    Too right they can wait! You all saw the resignation letter does that not indicate I have a hell of alot on my plate. This underscores that I made the right decision.

    Mellymoo, did you email the letter, or send it by snail? If you emailed it, I guess they want to talk about your resignation. If you sent it by snail, they probably won't have got it yet.
    I would suggest that while you are waiting somewhere today, at the hospital, or wherever, you send them an email saying where you are and that you cannot phone them until you are free.

    Oh yes, I enjoy the scrubs too & I have so many to use now :D

    Very, very many years ago I read in a Sunday paper a review of a Japanese spa massage called something like the worm massage where the journalist was a bit disappointed to find that these mysterious worms were something she produced regularly at home with a good scrub with a face cloth in the bath. Like her I get what I now call 'the worms' :o. With a good rub very regularly. Fir has never once had the worms. ( this is often the topic of conversation in our shared baths as we remain intrigued by this difference. :D it must be something like it being because he moisturises so darn well for his psoriasis and cannot scrub hard for the Same reason.

    Also many, many years ago I used to go to a local old-fashioned Turkish Baths as a treat from time to time. One of the optional extras was a 'body shampoo' where you lie on a slab and are scrubbed from neck to foot by a lady assistant. Despite my always washing well at home, and despite having had a soapy shower and at least two goes in the steam rooms and other showers before the 'shampoo', I was always appalled to see how much dirt she got out of my pores with the scrubbing. She'd say it was normal, and the whole point of the body shampoo!

    I assume that's what you mean by the 'worms'?

    Unfortunately, there are very few of those old-fashioned Turkish Baths left these days, certainly none near me now, and saunas just aren't the same.

  • I want worms! No idea what they are but I want them! Having said that I am permanently covered in moisturiser like Fir for psoriasis so perhaps I can't have them.

  • WaS - I would say Watership Down a "watch with care" as there are some scary bits, but maybe WaSP can fast-forward those for you or tell you when they are over? I just absolutely love the story of "end triumph" but not sure how well some parts would work with us on here :)

    (Not meaning to be insulting! I'm just clumsy with words!)

    I think it's just that everyone I know seems to think it's such a sad story, when it really does work out OK for the rabbits in the end, despite everything that happens :)

  • I think it is actually quite an upsetting film, but it all works out well.

    I agree with the 'watch with care' advice.

    I'm not a fan of water ship down I'm afraid. I know what heartbreak star is saying but .....its too easy to get hooked on the bits that are hard to get over I think.


    Well, today so far hS been not so bad as I feared :). I didn't get to the supermarket and nor is my meal plan what I want it to be but its left me with a clear plan for tomorrow, and not an over rushed one.
