Grey hair is especially noticeable when you pull them out (of your dark hair) and they grow back all short and spiky.
Star - There is no set time for grey hair to appear. I have a friend who went completely grey by the age of 25 and I know people into their 60s with only a handful of grey hairs. Unfortunately it is not something that can be guessed at. Aubergenie is absolutely right. My friend was very blonde and had loads of grey, the only person who could see it was her. I have a few greys, my all seemed to pop up together before I was 30. I suddenly noticed loads in the hair dressers. My hair looked all sparkly.
Ronshar - I suspect that my two haven't been informed of 'the rules'. M is an excellent whirlwind of a girl and much messier & destructive than DS was. And DS is the biggest tell tale I have ever met. DS does have a terrible temper on him though and still regularly cries with frustration over silly things (like not being able to fix the Lego he was playing with).
I am having real trouble keeping up. I think I might have to give up on the 'no internet during the day' resolution. One day about 3.5 million left to maintain.
Ummm....
Aubergenie - So glad S has been better today. It is a horrible feeling, being torn by the need to go to work and your need to stay with your unhappy child. Hope he's ok from now on.
Hegdepig - We have a Wii controller with no batteries in so M can 'join in' with DS when he plays on the Wii. She stands right in front of the telly waving the controller around. She is utterly convinced she is playing too.
Oh yes, congratulations Heather!
Star - Hair colour. I have had pretty much every hair colour known to man and I actually find blonde the hardest colour to pull off. Blonde made me look very round faced even though I wasn't at the time and washed me out more than black ever did. A good softer black to go for is a red/black as it isn't as harsh and it fades to a warm red colour. From a deep honey blonde to black might be a little frightening for a hair-colouring novice! You could add some caramel/chocolate slices to your hair which would add depth and movement to your hair. One colour can be a bit flat on long straight hair. You can use colour to give the impression of body and texture when you have fine hair. Whatever you do we need photos! I really want to get my hair coloured but it is a weight loss treat so will have to wait. I am going to go red with a green/turquoise slice through it. I have seen it in a mag and it looks fabulous!
Day one of diet has been very OK. I wasn't very prepared as we haven't been shopping for ages. I ate a super tiny dinner so was bloody starving at about 8 (and had a couple of Ryvitas with wholenut sugar-free peanut butter).
I am watching DIY SOS and it is very sad. The poor mum in the family has brain cancer.
