    I have epilated my underarms in the past, wasn't exactly pain free but wasn't agony either. I am too much of a chicken regarding waxing. Bad memories of my mum and dad ripping plasters off cuts on my hairy legs :eek:
    Have asked hubby to pick up some coke and lemonade on the way home as I fancy something alcoholic. Fear not I am not turning to demon drink but feel I've earned this tipple and with the weather being so nice.......well it would be rude not to ;)

    No idea what we're doing the weekend. H should have booked his blessed scooter in for repair so would be a trip to drop that off. I fancy packing a picnic and heading out to the countryside.
    I have a gift for enraging people, but if I ever bore you it'll be with a knife :D Louise Brooks

    Exactly Bitsy, it WOULD be rude not to. I'm outside with the lappy and a glass of pinot grigio blush. The sun is still quite high if you sit in the suntrap and I am :rotfl:. Oh is going to be cross that I've hit the wine so early but I dont care, celebrating my freedom from the chains of employment, today was my last day, so I just had to, didn't I?:rotfl:

    ETA when the post arrived today it was all good. Gorgeous. pink and exactly what it said on the tin. And football things too which were impressive xxx

    That was a bad attempt at being cryptic
    Edit AGAIN to add, unemployed at present, have to be employed to support habit lol

    Right, I won't add that to my list of 4 weekly tortures then :D

    I think about it each time I go, but've never done it... now I know why

    Thanks x

    It hurts the 1st time TMIF but gets easier honestly and you can always go down the epilator route,

    To change the subject has anyone been to see the Ladyboys of Bangkok, its a cabaret for family (teenage kids) not a sex show lol

    Fantasia, what a lovely way to celebrate. And that is definitely the way to look at it. A whole new chapter to start.

    Cheery DR Daffs - I am indeed celebrating. Its Friday, its sunny and I am on the way to a new life in Austria. OK, I can say it out loud I have had the offer accepted on the house , I wont be moving there immediately but my lifelong ambition of living in Europe is now within touching distance. The energy of this thread is contagious and it has helped me to focus on what is important in life. A very long way to go and believe me I will be hooked to the MSE wagon for a LONG time to come but sometimes its worth taking a risk.

    Cheers all, enjoy that tea Daffs.

    This is great - I am very pleased for you. May all of us manage to crystalise our dreams and focus on achieving them. But please don't disappear and keep your membership in the Matrix.

    Go Cheri, Gooooooooooooooooooo, Yay that totally rocks, New Life here you come, that soooooooo tocks, see it can be done, gives me hope, we should all raise a glass to CHERI, because she worked for it, because she followed her dream, and encouraged me to follow mine. Intoxication by the exhuberance of our own verbosity to follow shortly.

    Good for you girl, eaxample to us all xxxxx

    Bitsy - My Mum always said I love you but I don't always like you - In my book that goes for life too, we can't always love it ;)

    Cricket - Really feel for you. I wanted 5 children by the time I was 25 and here I am at 51 with none. Different reasons to you, but it took me well in to my 30's to accept it was not going to be. BUt I make up for it by being the bestest Auntie I can be :D

    Bitsy - Nothing wrong with still being at home as long as you are happy being there. I lived with my Mum until I was almost 30 :D

    Claire - Sorry you are still so sore and that Jack hasn't healed properly yet :( I think you just need to get the windows open, I always love this time of year when you can get the air flowing through and get rid of the musty winter smells.

    Happy Birthday Master MG :D ALthough I suspect you are tucked up in bed by now!

    Hugs and positive thoughts to those that need them & those that don't even know they need them :)

    HA! Thanks but I am not there yet. The offer is accepted. I am informed that once that is accepted it is binding in law so the house will be mine. I still have some difficult weeks ahead but thanks to all of you on here but particularly discussion and comment with you Fantasia then I built my confidence and decided to go for it.

    Claire, so what if the house smells of dog, some people's house smell of currry, some of husbands who work in garages, some of babies who keep puking and poohing there is nothing worse than clinical smelling houses to me because it says that life is not happening. . Jack is old, but he is loved so that is all that matters.

    Hugs to Bitsy, Crickett and all others that need them. All I can say is at 46 with no children (I always said as a Kid that I wouldn't have children but as I said to my Mum aged 44, it didnt meant that I didnt want them I think I just knew that I would never have them) I can relate to feeling a failure but that was because I thought it was what was expected once I got married.Crickett, like Maty Moo I concentrate on being the bestest Aunty ever and so I get the best part of being able to play, talk, share things that they would never do with their parents so I think I am much better off. Being a (single) parent is one of the hardest jobs ever MG, I could never be a parent let alone a single parent and I am in awe of anybody who manages to do it.
    By the way - next time you think of you not being entitled to abundance think of JK Rowling.
