Rita, you are not mean,you are a kind thoughtful person.

Evening all.
Astral cream is what I have used for donkeys years. I have tried some off the Avon range,but I was allergic to them,so went back to good old faithful.
I have also tried the latest Boots one,but that was when I was working,and able to afford to buy it.
Good luck with the diet Linda. Did you fall asleep when littlie went today.
Seems to me you and Marilyn could have been sisters in a former life,both
suffering from the same ailments. What you need is a good rest,and it's not so easy when you are still working is it.
Rita,get them feet up and rest them. And stop chasing them there workmen around. lol
Shelly what is wrong with little ones finger and toes.? Now you have got me worried,I hope everything goes well.
Hi Pauline,Yvonne, Maz,Liz. Lady And anyone I may have forgotten.

Yes she has been pretty nice to me today for some reason ?she said people talk about her behind her back but you (me) always tells her to her face. I said I dont know whether you mean that is a good thing or bad ?but if I dont like something you say or do then I tell you. like not opening the door for my friend when she got locked out but since then when Rose got locked out Monday you opened her door. she said that is because I was on duty with your friend across the way I was on a days leave. I said you didnt do yourself any favours as people will talk when you do things like that.

I do feel l mean at times but what do I do say nothing or speak out.?

Rita

perhaps that is why I have so many illnesses problems I am being mean.

pauline mention Astral I was going on holiday to Germany and Italy with my sister two years ago and I had forgottem to take my astral cream with me so l tried half a dozen shops near where Sheila lives no luck I tried the airport no luck there either when we got to Paris (first stop ) I found a little old chemist shop there selling it it was such a small container I had to look twice to make sure i had the right one anyway I brought . it cost something like 5 euro. when i came back to England I needed something from the chemist near Sheila's s there they were all lined up in rows my Astrals small medium and large the large ones were on speacial £2.99 so I brought two .
I said to Sheila thats s*** s law for you.
she still has a little laugh when i get my astral out.
Rita

Come to think of it Rita, I haven't seen Astral around for ages - wonder why!

Pleased to see you got your beaker back, next time she runs out of anything tell her to bring her own cup.

Pauline i have used Astral all my life and my skin is quiet good for my age I had trouble getting it at one time and brought 4 big containers with it in once because it became scarcebut i found a little shop near my sister in Hampstead that stock it so I buy a small one everytime I go there incase I have trouble getting it again.

The workmen have gone I am waiting now to make sure the system works as I kept getting a ringing noise in my call system they said it was the outside one I could hear. I said if it is not I shall complain.

I got my beaker back from the Estate manager she said I am sorry I dont know how I got it I said when you borrowed sugar or milk as you do often when the men come you most likely forgot. anyway I have it back now

tomorrow the window men come to reseal the windows as that came away. and hopefull Friday my sister is coming for the day she is better now but the trains have to be running from Waterloo for her to come there had trouble this morning with signals or something.

Rita

Hi Pauline ,

Thy are not in every county.......its a discount and sells mostly branded goods that are last seasons .

Great for makeup and household good and shoes..

*Adds Astral to shopping list*

Never heard of the other one Marilyn, never heard of T J Hugh either.

Hi All,

Forget the expensive creams coming from me an ex beauty consultant !

Astral..........great all rounder, or cuticura with cucumber only £1 in TJ hugh's


Cheap but works the same as & £40 pot that I used to sell !

Aww, I hope he's OK Shelly, you'll have to make sure he doesn't pull the bandages off. Hope he's not too sore afterwards, did the hospital say whether he would be in a lot of pain or not?

Well, it's not as cold today as it was yesterday, still cold but not as bad because we don't have that horrible cold wind we had yesterday. We've even got sunshine!!

I've tried that one Yvonne, didn't do anything for me, think it's a face lift I need.

good after noon every one

pauline it is cold here today think you push that bad weather this way

well i have grand kids her today and thay are sleepng the nite
cos very little one has the hospital im the morning for his finger and toe
and my other daughter is going with her sister to take him.
only so she can be nosey lol

i think it was the whitchaple london hospital thay have to get to so will go by train

Hi everyone

the face cream is by l'oreal, Age Perfect, I was using a cream from Avon but it's perfumed and the smell made my eyes water ( i know that sounds odd)

I don't like shopping for clothes cos I see something I like but when I try it on it looks wrong, I'm quite short, a lot of clothes are made for taller people.

Morning everyone.

Thanks for the cuppa Linda, I'm just having a sit down while I wait for the washer to finish, so I'll have my cuppa now.

