I suggest trying substitution thereapy Kitty. Find something that you really love that is more beneficial and eat that when you think about chocolate.

It’s interesting you say that Cassandra as, although I have only used the anti-bug lotions a few times I have found that my nails are suffering. I will find my bottle of nail oil, which I seldom use.

I remember ‘Farmers Weekly’ here as my father used to get it when we were little. I grew up in a farming community and am not too far distant now so I would still have a look if I came across one.

I don’t read magazines much these days as books are comparitively cheaper and many magazine type of articles are available online. I have accumulated a large pile of fictional books to read. Our local book exchange is very good, so I have swopped out many of my old ones.

I used to drink far more than I do now. It’s years since I couldn’t walk in a straight line. Live without? Probably but maybe not likely.

I do wonder with these people who stockpile. They will be sitting at home not exercising chomping their way through a mountain of cakes making themselves fatter and fatter. More fool them!

Good for your Kitty 🙂

That’s generally true but in some places – the health service for one – women are better placed. I have come across men who, otherwise domineering, were actually afraid of women in a higher position. I found that using my strengths helped, even though I am not the go ahead and aim for the top type. It tends to take strong willed women to get to…[Read more]

Our art group has posponed meetings until the end of the month as there are vulnerable members, but this was before the current lockdown. We should be meeting again but I don’t see it happening before things are safe. This is pretty much an informal group but we do hire a room at a village hall.

Oh no Cassandra! It doesn’t come in easy bits does it 🙁

I feel for you Cassandra as my father had dementia of some form before he died. The system had no real answer and he was passed from piller to post with veiled threats all over. Luckily (?) he was too far gone to have great negative effect but the rest of the family were really upset. Luckily in latter days he was in a ward on a unit which was…[Read more]

Bookmarked! Thank you Kitty. I will have a browse.

I love Creme eggs (Cadbury’s), but the price tends to put me off such that I seldom look so not often tempted now. I remember being on holiday a few years ago. A local shop where we stayed had obviously bought a lot of short / out of date stock. Eggs were 19 pence each – I feasted lol.

Maybe I am a bit like my sign (Aries), but I don’t take must notice. I have felt, to some extent, that some people tend to be governed by what they read into being ruled by that interpretation. I think, with Chinese, I was the year of the Horse but I have no idea of it’s significance anyway.

I gauge my weight by a tartan skirt I have which I love too. I had to originally take it in as a bit too large to fitting perfectly, so now if it is tight I am eating too much lol

I am glad you recovered from the fall well Testdummy. It seems fairly common among the young as I have come across several such occurrances over the years.

My preference is for things to be made ambidextrous as, although principally right handed, I do think how I can do things efficiently so may be holding two things at once. I do not defer to…[Read more]

Sometimes it is just intuition which stops us doing something. Instinct is something to use. Being fairly chatty, I tend to say hello at least and, if it seemed the thing to do (instinct / intuition too – probably subconciously from his body language) I would quite likely ask if he had changed his job or something. At least then I might have a…[Read more]

Yes it is a not inconsiderable extra expense. A good comfortable bra takes some finding and is usually somewhat more expensive. I tend to stay with the same brand when I have. Luckily I don’t require the extra support of an underwire so usually wear cotton non-underwired too.

I cannot even remember the last time I was in McDonalds, but I used to really like the burgers. When our son was at home he liked Kentucky Fried Chicken so that was a treat for us. Nowadays it is mainly home cooked food but we do seem to end up with various cakes and other fattening things which have been radically reduced in the Co-op.

One of my…[Read more]

Thank you for the update @TestDummyCO. I suppose we should be expecting something like this 🙁

I remember that, before I was issued with a laptop computer at work I used a destop daily. With our work we had some trackballs in stock as well as mice, and I preferred these as they did not require much desk space as you don’t move them in use. Although I always left the settings for right handed use I used to position mine on the left side…[Read more]
