I mean anyone with as rambling a hairstyle as mine, anyone as short of time and cash, anyone feeling as unduly accomplished with their pruning shears as me - anyone could have made the very same mistake...
Couldn't they?
Have given themselves a full Milly-Molly-Mandy haircut I mean.
In their middle years.
One minute I was peering happily into the bathroom mirror, snip, snip, humming softly, feeling pleased, thinking - crikey, I can't really focus so well up close any more... ah well, never mind, press on.... hum, hum, snip, snip -
and the next minute as I laid down the scissors - ta dah!! There she was in the mirror, peering back at me, a little older than I recall -
Oh no...
What! 
Hnnnnn!!
s*******t!!!
It has taken an eternity

It has taken an eternity
and a magnifying glass
to get it all,
nicely,
back
to normal....
Yet I have!!
Ok, I exaggerate a little,
but only, I regret to say,
a tad...

Hope you didn't bung up the sink with all the hair! LOL
Oh, what memories this post brings flooding back! I often used to have a go at cutting my own hair, but finally learned my lesson.
Never cut your fringe whilst it is wet.
I'm glad to see I'm not the only fan of Milly Molly Mandy - yet another thing we have in common.

Next time why not splash out and get yourself a pudding basin? As a template - it will last for years.
OMG, I was just thinking about giving my hair a new do and cutting a bit...thanks for the snap back to reality...I trained not for hair dressing...

Now, for credit crunch hair, for does take the biscuit.
Thank you all for your sane comments -
I'm hopeless both as a blogger and as a groomed individual. Real life gets in the way. Damn!
Shall come over and wish you each a Merry Christmas -
:-)))
Happy New Year you. Has your hair grown a bit by now?! Bet you are still jiggered working away. Hope it is all going well for you.
Right O Merry - we are now coming up to the end of January - are your ready to emerge from hibernation yet?? or are we to expect no post this month?? 8-(
Hope all's well with you and yours.
Hi MOB!
Hi Lady T!
Sorry not to have answered before, had a lot on...
Getting divorced basically, sorting everything out.
Snowed in here, all well, come and visit you both...
:-))
Oh Merry . . . I am sorry (but a bit envious too!!) butI can see that you have your hands full. Hope it not too worrying and stressful a time for you . .
Have courage and keep true to yourself regardless of any unkind 'words'.
Thinking of you .. and here's a Big HUG. x
I value that cyber-hug LT :-)))
Hugs back... Soon it'll all be over. Amicably, responsibly -- over.
Come that day, I shall politely, but firmly press you for that long-awaited coffee date.
Ahem, awaiting, patiently, as ever,
Merry X
When next I plan a trip to the south east - we will ... I love the costa coffee in the Whitgift Centre ..
Hello. Hope the hair's gone back to the way you want it a litte by now. Please come and write again - selfishly, I want to read you, having returned to more regular blogging both reading and writing... Livvy

Sandi
how did i miss this hilarious post?
Still thinking of you Merryw - even though we are now well into our 'BBQ summer'. xx
Well we'll soon be into Autumn - still thinking of you . . .
Don't ask how I got here! I tend to roam on and on through various blogs and then forget where I was going ( guess? Yep I'm a senior)
Not to worry, I am here now. I see you haven't posted on nigh on a year... so I hope all is going well with you ( your disentanglement etc) So I thought I would comment and cheer you on, because I have enjoyed your humour and don't want to see you waste it.
Cheers to you.
Love Granny

I am in with Granny on the web - metaphorically speaking... ahem...
