I posted this a few months ago originally but seeing as it’s my worst ever fashion disaster, I decided to repost it to enter in to the April Tots 100 Blog Hop. Afer all, you couldn’t possibly get more of a disaster than that hair could you?
Miss Frugal has just discovered that our new printer has a built in scanner so you can imagine what we’ve been doing tonight. Yep – the house and everything in it has been now been scanned to within an inch of its life!
After about half an hour of scanning random drawings and magazines I decided to brave the garage (filled with boxes and spiders) and go find our big box of family photos. It’s huge (thank goodness for digital camera’s and memory cards lol) so I just grabbed a handful and retreated hastily for fear that a spider would come too close!
We’ve then sat and scanned about a gazillion photos – everything from my mam to family holidays when I was little to family pets I have no recollection of ever having met. All was going well till she came across this photo of yours truly on holiday in Spain when I was the same age Miss Frugal is now….

Those of you who have been here before will realise that I look exactly the same as Miss Frugal does now! It’s so uncanny that she’s just asked me when she had horrible hair as she couldn’t remember this photo being taken of her!
Horrible hair! Does she not know that I begged for that perm lol

Lol! The hairstyle looks funny, but it's not 'worse'. It's cool.
Wow! This curl hair style looks a good. I have seen many girls have a such type of hair styles and they really loves it. Not a bad hair style, it looks a pretty!
my daughter spent hrs and hrs scanning every photo we ever had and put them on a disc, and bought me a photo frame to go with them for my 50th birthday a few years back…such a wonderful present. if you leave yours long enough somebody may do your for you. we have pics of my daughter and grandaughter at same age and they are so similar its like twins!!
Awww, love the curls. Cute hair, not a bad hair day after all, lol.
Oh crumbs, that is nothing! I had the whole Deirdre from Corrie look….
Oh how funny I have dead straight hair and missed the perm phase but I know my sister had a very fetching perm not too dissimilar to your own ha ha xx
It is, however, a very pretty colour x
SO alike – that's uncanny!!!
Ha ha I dread to think what your picture's like if it beats mine lol…. Imagine if your husband photopcopied it and put it up round the neighbourhood – someone did that round here recently for a neighbours 50th Birthday – there was a different (not very flattering) picture on each lampost in the street and on a few of the roundabouts around.
Mortified!
My dad always calls her by my name aswell poor thing
Ha ha – I notice you tactfully avoided a comment about the actual hairstyle
lol
Ha ha I'd love to see you worst 😉
I am from the North and we always say mam but I always try to write mum in
my blog as mam never seems to look right when I read it back – it makes me
sound like I'm writing a Catherin Cookson book lol.
My husband says mom though so my e mail address is frugal mom (as he sent
it up) and I write frugal mum but we actually say mam….. Confused yet?
x x
I was sweet lol
Aaaaw – I want a picture lol
Lol – I'm glad I'm not the only one x x
Thanks for stopping by – I'll come and see you later.

I am a new follower from Friday Blog Hop. That is some bad hair. I had it too back in the day! Stop by and say Hi!
No way in hell I'm showing it to you but I had a perm like this too!!!!
I thought that was your daughter, and like her, you looked so sweet
I don't think it looks that bad, sure I could find something worse!
Noticed you used the word 'mam' as opposed to 'mum or mom' or you from up North perchance? I prefer to use 'mam' as I hail from the north east but have to use 'mum' when I am work.
Funny how Miss Frugal thought it was her.
I was so sure it was Miss Frugal, I am speechless!!
My oh my oh my. Miss is def a mini you. you could be twins, yes I know mother nad daughter, but that is uncanny
LOL! I can beat that hands down! Don't have a scanner though. (Thankfully!) I had a naturally curly almost afro mullet! It was hideous!! My OH is threatening to put it in the paper this year as I'm turning 30. I think I'd have to kill him! lol.
