Pleeeeease don't tell Santa......

[Blownupdolly]

Today is my granddaughters school play. She has quite a big part narrating the story and singing. Whilst she was in the bath last night, my daughter decided to trim her fringe as it was starting to get in her eyes. She did a good job and left DGD in the bath whilst she went to do something. This is what greeted her on her return....






I guess DGD didn't think the trim was good enough for her big day and finished it off herself!!! As you can imagine, daughter went into meltdown and the only thing DG could come up with was..... "Pleeeeeeeeease don't tell Santa"

Oh dear, bet she won't do that again in a hurry .... at least her dad looks quite relaxed about it

Good luck with her play xx

Oh my goodness Dolly that has brought back memories of long ago for me . When I was about 11 I thought it would be a good idea to trim my fringe and it kept getting shorter and shorter as I was trying to straighten it up. Having no brains whatsoever I just got it in a clump and cut it off. I ended up with a tuft of hair cut near to my scalp for about 12 months till it grew again . Did I learn anything at all from this NO I B£$£%& DIDN'T cos then I decided to shave my eyebrows off completely and looked like an egg for goodness knows how long. My dad went crackers and my mum thought it hilarious . Your granddaughter has a lovely expression on her face...................one that I remember oh so well . Santa will love her just the same wonky fringe and all

Yes, the face says it all. That's why I couldn't resist posting it. Both me and grandad were sniggering all evening

I bet you looked a picture Sue!

I remember my youngest, who had curly hair, decided she hated them so lifted each one up and snipped them off! I ended up having to cut it all off extremely short . She spent the next few months crying and bemoaning the fact that people thought she was a boy!

Haha love that pic!
My eldest did the thing Sue describes the night before we went on holiday to Disneyland Paris. Her whole fringe ended up about half a cm long The pics of that holiday don't get shown much!

oh bless her cotton socks, this really made me chuckle , I bet we have all done this in our younger days, and then tugged it to try and stretch it

Her little face , shes got scowling down to a fine art!

MYbe a hair slide or pretty grip will hide the wonky fringe, but She will look beautiful at the play no matter what.

I did this to my younger sister once, took the fringe right up to the hairline though, and cut the side of her hair to about 3 inches both sides. Now THAT Did look hideous!

Now that's just plain wicked!


I am really surprised she cut her hair as she has an obsession with the Disney character Rapunzel. So much so she has refused to have her hair cut, and it is now so long it sits just above her bottom! Looks lovely I must say, but I hate having to brush it when she stays over.

I know its not very obvious from my avatar that I'm female the dodgy hairstyle I'm sporting is also down to my love and fascination of scissors.... I let the boy next door chop off a whole pigtail hence my interesting pixie hairstyle

Good lord! You did look like a little boy


Just come back from her school play. It was obvious my daughter, in desperation, had tried to do something with curling tongs...no... Didn't work!! However, GD did very well. Nanna was proud.
