im such a failure :(

today was a horrible day for me, i have not been looking forward to today, the reason for this being it was my driving test, my second to be precise.

on the 9th october i had my first driving test and i failed, i only had 2 minors and the major mistake was i went into the curb whlit trying to reverse aroud the corner, i was naturally quite upset but i got over it as i was convinced that i could do it next time, after all i only got 2 minors and one not so serious major (i didn't kill anyone).

i booked my second test straight away for the 2nd november and have had about 15 lessons to sort out the corner and i was doing so well in lessons, i even done the reverse around the corner in complete darkness.

so this morning i awoke slightly panicking but i was convinced that i was going to pass the bloody thing after all i was now a very good driver so my instructor said and prior to test the only thing i was going to fail on was eyesight right, wrong.

we got to the horrible test centre and out came the horrible examiner and that was it, he was a very patronising man and marked me down for almost everything i did including breathing, he was sitting next to me making unapproving sounds that were off putting. at more than one point i wanted to tell him to stop the test so i was not surprised i failed, on a totally different level, i also personally found him to be quite sleazy and was not comfortable at all

later on after the test my instructor, who was in the back, agreed and said some of the things weren't as bad as he said and half of the things were fine and a couple of things could have been minors. she then dropped the bombshell that he was the nasiest examiner at the centre and didn't really approve of female drivers, now having been the victim of racism and sexiesm a few months ago i found that too much too bear and cue on tears.

so the results, well i ended up with 12 minors and also everything was a serious, every bloody box was labelled as serious. im am gutted

Out of Accidents, life time love is made :)

So, for a few months now, i have had trouble in finding a replacement shampoo to my holy grail shampoo, Sunsilk Care and Repair. For many years I used sunsilk and absoletely loved the product, it was east to work with, had a pleasent smell and most of all didn't leave my hair greasy and my scalp itching afterwards. Now, i have a very sensitive scalp and there are more shampoos that leave my scalp irritated and sore and very few that don't. Quite recently i tried the VO5 silky smooth shampoo and conditoner and i my scalp was so itchy that i ended up with a sore head and combing and sleeping was a painful endeavour.

One of the shampoos that doesn't leave me scalp itchy but makes my hair fragile is head and shoulders, after using this shampoo for about 2 weeks, i embarked on a shampoo mission, to find the perfect shampoo, i spent hours in boots and superdrug and the poundshop in Bham city Centre and eventually decided on the Elvive Nutri Gloss light with citrus, This was a safe option as i had used this previously and really liked the results, bought this and to my surprise was a success and was contemplating re-purchasing.....

About 2 weeks ago, i eventually ran out of Elvive's Nutri Gloss and had to resort to whatever shampoo and conditioner was in the bathroom cabinet to suffice for that day. The Shampoo, was Original Source Mint and Tea Tree Oil.

Before using his product i have always thought of Original Source as a mascauline brand and have never really given it the time of day, but any misconceptions i might have had and i have to say that the Mint and Tea Tree Oil shampoo is probably the best shampoo i have ever used. It has a very pleasent mint smell and the shampoo, even though it is a bit runny lathers very well. The Conditioner is a very thick rich conditoner, going on very smooth and comes out very smooth. It leaves the hair and scalp with a lovely tingling sensation and cool and smells absolute delish.

Afterwards, my hair feels silky and light, but most of all no itchy scalp and no grease, normally i wash my hair everyday, but after using shampoo i didn't have to wash myhair for 2 days and that in my opinion AMAZING. By stumbling upon this shampoo accidently i have now found a shampoo that i will continue using for the foreseeable future!!!
