She had a hairdryer, the kind you sat under, but it conked out before it did the job. So she heated up the oven and put her head inside for about 15 min. She spent the next 20 min cutting melted plastic curlers out of her still wet hair. Oh how we kids laughed. And I got a chuckle for years every time I went to use her curlers with the warped ones still clinging onto bits of her snipped hair.Sandra Montgomeryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16951819537345588384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-28881010768374800812007-09-12T20:40:00.000+01:002007-09-12T20:40:00.000+01:00LOL at your head in the oven and worrying it will ...LOL at your head in the oven and worrying it will resurface as a 'false memory' in 20 years time.

In my mind the worst form of torture. I made the mistake of giving my daughter a drink in the middle of the night, and she carried on expecting it. Eventually, (when she was about 4), I said, here is your drink, by the side of your bed. Don't wake me up.Jackie Lubenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04865586154414594682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37400848.post-43963005993810161072007-09-11T16:04:00.000+01:002007-09-11T16:04:00.000+01:00Sorry to go off piste with this one WITN, but I ju...Sorry to go off piste with this one WITN, but I just remembered you mentioned recently how your son loves his John Deere boilersuit.
