Things I've Learned This Week!

Recommended Posts

Sorry Lesley,

 

the chocolate sheep poo picture seems to have disappeared overnight. That's going to cock the flow of the conversation up isn't it...will try and relocate it for the sanity of the forum

 

mind you, now I come to think of it...I'm not sure that's even going to touch the sides is it :wink::lol::

Well I learned this week that things really do come in Threes!

Monday - problems at Dentists and no notes passed on by Hospital since January appointment :twisted:

Tuesday - Hosp. appt. re knee injury - I appear to have two sets of notes and two Unique Reference Numbers - must be my split personality :roll: Not very satisfactory replies in either January or yesterday as they only have half of my notes at any given appointment :twisted:

Wednesday - trying to sort out problems with collecting prescriptions in Stratford and its horrendous parking problems when you have limited mobility and no Parking Badge - I got a Parking Ticket for being double parked outside the surgery :twisted:

 

I really need that Chocolate Pooing Sheep :lol:

I'm glad its threes in the saying, you've had all yours now! :D:D

At one of Esther's appts, the notes were read then the doctor said, you don't look in your seventies (about 7 then) what's the address? Someone elses notes! Presumably if not for the obvious age difference we would have decided for or against tonsillectomy based on another person's records!

Oh, it was worse. We agreed grommits, check adenoids, but leave tonsils.

Went to sign consent form, couldn't read docs writing so I said "What's that word, beginning with T ?" Tonsillectomy! Imagine if I'd signed it !"oh sorry" as he changed it. :roll:

Few months later, op day arrives, different doc at hospital comes to see us...about her tonsillectomy! Aggh. Right outside the operating theatre, as she was anaethetised, was a mum checking with the surgeon :evil::twisted: "Just the grommits, not the tonsils!" :roll:

They must have not reached target for tonsillectomies that year!

Hope that's cheered you up Lesley :? Now a run of good things I hope! :D

In a bid to be more girlie after becoming more of a barbara (yes she was girlie but I have often got poop on trs which isn't) I decided that even if my attire is in doubt I would wear lippy. So even when cleaning eglu I wear lippy.

 

What I have learnt is cycling and lawn mowing are not appropariate for the wearing of lip gloss, I mowed the lawn this morning and found a collection of small creepy crawlies stuck in my lip gloss definately no longer of this world. I have also thought that this maybe an environmentally/animal friendly way of eliminating green fly.

 

Lip gloss at the ready girls!!! :lol::lol:

 

Bx :wink:

This is a bit of cheat really but it is something I learned several weeks ago - Olivia does not suit false nails!!

 

One of my best friends is a beautician and she has sort of taken me in hand and is trying to spruce me up a bit (waste of time, but she seems to enjoy it!) - she came round one day and said "I have bought you a present" which turned out to be a set of false nails - not wanting to be ungrateful I agreed to have them applied - BIG MISTAKE !! I have rather flat nails - false ones very curved, when they dried they pinched inwards and felt like I was being tortured - couldn't sleep that night, up at 4am with them plunged into cold water to ease the agony!! Had to drive all the way to Milton Keynes the following day to get solvent to get the ruddy things off!!! Went, sorry RAN, into Boots, asked rather stroppy assistent what I needed "yes love, over there, its called "Get 'em off" !! Purchased it very quickly, drove home and the speed of light, (during which time my friend texted me saying "how are the nails") ran throught the front door, soaked my fingers and peeled offending items off - aaaaahhh, instant bliss !!!! Then had to confess in return text that they were already off !!!!

 

:?:?:?:?:?:?:?

Oh dear !

 

I must admit that my friends nearly died laughing when I said we had some chickens in the garden!

 

They all said "have they flown over from next door", yes- thats it, they call me Margot! :oops: and this was before I got the chooks!

 

Still, it takes all sorts :roll:

Lippy tip, blistex helps act as a lip base and keep it on longer, just a bit...

 

Olivia I used to have false nails and I loved them but not practical at all. You either find a collection of things gathered under them, if you are practical and enjoy DIY like me (and gardening) or you can't do a thing with them and if the vet asks you to do somehting like apply eye drops to your doggy. You have to manipulate the things so you don't remove the eye completely. Also they can break off, causing pain and you have to discreetly pop the brightly coloured nail in a pocket or something because you can't just drop the talon on the floor. Imagine at a do "oh, what's that red thing!" :oops::oops::oops:

 

Still would love nice hands and nails, perhaps try and tart them up sitting sipping pimms this weekend.

 

Enjoy the sunshine!!!

 

Bx :D

I expected laughter because of lippy wearing but everyone knew I was animal mad and into nutrition because of my work. I was ready to defend myself and I didn't need to... My early morning routine, bread making and comments like "pampered chickens" have caused the most giggles!!

This week has been just wonderful! We had Clarry at the vets Monday, LSH away Wednesday so that's when the washing machine decided to break down leaving me with the biggest pile of dirty clothes to hand wash yesterday and today and now the loaf of bread I left in the airing cupboard to rise before baking fell off the tank and onto the carpet when I opened the door. Got to start all over again now :cry: .

 

The thing I've learned this week as a result is not to get out of bed when the alarm goes off - things can't go wrong then, can they :wink: .
