Hi Everyone,
Well I haven't hung my new curtains YET !!

We had unexpected visiters today ,So hubby could not make me my pelmet,

Only needs to knock a few bits of wood together, but I'll have to wait until he makes it now.
But I did a crafty thing when we bought the curtains I saw there were some lovely cushions that went with the curtain material, so I slyly put one in the trolley. and when we got to the till, he said* Whats this* Oh said I was looking at that cushion thought it might brighten up the settee.
But I'll buy it you just buy the curtains, he was so embarrassed that he put on a brave face and told the girl on the till to put it on the same bill !!

I have my ways with him LOL...He never mentioned it again ..Yippeeeee !

Lorraine they are beautiful, I cant wait to put them up., at least it makes you want to start to Spring clean....I did the Skirting boards this morning,and could not get up ,well I did, but not as quick as I thought I would ..LOL

Helen glad Chester is OK.

Evening ladies, hope you're all okay!

That Sudacrem is just brilliant it really is. i can't get over the fact how fast it works...I'm all blemish free!

Hubby put a blind up our bedroom window...think i may have mentioned it before, i'm apt to repeat myself! But anyway...the sun doesn't blind us a t 5 in the morning now and I'm sleeping so much better!

Pam. ☺

I know they're not everyone's cup of tea...but we have chintz curtains in the living, dinning room and two of the bedrooms!

I love chintz! I tend to be quite old fashion in my taste.

Plain walls and chintz, lovely.

I 'm of to bed now ,have a busy day tomorrow
catch up tomorrow
night night

Hi Pam ,
I'm very old in my taste I love all my grandmas old table cloths and tapestry .

Got nothing modern except for the TV's and they are big plasma ones.

I got two old singer treadle machines that sits one TV.

But I try and make it as bright as I can.....I go back in time LOL
Going to bed now Nite XXXXX

I am waking at 5 every morning as it is so light.Have talked about dark linings ,blinds for years but still haven't done anything.
Chester is still behaving a bit odd.I think once Ilet him out for a wee and we all go to bed and put the lights out he should sleep all night.(He better do) lol

Morning Ladies,
I have a weird dog on my hands today.I think he is still suffering the effects of the anaesthetic.I suppose as he is nearly 10 it takes a bit longer to recover.He is snoring his head off at the mo.
I hope you are all going to have a nice weekend and that the weather is kind.

Hi Helen,

Glad Chester is doing fine.......wont hurt him to rest at least you get a rest as well LOL !

Busy making Pasties at the mo, having a rest myself.

Pam glad your back to normal now, I always take my Sudocrem on holiday with me ,part of the luggage ..!
Nice and dry here, got grandchildren coming today...got pills at the ready !!

Hello All, glad Chester is okay Helen, he sounds a nice old chap. Yes Marilyn Sudocrem is going to be part of my life from now on...smells okay too!

Off out in a bit, hopfully back later this evening.

Have a nice day!

Pam. x☺x

HELLO ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Ha ha! Wondered when I would be missed - well at least Familysearcher noticed I had not been on! lol

Glad everyone is okay, lovely sunny day outside and warm, just sat on the swinging hammock in the garden and enjoyed an icecream - an Almond Magnum mmmmm!

Very naughty.

Oh forgot to say - they will make you laugh

In work I find I can type much faster with hands that have been moisturised. So yesterday afternoon, as I wanted to get a spurt on with a certain job opened up my drawer and took out the little handcream I had in a gift set at Christmas - just the right size for your office drawer.

Opened up the top and went splodge with the cream, thought it looked a tad odd, but rubbed in it nonetheless, and then realised it did not quite feel right, a bit sticky in fact.

Was only rubbing in bloomin shower gel onto my hands!

That will teach me to put my specs on when looking at any tubes! LOL

Tina xx

Lol Tina.My sister did a similar thing and rubbed hand balm into her lips instead of lip balm.I think it was Burts Bees !!!.
Talking of Burts Bees ,I have been using the lipsalve for ages ,but I think I have become allergic or something as my lips have become very dry and sore.Weird!! Maybe it was the menthol or something.Have gone back to the normal one ,and within a day my lips feel fine.
Was your Magnum the special offer ones from Tes**?? I got a couple of packs but someone has found them !!!!They are yummy aren't they.

Hello Helen - yes the icrecream were the offers from T*sco lol - wish I got two packs now instead of one! I am not generally an icecream person, but do enjoy the occasional Magnum, especially the white one. I did try their limited edition very dark one last year and that was just to die for lol.

Glad you got your lip balm sorted. It may have been the menthol.

Tina x

Would the menthol make it feel like my lips were burning? I have probably used it far too often.I will stay clear of it now even though it was good.

Ooops! Must have pressed the submit button a bit too fierce! lol
Have deleted the two spare posts pmsl!

Menthol is rather a strong oil, so it could be, perhaps the receipe in the balm may have had too much of it on this occasion.

Tina x

EDIT - In fact I would be inclined to send it back to them letting them know, it may be a batch fault. :)

Tina I actually think I just used it too much and too often.I liked the cold feeling and just kept plastering it on.I will leave it for a few weeks and then try again and see what happens.

OK, well you would have thought ,at your young age, you would know that over use of a thing will wear it out and become sore! PMSL

Gawd !!!!!!! just spat my wine out there Tina....Savlon is always useful lol

Sorry Helen, did not intend for you for waste any wine pmsl!

Hello Arctic Blonde - my, you have been very busy, you must be fair worn out!

I had a small salad of our own grown veggies last night. I was thinning out some of the lettuces and added some spring onion thinnings too, and home grown radish - boy what a difference the taste is.

OH has planted some peas and leeks - we have never grown any vegetables at all so its all new to us. OH has even started a compost heap out of the old built brick bbq.