It sounds to me that you need more Thyroxine Linda, don't know how they thought it would help by reducing it. I would have thought reducing it would make your hair and weight problem worse. I sometimes wonder if they know what they're doing.

Marilyn of course we don't need more clothes, your hubby doesn't know much about women if he thinks we only buy clothes when we need them.....lol

I do the same as you Mo, I keep saying I got things in the sale, he doesn't seem to mind if he thinks I got a bargain.

See Rita, that's what you get for bragging that you had lovely warm weather down there. My North Pole weather came down and got you.....lol

Shelly was another one rubbing it in about her lovely warm weather, I wonder if my cold weather reached her as well.

Yvonne, let us know if the face cream works, I'll order a bucket full if it does.

Morning All,

Linda Thanks for the tea.
You should take it easy a bit more, we both seemed to have the same medical ailments.... diabetes.. thyroid...blood pressure. And there is no way that I could do all that you do, and what you have been doing of late.

Take a break and look after yourself, give your body some strength you'll need it before long........DR MARILYN speaking !!

Thats Linda sorted ..LOL

Rita I assume you meant Plymouth Records Office and not (Portsmouth)
as you stated ?
I live in Plymouth, and of course I will go there for you ,just give me the details because I go whenever it suits me, so could be anytime !!

Mo I think its fair play with buying some clothes as hubby does sneakingly buy gadgets from the internet without me knowing, and often I say to him theres a van outside have you ordered anything ? and with a coy look he will say its only a little something for the car or commuter but that little something could buy me another TOP !! LOL often happens like 2 twice a week !
And he's got the cheek to say to me DID YOU NEED those clothes ? Well my answer is.... NO...... but I WANTED THEM ..

Thats they way to do it....LOL

Anyway off for me bath........

Hi Linda
I took so long on doing my writing yours appeared before mine so i will say hope the diet goes OK for you and you soon get yourself sorted. we seen to get one thing after another as we go along. my probolem at the moment is swollen ankles when i get up the are lovel and slim and after I have walked about they get swollen and thick like me,

have a nice day

Love Rita

I dont know that area very well Mo I know places like Ramsgate and Heron I think that is how you spell it.? but other than that not much the bonders all changed so I dont know what part belongs to the kent no
I know Dover is I have been there many times getting the Ferry to different ports.

Yes I think we had better keep our eyes on that Marilyn buying all these clothes and NOT TELLING HER KIND HUSBAND ABOUT IT she had to tell him about her hair do because he could see it.

Good luck to her we only live once and why not enjoy doing things that give us pleasure if we can afford too. you only have to leave it to others to spend.

I am cold today yes I take back what I said yesterday about you all being cold and me warm I woke to a grey sky and a chilly day.

have a good day the workmen will be here soon so I suppose I will have more noise.

love Rita

(**)? (**)? (**)? {^^}/ {^^}/ {^^}/ [_] [_] [_]

Cuppa's all round

Hope you are all well this morning

Fresh here, and a bit overcast

Have little K coming again this afternoon , so will try to get back after dinner. Hubby on lates so not home til 11:30ish at night.

Nurse will see me in 4 weeks to see if I have managed to loose anything ? Will keep a food diary so I can show her what I eat and then she suggests more blood tests for thyroid and diabetes. As the hospital decreased my thyroxine????? To help with my hair loss WHY I fell asleep yesterday when little M had gone home and don't really want to get up in the morning either.

Oh well have a good day see you alllater

Linda :o) XxX

Rita,Bluewater is in Kent,just before the Dartford Crossing,to Essex.
Who's a naughty girl then Marilyn,spending OH's money LOL.
After all,those new clothes have been in your wardrobe for ages,haven't they. Like me when I say I bought them in the sale last year.

listen to you lot have a conversation on here as though you were on the telphone Blue water and Lakeside I have never heard of bluewater where about is it ? Lakeside I went once on a coach journey one of the clubs locally had a day trip out there one christmas.for christmas shopping. it was quiet dear.
the stuff to buy l mean
I went last year with my sister to White city shopping mall it is suppose to be the biggest they had built it had shops from all over the world there many Paris shops and all the well known name but the prices I nearly died when i saw them shoes £250 I would expect two pairs for that.these were very high heels but only had a couple of straps going over the top I said to my sister have they been finished or is that the start of them.

I must be lucky here as it has been very warm and still is even this time of night. l had my windows opened all day except when they were drilling and I had to close them and when the gardeners were at it as well with their mowers.But I understand they will finish the job tomorrow so thank goodness for that.
Mo I dont need any tea thanks love I am drinking some Ovaltine doing some more reading then going to bed.
Rita
