Oh Nell,when I first arrived at the site, all I did was sit here every minute of the day constantly refreshing and refreshing the screen. It is just a shame that you appear to be so far from anything in the way of shopping centres and other things as it would help you immensely.
I know it is a pain and the drive is long but have you considered setting aside a couple of days during the week to go into town, even if it is just for coffee and a wander around shops, that way you are out and about around people.
I wouldn't wait to get your hair done, I would do that as soon as you are able and plan some other treats for yourself on that date, treat yourself to lunch and a movie (yes you can go alone, I have done it and I survived).
