Remember my washing machine broke down over 2 months ago and I had no means of getting a new one? Well, I got special assistance to buy one! I was opting for a Zanussi but there also was a Bosch on offer at the store, at a really good price. But (of course, my luck) they didn't have any more in stock. Thanks to my Dutch thriftiness and Italian haggling skills (and with my limited budget in mind) I got them to sell me a Siemens with a 50 euro discount! Same machine, same factory. They even promised to deliver the next day so now I am the proud owner of a spanking brand new washing machine...and yes it is in the house already, installed and everything. I really don't like doing the laundry but now with the new machine (and my exploding hamper :p) I am really looking forward to doing my first load!
And I am sure you are all waiting to hear how things are in the wig department! The intake was a bit of a let-down. The prices of wigs scared me almost to death, especially if you think about the life expectancy of only one year (and that is with daily use). But we talked a bit about colors and models I would like and they were gonna order a number of wigs to try.
So, 2 weeks later, I picked one. Well, 2 really. My friend Cobie who made the pictures, picked the same, good sign ;) But of course I had to ask more advice so I sent the pics to Dan and my kids too. And everyone picked the same: Coupe Chaos as pictured above. So I am going for that one of course. I get part of it reimbursed by health care (it IS sort of a medical condition after all) and for the rest, well the other half really, I will have to ask special assistance again. Have to throw it on psychological probems like depression and lack of self confidence and that the city council wants me to work again to get out of the dole.
Have to say, it was really confronting, seeing myself 'with hair' once again and when the wig went off I really wanted to cry. I never realised how bald I really am. (OMG that was 3 'really's' in two sentences :p)
Of course I had a look around on the internet and I found that wigs cost about half as much in the USA so I am ordering one via Dan with my tax return/vacation money. The second wig all chose, shoulder length hair with bangs so I can do that up. That way I will have 2 hairdo's in different lengths and colors!
The extraordinary price for my Coupe Chaos luckily does include a LOT of service that I can learn from for my future wigs. All and all, I am a happy girl...well happy-ish :p Just help me hope I will get the money for my first wig...
Y'all, have a good hairday and hugz from
