Evening ladies,

Blimey Lorraine he sounds a bit of a disaster that pal of your hubbys!! My husband is very thin on top, but to be honest it doesn't bother me...I don't mind men who are bald. I mean I'd sooner they had hair,but if he was really good looking I'd tolerate it! What I can't stand is bad teeth and dirty men...(the type that don't wash!)

I'm quite lucky with my feet and toe nails, but I think that's more luck than anything, my dad had really good feet.

It's been a lovely day here in my kneck of the woods.

I'd better sign off for now or I'll get so engrossed that I'll end up being late for my shift!!

Speak soon.

PS hubby had bad nails and the doctor prescribed Terbinafine (not sure if that's spelt right,) they were tablet form and it did the trick!

Good Evening Everyone~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Well I am delighted to read that I have made people giggle, excellent!

As for the chap having his hair transplants, well talk about women being vain, how vain is that! Has he never heard of toupees? LOL

As for the bending down lol I had to laugh, cos my tummy and boobs get in the way of cutting my toenails, I dont do mine very often - its when they start looking longer than my finger nails and a member of the Addams Family would not look out of sight with them that I decide to deal with them. Why has nobody not manufactured a very long handled, now I mean like a garden edging tool which you can lengthen/shorten to your own comfort, for toe nail clippers? I know they do long handled ones - piffle, they are okay if you are three foot tall! And WHY did our feel have to so far down anyway! lol

Artic,

That Dr must be something wrong with him.....Might have some Tags on his bum...or moles on his you know what.....none of us is perfect LOL

Why I wonder has he not been snapped up before......mind wonders ??

AB I bet he would fancy the pants off you (or should I say Tenna) lol

LOL AB

Well his patients will have something to talk about lol.is he a Dr? Mine is a GP!!
I always tell my OH he has the brains and I have the common sense!!!!!!!!
He doesn't like that lol

Marilyn I am a bit like a contortionist doing my nails.My tum gets in the way,and me boobs get in way of the tum lol
I have just opened a chilled bottle of wine,,,,,cheers!

Ann my nails are caused by Athletes foot,when I was at school 40 years ago.!!!!..............That just scared me ....40 years since I was at school!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I use nailvarnish on them when I wear summer sandals as they are so gross.I have had stuff to use ,but I'm not very good at sticking with it.
OH would say well Whats New lol

Talk about cutting nails ....today in the garden I trimmed (Posh word ) !! my toe nails, did the right one no trouble at all, then I started on the left one
and ............I could not bend over to do the last two on the end, frighted me I
never knew that I couldn't bend that far over !!

So I have decided I would have to do some bendy exercises as from today !!

Wine first ,so I will be gone for 20 mins.......

I gave up trying to do my toe nails 10 years ago, they are very thick and curved, the result of athletes foot in the past apparently, the fungus gets under the nail and thickens it. so I go to the chiropodist every 8 weeks and he cuts and files them. hate having it done, it doesn't hurt but I always think it is going to. He has been known to make my toes bleed too Helen.

I should think your friend looked pretty scary with a bandage on his head anyway Lorraine.

Well, I've never read this thread, before, and what I have been missing! Must now go back to the beginning and read more thoroughly.

LOLOLOL

I have now had my afternoon giggle reading the last few posts
I thought I would soak my feet in a bowl on the patio.Must do something about the skin on my heels now sandals are on.That was fine ,then put nice lotion on them.That was fine too.So I thought while my nails were soft I would get the clippers and trim them.One foot is dead easy but the nails on the other are like thick horn,you know where they go thick underneath.Well I was gritting my teeth and doing ok until I did something and the end started bleeding all over the place.I now have 3 plasters on it.
Your Hubby's friend sounds a B Nightmare Lorraine!!!.I bet he feels a bit of a plonker right now lol

Gawd Lorraine, what an ordeal for him! He must have stood out a bit in his turban bandage too......he won't forget having that done in a hurry will he!!

Afternoon All,

Well I got up at 1.30am to get a cup of tea....I was so hot.....a cold and hot flushes...nice!!

