Visitor gorn.......no Dea, not tall dark or handsome by any means but a lovely chap all the same.



The Queen is about 5' 2 - really tiny.

Sylvia
Thanks for the suggestion its the cramps that kill me worse than giving birth to triplets :-(

But I am at the stage that I will try anything

I am 5'3 1/2 that is very important that 1/2... or so it says on my really old passport..

I remember not wanting to put that my hair was red... so I put down chestnut... now that the red has faded and the white has crept in more and more (one hairdresser thought I had had frosting done) I was wondering if I should have piebald on my current passport....

Neigh I don't think I could hoof that .. just went and looked at passport.. they couldn't care less no place for colouring.

Persie

groooooooooaaaaaaaaaannnnn

Linda

remembering that cramps are caused by over-active contractions of muscles in the intestines ...............

I use Imodium Advanced caplets, which has 2 components .......

loperamide 2 mg

simethicone 125 mg .......... this relieves the other symptoms of gas, cramps and bloating.


It is an over-the-counter drug here, commonly available in all pharmacies.


Do read the directions very carefully though!

no, you're not the least little bit sorry :-D :-D

I was in ours (and Aussies) DIY store (Bunnings) today and there was all this wood in plastic and stamped in big letters on the side of it is:

IBS - Non - Structural Plywood..

That ought to do the trick.. plenty of fibre in your diet there n'est pas?

IBS .... is a company called Independent Building Supplies..

Morning Gins!

I will boil my egg and have sourdough soldiers..

Searching for one person's death and found the son's... I knew he was born in a Castle in Dublin .. he died in Sonnenburg-Neumark Penitentiary, Germany.

His mother's family spread themselves all over the place.. she was born in Kent.. one brother went to Canada at 16, Australia at 21 and then served in the Royal Army Medical Corps and died 1901 South Africa. Another brother died in Sierra Leone and several of the family spent time in India. They do have me going all over the place (there were 12 children though one died aged 1) without even leaving my armchair.

Just over half-an-hour ago, we heard a funny noise outside


couldn't make out what it was, so OH peered out the window.


Then he took a walk outside


a neighbour down the street was using a weed-eater on his front garden



It was 10:30 PM, and dark!



OH said he had some sort of torch to help him see what he was doing :-D :-D :-D :-D
