I do still buy the bags of chocolate money lol.Xmas wouldn't be the same without them.

Hi all
daughter no 2 still has to have an advent calendar & she's 22 and I still fill a Christmas stocking for both my daughters but this year daughter no 1 and her OH and baby Granddaughter will be going away for Christmas so I told daughter no 1 that she won't get a stocking but I will make up a little one for the baby.

I went christmas shopping this afternoon and while I was looking through the single Christmas cards, I came across a card saying MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM THE BUMP. Honestly there are so many different cards not just Christmas cards but cards for anything . What next : how about cards especially for the Genealogist, To my 3C2R ( third cousin twice removed) do you think there would be a market for them.

Cards written,hoping to get all my wrapping done on Saturday I've got a ton of baking to do for 3 playgroup parties and I would really like to see the dining room decorated before the holidays I suppose thats something I could do during the night when I can't sleep.I used to always wish for more hours in the day and now I've hit "the change" I've found them.

HELP!!!!

Symptom
1) I open my mouth and the wrong word comes out
2) Its 16 degrees in our bedroom and I still fling the cover off in the night
3) I forget words
4) Periods- regular as clockwork, still
All these symptoms were amusing when my Mother was first suffering them (except 4)but now I have them and my Mum still has them. Then again shes only had them since her hysterectomy when she was fifty one, I'm only 45.

May as well get used to the fact my brains turning to goo!

Sorting out the rest of my old photos,I think I picked the wrong day as my mood is really low so I've cried buckets over them .My life is in those boxes ,people who've passed on ,my kids with jammy faces ,a size 8 me finishing a half marathon 20 different hairstyes in assorted colours ,my O.H. in his Miami Vice phase in white suit and no socks ................where did the years go?

Sorry you are feeling a bit blue Patricia.It is so easy when feeling down to choose the wrong thing to look at or do.Put them all away and bring them out on a happy day when you can have a laugh over them.
I have no idea where my years have gone either lol.

Ooh Janet,I am 55 have 1,2 and 3.Thankfully and Hopefully no number 4.
Plenty of other things though !!!
Chin up lol

He must have been a stick insect LOL

I had a car pull up close next to me today in Tes** car park.They very kindly nodded at me so I could get out first.I looked at the gap,said a prayer and sucked in my tummy lol,and JUST managed although I did knock their car with my door.(very gently I hasten to add)

People still manage to park like that in disabled spaces! We both need to open doors wide and it can be a near thing many times.

Just giving a nudge for us Ladies,we seem to be slipping down the pages lol,and that won't do lol

went christmashopping with daughter and 2 grandchildren,in the hope it might lift my spirits.Sadly the lack of good cheer appears to be universal at least in this part of the world.Santa's grotto was a total rip-off and the queue was miles long with crabby kids and harrassed mums threatening all sorts of woes if they didn't behave.If it were me I'd have just given up and gone home,my own 2 little darlings waited until the great man was in sight and then decided they would rather go for something to eat!Their dad and papa can take them next time.Daftgrannie's not THAT daft.

Did anyone wear false eyelashes in their younger days?.I gather they are back in fashion big time.My daughter went out with her friend last night and they came back sometime in the early hours.Went into the Kitchen this morning to put the kettle on and there on the work top were 4 caterpillars !!!!!
2 sets of false lashes lol.They must have just peeled them off while waiting for the kettle to boil.

Cant remeber which thread I first posted this on! Slaps hand!.
Have now had my appointment to see a gynaecologist come through. At the womens health centre, Ante-Natal clinic! I will be 75 in January! Miracles are not likely to happen!

No winterwitch, I always regard myself as an aquarian. 22nd my birthday.

WHERE IS PAM?????
I still have 3 false eyelashes now next to the telephone lol.Don't know where the 4th one is .They must have crawled from the kitchen into the lounge !!!!!

Well Jean,it is the season for miracles lol! I saw an advert today for Mother Christmas,what a good idea.You buy your ticket at the door and it tells you your time for an appointment with mother christmas ,so no queues and for £4 you get 5minutes of her time and a gift.I like the idea of a woman for the little ones,You spend all year telling them not to speak to strangers then come December you plonk them on an old bearded man's knee . Somehow a woman is less "threatening ".

Morning all,just popped by.My day off today so of course I couldn't sleep and have been up since early hours.Plan is to clear the ironing basket and meet my sister for lunch .

Hi all
been busy with babygrand daughter she's been for her second lot of jabs , and she had two short cries and that was it, so we are very proud of her.
I never could get the hang of putting false eyelashes on, or false nails, though when I was working I managed to struggle with false nails when I was going out as my own nails kept breaking and they looked awful when they were short, now I have stopped working my nails are stronger and I always make sure I wash up with rubber gloves on.

Hello everyone.
Daughters eyelashes are still in the lounge.I am still missing one.Am wondering if the dog has eaten it .lol.
I have always been lucky and have strong nails ,I can't even bite them.Although saying that just recently I have had 3 that have split at the side about a 3rd of the way down.Too far down to cut,so I use little bits of steristrips and paint clear nail varnish over the top to stick them to the nails .That way it stops me catching them on things.

So pleased Sophia was a good little girl with her jab Fiona.I remember feeling quite sick at the thought of taking my 2 for theirs.How do you explain to a baby why someone is going to stick a needle in them??

I have used a shaped piece of tissue, fastened to my nail by soaking with nail vaarnish, which will last if you can keep your hands as dry as possible, though it has lasted through hand washing.
