Good Morning everyone , lots of posting overnight
Noel it must be so upsetting for you about the lanyards and pins a problem you didn’t need, especially since you made it clear how you wanted it handled. I’m sure this problem will be sorted but am just so sorry you have this hassle. Sending you hugs

Today is the day, DS driving test is today, he’s feeling a little stressie ( so am I ). Poor him it’s raining and he’s also been told the driving test centre is being audited and as well as the test examiner and his driving instructor he may also have a driving test auditor in the car, making a total of four people !!.... a bit over the top I feel, but I’m sure he will be ok. So after he passes next week will be spent out driving gaining motorway experience, and maybe a lift to the airport on the 9th would be very good !
You OWN 21 DRESSES????
Yes I was amazed I had that many dresses

..... but I have to admitt that I have even more than that and they fit


It's helped by the fact I've managed to lose 2 stone 11lb and am hope I can reach the 3 stone mark by the cruise. So I've found that a lot of my old favourite dresses now fit as well. One down side is I brought a couple of nice dresses and now they are too big


but I can live with that. I will get them altered but I have so much choice now ( always a problem for me ) I don't need too.
And yes karen I love a bargain, I simply can't pass one by, you are a woman after my own heart . Men just don't understand that concept... DH will go out and buy what he wants when he needs it, more or less regardless of price, but I like the thrill of getting a bargain and think I've spent less, so I end up buying more !!!! lol such a shame that !
I am looking for opinions on this: I work in a very public place, so I always get a flu shot in the fall. It seems a bit early, but my local Walgreen's has a big sign announcing that "FLU SHOTS ARE AVAILABLE NOW!" Since we'll be flying in germ-ridden airplanes and stopping in germ-ridden airports, I am wondering if it might be smart to get the shot before I go. What do you think? Better early?
Thanks for any advice,
Karen
Hi karen, I presume you have a jab every winter, how do you react to them ? I know when I've had them in the past they tend to make me a little ill afterwards. But you do have a long flight lol that wasn't much help !!
I'm up to 6 dresses - so far. Practical? What's that mean?

This is why I'm buying that second checked bag.
Okay, so I was trying on a dress I bought on ebay, and it has a side zip, which I couldn't seem to get to the top. So I asked Dennis to zip it for me and... he caught my skin in the zipper.

Owww! He apologized profusely and raved over the dress (it did look pretty good), and I said, "Okay, unzip me," and... he did it again, only lower! The poor guy felt sooo bad, and I had to explain to him that there were assorted fat rolls on me and he needed to zip and unzip
slooowwwly!
Pat I know what you mean about deciding what to pack it's a nightmare. LOL as for Dennis he's needs more practice!!! that can be so painful. Just tell him practice makes perfect
I agree with you and Pat, we love the opportunity to get dressed up and make the most of it on the cruise.
It must be his military training, DH doesn't miss a thing he is soooo observant, he knows exactly what I have in my wardrobe, no matter how old. I don't get away with it
I'm getting excited now, this time in 2 weeks we will be packed and ready to go and will be making the first leg of our journey to Edinburgh, catching the flight to London later on this evening
Yes I totally agree, I'm looking forward to the dressing up, but by the end of two weeks it may be a different story, because at my age the whole dressing up thing takes longer
It's a good job my DH is not so observant, I would be getting myself into all sorts of trouble


I am looking forward to our coffee that morning and we may even see josh since he's on our flight !
Dan so glad you have your docs now, the magic is getting nearer
