Today I went to Ipswich with my Mum and sister to collect Sugar! You will remember from my earlier blog Sugar Syrup that choosing a pink wig was easy, it was what I wanted to have as soon as I knew I would lose my hair as an act of defiance against the cancer but also because it was an opportunity to add a splash of colour to life, something that I would not have done in my ‘normal’ life.
In the mornings Phil, Dude and I go for our morning walk together. It is a special time for the three of us to just ‘be’ together. Earlier this week Phil said ‘I’ve been thinking’ (not often a good sign for me, it usually means he’s been thinking about how to tell me that he disagrees with a decision I’ve made!!). He said; ‘some days you might want to just be normal, to blend into the crowd and be able to just go out and not be sticking two fingers up to cancer’. He was of course right.
So today we set off with the mission of collecting ‘Sugar’ and finding another wig that was interesting enough to excite me and yet subtle enough to be inconspicuous if I want to. Mission Accomplished!
I would like to introduce you to Raquel
I love this wig! It is how I would always like my hair to be but never have because I can’t get the root lift!!
The team at Frobishers were great. So warm, welcoming and supportive, and they had an amazing selection of wigs and accessories, it would have been very easy to get carried away.
Jean who did my fitting at the Big-C was there (on the right in the photo above) Sophie did my fitting and trimmed up Sugar to make her a perfect fit 🙂 and here she is:
That’s it, a couple of extra headscarves two wig stands and a ‘maintenance’ kit and I’m all ready for the fall-out!
Talk to you soon
Lots of love Mand xxx
Just be aware, it wont only be the hair on your head that you loose, you won’t need to wax or shave anywhere, and I mean anywhere for a while X
❤️❤️ LOVING both sugar and Raquel! Xxx
Love them both, you are looking REALLY good missus. Well done Phil, good decision, as always we rely on you to add a little bit of sense…….only a little though xxx
good move Phil. Sometimes quantity is as good as quality.
You got two cute chicks now. Xx
Whilst I commend my brother on his eminent sensibility (and the choice of sane wig is brilliant), I do have to say you look amazing in pink, those glasses are the perfect complement too.
I’m off to China tomorrow for 2 weeks, during which time I will be visiting the Terracotta Army. I can’t decide if suggesting you add them to your visualisation is a good idea or just mean as I would worry that you might not get any sleep with all those guys trouncing around!
Thinking of you, with love xxx
You look bloody amazing in pink! totally love it Darling.
The other one is okish, a tad boring to be honest – but I get why you got it xxx
Love both of these xxxx
Glad we could help! Was a pleasure to meet you and your family. We think you look fab in sugar and hope you have lots more adventures together. Hope things are going well.
