    Been using John Frieda for Blondes for years but can't get it here and have run out now so am using Timothei.  It's fine.

    Possum and I have haircuts booked on Friday.   Bit nervous as I only do it once a year and the last time was not good - butchered my fringe.  Possum has exceptionally thick hair so wants it thinning - keep telling her that celebrities pay to have hair added to make their own seem thick and lush and here she is wanting the mass reduced.   Both dead straight so a good cut essential.

    Fire yes - more women have problems with bad engineering support than big boobs which are fine with the right bra.

    Today's random piece of information:  timotei is Finnish for "timothy", so I suppose ads with sunny meadows would be about right.  Providing they checked the grass species first.   :)

    Obelixx, having had small boobs until the menopause, when they unaccountably decided to grow from D to G, I can say small is most definitely preferable - even when wearing the right underpinning...

    Well yes - easier to dress for a start but not a huge problem.

    Because I'm short, they make me look topheavy.  I've also gone up a dress size and a half over my top half, though my chest-below-boob measurement remains the same, and my shoulders are too narrow for shirts which otherwise fit.  But... this is not curmudgeonly... there's a pattern-cutting course starting soon which I hope to join, so I can make clothes which fit.

    Dove, maybe it rebranded as Timotei. The ads had the same wafty blonde and sunny meadows. As a teenager I was convinced by the virtues of washing my hair in the middle of a corn field with a jug and a white horse cavorting in the back ground. I assumed by hair was rubbish because I didn't have a horse.
    Most horsey women I know seem unconcerned about the amount of horse snot that ends up in their hair. The reality of horse ownership doesn't quite live up to the My Little Pony adolescent dream I think.
    If you can keep your head, while those around you are losing theirs, you may not have grasped the seriousness of the situation.

    It was Judith M Berrisford's 'A Pony in the Family' that fuelled my dreams  <3
