Floss

I love the bracelet maman, it's valuable, but in my view I'd rather wear it & see it every day than only once in a blue moon. I have a diamond pendant that I just don't wear 😕

Floss, meant to say your bracelet is gorgeous.

  I have been stunned recently to find out how much a couple of mine are worth.  I don't know what to do with them if I'm honest.  I never wear them because I can't manage the fastenings myself (the downside of living alone😟).   

I have been sleeping on  and off most of this afternoon, just couldn't stay awake.  Probably the after effects of my cold. I did feel that it had drained me somewhat.  Hopefully I will have an energy surge soon.  Maybe I'm solar powered and am just missing the sun.  😂🤣

wednesday......had to chuckle about the coats. Not quite 20. 😉.  They aren't all for me, some are stock for sale. Will just see how it goes.

I had quite a lot of jewellery after Mum died.  I didn't want to wear it as it wasn't my style.  After a few years I took it to a small local jeweller and swapped it for pieces for to my taste.  It's nice now because I can wear it and still think of Mum.

Floss your bracelet is lovely.

I have been thinking of investing in some jewellery in the future , as I can pass if onto the children and they can be free to sell it or exchange it for something to their taste like Mrs Porridge.

Maman - we were considering Dorset and Sussex but if he kept working it would have to be the Essex coast. I don't think he even minds working longer but it was me who got the idea in my head for him to retire early. I was saying we could just move somewhere a lot cheaper and live off the equity in our house but it wouldn't be near the sea. Hmm, I have all year to think about it anyway.

I was watching a vegan YouTuber yesterday and she mentioned putting on perfume and earrings every day during this pandemic to make herself feel more feminine. I used to have the brand of perfume she had and I think I will place an order from some from Amazon today. I find wearing earrings annoying as I listen to music on my headphones when I'm out and they get all tangled up.

Oops, I got a little carried away and ordered perfume, mascara, scented candles and bath bombs.

What perfume did you get WEDNESDAY? I sneeze at most, but can handle Clinique Happy, as it's quite fruity n mild.Anything with any vanilla or coconut notes, makes me feel really sick  
Candle wise, I love the Yankee black cherry one ❤

It was the Pacifica Malibu lemon roll on. I prefer fruity scents.

hi everyone......just a quickie, I've got a frozen shoulder again, so not much typing.  

All is well though, on the whole, just a bit fed up. 😂.  It's cold, damp and starting to drizzle a bit so I'm having a bit of a housework and laundry day.  Then I'll take it easy.  

Wednesday......I've been watching food programmes too.  I am really struggling with WW  at the moment so have decided to forget about dieting but just ensure that I stick to pure Paleo.  I've been silly, eating grains and dairy and I'm paying for it with tiredness, headaches and joint and muscle pain, sneezing, itchy eyes. 

Time to start eating clean again. 😉. 

Have a good day y'all.

I remember wearing Happy in my student days. I’d put it on before a big a night out and wake up in the morning hungover and it’s all I could smell. Those were the days!

Apparently, I can’t smell musk.  I was trying on some perfume in a shop and just couldn’t smell it.  The SA said that some people can’t smell musk.

Ouch! Frozen shoulder is very painful LL. I had it some years ago and was just on the point of having cortisone injections when I went on holiday. I found that  the exercise from swimming seemed to help . I mentioned this to the GP when I got back and he signed me up for physio. One was 'climbing' my hands up the wall IYSWIM🤔. The other was holding a towel or sash vertically  behind my back as if drying myself. Sorry for such poor explanations but there might be some form of gentle  exercise you can try.

Both exercises and more are in the above clip. 😊

Sussex and Dorset are  very nice but expensive options Wednesday but it is cheaper away from the sea even in those areas. I suppose it depends how much downsizing you'd have to do to withdraw sufficient equity. Plenty of things to think about. 😊

It's so much milder here today. It's the first day for some weeks that I haven't worn a thermal top. If I can motivate myself enough I might even get out for a walk! 🤣
