Husband has now found out that his redundancy is happening sooner than we thought for, his last day is now in two weeks time. In an effort to reassure him that we are not penniless I made the serious error of allowing him close inspection of the household budget. Bad mistake. He has now found out how much I’ve been spending at the hairdressers. Good job he didn’t spot the entry for the beauty parlour.
He soon had the calculator in his hand and he’s not happy with me. It has been pointed out that if I’d saved the money I’ve spent at the salon over the past 20 years that we’d have enough in the bank to get the house double glazed and to buy a new car.
I’ve been so looking forward to the end of the 6 month après chemo hair dye ban so that I could get my blonde hair back but now that the time is here I’m not so sure anymore. The shade I had selected, dark ash blonde, doesn’t look too different to my natural hair. So I asked husband what he honestly thought. He reminded me that I am no spring chicken and well into middle age. Hmm. I know I said be honest but there was no need to be that brutal!
I think husband realises he has said the wrong thing. So he has decided to be helpful by going outside to clean the windows. Unfortunately he has ignored the supply of old towels which I use for housework. He’s out in the garden wiping down the window frames with my best set of embroidered towels which he has removed from the bathroom. I can see the grubby marks on them from here. I will keep quiet though, he has been such a good husband while I’ve been ill, and I expect the stains will come with a good soak.
So what do I do? Shall I keep the grey hair or do I start dyeing again?
