Now, on...(I do not deserve to be a blog heroine!!). Now, onto the subject at hand, everyone has very insightful suggestions Bobbie. While there must always be balance some of the very best experiences and adventures come from jumping into an experience you thought was too expensive or off limits and just going with it. One day you might look back and have regrets, so let yourself dream a little and then live some of those dreams.<br /><br />Carli xxxAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-5991152713283392792009-10-04T18:40:34.033+10:002009-10-04T18:40:34.033+10:00Bobbie, a pedi isnt just about glamour.

SO take care of them. and if in the taking care you happened to enjoy and feel relaxed and pampered then thats a bonus. <br />Remember how you are and what you do is part of what you are teaching your 4 girls. This is really the most important aspect of all this. <br />Jane of JanezworldAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-88157227126301424922009-10-01T17:56:20.061+10:002009-10-01T17:56:20.061+10:00Ah Bobbie, I'm glad I'm not the only one w...Ah Bobbie, I'm glad I'm not the only one who thinks the thinks that you think. The day will come when we stop putting our children/family before ourselves in everything that we do and indulge in a little luxury...the wait will be worth it...the time will come...it will come. There will be angels who will help you along the way to a little self indulgence (like your favourite aunty, sister, good friend, your mum or a Lucky Holly who's going to shout you to a pedi) they are the ones that will open those doors to us.<br /><br />Bless your frugal heart.Lishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12893600713172004711noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-7106202581492848542009-10-01T17:51:30.973+10:002009-10-01T17:51:30.973+10:00Every Mum deserves a Pamper.Every Mum deserves a Pamper.Sars lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00552972300646482000noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-42186661876499793502009-10-01T14:48:51.517+10:002009-10-01T14:48:51.517+10:00This is the first time I have peeked at your blog,...This is the first time I have peeked at your blog, I hope you do not mind.

I was a hairdresser in my younger days as you know and I still only get 2 cuts a year. I know thats bad, with the stuff i know, and still i do it (or dont do it). People get their hair cut from me and ask me how often i cut my hair. GULP. I havent had a pedi or manicure since working in the salon 8 years ago. Since meeting some good friends I have actually started going out once a month with them and on Monday am having the first ever time away from my kids longer than one night!!! (usually at nannas, while I am at home, not anywhere spech!) <br />Why do we do it to ourselves. We are the ones that look after everyone else and doing something for ourselves makes us feel better and feeling better helps us be better mums. The cash we would occasionally spend on ourselves would hardly be missed... unless by buying a new shirt we started a huge shopping spree - lol<br />Being a mum is full of crazy thoughts, <br />are we good enough, <br />can we spend that on ourselves, can our kids live without us for 24 hrs? <br /><br />The answer is a resounding <br />"YES,"Petahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07473307712434466380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-26806166934614209692009-10-01T12:12:25.915+10:002009-10-01T12:12:25.915+10:00Bobbie, I'm in Brisbane at christmas time.

The same ...Many years ago I was where you are now. The same thoughts the same feelings. Frugality, economical, self-denial at times. The automatics washing machine (2nd hand) and dryer (new) didn't come until No.4 child. And living in a cold, wet State. Suffice it to say I think amongst all other women that surround you, you are the most, beautiful (& sexy), strongest, creative, loving, frugal, and deserving of any little trivial treat that you desire. Yes, go and get the pedicure. My luxury is buying haircolor - on special!!! lol. My dryer us still used on those successive wet days - and there is only 2 of us - and I don't feel guilty. I sent good used shoes off to Africa so that helped them out. Brush your hair, put a color in it, if you like, it is very beautiful. There are a few good hairdressers in the Church work from home, find one. Then you will feel better about going on a holiday. I sewed for myself and children saving money that I could spend on good shoes. I love you. You are a very blessed woman and I am proud and blessed that you are part of our family. xxxxxxThe ComberNationhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16454243456625678052noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-78530607318371875762009-10-01T09:45:54.541+10:002009-10-01T09:45:54.541+10:00I'm right there with you.

Sometimes I feel bad about these things and am even a bit jealous of others but mostly I feel that I am focusing more on things that really matter because when I die am I really going to care how my hair looked or how stylish my clothes were? I just have to be careful that I make sure that I look presentable!Carolyn Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863562344482128995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3471708841296862671.post-9401459236972056482009-10-01T09:00:28.088+10:002009-10-01T09:00:28.088+10:00Bobbie I'm the same way.

You really do deserve a pedicure, even for those of us who do without, little comforts aren't bad along the way.
