Just checking in.

@Teej @CheerBear

thinking of you both

Just read your post here and on Carer's @Faith-and-Hope So sorry that happened to you while you were away - would certainly have added to the stress you would have been under as well as the continuing care you need to have your hair back to something you can live with over time. It is no small thing Hon - it is just one more thing on top of everything else that you had no control over and that can be so deflating - so whilst you say it is not a big thing in the wider scheme of things I believe it is because it is something important to you. Often it is such things that can break us because they are a reflection on wider things in our lives so let yourself cry over it, to be angry about it and then to move forward when you can.

I have cried until I have ugly swollen red eyes but am ok. I have so many lovely heartfelt feels from the responses here. @Zoe7 , @Snowie , @Faith-and-Hope . I had a very eventful afternoon which I may write about later like tomorrow. It included me doing what I tell everyone else to do but never do myself and I asked for help from not one but two people. I’m exhausted for now and heading to bed but wanted to thank you for your messages.

@Zoe7 I heard your team gave my team a thumping :face_with_rolling_eyes:😘

@Faith-and-Hope I did read your hair story and am so sorry you’ve had to experience it. 😬🤯

@Snowie I hope you are doing ok. I’m not sure if you are still away. 💜🤗

night everyone 💜🤗😘

Way to go @Teej Hope you are proud of yourself for asking for that help. Yes we did have a good win against your team today - very unexpected from my side. Sleep well Teej

Morning everyone .... ☕️💕

@Teej well done you asking for help ✅ 💃 🌐 🎶 (happy dance) 🎉❣️

@Zoe7 🦋💕 .... the amount of lightening my hairdresser was able to achieve has taken the worst off my hair situation, and the regrowth is already showing again, but she will keep splashing it with ashy toners (salon ones last twice as long as off-shelf) to look respectable enough. My cry is over. It was a sucky thing to do, and has far-reaching repercussions, but I am not prepared to give that hairdresser any more room in my life than they have already taken, so I am stepping over them with as much dignity as I can manage, and leaving them in my past. I think finally writing it here helped to cap it for me ...., thank you for sitting in it with me. For anyone who didn’t know that I am trying to grow my hair out, I think it looks okay. I couldn’t accept it the way it was before the “correction” of what had been done. I can now.

@CheerBear .... more hugs coming your way.... 💕💕💕

Hi @Snowie 👋❄️

Good morning all here @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Teej @Snowie @Appleblossom @Former-Member @CheerBear

Sending big hopes that today is a better day for all, that you find strength in all the support here to get through your challenges. Take care all.

I am glad your hair is much easier to deal with now @Faith-and-Hope It will take time to get back to what you want it to be but knowing it is a little better for you now is a good thing. As I have said to you before - it is no small thing but as usual you are approaching it with your usual dignity and grace. You always see the glass half full and that is something we all here love and respect about you. It in no way changes what was done but can give you some confidence to move forward. You are amazing Hon

@eth Goodmorning to you also

Well done @Teej for asking for help. It is so hard to do sometimes. You should be proud of yourself. Got home from holiday last night.

Morning @eth @Faith-and-Hope @Zoe7 @Appleblossom @CheerBear and anyone else passing through here.

I hope you all have some goodness in your days.

@Snowie

Good morning @eth

not a good day. Hope you are ok.
