The revenge of the stripey socks - a DFW adventure

Pippilongstocking

morning all

Huge hugs for MR LT xxxxxx

PAD to the evil one - hurrah almost at 500

Just sent ex hubby vile email after recieving a horrible one - he's a bluebottle.

I own a squeezy tub of vaseline hand cream (the only moisturiser I own - um well actually aside a wee bit make up - the ONLY face product I own)

Slapped some on face this am in the spirit of hte new moisturising.

I am not much of a girl - so its a big start for me

LT am now shamelessly wearing earrings to bed therefore I save time in the morning!

Morning all!

Morning!

((((((((((((((((Lemon Tree))))))))))))))) Oh dear:( what bad news, and how annoying being left on a message and you having to tell OH How rotten

I think you're right to start small, and moisturiser is a good place to start! I reckon it really does make a difference I started moisturising my feet with a nice smelling lavendar and chamomile thing when I went to bed a few months ago, and they're lovely now, and I'm in the habit of doing it every day! So go all of you!

My habit for this week (and this is rather embarrassing) is brushing my teeth properly I always brush them, but mostly just a quick in and out (!). I've also got several fillings... so now I'm brushing for two minutes (timed!) morning and night - and they already feel a bit less sensitive (not to mention cleaner - see, I told you it was embarrassing).

Gosh, the secrets we reveal to 'strangers' on the internet, hey??

Good luck with your moisturising, I bet just taking time to do something nice for yourself will perk you up no end

And Fay, Evil Edna is being well beaten into submission! Yippee!

Just discovered (although I did have an inkling) that Darwins mot is slightly overdue - as he's due his tax tomorrow- whoopsie

Phoned the garage so he's in being 'seen' to at the mo.....they had a space - when I got there they said 'it'll be dun when its dun lass' - reassuring? um NO?

Outcome of the MOT will inform whether or not I tax him tomorrow - might take him off the road if he's needing lots done.

Update later

Cheery i've started with my feet as well, and gave them a tidy up and moisturise last night, so that feels better.

OH rang up today for feedback on his interview and it seems like he missed out by 1/2 a point on the marking scheme, so if anything happens with other person he's next in line. Now i don't advocate there being something dodgy in anyone's past but i hope the candidates has something so OH can be offered the job (sorry i know this is mean! very mean!) It's made OH feel better that it was so close and boosted his confidence a bit which is good.

Fay well done for the earings, i have to confess i've had mine in for years, i do take them out occasionally to clean them, but not every day.

can i suggest Evening primrose oil to those of us who suffer from PMT, it's a very good balancer of the hormones and helps the OH's get away with a little less grief each month.

That's quite a reassuring confidence boost LT! (although I know what you mean about being mean - it's ever so wrong but ever so tempting to hope for these things!) Good luck

Not so reassuring about Darwin though - bah!

Pips_Mum

Oh no!
I hope Darwin is OK

Lemon_Tree

how is delightful Darwin? did he pass his test?

Pippilongstocking

Delightful garage decided at 4.50 when I phoned that they hadn't started him yet and they said to phone at lunchtime tomorrow

Waves to LT exasperated!

PS do they do evening primrose oil by the tonne? ( i guess it would be a cubic metre being liquid...doh)

Tough times....... and hugs to all....... sorry about Darwin, Fay, and LT, I understand too about wanting something to happen so your OH can have the job - and it isn't always a bad thing either - maybe the person with a half more points got offered another job, or they got a chance to go on a course they really wanted, all sorts of things.

Cheery Daff - I *so* know what you mean about the teethbrushing - I do it now cos they'll fall out if I don't and the hygienist also recommended twice a week with ordinary cheap bicarbonate of soda - that might help too.

Never mind by the tonne, do they do it intravenously? :rotfl:
