I see you are using wish.. does anyone also use Shein or dress lily? They have some great bargains on clothes..

Did you read the full unabridged version or the more modern version? I read the full one for my O’level and to be honest after a while there was a lot of nothing going on..The shorter version should be much better..

Im reading the time travellers wife at the  moment,I know its a film but OH wouldnt be able to follow all that jumping about in…[Read more]

In my experience, the same way she would handle it if this person was a man.

By saying clearly, I really like and value you as a friend and I hope thats ok with you because I cant commit to anything else.

The thing is  many people are huggy kissy touchy types.. My postlady is very affecionate lady, she calls me sweetheart and darling but I…[Read more]

I bought a hairband today… This is the longest my hair has been for about 30 years and it was blowing all over the place and getting in my eyes so Ive brushed it back and put a hairband on to keep it in place …OH is charmed and loves it…

Not sure Id call it enhancing.

I dont do nail treatments or make up but

I use moisturiser every day with a sun protector of 30 spf this means at 55 I have virtually no wrinkles.

Use body butter during winter to keep my skin smooth and soft as well as hand cream .. Do regular foot treatments.

I clean my teeth and use interdental brushes to keep…[Read more]

Three months is no time at all. Then there will be all the “first times” first birthday without him , first father’s day , first Christmas etc those days will be hard dont be surprised if you suddenly find yourself feeling very emotional on those days.

Continue to focus on positive things when possible and put yourself and your close family ahead…[Read more]

Maybe not my sort of film but to be honest I’ve been watching a french series on Netflix. Fire at the bazaar based around a real event. Very good and gripping…

I think it’s wonderful that we are all so different and we can all appreciate the styles that we wear and the reasons for that. I know I tend to dress in jeans most of the time but this is what suits my lifestyle, when I lived in London you would have found me in a lot of pencil skirts and rather high heels shoes this sorted my way of life back…[Read more]

Would you care to explain this to my 10 year old granddaughter..lol

My son just had to have a very detailed talk with her about dress and modesty..

He is not easily phased but he said this talk had him blushing a bit. He noticed that his daughter is getting near puberty and remarked that he would like her to always wear a vest or tshirt…[Read more]

Can I say ..it depends?

I mean running about the countryside in hiking books and a floral skirt is not really senisble is it? Quite apart from anything else the gnats and ticks would have a feest on my legs leaving me looking like a walking morse code message.

So for day to day life yes Im in jeans they are hardwearing, practical, can look nice…[Read more]

Good Luck.

To be honest I wouldnt go for confrontation. She is an expert in manipulation so you are bound to come away from it feeling bad about yourself as if you are the bad person.

Better to just begin to distance yourself remove them from your social media or say youre taking time off from any FB or twitter and then later open a new account…[Read more]

I think you are very wise to follow your diet and yoga @Lafr ..

So many people are just lounging around watching TV and some are not even getting showered I saw an article that said sales of personal hygine products, like deodorant have fallen sharply YUK… Being at home does not mean being dirty.

We have continued to get up at 6,30 to walk our…[Read more]

At worst this relationship is abusive at best its toxic , it really doesnt matter… if youre not happy and youre asking us for advice it means you know its worng.

Can I just say there is a huge difference between an honest, straight talking, taking no cr*p kind of woman and an abusive one. The first three are descriptions which in a man would…[Read more]

I know this sounds horrible but Im waiting … After about 3 weeks we should know if the infection rate is rising again. At the moment its falling with yesterday 45 new cases regestered in hospital and 27 deaths countrywide. In my province there has been only 1 death since may 2nd, 2 new cases and 10 people have left hospital…

So if it does go…[Read more]

I have short hair and it’s very thick so once it starts to grow it turns into a real mop.. I had it cut in February just before lock down here,  I’ve already put thinning scissors through it just to keep it a little bit under control but yes it’s growing.

last week’s lockdown eased and hairdressers here reopened ,of course there was a flood of…[Read more]

Very sunny and cheerful. I doubt you could feel sad wearing them.

@KitKatKitty  Keeping my fingers crossed for your friend that it really isn’t covered do keep us updated.

Indeed reading about how people are dealing with this in their own words is very different to hearing news articles , I think even when people talk to camera they dont really say what they think..

Many of the old peoples homes here have put up a special visiting room the resident enters from one end of the room or cabin and the visitor from the…[Read more]

So how is it all working out?

Here the intelligent lockdown is being eased slightly… Notice I say slightly but it seems that either the word slightly got mistranslated between Mr Ruttes mouth and the  ears of the people or their brains have shrunken during the lockdown because today (the first shopping day after easing) was an absolute…[Read more]

Here our ID is either a drivng licence or your ID card and everyone over 14 must have an ID card and one or the other must be carried at all times.
