3.65 - the number of the hair colour that Allie and I used to die our hair - it is Deep Cherry Brown. Allie wanted to die her hair dark and I wasn't keen on black but this is a lovely dark reddish colour which really suits her. It was a foam application which was pretty easy to add to her hair and after we'd finished there was some left so I decided to finish it off on my hair. I think with my hair being so short it actually came out darker than hers but we were both pleased with the results. However, I had missed a few bits of her long hair so we had to buy another bottle to give it another application a week later.
8 - Chorley Roses were 8 years old this month! I remember the first time we all met at the hall in Chorley, Lancashire as a Crop group. We were allowing children so Allie and I set off to do the one thing you tell kids never to do on the internet - meet "virtual" friends. I did mention to my husband that I was driving 35 miles to Chorley to a place I'd never been before to meet a group of people I had only ever spoken to online at UKScrappers and he did wonder if it was safe to take our then 6 year old but she and I still set off with our scrapbooking gear and directions from Tree who lived in Chorley and had arranged the meet up. So we got to Chorley and we went round all the roundabouts on the directions and we got to a Church Hall but there was no-one there. We sat for a while contemplating what to do and then I realised the name of the Church was different to the one we should have been at. After a quick mobile phone chat it turned out Tree had missed one of the roundabouts from her directions and almost everyone had got lost on their first visit. We eventually got there and have been going ever since for 8 years. Not many of us actually scrapbook anymore but we do still do arty stuff. However, what we really do is chat and drink brews and eat cakes and laugh lots!
£3.75 - that's all it cost off e-bay for 50 mini glue sticks for Allie's glue gun and it included postage - bargain!
5 - that is how old my GREAT niece Kenzie was this month. She is the daughter of Jeff's niece and I can't believe we are old enough to have GREAT nieces and nephews!
632 - euros - that is the cost of the hotel my best mate Kath and I have booked in Rome in September for her 40th Birthday celebration. (She is actually 40 in June but it was easier to arrange a long weekend away just her and me in September). She's booked the flights and I've booked the hotel and now we can save up and book some trips - so excited!!
High 5 - the score 2056 Knutsford Sqn got out of 7 on our Annual Inspection from Wing. We had a good turn out of cadets who all looked very smart in their Wedgewood Blues and we'd managed to get the admin and office straight ready for the inspection. Very proud of our Sqn!!
And that is my month in numbers. Take a look at this blog for the origins of this idea
