Married a lot more times than that.

I wikied the film while watching it.... see who was still alive. Answer = none of them.

And her lovely old Aunty Em at the farm...? She committed suicide aged 81.

I have a biography of hers somewhere. I cannot remember it very well .

We save a big chunk of dh's holiday exactly to avoid this long haul.


There is no doubt uk needs more bank holidays,

Diana day?
William weekend?
Monarchy Monday?

I was staggered when I found out Australians get a day off for the Queen's Birthday.

We could have Bonfire Night off to celebrate.... and keep the Govt on their toes, lest they forget.

Good one.... it's shoved down our throats every year nowadays anyway.... might as well get a day off.

Two days. Its a big place, the states, with a big ego. Its a big place to be independent from.

that sounds tasty to me (and I don't have any allergies)

Sorry to hear about new food issues lir. Is it something else (ie tiredness/not enough sleep/pills at wrong time) rather than food as if food intolerance come and go it might be your body not being able to respond rather than you having the actual intolerance.

Didn't see this.

I'm always tired:o:D

I take pils am and pm (slow release and not slow release, but spaced)

The timing thing is why it was thought neurological ...and not unlike ibs. Intolerance is a surprise to me, and I think will have been to the GI, because we were all talking as if...well, it certainly won't be that but while there might as well do all of that in between other stuff!

I consider skimmed milk my 'safe ' food so I am shocked and surprised at lactose intolerance.

.

After I had a long term bout of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giardiasis in 2010 it left me lactose intolerant for a while afterwards, fortunately it has diminished and the main legacy is I drink mint tea.

There are lactase enzyme pills you can take before food which help, and I think 'drops' you can add to milk. I prefered not to take anything, but if the intolerance had continued I think I would have . I hope it passes off for you too.
