Red Nose Day today, so the kids have gone to school either in Red or Green dressed as a monster or in their there best clothes. Polly wore a dress with some red lipstick in her hair, not sure it will come out? Alfie went in his Tottenham football fit what a surprise!

Friday my day of housework, but not today i am off to have my hair coloured, then Doddy is coming over so we can have lunch out again and to visit a shop which i pass every day going to work in West Wycombe.

I was a little late coming back from having my hair done as Claire my hairdresser suggested i should have it cut shorter due to the ends being very badly damaged becaude of all the colour and perm that i have had on my hair over the year. So off she went cutting away, OMG yes a bit shorter than liked but i guess it will grow quicker now i have all the split ends cut off. I must not straighten it as much as that does not help either.

Doddy was already at home when i got there so we went straight off to West Wycombe. The shop is called The Apple Orchard http://www.theappleorchard.com/ Its a lovely shop, so if you are passing you must pay them a visit, there is lots of lovely furniture and various gift ideas. I purchased a present but will not say what or who for just in case! There were some lovely and different pictures of buildings which had letters hidden in them which were put together to make a line of four letters spelling LOVE and HOME, these were great but a little pricey.

We were going up to the golden ball for a walk but it was raining so we will have to do that another day and Doddy said that she has never been down the Hell Fire Caves, which i have not done for years. Not sure what the kids will make of it but will have to do that also very soon when the weather gets better.

We had lunch at The Rose and Crown in Saunderton, as when we drove past there was a sign outside saying 2 for 1 meals so we went there and had a really nice lunch, thanks again Doddy what am i going to do next Tuesday and Friday when you have gone back to school!

The evening is here and we are settled down to watch abit of the Red Nose Day programme as Phil is not home from work yet. Its so sad watching this programme those poor children and adults with no sight. We did our bit and donated another £20 plus the rest we have given over the past week, lets hope that it gets to the people who need it.

The stars and celebrities do a great job putting this programme together, we liked the JLS dancers and the James Corden sketch he is so funny and having George Michael in the car with him was brilliant!
