Pampering Gone wrong ...well then right

Ok so last week I "think" I found some grey hair, and I had not died my hair since being here in Indonesia, so I say to Zed "right that’s it I’m going to try to colour my hair" I have had several friends have theirs cut and coloured and it was a disaster, only because they don’t work with westerners hair, they have such different hair to us and they are great with that!

So a friend said to me I had a cut at majesties and he was good. By good she ment she didn’t end up with a very short mullet cut as one of our other mums did. SO off I went ok ill have it coloured just medium brown how hard could that be??? hmmmm

So I walk in and there is 2 parts to the salon the main salon where I was, then there is a door way going threw to another one for woman that wear burkers 9not sure of the spelling) and such, I thought how good is that that people accept difference that well...???

First the cut AWESOME just what I wanted, then on went the colour, then off came the colour and started drying it "oh no, I’m multi coloured" the first 4 inches was orangish, and then the bottom was exactly the colour I wanted..... And in his defense I know why this happened was because I had die in the bottom of my hair and the top was "new" hair... but all good he said come back I fix for free.

Ok so went back in and he wasn’t there, oh he will be 30 mins ok well ill treat myself to a mani and pedi while I wait...... nice!

So he came in and re coloured now it’s pretty close to perfect (as close as I think I’ll get here)

BORNEO and our new LIFE

Welcome to BORNEO, where ex pat's relax and get pampered for like hardly any coin.
Right so we are living in a hotel room,SMALL hotel room, 3 bedroom but TINY. We have our HOTEL meals paid for, our laundry done and room made up everyday. Sure SOUND great huh, maybe for a single person or couple would be fantastic but with 2 five yr olds and a nearly 12 mth old its not so great at all.

BUT, we have found 2 massive shopping malls with "timezone" type places in them games galore, we have found a family hush run on Tuesdays 4 k's my boys did this week so proud of them, and they will do swimming tues and Thursdays.

Its really hard to get into a routine in a hotel room, and we have holidays coming up hmmmm will be interesting.

So back to the ummmm pampering: So we have tried numerous times to be pampered but something ALWAYS comes up, i need a babantu ( a house keeper). So Dr Wendy and i tried to have a pedicure last week at the local salon at a big 4 story mall here, we took Buddha (he was asleep in the pram) great so this will work, but we just sit down and bamm wake up time, then all he wanted to do was run around trying to hold him on my lap screaming wriggling, chucking a mental so that was that sorry have to go, paid full price for something that i didn't even get the good bit to. :(

Rito, so Sunday ...... def pampering day Zed home gal's ready to go to majesties (the place we have be wanting to go since we arrived) so Zed and the other hubby's playing golf at 1, 9 holes they'll be done by 3.30pm then us gals going to get rubbed, pressed, and most of all PAMPERED with NO children, well as just like the other weeks NOTHING go's as planned and the golf club had no carts, so they had to walk so yep u guessed it they were going to take ages longer, so Mr D Dr Wendys parntner said oh you gals go ill baby sit as long as Buddha doesn't poop ill be good well thats ok cause he pooped this morning, hmmmm the house is full with 10 kids, a chicken cooking in the oven and bridesmaids the movie on tv bahahaha House hubby came to mind.

But seriously what man would do that? MR D that's who, but I'm sure next time golf is offered he will choose to play. :)
to be continued ... oh the funny part is yet to come :)
