A New Look?

Well, had some home truths told to me today - ouch! And I guess to be honest with some justification - along the lines of 'you could look so much better' and also 'she isn't as old as she looks'. Now I do really think all of this was well meant, but still fairly painful to hear, isn't it? So, the self-improvement programme is now going into overdrive. And in all honesty it's probably overdue - and hell, why shouldn't I look as good as I can. Fed up with trying to impress the oh, but there are other fish in the sea, aren't there? So, some money needs to be spent along with some time I think. And probably some effort - though not so keen on that, but there we are.

Actually, I think there have been conversations behind my back at work - now I really don't mind cos these are two of my best friends in the world - but they are the only people who I have ever confided in about feeling less than happy with things. Maybe they have decided what I should do - they even said I should find a younger man! My thoughts exactly.

So I think the first thing to do is clear out the wardrobe - see exactly what's what. And some extra attention to grooming is required. I was quite shocked to see my grey hair in photos lately, so I think a colour and a cut. Then we'll go shopping - I've sussed out some really good second hand shops for really expensive gear, and also some good charity shops. Cos I don't have a lot of money. But honestly I'm going for the good capsule wardrobe here - and I do have some good bits.

Guess what else I did - I looked for jobs in Dubai - how naughty am I?? And they're very well paid. Oh says I should go - oh my goodness, how tempting - somebody slap me, please.

So, off to have a bath and shave the terrible legs, and do a bit of pampering - and why not? xxx
