I've got 7 tatts, have put 'em on further down this thread. I cut off about 1 1/2 - 2 inches to get rid of all the dead ends and splits. Now i'm ready to begin growing in earnest. Grin

My target length is butt length. Just regretting i've made such a hash of it, it needs tidying up but i aint cutting any more. It's healthy, it can wait 3 months. Then i'll let a professional do it.....argh!

Your color is nice (it's wet too, I know) You should post a dry picture so we can see your dry color too. Congrats on getting up the courage to trim. I'm still fighting with myself to take even a little off. Meg

Well, we got 8 inches of snow last Sunday 12 March. This is the view from my 'office' window at home.
The following day the estate agent comes out and we're now For Sale.
The snow has now gone and it's been the warmest day of the year, such a contrast. On Friday the Builder in Bulgaria sent us the plans for our new build, he is starting to build it tomorrow in our Vineyard/Orchard in Izvorishte.
with the plans for it

March 28th we fly down to London to pick up our Long stay Bulgarian visas. Ooooooooooooooh, it's getting so exiting.
I've now got over 10 pairs of hairsticks and i've just run raw coconut oil through my hair (after making a Thai Curry with the solid stuff). Gorrrrrrrrrrrrrgeous. Life is good. Grin

I can't even imagine all the details that need to be dealt with.

Our new lurve mobile will tow us and an RV (hopefully) across Europe, hoping to hit the Bulgarian borders around 7th June.

I am finally back online in Bulgaria. We arrived July 1st and have got a much bigger family. 2 cats 2 dogs 7 ducks and 6 chickens. We've also got 9 Turkish builders on site 7 days a week for the last month. (see website for new build, i think we're on page 6 now).

Well my darling husband took my hairlength photo yesterday and i'm sure my hair is GETTING SHORTER. Undecided

i'm totally gutted AND it looks as if i'm putting on weight too judging from my back. It's hard to do my workouts in front of 9 guys so i haven't been doing them and boy is it showing.
On top of that my hair has been damaged by the 100 degree sunshine this summer (below 45 today) which means i've got to chop at least 2 inches by the looks of it.
Taken in March/May of this year and yesterday...........

I could cry.
I kept my hair up in a pony tail (hairsticks kept catching on the caravan awning, caravan door, van door) thinking this would be enough to protect it. Obviously not. To make matters worse i haven't the language skills to go to a hair dresser and ask for just a trim and my husband always a) cuts too much off AND b) cuts it at an angle.
The only good news is i've found a henna supplier on ebay who posts to Bulgaria.
Everything else in my life (apart from the sudden cold snap) is really good.
Sorry, just had to moan to people who understand how it is to want to have long healthy hair. Cry

Awwww thanks guys. Actually, i did chop off 3 inches at the weekend and it feels so much nicer to touch now it's not like straw so i guess what i lost on the swings i've gained on the roundabouts. I'll grab a photo of it tomorrow. I've never bothered measuring but i'm going to tomorrow and start putting entries into the measurement section. I have no idea how short my hair is now.
Thanks for putting it into perspective for me.XXX Wink
