Blondie's gone

I had enough of my old hair colour which over time changed from a nice shade of blonde to a really hay-e looking kind of colour and I just had enough of.

I got the kit and the colour that I chose, but the most important element in hair colouring can not be bought in stores - make sure you have a friend who is willing to get down to business and get their hands dirty LITERALLY. I used to do it myself, but after getting multiple shades of colours for the spots I had completely missed, I decided to get (un)professional help.

Plus, let's face it it will be fun having a night in playing beauty parlour and gossiping about stuff. My friend, if you see this, thanks for agreeing to go to work tomorrow with black spots on your hands and I will be explaining the black spots from my ears, forehead, neck, cheeks and hands. It's been great fun, though!

And that's my thought of the day!

The golden apple

I need to express my gratitude and congratulate Apple for their excellence when it comes to customer service. I've had my phone for nearly one year now and even though it did seem to be a dodgy piece of kit since day 1, I somehow managed not to report it until 1 month before the end of my warranty.

Spoke to my network supplier on Friday evening who put me through to Apple customer service. Without too much fuss, they made an appointment for me to go see them at the Apple store in Bluewater today at 7.50 pm.

I had to go, but I was pretty disappointed thinking that it was too close to closing time and the staff will be grumpy so I was sure nothing will get sorted.

My phone, as crazy as it was, would freeze or decide to terminate my running applications whenever I was doing something relatively important...but whenever I tried to show this to someone, it would work perfectly normal. Damn black sheep undercover!

So obviously, when meeting the guy from Apple...my phone was not working to it's normal default standard that I was used to.

Great shock when the Apple employee just said that they'll replace it without too many questions asked. They did not want me to leave their store in disappointment. And I sure didn't! I got my new phone which works unbelievably well (I was probably too used to the faulty one) and I am currently writing this on my new phone. Apple do really have outstanding customer service and they sure got a little fan club in our household!

It still felt like I was pulling the plug on an old friend when I had to erase everything of the old one...all i can say now is goodbye my dear friend!

And that's my thought of the day!

Weekends are short

How is it fair that you have to work 5 out of 7 days and spend just 2 days with the ones you love?

How is it fair that out of a 24 hour day you sleep 8 hours, work an average of 8 hours and get 8 hours to spend with your loved ones?

Who chooses out of free will to spend an equal amount of time with family and friends and work colleagues?!

Even worse, if we spend as much time with work colleagues as with family, why do we not get a vote when hiring new people? No matter if you like them or not, you have to spend an awful lot of time with them...

All in all, I think it's unfair that we gotta work as much as normally acceptable to be able to secure a pension to allow us to do what we wanted to do in the first place.

But I guess it's just me moaning about a Sunday night knowing I've got to wake up early again tomorrow... Promise to have more cheerful thoughts tomorrow!

And that's my thought of the day.

Warhorse

I will keep this one short and sweet. Have you seen the film Warhorse?

I refused to watch it until today as I knew it was going to be emotional. And so it was, but in a different way than I had expected. It was so much better than I had ever thought.

Absolutely loved it and am curious to see what other peeps think about it. Are you like me and refused to see it to spare yourself the tears or were you brave enough to watch it when it came out? What did you think about it?

And that's my thought of the day.

I ♥ innocent people

What are you interested in?

✔ Men                 ✔ Women

I love the fact that there still are people out there who can take a simple fact like this Facebook question and still interpret it in a really innocent way, with such clean and pure minds, without having been touched by the dirty rules and perverted games encouraged by today's society. There still out people out there who use social media for SOCIALISING rather than stalking old partners and flings and today, I want to thank these people for probably making our world just a little bit better.

Now, for all of you who went straight into laughing and thinking about the exact same thing I did when I first read this statement on someone's profile...shame on you! :)

And that's my thought for today.

Thought of day 1 - I am a tall shorty

They say to be careful what you wish for as it may come true. And so it did!

For some strange reason, my height is so embedded in my brain that whenever I buy new trousers I need to buy long ones or I believe that they are too short for me to wear. I need to see the word ‘long’ written on the label or I won't buy them. However, I hate being tall! Absolutely bloody hate it!

Today, the lovely sun decided to finally show Canterbury some good lovin`, so I got to wear my flip flops in a sign of celebration… and my jeans kept slipping down getting caught between my heal and the shoe, making me step on them with every single step I took.

Now, most of you would generally most likely find this annoying, but I loved it! I finally got my wish and I felt really really short!

And that's my thought of today.
