  • Oh now I REALLY like the sound of her - an accomplished bag holder - wonderful. I bet that she is a real no nonsense plain speaking kind of gal as well. As for the meno - well all I can say Lady is wait until it's your turn!!

    I only hope mine is like OH's

    One day she said.. "the was a strange cycle, I think I have hit menopause." and she never had another period ever

    I have conference calls starting at 13:30 today all the way to 10:30 with my only break from 18:00 to 18:30. It isn't like it is hard labour or anything but having people talk at me for that long is going to be a PITA and give me a headache. 3 things to be thankful for today:

    1. the mute button
    2. valium
    3. friend in the box

  • OK - 8 mins to the first conference call - time to put on the magic hat to give you strength and endurance.

    My meno was a bit like Mrs NL - however the mood swings and hot sweats continue to this day - and I said goodbye to Aunt Flo (as lucky calls them) over 4 yrs ago:eek:.

    Loving the yeti comments dear NL, you have made me go to bed with a smile on my face at how amusing they are. Barbers clippers :rotfl:

    Hope the conference calls weren't too bad

  • Well all I can say is that I can resist everything except temptation.......I am thinking of becoming a yogi - in my relentless pursuit of the long, strong lean skinny core I am going to try yoga. Now I do not have a yoga dvd, or mood music, or incense sticks, or dimmer switches or even scented candles, neither do I have a yoga mat however I do have a wii and am going to get into the zone. I intend to live a long and healthy life and not be a bent over granny with a stick. Go Me eh
