Monday Musings

Oh look, it's Ireland...

Well hello there! Sorry it's been a little while since my last post, I've been up, down and roundabout the place and suffered some dodgy internet! Anyway, I decided I would start a new post each Monday, Monday Musings. Basically, it will just be some general chit-chat about the weekend, this coming week and general things like that.

So much for the best summer in six years, I was pretty disappointed, but hey? Your never know, things are starting to look up here in the sunny south east. The sky is a fluffy white mess, but luckily there is some sun coming through.

Everyone been keeping an eye on the Euro's? The Euro's were put on here and at first I pretty much hadn't a hope of being allowed change the channel so I watched them, and to be honest, I am actually getting hooked (shocking, I know). I'm all set for tonight's Ireland v Italy match later. Hopefully it will bring a bit of luck for the lads, they deserve it! COYBIG! (And yes, it took me until last Thursday to figure out what it meant, so for those who are like me: Come On You Boys In Green!)

I saw those brightly coloured wigs on Xpose the other day. Hmmm I'd love to try them to give me an idea of what the styles would look like on but I doubt you would see me going out in them to be honest! I'm hoping to chalk my currently ombré hair like Lauren Conrad's hair for SS11. I love the idea of chalking as you don't have all the hassle of dye and the look washes out after a few days if you don't like it anyway. Will report back!
