Wow that has brought back so many memories! We used to put rose petals in water, shake it up in a bottle and call it scent-probably smelt better than some modern offerings. Mud pies and bang a bit of chalk on a stone from the garden to make icing on the top. So many things that I still did with...

I have a baby doll who is older than me. My Nanna was an avid knitter and the doll, Janet, was in the wool shop window modelling baby clothes, she asked if she could buy her and gave her to me when I was about 6 months old. She is quite large with a vinyl body and limbs but her head is hard. She...

Oh I would expect it to be binged up if I was buying!

Mr Twirls cataracts were operated on one eye at a time.

But always remember that Nanny knows best - especially at nap time. That phrase has often given this Nanny some much needed 40 winks during my grandchild minding days 😴 Actually covid has bought about a welcome respite from spending hours, and money, trying to keep them entertained

I hope that you don't mind me butting in but I have been on slow release Tramadol plus Gabapentin for almost a year now. I tried to cut out the morning dose but as of late I have had ato start taking it again. At first I thought that it wasn't working but Mr Twirl said that it would probably...

That's the one! Thank you.

We just voted for the person in charge of the police, sorry I can't think what they are called. We have a postal vote so only went as far as the post box.

Eldest daughter always refers to her current partner as "my other half". I find it annoying considering that none of them have ever put a ring on it! There, I've said it now 🤭

Yes I agree. I always thought that my diet was reasonably healthy until I had my cholesterol checked! 😳 I bought a Collins Cholesterol Counter book and really studied labels. Yes it can get boring but I have never had to take statins and I lost 3 stone. I have gained a stone but can't really...

I have one from Tchaibo (sp?) It was about £14 about 15 years ago and in a military style. I have often been asked where I got it from but sadly the stores are no longer around.

I use the website to order. They have had Stacey (?) with her make up on before the pandemic. The one that used to be on QVC that has her hair in rollers and transforms before our very eyes like a loud butterfly. I seem to remember that on one showing most of the stock had sold before it came...

Mr Twirl forgot what I looked like this morning 🙄 We popped into Asda for milk and bits and he went off upstairs to the home and wear bit for Polyfilla. I waited by the bread section and saw him look at me and then walk past. Apparently he thought that I wasn't wearing the particular jacket that...

Or maybe we have been unlucky 🤔

I have a wardrobe full of dresses from IW oh and a couple of coats and a jacket. The dresses wash up beautifully and never need ironing - always a bonus for me 👍🏻 I have a lovely pair of wedge sandals and wedge boots as well, good quality, comfortable and bought in the sales. I wouldn't...

We have a couple of willow trellises with artificial leafs to screen the overgrown garden next door. Unfortunately they are getting to the brittle stage and Milo has discovered that it is just perfect for breaking off and chewing 🙄

I used to work with a lady that coloured her own hair the brightest red that you could get, but it suited her. One time she decided to treat herself so went to a hair salon to make an appointment. The owner went through colour chart with her and she chose the reddest red, he said that there was...

Oh I have had that with highlights, when I queried it I was told that it looks more natural, if I wanted it natural I wouldn't be having the highlights put in! This was in the days when they used a cap and hook system. In the end I used to wait until she went to mix up the peroxide (?) and give...

I think that if you aren't happy you are right to say something. How many of us are guilty of when they wave the mirror around say "lovely, thank you" then pay up and give them a tip? I know I have. I have even been known to pop into a different salon on the way home and ask them to sort it out...

Katherine Ryan?
