    Afternoon Everyone,

    Visited my mom yesterday at the Nursing Home. Had a good visit.

    I have to back again tomorrow and meet moms social worker there, so this visit may not be a good one.

    Speky Lucky you going to Berlin, even if it is for work. I want to go to Berlin.
    Beards I would say try it having a beard and see what you think, some men look younger with a beard some look older.


    Sending hugs to anyone who wants them.

    I agree.

    Youngest is trying really hard to grow his. He is 22 in a couple of days and its finally thickening up.

    Both my boys have beards.

    Afternoon all

    I am not that keen on beards. At a push I can cope with a neat, tidy, not too long, beard but I must admit to really disliking this current trend for a mass on tufty hair on the chin/jaw. I think that style of beard has a name but I'm not 'down with the kids' so no idea what it is?

    No other news to impart but hope you are all having a good day x

    Several of Youngests friends have neck beards. Not that i'm a fan personally but they might be useful to hide a double chin.:D

    Afternoon all
    Not had a very good night's sleep due to a visit from Dad yesterday for his tea. All I shall say about that is :mad:**!**:mad:. Even Mr Fix It has had enough and he's very level headed and calm during stressful times but he's been pushed him over the edge too. Yesterday you could cut the atmosphere with a knife, so Dad will be invited for Sunday lunch only from now on and we will see how things go.
    So today we decided to go out for the day, called in the garden centre and had a coffee, then later went to the chippy for our tea, so no cooking required. Came home to find elderly neighbour on the doorstep complaining that her family were not talking to her etc. and would I go round. Er no, my lunch is in my hand getting cold. So I've had enough, I feel so down and I can't cope with anymore negativity. We have enough worries of our own with Mr Fix It's illness and only DD and family seem to understand ( or care ). Apologies for this post but it is making me feel a little better to get it off my chest IYSWIM.
    We have the DGC tomorrow for a sleep over, so if I'm MIA I'm still around, hopefully :D. I'll have been "ing" ing too much. Craft-ing, x box-ing, barbie-ing, bak-ing etc...:rotfl:. Funnily enough I'm really looking forward to a bit of happiness, because that's what they bring :smileyhea, no strings attached !

    Speky I love a man with a well kept beard, Mr Fix It has has one for about 25 years.
    I love comps good luck with your visit tomorrow.
    NMLC thinking of your Mum
    Judi love the photo of your DGD.
    JackieO what's the saying .... "You're only as old as the man you feel ":rotfl::rotfl:
    Hugs all round to you lovely, thoughtful people.
