to call but then really rub it in by sending me more messages today!
I'm just totally fed up as I've been waiting for this for so long and it'll be months again before I can organise childcare again.
Aibu to be so disappointed and to be crying over my sodding badger stripy grey hair which I'll be stuck with for months now.
