    In olden days I am led to believe that parasols were De rigeuer (excuse my French. ) in the hot climate. Surely there is a fashion outlet that sells them.

    The ultimate photophobes would wear a wetsuit wherever they came in to contact with the sun. That is according to the tittle tattle of gossip magazines.

    I have a couple of parasols. They are useful still if one doesn't mind lookinga bit of a tit. I would rather look like a tit with a parasol at an out door event than be the wrinkly person, with skin li,e a reptile and with an even bigger skin cancer risk......if only i could hold one and garden!

    I have wavy hair, middle son has dead straight hair that all the girls are jealous of especially when they ask him if he straightens it every day and he replies no, it's just the way it is.

    We are still cooing over the new arrival, she really is a wee cutie but there was initial worry as she had to be helped in the first few minutes of life as he breathing was not good. The hospital have put it down to the speed of the delivery (my mum called me at 11.38 to say that my brother and wife were about to leave for the hospital, on arrival at shortly after 12, she was only 3 cms and told she was not in proper labour, and at 12.45 she had the baby).

    But she is home now and doing well.
    We made it! All three boys have graduated, it's been hard work but it shows there is a possibility of a chance of normal (ish) life after a diagnosis (or two) of ASD. It's not been the easiest route but I am so glad I ignored everything and everyone and did my own therapies with them.
    Eldests' EDS diagnosis 4.5.10, mine 13.1.11 eekk - now having fun and games as a wheelchair user.

    Here it is, there was something like it had been on the market for over 6 months (fair enough), at 3 or 4 different agents (err, ok) and always at the same price. Everyone (else) loved it (to be fair I was the only person who didn't see it in person), and an offer was put in. I told them the above, and said that I thought they were holding out for the asking price regardless. Offer was rejected and agent came back saying they were looking for the asking price.

    Its still on the market (think it has been reduced, but I've made it clear I still don't think its a good idea).

    Hahahaha. A bit of a tit, not a toral loon. I don't think it would go with my evening gowns or terrible jersey shorts.

    My other gardening outfit of the summer is a simply ghastly skirt i don't know how i got. Its too big and moves a lot unless i wear it back to front, and its far too short. But its pretty fabric. The nettles don't mind if i look a sight.

    BBC covered cashback shopping today:
    http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-18207304
    The reporter spoke to me but I said I understood that the model required you to wait for the money and that waiting a fw months for a few hundred quid that I wouldn't otherwise have had was not a problem and she decided not to feature me in the piece. I should have said that if ?I couldn't have the money straight away then I would rather not have it at all and no doubt I could have been in the paper again.

    I know almost 100% of the NP take the Daily Mail so next chance to see family Michaels will be on Wednesday, again talking about cashback....did I tell you I was theprofessionalshopper - or I will be if I ever get round to starting my blog.
    I think....

    I'm surprised that tit gets through the swear filter

    If that's a coach house then I am the queen mother.

    I do like the "what the owner says" bit, although it would be better if it said "we can't wait to leave, the house is a shoddy box made out of ticky tacky and the neighbours are feral" or something like that. As it is, it sort of reminds me of "news in briefs" on page 3 of the sun. I.e. made up bollox!

    It let me have teat accidentally and nipple recently.

    Its a stupid filter, the thing with not having swear filters is it helps filter the erudite and worth listening to from the rest.

    Boob gets through i think. :)
