WOYWW #258

Hi folks- I'm back! Missed a few weeks, on holiday last week, and a lot of hassle waiting for a bed to be delivered the week before! Trying to make a courier company understand that we need a proper delivery day & time, as working nights mean we need to sleep during the day was like trying to nail jelly to the ceiling.  Ordered it two weeks before we were due to go away, as it was Next Day Delivery. It actually arrived 10 minutes before we left for the airport. Anyhow, not a thing on my desk, as we only arrived back in the UK at 2.30am on Monday morning, a couple of mugs of decaff with proper milk later I felt fairly human.  Off to bed then and when we got up we had a flatpacked bed to assemble. Not to mention unpacking and washing.Why is it you can pack in an hour, but it takes at least four to unpack and put everything away? So where did we go? Lanzarote, which was lovely. Temperatures on average 27/29 C. Quite windy, due to the Trade Winds, but that made it pleasant to walk around in.I've put some pics at the end of this post, which you can look at or skip- it takes an age to get around all the desks I know. Speaking of desks, Head Desker Julia over at The Stamping Ground is waiting patiently for your link, as always.
The only other interesting(maybe) thing I've done lately is change my hair colour:

 This is my hair before:


  This is half way through:


 By the way, the enormous white thing in the picture is the Memory Foam mattress, ready for the new bed, which DID arrive the next day!










And the end result?

My original red, into purple, then into blue. Needs more purple next time, I think.

Edited Update!
 This just ceased to be the most exciting thing I've done! Just checked my e-mails, and today I have a Guest Design Team project being showcased on the Chocolate Baroque DT Blog! I did the project a few weeks ago, but couldn't show it yet, so in the next day or two, I will do a post with it.

So thats what passes rather loosely for my WOYWW post this week, I promise to do better for next week,lol. I shall also be laughably attempting to link in when I come out of work using my new smartphone, instead of waiting till I get home. Don't make the mistake of holding your breath on this one, in this case the technology is way smarter than the user. First day while putting all my numbers in, I randomly called four people. So we shall see how this pans out.
 By the way, going back to holidays, and flights. Does anyone suffer from ear pain when landing? Or know anyone who does? If so, Hubby found a brilliant cure after a bit of Internet research. I've suffered every time we fly, the pain being so bad I'm almost crying with it.  Apparently, its due to having very narrow tubes in the ear, and I've tried all the regular 'cures'-Flight ear plugs/chewing gum (which I loathe)/boiled sweets- nothing works. But Sudafed Nasal spray does! A blast when I got on the plane, one about half way through the flight (I was being ultra cautious), and one half an hour before landing. Result- pain free landing for the first time ever.So it definitely works.  Have a great Wednesday everyone, I will leave you with a few holiday snaps.
