    @HaileyDanielle

    I can't understand the discrimination, even from a pure economics point of view

    Women are charged more for haircuts than men and in a way they are basically refusing to accept somebody who, to put it bluntly, wants to pay more

    I saw a unisex hair salon a few days ago and my Mum said she goes to one and they still charge more for a lady's haircut than a man, even if takes the same time. I asked what if someone asks for exactly the same cut but says they identify as male

    No offence meant by any of this, I'm saying this as someone who has had issues with gender in the past and who considers themself part of the non-gender-typical community

    Really glad you found somewhere @HaileyDanielle that's brilliant. I bet you feel so much better after a trim?

    I'll be making a few posts for Pride month next month, so keep your eyes out!

    Hi everyone from a dry day at last!

    @Lou67 that's brilliant what your son and daughter are doing and what a good cause

    @66Mustang it looks from the photo you have lovely walks

    @Albus_Scope sorry to hear you have been unwell

    @Ada 👋 have you got the new phone?

    I'm having a washing clothes day and a quiet one as Mr is having a lot of pain where they operated. Maybe it's bruising as he was told to expect this recovering. I'm glad I got new super supportive pillows.

    Have a good afternoon Scopicles 😊

    I hope you're good. Mr. Marydoll is lucky to have you looking after him!!!! Hopefully his pain doesn't last too long

    Yes I love where we go for walks, we live in a town but we are really fortunate to have countryside like 10 mins away on foot🙂

    You'll be caught up in no time I'm sure. 😁

    The dudes (as we call our three) are really not impressed with the builders and I'm sure they'll need throat sweets soon for all the barking they're doing! It's not very restful here. 😆

    @Ada that's brilliant you have a phone now you've been missed.

    Thanks everyone for thinking of Mr. It's something we were warned about as a result of the operation pain, headaches and extreme fatigue. It's just really kicked in today.

    @HaileyDanielle pleased to meet you! I am glad you got a hairdresser and in this day it beggars belief people would refuse to take your custom. Their loss.

    I'm hoping everything calms down for Mr Doll soon, the body really takes a while to recover from operations. But he's got a great person looking after him. :)
