Bleach it, bleach it and then bleach it some more and, trust me, that yellow all goes! When I did my roots I would leave the peroxide on my head for about 4 hours or so. Of course it ends up the texture of straw but who cares? It's (literally) blisteringly white. And, I have to say, I could've written your penultimate sentence.Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-65663766430565940912009-05-31T05:52:16.722+01:002009-05-31T05:52:16.722+01:00Oooooohh, Mrs. Jones, I had that hair, except less...Oooooohh, Mrs. Jones, I had that hair, except less arty and more tufty and I never could get to white, I had to stick with yellow. If I knew how to scan I might put it up on my blog. I agree with you and Peevish, when the sweet bird of youth flew off, she took my hair color, excessive cigarette consumption, and thank Nathan the poverty. I do miss being so much cooler than I am now and I miss being thin but honestly I really enjoy all the eating I do to stay this heavy. Well done with the blue tit (that was fun to write!)GingerBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09976594257345428901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-23307900340597505612009-05-28T22:58:03.052+01:002009-05-28T22:58:03.052+01:00Oh, snap.

Food generally consisted of individual Mr Kipling apple pies, fish finger sandwiches and sausages plus the odd 'care package' from my mother. Got down to 100 lbs at one point and looked really good (surprisingly not too skinny - about size 4 in American) but would pass out from hunger!! Now, of course, I'm an American size 12 but then I'm 28 years older! Oh well...Mrs Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06289121990808465890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-22958832119260201192009-05-28T21:18:45.589+01:002009-05-28T21:18:45.589+01:00I hear you.

I keep forgetting.<br /><br />I'm too terrified to see how grey my hair is, so I just keep up the coloring, as I sing: "Hello darkness, my old friend". <br /><br />That last photo of you is just gorgeous, my dear.peevishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14135920853307511091noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6528663482752743529.post-74620831761576615872009-05-27T13:46:58.521+01:002009-05-27T13:46:58.521+01:00I'll think of you as I head to the bathroom to 'do...I'll think of you as I head to the bathroom to 'do' my hair today. I'm always a little worried that I'll get too distracted and come out pink, but I'm not ready for the grey!<br /><br />It's lovely looking through old photos- takes you right back.blackbirdhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07044667449525289901noreply@blogger.com
