oo heck thats even worse!  So you now have the experience to teach me about horse power and all it's implications!AND what it actually involves!

justa, it sounds like you are going to doll yourself up, what with blushing pearls and mascara and stuff.  You get out there and do your stuff matey.  Nothing succeeds like excess, remember that.  Did you get any false eyelashes? 

figtree, I will save the horse stuff for another day.  In fact, I will do a blog about it, that no one will read.  Phew!

Hate to say it sweetheart but they really do disagree with most people!
May I ask if you take refined/processed sugar in your tea..... because this may interfer with the good flora in your gut so you would not get the true benefit of tea!... I really do not mean to dictate to you sweetipops I am not a health garu but I prefere always to go down the natural route  and basically I really am a healthy 68 year old.... I have always had a healthy sceptism about pharmacuticals.... will always remain so!
Bless you sweet heart... I had a big problem like that in my 20s but have never had an antiwotsit since!

hehe i always end up finding my false eye lashes in me drink  i got really bad eys they water at the slightest breeze, actually if i laugh to much they water and people think im crying.
so i always have to have waterproof mascara otherwise i end up looking like a panda.ive got a hen night sat and the theme is elgance i gotta wear a dress (i never ever get the legs out) anyway i got like this a line dress above the knee (arghhhhh).its  dark grey and black leopard print (mums calling me miss leopard lol)i bought a pair of little ankle boots black suede with about a 4" heel, i'll probably last a couple of hours and be home. dreading it.

i really do find it hard to believe youre 68 fig youre great.
but i still need my chocolate shortbreads

A flying "Hi" and "Bye" from me Fredsters.  Promise to catch up with you all tomorrow. xxxx

take care cosmo

Hang on a mo  Justa, you have just described yourself as a classic English rose! Have you not heard the phrase 'pale and interesting' Make the most of your eyes sweetheart. a pink or white rose is as devestantingly beautiful as any red rose can be! DARE TO BE DIFFERENT be  who you are and love the skin you are in! I will repeat..... DARE TO BE DIFFERENT! You are the classic amongst the ordinary.Don't look for the fellow in your life believe me HE is looking for YOU!

I don't take sugar in my tea at all fig.  Just milk.  I am not far behind you in age and I don't usually get stuff go wrong with me and I'm quite healthy most of the time, although I do have Rheumatoid Arthritis which is under control by taking Methotrexate.  I asked the Doctor if the RA had triggered off the urine problem but he said it hadn't.  They are not connected.  It's just one of those things whereby bacteria gets into the urinary tract and they don't know what triggers it off.  I've never had this before but apparently it is quite common.  And more prevalent in our age group too.  Weird! 

I'm like you fig, I hate taking pills but I don't mind taking the RA pills because I would be in very bad pain with my joints if I didn't.  I just don't like taking pills for other complaints I might have.  Like you say, antibiotics affect everyone in different ways.  But your advice re the Cranberry juice is sound and it's been proven that it has beneficial effects for urinary tract infections.  Thanks for your advice fig.  I appreciate your concern xx

You my love are on a promise... If I have to grind the flour  myself, churn the butter, 'beet' the sugar you will get it! But don't throw bricks at me if your waist expands!

hi and bye cosmo   Speak tomorrow.

justa, it sounds like you have a lovely little outing coming up, giving you a chance to get all dolled up.  You will love it.  Your outfit sounds lovely too, so just go out there and do your stuff girl.  Spend all day Saturday on yourself and go to town getting ready.  Sometimes the getting ready part is the best of all, so enjoy it xx

some people reckon im different fig, usually for all the wrong reasons


im gonna remember what you said fig (i like it)

Blimey sweetheart thats not good but I will get back to you on that! I certainly will send as many positive vibes to you as I can...............have this for starters!

oh my goodness  

PFTTT to the so called wrong reasons just be sure of who you are and develop the inside as well as the outside and you will become a mountain and will leave the molehills behind!

i will try my best to enjoy it twee.

think its time i hit my bed so night night fig and twee been good talking to you both.

you know im trying me best fig. night night and see you tomorrow..

Rheumatoid Arthritis is joint pain.  It started in my elbows, and then it moved around my body.  It got so bad that I went to a private Doctor and he injected my shoulders and hands with steroids and, luckily, he fast tracked me onto the NHS.  They put me on a Course of Methotrexate which is given to cancer patients, but I take a very low dose, just 4 tablets a week.  It has kept it under control for the past 18 months.  I feel great, I forget I've got RA, but I have to have monthly blood tests because this drug can affect the liver and kidneys, so they monitor me.  I am very active also, I am always going out gadding about.  It was a real shock to be diagnosed with RA but I have got used to the notion now and I live with it.  It hasn't affected my life style one jot.  I am lucky I was in a position to go private at the time because I think they managed to control it in time. 

Anyway, before you glaze over, I will shut up about it.

goodnite justa xxx  sleep well love

O by the way Justa' Freddie and Siavash had the courage to 'be themselves' we loved them for it! Some may think they were different! Me? I wish there were more people like them, rays of sunshine spreading their glow through grey clouds of people that are lost in the mist of time!

I certainly will not 'glaze over' twee but I will ruminate! Sweet dreams petal!

goodnite figtree, and thanks for the good advice too xxx  My eyes are closing up for the night haha.

Goodnite all Freddie fans

Sweet dreams to all Freddie fans and anyone who may wander into this Thread!

This really made me Justa' because  I 'don't get me legs out' much and even at my age prefer jeans! YES you lot I wear jeans' skinny ones at that! I love jeans jeans with boots! My legs were supposedly one of my assets when I was younger... did I care ? not a diddly squat.... legs are just for walking on in my book! My other half reckoned I looked like Soraya as in the wife of the Prince of Persia which I believe is now Iran! Basically in the end who cares! I personally like people more for the way they are than the way they look! It is all window Dressing in the end!
If our squiggs comes on before I do in the morning!Keep in there kid! thinking of you each day. One step at a time ! we are here for you!
