Very true So Lala, I once went to the doctors for an infected piercing ( I was 14 and clueless) and he basically just told me he could not help me and to go to the piercer, which I did got some solution and it was sorted within a few weeks.
There is a risk with all piercings - even just your lobe but to be honest I've heard of a lot more people having problems with piercings than stretched ears.

There's a tutorial on distressing here: http://www.madebylex.com/2010/06/how-to-distress-denim-jeans.html
I'd suggest you marked out the skull pattern, then using the knife method from the tutorial, distressed the inside of that pattern.
linkxthexemo - I don't understand: blue screwdriver bits??
hehe I was in a similar situation to you - I had a 15mm plug (no idea what that is in gauges) in one of my ears but about 9 years ago had to take them out for a uni interview, I never manged to get the plug back in. I also tried stretching again but an event always came up where I needed to take it out.
I still have a line where the plug used to be but don't regret it either way - I don't wish I still had it and don't think they look horrible. However I do still think they look really nice on men (your wife has good taste 
).
Hey Girls, thanks for all the advice. I ended up cutting it in the end took about 4 inched off, side parting and more layers. I feels so much healthier now and as I thought it has more volume.
I do usually try to do deep conditioning treatments once a week or so and I use serum everytime after I wash my hair. I rarely use heat on my hair and leave it to dry naturally. I think my hair became damaged either from dyeing ( but not much, only bout once every 3 months) and just sheer lack of haircuts.
Just after having my hair cut I got a sinus infection (boohoo!) so haven't had a chance to show it off, but the one night I did go out I got quite a few compliments so I assume its suiting me. I might still grow it back out with the shorter layers, I guess I'll just see how I feel.
Felecity - I will remember the vinegar trick, I assume you do that before shampoo or your hair will smell?

Wow Rawr Rawr, I love those angel wings! I dont have any tattoos. I would love to have one and I keep seeing so many amazingly beautiful ones but unfortunetly growing up my mum worked doing skin camouflage ie, semi permanent makeup covering scars and tattoes. After hearing so many people regretting their tattoos, it has kind of stuck that it's a huge decision that you can't go back on. So far I have plenty of piercings, as you can just take those out, but I have never regretted any of those and still wear them every day. Anyway, I've been thinking that I'd like to get 2 cute little kittens behing each ear like this: http://media-cdn.pinterest.com/upload/27232772716235721_o9pzq4G2_b.jpg and some orchids down the side of my ribs.
I'd say what your wearing is pretty much spot on to what I would expect a waitress to wear. Formal but still comfortable as you'll certainly be doing a lot of running around. You look great!!
Actually, I think I'm going to go for it - but as you said Olivia, slightly shorter and more layers, and have a side parting for a change - can't do bangs though - they gave me headaches when I had them once before.
I just found some old pics of me with hair about the length I want it (these were 2 and a half years ago and I've lost 35 pounds since then!)
OK, so I've been growing my hair for about 3 years now to get it to the length it is now. Over the past year it has been getting rather annoying, ie. getting knotty, getting, in my food, I have to tie it up at night. As I've been looking at some pics it's looking quite dull with no volume - I'm guessing the length is weighing the hair down. Does any one have the same issues and does a good hair cut help? And also do you think it would suit me?
I basically just want to make it more manageable.
Here's my hair now:
My hair is straightened in the last one (it really doesn't straighten very easily)
This is the kind of style I'd want:
OK, it's not that that much of a difference but would still be taking 3/4 inches off and shorter layers.
I use pinterest.com or tumblr for inspiration if that helps...
Do you live in the UK? I haven't gone on any but I know most local colleges do evening classes once a week which you should be able to fit into your schedule. There's also a college in Bristol that might still do 1 or 2 days courses.
Well I recently tried Red Velvet for the first time and couldn't believe I hadn't tried anything that yummy before. I want to make sure there aren't other cakes I missing out on...
So let me know what you favourites are (links to recipes are more than welcome!)

You've got some pretty good some on there! Just fanned you I haven't really used lookbook that much to be honest but I find it useful to have a glance everynow and then for DIY ideas.
Hmmm, I can't think of any paticular style inspiration, I do get a lot of ideas from sites like tumblr, lookbook and pinterest.
I am quite open minded fashion wise. If I had to describe it I'd probably have to say a feminine, smart metal head. I adore biker boots, leather jackets and cut up band t-shirts, and I tend to wear them with feminine dresses or blazers. I am also a sucker for any kind of silver jewellery (yes I am a human magpie ;))
I guess it kind of sums up my life, I love metal, I work a corporate job and I'm a real woman round the house
This is mine. Just got it about a month ago and I'm loving it! http://pinterest.com/mashymoo/
