Travelling On

I'm also really enjoying the reassurance that we are all different but similar in the low maintenance category. I am still chuckling about the reference to the septic tank! I stopped dying my hair because the colour shades I used went red and after I left it for a while my hairdresser remarked that my hair was in excellent condition and the colour suited me. BTW he is a barber and I go maybe every 2 months for a dry haircut for under £15.

Lovely stuff! - and has prompted me to go and change my earrings today. I might wear dangly gold amber as we on bar duty later

This is all really interesting, I think we are all low maintenance girls! I ride a bike so the people I mix with tend to not be particularly girly either.

I am usually to be found in jeans or jogging bottoms even though I have a wardrobe full of clothes, mostly dating back to when I had more money, energy and a social life

I wear 4 pairs of earrings, I am quite a greedy person :rotfl: I've just been for my annual haircut, I discovered that after years of paying £30-40 every 8 weeks that I could grow it and trim the fringe myself! I do usually wear concealer, blusher, eyeliner, mascara and lipstick when I'm going to work or out but never foundation. I cant wear jeans for work but I never look very groomed at all, I really don't have that sort of patience :rotfl:

Definitely all low maintenance, I love it - high maintenance on things like this is *not* a way I want to spend my time.

I am now up to over £800 Karmacat :T it would be more but I've now realised that I'm not very good at trading, I was doing quite well but then it went downhill so I am mostly just matched betting again!

But £800 is great! What I learned when I was studying to trade is that everyone has losing streaks, everyone - it's not for me to give you a mindless "keep going", though, it has to be something you do yourself. I never could, so I admire anyone who can. Come February, I'm up for new financey stuff, so I'll be there with you on the matched betting.

Dangly gold, very nice :beer: I think I'm going to pay at a proper hairdresser for a restyle, and then go to the cheapo walk-in hairdressers at my local city-by-the-sea. They've always been good.

Sadly, I've been in a bit of trouble today: I ate some tinned sweetcorn last night, and realised this morning that it gave me food poisoning This morning, I couldn't even keep water down It's gradually lifted, and I just had a small meal, the first for 24 hours. I made my porridge before I got sick, so thats in the bin I haven't been able to put the dw on, so I'll be having a small bowl of porridge tomorrow morning! Going to push the boat out now, and have a second cuppa tea.

Oh Karma! That’s rubbish. Hope you’re feeling a bit better this morning.

Really sorry to hear you were so ill, KC:eek:. I hope you're well on the way to feeling 100% better now:kisses3:

How can you be sure that it was the tinned sweetcorn that caused it? There seems to be a lot of sickness bugs going round at the moment, our local hospital had 2 wards closed to all visitors for a few days recently because of it:eek:. I know you've been enjoying more social interactions recently:j and maybe you picked something up from someone you met:(.

Thank you all for the good wishes I slept better (took a couple of paracetemol). Thought I might be ill this morning again, as I had another headache, but mostly dehydration I think, and weak tea has sorted that. I'm still tired, though and I'm off to bed again - healthy walk is *not* going to happen!

FS - yep, its an assumption - it could be other stuff. I don't think it is - I went to the V&A on Thursday, and I checked out a new Lidl on Saturday, both trips on the train. If you saw the precautions I take to avoid touching anything when I travel by train, you might back slowly away from me :rotfl: I always put my hood up, for instance, so my hair never touches the seat; if there's a button I need to push, I do it with my elbow or my coat cuff pulled up to shield my hand if thats not possible; when collecting my ticket from the machine, I use antibac gel on the finger thats pushed the buttons, and then over the back of the hand I use to pick the tickets up (because you get your hands caught on the surrounds); there are several other precautions I take if possible, but those are utterly consistent. If something's airborne indoors, I've got no more protection than anyone else, of course. But because of the timing and the acuteness, I think its the sweetcorn - a rusty tin bbe 08/2019. I only saw the rust as I was chucking it out
