I'm kinda vintage, 40's and 50's mostly! Mainly re-production but a couple of genuine bits

No UU to report yet but on the plus side, no ins either

That's so cool! I use to live with a girl who was very dita von teese like and loved to collect 40's style heels and bags - love!!

Good luck for today Willowbee.

Question for today; (if it's not too cheeky to ask 2 days running )
Do you turn the map when you're trying to read it or do you hold it the "right" way up and then figure out your location even if it's upside down (IYSWIM?).
Me, I turn the map, it's far easier to navigate when the map is facing in the direction you're going in!

Sat map type of gal over here :rotfl:

UU: Ok, I know this isn't technically a uu or even a TA, but.....
I finally let go of hoarding nail files lol! I just opened my drawer and found 15 nail files...why on earth did I accumulate so much? So TA they go! I'm I am going to keep 5, because they were gifts to me from friends, but the rest were TA Can I count that as 1 UU?

Happy birthday for tomorrow fiasco

I have a map in the car,but for wiggly places I don't know I tend to use the sat nav in my phone. Don't use it for things that I don't have to though cos my sense of direction is pretty good usually... I'm dyslexic a bit and worse with numbers so I tend to rely on road signs and place names more than anything else, can make for interesting outings sometimes....

Another UU: have just had a bath and used up the last of my bottle of Philosophy Pure Grace Shower Gel in it. WBA. Love this fragrance and Amazing Grace equally. Am going to try not to open anything else now before I go away and use up some of the many bottles that Emma seems to have on the go as I have a big bottle of L'Occitane Verbena to take with me.

I am a map turner too.

Rather off topic, but has anyone read the book of The Woman in Black? Just finished reading it and thought it was excellent, had already seen the play (but not the film yet). Also has anyone read any of her (Susan Hill) other books and are they as good.

I loved The Woman in Black and read another one of her books. I think it was called The Various Haunts of Men. I really didn't enjoy it. The pacing was very slow and just didn't hold my attention. I put me off reading anything else of hers.

Valm I have also been loaned 50 shades too. Not started reading it yet though.

Happy Birthday for Thursday. What was in your Elemis gift set? Nosey moi? Surely not. lol x

.

:rotfl: not at all.....I am getting the 400mls of cleanser and toner with PCMC :T

Thanks for the pre birthday wishes. Got a lovely day planned and I am heading to Jamie's Italian for my birthday meal.

Willowbee

Hello!

THANK YOU for all the lovely good wishes, good lucks and hugs! I needed them! :A

It was a very long day (I had a nap in the afternoon to cope). It went well though. The nicest thing was that we all gathered for lunch afterwards and it became about strengthening family ties. We went to the place my Grandmother chose for her 100th birthday so that people would have a nice memory to think about after the funeral. Of course the day was very odd in some ways, but that's normal I guess? My bro thought he was going to faint at one point which is totally unlike him! :eek:

I'm waiting for sleep meds to work and it has been funny reading how everyone copes with maps. :rotfl: I have to turn maps around. I'd be like Joey in Friends when he tries to step into the map if that were possible! :rotfl: I can navigate ok but it works best if I draw my own version of the route before a journey - a real idiot's guide type of map!

Dolly - I love the sound of your style Do you do your make up/hair in a retro way to go with your clothes? (I hope you haven't already answered that! :rotfl:)

Question for tomorrow?

Do you have any pets and what creature would you like to have if there were no practical limits (and the animal was perfectly well cared for and happy?)

We have three grey cats and a snake. We also have lots of chickens (40, maybe? It seems to change a lot).

I'd quite like a llama. That's not impossible...In the impossible dream scenario I'd have a family of meerkats. Or a snow leopard. Or a very nice horse. (Ha! I need to go to sleep. The meds make me feel a bit drunk and I prob won't remember typing this tomorrow). Elephants are lovely, of course...(Someone stop me before I name every creature in the animal kingdom! :rotfl:) BEDTIME.

PLEASE FEEL FREE TO CHOOSE A BETTER QUESTION! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Balance Me Pure Skin Face Wash, 50ml - WMBA, i thought this was just 'ok'......not the wonder product everyone seems to be raving about! Lovely smell though!

Good morning everyone, happy thoughts and hugs to all.

Fiasco, I hope that you have a lovely birthday.

Happy holidays too, to those taking them soon.

Willowbee, so pleased that all went well yesterday, I love the way that good funerals turn into a family strengthening occasion, remembering all the happy and funny things about the one who has left us. Also the fact that physically the extended family is together, the type of gathering that happens infrequently in most familys i.e. weddings, funeral, "big" birthday or anniversary celebrations.

Animals:- Well we have a border collie, she is tri-colour and called Maddie, she will be 3 on Wednesday and we adopted her when she was 8.1/2 months old, she is gentle and sometimes very loving and on occasions a total nut case and she is loved to bits by OH and I, and I should add, by everyone that gets to know her, my elderly Ma who likes animals, but is not daft about them like me, even bought her a Christmas present:D

In my fantasy world I would also have a Springer Spaniel (I still miss my last one terribly), 2 donkeys and an assortment of hens, in my fantasy world they would be totally safe from Mr Fox (one of who has devoured one of my SIL's hens and a brood of good sized chicks). Foxes are beautiful BUT I hate the slaughter they carry out. Hedgehogs too are on my list, also Slow Worms. A less exotic selection than yours Willowbee, but I too adore Elephants.
