We'll tell them to wait for you, just so we can see your hair!

We'll expect it to be awful and when it looks perfectly fine, it'll be such an anti climax and you will be ridiculed on this site the following day for being such an attention seeker :mrgreen:.

Lol yes my Mum always said that and kind of explains it. When I was young, my hair was so thick like a rope it used to be hard for hair stylists to style it! Now it's so thin, it's hard for them to do anything with it and just about covers my head! :(

Milkchocmonkey has a lot of hair on her head and it's always so glossy!

I've never met milkchocmonkey, but I HATE her already :p , everyone says she has a hunky boyfriend and now you tell me she has a lot of hair and to make it worse, it's always glossy. It's really not on... she's allowed one of those, but have two, that's taking the p*ss :twisted:. Next you'll be saying she's got the perfect job, ie crisp taster for Tyrells/Kettle Chips :P.


PS My hair's really fine. I haven't had it cut for a while so it's really straggly, so perhaps on Thursday we could have the straggly fine hair at the back row, where no one from behind can see us. ;)

Actually she does have the perfect job (I'd love to have her job). She used to work 5 minutes away from me and what's more, FMUK isn't banned at her workplace!

Also, she doesn't look her age! You got to love her - she has it all! The perfect woman. :angry:

Oh and she's always winning comps too..... :rolleyes:

We all have really lousy days from time to time. A bad work or school evaluation, a potential crush who turns out not to be interested, a fight with your mother-in-law, a worrisome call from a doctor…lousy days take many forms.

Here are some tips for getting through it:

1. Resist the urge to “treat” yourself. Often, the things we choose as “treats” aren’t good for us. The pleasure lasts a minute, but then feelings of guilt, loss of control, and other negative consequences just deepen the lousiness of the day. So when you find yourself thinking, “I’ll feel better after I have a few beers…a pint of ice cream…a cigarette…a new pair of jeans,” ask yourself – will it REALLY make you feel better? It might make you feel worse.

2. Do something nice for someone else. “Do good, feel good” – this really works. A friend going through a horrible period told me that she was practically addicted to doing good deeds; that was the only thing that made her feel better. However, don’t put too much pressure on yourself now. Don’t start planning an elaborate surprise party; email some digital photos to the grandparents.

3. Distract yourself. When my daughter was born, she had to be in Neonatal Intensive Care for a week. I spent every hour at the hospital, until my husband dragged me away to go to an afternoon movie. I didn’t want to go, but afterwards, I realized that I was much better able to cope with the situation after having had a bit of relief. Watching a funny movie or TV show is a great way to take a break. It might even be a good idea to have an emergency stash ready by the TV, for bad times.

4. Seek inner peace through outer order. Soothe yourself by tackling a messy closet, an untidy desk, or crowded countertops. The sense of tangible progress, control, and orderliness will lighten your mood. This always works for me – and fortunately, my family is messy enough that I always have plenty of therapeutic clutter at hand.

5. Tell yourself, “Well, at least I…” Get some things accomplished. Yes, you had a horrible day, but at least you went to the gym, or played with your kids, or walked the dog, or read a magazine.

6. Exercise is an extremely effective mood booster – but be careful of exercise that allows you to ruminate. For example, if I go for a walk when I’m upset about something, I often end up feeling worse, because the walk provides me with uninterrupted time in which to dwell obsessively on my troubles.

7. Stay in contact. When you’re having a lousy day, it’s tempting to retreat into isolation. Studies show, though, that contact with other people boosts mood. So try to see or talk to people, especially people you’re close to.

8. It’s a cliché, but things really will look brighter in the morning. Go to bed early and start the next day anew. Also, sleep deprivation puts a drag on mood in the best of circumstances, so a little extra sleep will do you good.

9. Remind yourself of your other identities. If you feel like a loser at work, send out a blast email to engage with college friends. If you think members of the PTA are mad at you, don’t miss the spinning class where everyone knows and likes you.

10. Keep perspective. Ask yourself: “Will this matter in a month? In a year?” I recently came across a note I’d written to myself years ago, that said “Taxes!!!” I dimly remember the panic I felt about dealing with taxes that year; but it’s all lost and forgotten now.

11. Write it down. When something horrible is consuming my mind, I find that if I write up a paragraph or two about the situation, I get immense relief.

12. Be grateful. Remind yourself that a lousy day isn’t a catastrophic day. Be grateful that you’re still on the “lousy” spectrum.

Hey look, I've gone over 200 posts... Admittedly, most of them have been about a_person's hair (which I've never seen), milkchocmonkey's hunky bf (neither of whom I've never met) and pretty and Beate's endless parties (which I'm NFI to), Destresserai's dodgy football team, and very little about films, but still... Or maybe I shouldn't admit this in case I get banned for talking cr*p all the time :undecided: !

LOL, don't worry most of my posts are nonsense elsewhere and I rarely bother to write a review as it requires alot of thinking which is too much for me at my age!

Whilst I applaud your post count, I must question your sanity - "dodgy football team" indeed - clearly you should be considering getting professional help!
