No, they all have straight hair....I was the only one in my family with curly hair too...though it did go straighter with each kid I had!

I just put a pic up that son just took in the other thread,...I only have about half as much hair now cos its got really thin as well.
I saw that Croc and I posted to you and Yogi but the post never made it onto the thread.
it's happened a lot lately, the posts aren't being nicked they just never seem to post
anyway I loved the pic of you as a flapper - very glammy.
And you don't look that much older in the other pic (biatch!) I always wanted curly hair.

If the posts don't go through just press 'back to forum' and the reply box should still be there....post it again and it goes through 2nd time

OMG I have a mate who permed her hair when we were about 12 and that is exactly how it looked
You can see on the ends the bits that weren't under the swimming hat!
If only there had been GHD's in those days.
Anyway, do we get to see a pic of you wearing the actual swimming hat? Now that I'd like to see

No...I actuallyt slept in it and it made my head sweat and itch and it wasn't dry when i took it off in the morning!
Oh gawd I hope someone has a picture of them wearing their swimming hat, AND is brave enough to post it.

Never saw them.....
Our school had its own pool and we were constantly told how lucky we were
Thanks for the tip about the posts Croc, i'll try that next time it happens.
I remember those swimming hats with the flowers on them but thankfully no photos exist.

Apparently I just got grief (well, no apparently about the grief,, I 'did' get grief) for apparently putting a pic in the wrong thread (that's the correct apparently btw)

That's a great pic Rafe - my boys would probably share the trauma of having 'right on' parents with you PMSL.

Our school did too, and all the other neighbouring poorer schools came and swan in it, that's probably why we had to wear verruca socks