I read somewhere that you get skin tags where clothing rubs......don't think I want to go without my bra though....the supermarket freezer would become a no go area for a start......leaning over with no support.....no!!!!....and no fast turns either!!! lol

My face was covered in freckles as a girl......gran always said to wash them in parsley water to fade them??? I think I tried it, but once probably wasn't enough. lol

Now I have purply red patches on my thighs.....lovely!! I think they are called spider veins....the doc said it was hormonal, but I had them when on HRT and I have them without HRT so what hormones does he mean??? I read somewhere you can have them zapped, but my patches seem quite big. Well, long shorts it is then......even in the hot tub!!!! lol

What happened to all those pretty, high heels I used to wear with tiny little heel straps and buckles?? My feet have turned into splayed flippers with chippolatas attached now, 2 sizes bigger and wider!! I only care about comfort now and being able to put them on without bending down!!!! lol

Well, I'm going to do my wii fit now...see what porkies it tells me about my age today......then a long soak in the bath and get my legs......well I used to say de-fuzzed......perhaps I should try OH's hair clippers??

BBL

Afternoon girls, hope you're all well and enjoying this lovely sunshine. I had a lay in today (got up 10.30) as I'm working a night shift tonight. it's not too bad actually, 9.30pm-7.30.am, then I'm not in again until thursday night. Had dreams again last night, not quite as vivid as the other night though! Don't usually dream that much...well I do during the day! Always been a day dreamer, so can't put that down to the change.

Morning All,

Oh what a beautiful morning Oh what a beautiful day ...Da Da Da Da Da Da
a beautiful DAY..... boom boom !

No Ive not gone off my rocker, just happy Ive got no hot flushes LOL

Tina I think you ought to save up for a hot tub in your garden...then we would all join you, now that would be a laugh !

Morning ,I'm am still chuckling at the visions of Tina and AB lol
Not a good start today .Had a lovely walk with the dog for a while until I bent down to pick up what he had left behind,and as I was being a good citizen he was busy rolling in what a fox had left !!!!!!! I had a rather smelly drive home.
Well that has set me up nicely for the day.On the good side it looks like it is going to be a beautiful one.Back later.

Hi girls, just thought i'd pop back before i go up for an early night...and it is early for me.

What lovely ladies and what wit! Reading all the posts since i went for my bath and i couldn't stop smiling. You see that's the difference with the older ladies, we have lived...boy have we lived!! That's why we have so much to say...or is that another way of saying we like a bloody good moan!!

Well whatever, you have all given me a lovely laugh and i always feel cheered after reading all the posts. Little did i realise how many nice friends would all join up on here, discussing our bodies in such a way. Being serious though, it really does help (speaking for myself) to gather advice and know all these strange things that are starting to happen to me are all perfectly normal.

Really hope our thread keeps going, it's not my thread it's OUR thread, 'cos without the input from you all it would have dried up.

Speak soon.

Pam.xxx

I cannot laugh anymore tonight .I have face ache.Is that another symptom??????I hope not.Anyway I am off to bed .I have a major task tomorrow,it will take a while and also a couple of razors.No not my chin...........
legs!!.Night Night x

Arctic Blond you have made me laugh.

The only time I get to have a "bath" is when the family sized swimming pool comes out in the summer and I INSIST on hot water and bubble bath. My sister and I wallow until our fingers and toes are wrinkly lol.

The pool is covered with a gazebo and I always position it so I can grab hold of one pole and pull and lean on the chair next to it. (and no I am not pole dancing) lol

I did one year when I was more agile get the pool out and could not be bothered to get the gazebo out so ended up with severe sunburn. The GP asked how on earth I managed to get burnt like that, I told him I was in the paddling pool in the garden. His eyes widened and I am sure he coughed and spluttered, when I told him it was a family sized paddling pool. I think he had visions of a middle aged obese woman in a little two ring blow up childs paddling pool! lol

The pool did not come out last year as the weather was not good enough, so I am hoping for a "bath" this year pmsl.

Other than that its a jolly good shower - thank goodness for them I say, otherwise you would smell me a mile off lol

Helen, yes, we probably would be all queued up for the loos lol

Tina xx
