    In my younger days, I had a wedding hat (it was the time when everyone seemed to be getting married), goodness knows where it is now but I know I paid a pretty penny for it.

    I have lots of hats, they don't seem to date. Outfits do date and of course require matching hats.

    Don't tell me about it, DDs found a frog in the garden yesterday and despite direct prohibition decided to sneak it into their bedroom where they promptly let it get loose. They then got in to a state about having a frog in their bedroom whilst trying to keep it a secret.

    I eventually managed to catch it (they don't half move quick) but then spent the night with one or other DD screaming out every hour or so in a panic cos they 'saw/felt something move.

    :(


    Sorry Michaels that is such a cute story. It has made my day. I adore naughtieness...shows imagination and spirit.

    You should be thankful for the privilige of being tired due to such sweetie pies.

    I have a strong belief that sometimes you have to love them enough to let them go. It is a sad time though and I am sorry to hear it.

    All of a sudden, alcohol seems to be messing me about each time I have a drink. 1 glass of wine or a billion beers, it's the same. It's quite unpleasant, although not that horrible as ailments go.

    Gen you wrote of another concern a few days ago..make a list of all ailments and discuss them all. No manly not telling stuff to the Dr. Just do it.Please.

    I'll be eternally middle aged, then. Unless both my kids join some kind of weird cult that requires all its members to have a dozen children each.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    I'm wearing a hat in my pic on this very site!

    I looked you up..nice piccie and nice hat.

    I love hats and wear them quite a lot. In winter upturned hats - either a barbour type waterproof with a tweedy bow or a Blue Joules hat (new for Christmas from my SiL) occassionaly a beautiful hat I bought from Liberty about 20 years ago..but OH calls it my "feed the birds hat" as I look like the bag lady from mary poppins in it.

    In summer a ladies panama (although it is looking past its best) or a wallaroo breton hat...that I turn the brim up or down on...(just read the label on it and it says made in china..though it was amererican as there is a big Boulder-Colorado label in it too.)

    Hats do not suit me..but they keep me warm and dry in winter and I do not have to pfaff about with brollies. In summer they keep the sun off. I am a bit short and plump for brims..but the are practical...so look like the mushrooms in Fantasia.

    Recently I discovered that our cat had made an emergency litter tray out of a John lewis hat box that had a 'wedding' hat in it. Bye bye hat.

    If you are a "moley" or freckley person anyway, it's worth you and Mrs gen just making a note of your moles.

    The one on my neck was taken off after my husband noticed it had changed, so its definitely worth having another pair of eyes on the case. Sounds like Mrs G is well drilled in this and helped find the first one anyway of course.

    .

    One of my team has had melanomas removed. She is a moley person and has told me her husband has pictures of her hard to see places:o on his phone so that he (and she) can observe new ones and changes.
