I have just ordered some new boots. Not the Edwardian ones I would like to have, just some for day to day wear in the winter. I looked in town yesterday but the shop I looked for has changed hands. Their styles were far less interesting and mostly lower quality. I prefer to buy shoes that last. They didn’t do the larger sizes in many so I decided…[Read more]

I am glad you are on the mend Cassandra 🙂

I do hope you keep moving on Kitty and improve your feeling of things. I know a little bit as quite a while ago (10 years), at work, I found things so stressful that I was getting very depressed and going downhill. It was not helping homelife either. The boss was reluctant to accept any issue and when I visited my doctor he referred me through.…[Read more]

One thing I try to do is smile and just say something to people. I know from experience that a few words can mean that people acknowledge you are there and notice them. They make a difference!

Working in healthcare gave many a time when this subject got very complicated. There have been people. I will just remember, but keep my eyes open.

I like the oversized sweaters too Mamie. They are ideal to wear if it is cool with leggings and when it gets really cold a long sleeved tee underneath layered into the leggings to keep out the chill. I often wear thicker fleecy tights instead of leggings too as they also keep my toes warm.

I agree somewhat with you here. I tend to wear leggings, or even thick tights rather than jeans as I find them far more comfortable. An advantage of being a woman is the freedom to wear less confining clothes. I do wonder sometimes why so many don’t.

Hi Dudette! Hello and welcome. I am not sure if I can add to Cassandra’s advice, given that you have already seen your doctor. Things can really run around in circles with these things so keeping it simple can give you chance to take things in.

LOL, a bright start today Cassandra! I don’t think I would likely be seen wearing any of those Kitty as I would be unlikely to spend that kind of money for a one-off occasion like a party. Otherwise I do like to dress up. It is unlikely, in my social circle, but I don’t need too much pushing for a laugh. I have looked, and am going to look further…[Read more]

I agree with that Mamie! These days many forms of advertising, no matter how legitimate, use that tactic.

Another common tactic which takes legitimate almost to scam are the getouts (T and C’s apply etc) at the end of adverts and sales contracts. They tend to be rushed / glossed over / in little hidden print. Almost anything to disguise them.…[Read more]

It makes interesting reading Cassandra. I have wondered for years about moving to New Zealand. More a case of where I would feel I would like the most. It could be far worse where I am. I find your note of news coverage interesting. I watch or listen to far less news now as not only do they fill it with politics, but repeat it again half way…[Read more]

I think it’s not an easy thing as they are not contradictory. Maybe I am the optomist but I think everyone is beautiful in their own way and attractive to someone.  Being a supermodel may be nice but can you imagine the stress of just a little blemish? Intelligence is perhaps a little more complicated as most people probably live at their level…[Read more]

Wire loop? That sounds nasty Cassandra. People sometimes do such stupid things! I hope you soon get to the root of the pain although with these sort of things from accidents it often is not obvious and takes months or more to heal completely. I fell and hit my face several years ago now and still some pain occasionally returns.

I know that some…[Read more]

I love looking attractive too! Everyone does really have their own style but some do tend to follow the dictates of fashion to the extreme. Personally I try to balance things as, having an fairly active lifestyle, rugged clothes are more practical at times. Even the garden can be a bit hostile to skirt, bare legs and sandals. It does not stop me…[Read more]

I cannot better your reply Cassandra.

There are some interesting shoes there! It’s good for a browse. Thank you Kitty 🙂

I don’t know if it is the same thing Kitty but I had an experience the other day which was similarly good and bad. I was in town and bumped into someone I had been friends with for several years online but had never met. We got on really well and were chatting for so long that I only got half the shopping done. For some reason later I felt really…[Read more]

Better the horrors at night than a nasty reality in day! Seriously Kitty, I am no expert but if you explore yourself you may well feel better.

Similarly my look too without the dogs.  I sometimes wonder how I look as I tend to wear fairly thick socks, turned down over my jeans or leggings to keep out some of the beasties. The leggings are a bit thin but I can cope Ok with the odd nettle sting. Sometimes I look in horror at the larger patches though lol. I used to wear sandals in the…[Read more]

Good luck x
