Hi all,
Had all of my hair shaved off at the weekend and i'm still getting used to it. It's quite cold up top so i'm wearing a nice new hat bought for me by my darling dearest. My hair is quite whispy where the beams go in, which is not unexpected I suppose. I just hope that it grows back nicely like it was before without going curly or turning any odd colour. No white woman's afro for me thank you very much. Although scaring little kiddies into thinking i'm Side Show Bob would be a giggle.
It won't be the end of the world if it doesn't grow back. I will just have to invest in some proper hair clippers to keep it all neat and tidy and not rely on the cheap and nasty ones that we got from the petrol station. We're not at that point yet but can anyone recommend any?
Whilst (while? - grammar experts please help me out) I'm here I am going to have my 2 cents worth on Jade Goody. Why on earth does everyone prefix what they say about her with 'I know she's not the sharpest knife in the drawer' or something similar? It's just so rude! She's doing her best with a truly horrible disease and I do not begrudge her a single penny of the money she's making for her children.
Joint pain is back in the knees and at the worst time - when the parents-in-law are visiting from the Netherlands. Drugs are working well as well as a hot water bottle.
Anyhoo...must go and do some ironing otherwise we'll be going around crinkle-cut, which will be unacceptable to Dutchcloggie. I couldn't care less but who am I?

With her problems she doesn't need enemies as well. I wish her a nice surprise as well as any money she makes through the press. I hope they have paid it into a trust fund for the children instead of letting her family get their mitts on it. They haven't had her advantages.
I find it interesting that those who actually have cancer themselves all seem to side with Jade and think she should get what she can get and that being in the public eye is a good thing. Maybe it is because those who are already living or dealing with cancer are not uncomfortable with being confronted with it.
People who do not have cancer or do not have a close friend or relative with cancer seem to be really upset by the attention for cancer that jade Goody is generating. It makes people uncomfortable and makes them realise it can strike anyone. Maybe that's it? It certainly seems like that to me.
Either way, I think it is great that there is a 20% increase in women asking for a smear test since Jade has gone public. Also, she has said she wants enough money to pay for her boys to go to private school until they are 18 because she wants them to have a better chance in life than she has had. Good for her. I reckon that's smart. She is perhaps street smart, rather than Oxford smart. Does that matter? Not really.
And finally......JD, I LOVE the short hair and the cute prickliness of it. I also love my clothes ironed.
