Can any of you help me for a great cause, GOAL.
I’m trying to complete an auction lot for our forthcoming fundraising dinner. I have VIP tickets for Westlife and afternoon tea in Westbury for 4. I’m looking for a city centre salon to donate hairs x 4 to complete the lot 🙏

Hurts even more now! Ciara’s perfect race. Mostly likely cheated out of a podium place and a global medal. This hits hard.
