Next time you read this you may not recognise me. It'll be the new look Smudgie. This afternoon, in an attempt to beat my annoying hair into submission - flat-iron straight, fine, and disobedient - I have arranged to have a perm this afternoon. I used to wear my hair permed, so I'm not sure why I am quite so nervous this afternoon. Maybe it's simply that I feel sorry that Smudgelet will no longer be able to brush my hair (well, at least, not without causing even more pain) and put ribbons in it, though this is in many ways a good thing. Maybe it's because I'm getting even more cautious in my old age. Maybe it's because of the impact on my bank balance. Who knows.
Tiddles will get a shock when he comes home from school because he doesn't know I'm having it done. Smudgelet is pre-warned and not impressed with the idea at all. Dad is more concerned about the fact that he is going to have to look after the boys for half an hour after school.
Beautiful day today. Maybe I'll just sit in the garden instead!
