At Least if we have a meet up 

We will stand out and it will not be a problem finding each other.

A whole new meaning to, "The boys in blue".

Mary1947!  I do have hair albeit only 3mm long. Wouldn't take much of a rinse. I could have some of Margies leftovers.

[Jill Sparrow 8,460]

Blood test. Ouch! 

[loppylugs 8,155]

You have my sympathy.  

[mary1947 1,458]

To have HAIR extensions,  one needs some hair to fit them to. At 3mm long I've decided to have a perm or maybe plaits. Wouldn't want a ponytail, that would make me look like a saddo. Do you have any perm rollers, the size of chicken bones?

Just got back from eye casualty. I was assembling one of those perspex front door canopies and I’d taken my glasses off so I could see what I was doing (I’m of that age!). I’d got one end of the bracket on and was bending the perspex to get the other end on, when it shot off, and propelled by the spring of the perspex, hit me right in the eye. Apparently I’ve scratched my eye all the way across, fortunately missing the pupil, but can see okay. Antibiotic ointment for 5 days, drops for a month, and go back Sunday for another look.

To add insult to injury, they put something in my eye which (though I didn’t realise until I got home) stained my cheek bright orange. I’ve come home on the bus looking like bloody Coco the Clown!

That bright orange stuff glows a powerful fluorescent green/yellow in UV light. Be careful near any discos.

I  went for a Tattoo late one night after drinking in Coalville when i lodged at '''Big Mauds''' it was in a caravan ..whilst waiting with some other drinkers i Sobered up.....and Legged it''........so my body is still ''TATTOOLESS''   and ever more shall be so.....edit.... Why did i tell you that ? oh yes needles scare me to bits.....

[Jill Sparrow 8,460]

Eye, eye, AG,  sounds painful.  Hope you're soon feeling better.  They used to put those orange drops in mum's eyes when I took her for her ophthalmologist appointments. She always washed her face before we came home. It was stubborn stuff to remove.

I used to perm my mum’s hair and I well remember the tiny rollers which were the size of chicken bones!  The longer ones were pink and the shorter ones were blue.  The hair was rolled up and the rollers were fixed in place with laggy bands.    I quite liked the permy smell but my dad used to complain....

[MargieH 6,600]

I’m not bothered at all by needles.  Think I’ve said on here before, I used to let the junior nurses practice giving me intramuscular injections (just sterile water) before they were let use on the patients.

.... and tattoos don’t worry me at all either

[Beekay 2,777]

AG, maybe now you look just like your Avatar  If you notice, he has one eye closed.

Third day of pickaxing and shovelling soil, roots and rocks. All has to be wheelbarrowed to the skip 20 metres away. The skip is just over half full and another two days should fill it. Found four old 6' gravel boards under the surface. They took some removing, being those old heavy ones - about twice the weight of modern ones. They will be used to top the stone wall that I will be building. Enjoying this manual labour   

[Beekay 2,777]

PP, surely there must be an easier way to escape ? Have you considered smuggling out in a laundry basket?

[MargieH 6,600]

Cut down a small partly dead tree in the front garden - well, Paul did about 7/8 of the hard work.  I just secateured the branches and packed them into a couple of square metre bags to take to the tip.  It took us nearly 3 hours to do it, though.   Paul wants to take up the whole tree up but I noticed two small new shoots nearly at ground level, so I think it should be given a second chance!   

[Beekay 2,777]

Pity you didn't leave about a metre of the trunk, you could have put a small dish on it for a bird bath. Unless of course it wasn't thick enough.

[MargieH 6,600]

BK. The tree had multiple ‘trunks?’ - I suppose it was more of a very large bush.  It had variegated leaves like a privet but the thick branches were all intertwined.  Many of the branches had died over this last year...

Or was the first sample pure Aussie Vino Collapso?

I'm sure I can find some small rods just for you. B. I might event treat you to a Twink Perm (ladies wil no what i mean) or ask her indoor's she will know what a twink PW was or even the pin perm. Don't think you would like the look of either of them B as you would just look a frizzy mess. No I think we will stick with the Extensions we can melt your hair on to them. I think you would look great I'm sure all the ladies would fall for you.  xxxx

Don't need 'em so I'm staying out if this conversation, my hair is now long enough to touch my shoulders...

[mary1947 1,458]

Brew your just an old Hippy at heart 

[Beekay 2,777]

In actual fact Mary, up until about 12 years ago, before I started having a 3mm haircut, Tina used to perm my hair as it's normally straight. If left a couple of days, it would look like a chip pan, all lank. Perming it used to put some life into it. Then we tried trimming it and the rest is history. Having short hair is easier to manage and I ain't been to a barber for years.
