my nails are unpainted at present, but look quite good. I am keeping them a bit shorter as my left hand curls up tightly and the nails dig into the palm. yesterday OH used an oil and salt scrub to give me an all over exfoliate. my skin is now soft and smells of herbs. he massaged my feet. my toes are unpainted but the nails look really clean, well shaped with neat cuticles.i felt like he scrubbed the last of the hospital off me. it was lovely .
my oh and dd have been so wonderful over the last two months. I have never felt more loved. both of them have put me first time after time.
You sound as though you smell wonderful spirit. What a thoughtful treatment. Hard to believe that it's two months already. Your posts are pretty much back to your old level of clarity too, which is great to see.Please stay safe in the sun and learn the A-E of melanoma: A = asymmetry, B = irregular borders, C= different colours, D= diameter, larger than 6mm, E = evolving, is your mole changing? Most moles are not cancerous, any doubts, please check next time you visit your GP.

I'd not be wobbling up ladders at this time of night/dark.
It's not dark in the room. There are several switches for different fittings, so I can easily just switch off the one I'm putting the bulbs into.Do you know anyone who's bereaved? Point them to https://www.AtaLoss.org which does for bereavement support what MSE does for financial services, providing links to support organisations relevant to the circumstances of the loss & the local area.

Tyre performance in the wet deteriorates rapidly below about 3mm tread - change yours when they get dangerous, not just when they are nearly illegal (1.6mm).
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.0 -

I love your husband. He sounds like one of the good ones who like fir, just loves to love.
I'm glad you've felt loved and nurtured by both throught this. No less than you deserve. And I bet just what they want to do for you.
We're just about to have ablutions in some thing from the Dead Sea, then I think I'm using up some rather disliked unwanted gift passionflower body cream ( too sweet scented)0 -
Just watching the Strictly results show.
SPOILER ALERT
It's no longer funny that people are saving Judy Murray at the expense of others who can actually dance. Yesterday's effort from her was dire :mad:0 -

She is hard to warm to so I am not sure if I am an unbiased judge. Have to say the person who went home was probably the/one of the weakest dancers left.I think....0 -

It's a set of pine drawers. It's not far away. It was on at £0.99 and I clicked £2.00 30 seconds before, but somebody'd bid more, so it asked me for my top bid and I put in £5.05 - and I won it at £2.21
Quite exciting!
Now I have to work out what to do. It's collection only, so not sure whether to pay via Paypal or cash when I collect. See what he says in an email he'll no doubt send me.
I've had exactly the same question. Just send him an email and ask what he would preferIn my ebay experience, I'd say as the buyer the onus is on you to get in touch to arrange payment. Failing that, just pay by paypal; it shouldn't make any difference really.

If collecting (I usually only buy low-value on eBay), then I prefer to pay cash on collection, usually no more than £20-30.
If delivery, Paypal is the best option💙💛 💔0 -

I've always paid promptly by paypal, as you get extra protection. I arrange the collection afterwards. I've never known anybody cause trouble, but I only deal with people with good track records. Nobody's ever refused to demo what they're handing over, to show it works. For refunds, most people will reimburse reasonable postage. Everything's very civil because they want good feedback. The whole principle of ebay and amazon sales suits my feeling that nothing shouold end up in a landfill until we've squeezed every last drop of utility out of it.There is no honour to be had in not knowing a thing that can be known - Danny Baker0
