I should be feeling less sick by now, but I'm getting more sick - had to get off the train twice on the way home to throw up, and the last few days, I've been very sick indeed.

Anyone who is throwing up at all, let alone frequently, is entitled to whinge. Hope it improves soon, NDG.

It wouldn't be much of a party. One room, no heating, no food, no chairs, no table and the lights have blown in the kitchen 3'.

Also, no sounds, no music, no entertainment ... and a small portable TV with freeview channels.

Oh - and no booze. Only coffee is cheap Lidl instant and there's no tea.

Bring your own plates, glasses and cutlery then ..... I've not got those either

I've got some of these things, but in boxes/storage. I don't need glasses as I never have anybody round and I don't drink booze ..... I drink everything straight from the can, or from a mug.... I have 3 mugs.

... and you can bring a vacuum.... mine's broken, I need a new one. I'd ask you to bring a ladder so I can take the blown bulbs out .... but I've no spares anyway until I've got them out to find what fitting I need to buy.

It's a bit ... er.... basic here.

But there would be lots of nice people. And with all the NP squashed into one small room, the place would warm up just from the body heat. We can bring all the food/drink/plates/glasses etc, and we won't need a TV because we'll be too busy talking to each other.

It's not as though the basicness of your place would be a surprise to anyone who reads the thread. We would be coming for the company, not the decor and facilities.

Nobody'd come for the decor. It's artexed walls in a light nicotine-coloured paint..... and a granny carpet. The curtains covering the patio doors are too long by about 1/2" so they don't hang right and the pole is too flimsy for them really, so I have to touch them carefully for fear of getting a bill to fix it

Did you see my post to you about healgel? So far so good......not long enough to tell really.

Yes, thanks lir. Not in the UK at moment so will look into when I get back. I wanted to post thanks at time, but things had moved on about six pages.

Glad you are getting good results so far.

Incidentally, you've moved on in the mind of my auto correct, you are no longer lie, but bizarrely today you are lot, and ndg is msg. I can't bring myself to just call you lost, it sounds too sad.

Justifiable whinge.

How long will he be away for Passover?

I am applying for the position of NP inattendance if the nice baby arrives early:)

Just saw this ice cream parlour on CNN news. What a brilliant concept. I can't wait for it to come to the UK..

http://edition.cnn.com/2013/11/13/tech/innovation/smitten-ice-cream/

I don't eat much ice cream, it's never featured high on my "must buy" list - I either choke on the price of one, or eye up the special offer 1 litre of Smarties and think "Yeah, but you'll get fat eating all that".

But .... given a choice.... I could see me going round to the corner to a Mr Whippy van for £1 or so, than paying through the nose for some new fandangled gimick

I hate bad face days.

I rarely look in the mirror. I know I've got a face and I know where it is .... no need to look in a mirror as I can remember much better how I look than have that mirror tell me that the old woman looking back is me!

Lost isn't sad....its an adventure!

I love getting lost in woods, or Venice, or in back roads when I've tried a dodgy shortcut, and you see magical places you wouldn't find if you weren't brave enough to step of the main throrough fare and risk getting lost for a while.

I'd be jostling, but I don't think we'd get through the battalions of family

So e times rosacea just looks a bit...red. Other times its just a little sore....tight, very, very slightly burnt feeling, like you sat in the sun not all day but for half an hour too long I guess. (I don't get sunburn often so I am guessing), Mainly its the tight thing I feel. Like all the moisture has disappeared form my skin.
