ace thread that mlic cheers 
re soya - this article is worth a read.
it's worth remembering there's a lot of money tied up in the dairy industry and it benefits from any attempts to make milk substitutes look 'bad' and thereby making milk look benign by comparison. I'm not by any means a soapboxy type of person but just think it's worth pointing this out, as money often gets in the way of the truth with stuff like this which makes it so much harder to make the right choices for our/our children's health. as chul said everything (including dairy imo) leads to something.
i read something recently by a top hairdresser who said that mousse is still one of the best hair products memph
sounds like a good group of women you've found despite their mousse-hate. why do you think you had a funny feeling about your meal thingy?
mlic are you going to ask dh what his problem was?
thanks to all of those who sympathised about my poor hair. will update my spreadsheet with the details of those who snorted...
my hair wasn't cut, it was just destroyed for want of a better word. she just hacked with a comb til the brush then the huge knot had fallen out gone. i'm not sure if there was a better technique but i wasn't really in a position to demand it.
i haven't dared properly look but i don't think it will really notice as no hair came out at the roots. i look like a whole new person with the parting on the other side - tis weird.
