Just finished my A level exams yay!
Just thought I'd post what happened to me today. Went into a shop selling t-shirts and the like with slogans about the area with live in. I saw a cap saying 'Shropshire Lass' on it which I thought would be funky for University as I'm goin quite far away. I didn't have my wig on and I think the woman must have thought I was ill because she said they were £10 but only £5 for me and without me saying anything she then offered me the pink one in the window for £1 because it needed a little bot of a wash. She kept looking at me sadly. Don't you find it annoying when people seem t think you are ill?
On a another note, I really love my NHSwigs. I got a brown laurie style (short and kinda flicky) and a long blonde Stevie style. Will have to upload piccies. Still I think I've found the right balance now. At first I couldn't decide what image I wanted if that makes sense but now I've decided to take each day as it comes. Somedays i wear my hair, other days my head scarves and occasionally I just walk round al natural. Only problem is I'm patchy, I think in some ways I'd just look better bald rather than having the 'world map' look.

I used to say I had a world map look! And now I'm just about bald (three hairs left, literally) - and I miss my patchy hair. Cool about the hat though, sounds like you got a good deal. Too bad that so many people think we're sick. Lack of education, I think. I am finally at the point where I can talk about my alopecia and help people understand, but that's new in the past couple years. There were 10-12 years when I wasn't there yet. Anyway, have a great day and thanks for sharing your news, the good and the bad.
