Oh I HATE them there (I hate them anyway but.. well.. ).. your bra strap will cover it.. this is what I can never understand why do women have them on that part of their back when you are never ever going to be uncovered because the bra strap/vest strap will cover it.. Have it somewhere else.. even just a few cm in either direction.
Oh.. and don't have a piglet.. from a few feet away it looks like a cigarette butt-end.
:rotfl::rotfl: I'm hoping to have it done more towards my spine/neck, up high, but low enough that it will be covered when wearing a top/blouse for workDepending on how much it hurts I may get another one.
BUT I'm going to make sure that they can be concealed when necessary, so maybe my ankle, lower back, was considering having one done on my chest to one side, but I'm thinking maybe not such a good idea with planning on working in a school:rotfl::rotfl:
Just realised if I put my new tumbledrier in the kitchen I'll be able to retrieve the black shelving unit thats out there to put in the livingroom to put my files onMost expensive set of shelves I've ever bought :rotfl::rotfl:

I'm old enough to be your mum pigpen - although my DS1 is only two years older than yours - I'm just a late starter! I don't feel the age I'm supposed to be. I waver between 17 and 104, depending on the day...
Home today, as DD still not feeling well, so took her to the doctor's just to check she's okay. The doctor went to India last year, and they spent more time chatting about what they'd seen than what was wrong:rolleyes:
Level 3 in the kitchen. more or less, except cleaning the oven, as I've already done that this year. Also no ironing, as I'm with lil_me, I don't iron anything. I have however done half a mountain of washing, as DS2 goes to Normandy on Wednesday, and I still have half of DD's suitcase to wash...
Just dashing out to get bread, and then I'm going to play in the garden, as I've been very good today. I have a few plants in pots that really need to be found a space, although I know that any bare earth in this garden just means that something hasn't come up yet, and it isn't really an empty space. Except for the bit where I took out a large shrub, and I can't plant that until I have the trellis added to the top of the fence.
Dusty - what did you treat yourself to? I went in for beetroot seeds and growmore last week and came out with a fuchsia as well...And I still have to find room for all the seedlings I have coming along, although a lot of those will be going to the seedling swap on Sunday. I just have to make sure that I don't bring home more than I take.
hex - are you gardening this week?It is never too late to become what you were always intended to be0 -
Thanks Pigpen.:T0

Thanks G&B and pigpen, I'll have a look into pillows but hes always moving so not sure if he'd use it, might get one and try him.
Most of my list is done, pie for tea all done so can just wang it into oven later. Going to have a relax now before DS gets back up.
Going to keep a list of what I'de done so I don't feel like I've sat on my bum all day like I do most days:rolleyes: So positives done:-

I'm glad I've got some motivation back. It's always so much better flying than not flying. My head feels weird today - I ate too much 70% chocolate and it has the same effect as caffeinated coffee - makes my head feel all "sparky" and strange. Right off to mop the floor then out to shop to pick up some milk then collect DS from school. Catch you later.0 -
Hi everyone, back from doctors and collecting DD. OH has sleep amnea(sp) and is being referred to ENT and take it from there. Feeling like crap today, no motivation and i've a cold coming on.
I'm 26 but i have a habit of saying 24 don't know why it just stuck for some reason.
Ok someone give me a big KICK please i really need it.Sometimes it seems that the going is just too rough.And things go wrong no matter what I do.Now and then it seems that life is just too much.But you've got the love I need to see me through.:j :j0 -
Bread pudding was yummy, I haven't made that for ages.
It's finally stopped raining and is quite bright so I've taken the dog out. She's "passed out" by the computer desk now, her stamina isn't too great still. Bit like me....
Did some shredding and sorted through a pile of magazines, not much to chuck (they're not mine) but at least it's in one tidy pile now instead of three.
I'm trying very hard to be calm and feel positive but it's all uphill at the moment. I feel very stupid when I read how much other people have to put up with but I suppose we can't help how we feel sometimes.0 -
