  • Awwwww! They had badgers at the wildlife park we went to. There was a camera in their sett and you could see them snuggled up in a big, furry badger ball.

    This warm weather is a blessing and a curse. It's lovely to be out in the sun, but I am practically transparent (did anyone play Theme Hospital? I'm like the guys that lick yoghurt tops in that).

    I know what you mean. I say I make vampire look like it has a tan :rotfl:

    I go red then back to white. I was left on the beach as a baby and according to my mum look like I had been cooked alive!!!!!

    So I stay out of it. wear a hat and sunnies all the time in the summer.

    I too wear factor 50. need to get some for my face. Even though I wear make up all the time.

    I need a new hat though as I want something that is not a big floppy hat to wear with a dress. And I have baseball cap but want something different. Any ideas?

    Yours

    If you don't need both hands, how about a parasol rather than a hat. I love the idea of a parasol.

    I'm lucky, I usually go straight brown.

    That would go well with a nice summer dress. No idea where to get one from.

    I need a hat that is feminine but can be worn with jeans and a t-shirt. As I really not keen on baseball caps but I wear them as I need something.

    Yours

    Quick question for the less Luddite amongst us. I have signed up for a couple of webinars. My problem is that I have very little idea of how a webinar works, and other than clicking on the link at the relevant time, how am I meant to ask questions or hear what is going on?

    They are very pretty.

    Only thing is I know that I would be very self conscious and would think everyone is staring at me :(

    People will look at pretty things with pleasure, in my experience - think how much joy you would bring.
