Hair styler

[shaneystar2]

I'm looking for a new hair styler . My old Nicky Clarke has given up .
Well ,let's say it went ..bang ,and I jumped abut a lot :)
What I want is a hot brush type thing ..not a straightener ..just one of those ones that give your hair a bit of bounce . Like a blow dry brush but electric .
Any recommendations......thank you .

and I didn't even find the painting. How can you lose a 2ft x 3ft oil painting, for heaven's sake? It has to be around somewhere.

[Robinia]

oh well I've 'lost' one of those Chinese embroidered pics, I'd like to know where that went too, it had belonged to my mum...it was propped up between a dressing table and the wall.

I've caught up with George Gently .I was near to tears . I hope he lives to fight another day .Trust them to leave us with a cliffhanger .Then I caught up with Downton .I loved it .I don't know if I have the stamina today to get as far as New Tricks tonight .At this rate I'll be catching up on catch up on catch up
Oight Oight .

hello wibblies and wobblies I hope that tomorrow sees you better. I have been doing pottery housework today and making christmas cards. knee is behaving and cramp has subsided. I have the Downton christmas special on and posh tea. Smoked salmon sandwiches with fresh figs and a glass of wine.

My poitrine would be not so much a tour as a 10 day nine night all expenses voyage of discovery.

Am happily ensconced in front room watching Barry Manilow (an old prog but nice!) a cup of milky coffee and two (yes two) choc bars!!!

[LoftyLottie]

Well, I don't like milky coffee or Barry, Neti, but am willing to share the chocolate bars!!

Oight, oight x

[woofgang]

Oight oight all.

For all Biddies with sinus type problems, allergies and catarrh - I bought today from Morrisons Calpol Saline Nasal Spray, which I presume is an easy version of a neti pot or snorting salty water. Suitable for babies from birth onwards and for those who suffer from constant catarrh, allergies. somisotoes. etc. I will let you know what happens..................

[LoftyLottie]

Somisotoes!!!

I should really wear my glasses and have my fingers on the correct home keys when I touch type.

Sinusitis

[woofgang]

yes lottie, the calpol stuff is like sterimar. A good normal start to the day here, I have mint tea and the dogs are snoring.

[netibiza]

Morning all, neti clocking in, if computer lets me, its so slow atm.

Enjoyed Barry last night. Even put another wash out at 23.30, so nothing to do today!

[LoftyLottie]

Good morning all. Neti, where do you find all that washing!!!!

A lovely day so far, as was yesterday. Feel a bit better again, so hope to achieve more today and am off to meet a friend at lunchtime.

Cat is behaving!!

[LoftyLottie]

Neti, you have caused concerned on the Downton Abbey thread!! ;o)

[Robinia]

Morning all...bright 'n chilly, I won't know what to wear to nip out.

shaney I didn't want to spoil George Gently for you by asking questions but I wondered if you knew whether they survive, I was distraught (lol)...I do love Lee Ingleby, if I was younger he'd be my type.
I've been missing new Tricks to watch Leaving...older woman/young man...I needed to make sure they were getting it right :)
Hope you & everyone else feels better today. I'm neither here nor there at the moment.

Can't stop laughing at woofy's 'voyage of discovery' :)

oh, I've had a begging letter from my old university. Apparently "£100 would provide two textbooks".

Surely they could find cheaper ones in Oxfam? I don't want my money to be wasted.

[netibiza]

Just done my roots and thought strange colour, turns out its ceniza (ash) which is OK as long as I don't have a "blue rinse" look!!

[Robinia]

oooh it's a cold wind...

Just keep your swimming cap on neti...

£100 for 2 textbooks?! I've got a 1950s Pears encyclopedia somewhere, they can have that. Everything they need to know and more.

[shaneystar2]

Hello all
Lovely bright sunny day but chilly wind .Hope everyone is fair to middling .
I'm losing my marbles .
Two bags of shopping coming back from Morrisons so put one down to press the button at the lights and walked off without it .Good job a nice man picked it up and shouted after me !
He doesn't die in the books Robinia .In fact the books are nothing like the TV series .Bacchus doesn't feature for a start and they're set in East Anglia ,not Durham .I've raked round the web to see if there will be a new series but can't find anything :(
Yes Lee Ingleby is rather nice !
I watched New Tricks ...Denis Lawson was brilliant .It was very good .
There's lots coming up .That Paradise thing looks good and BONG BING Jno there's a new history series starting which looks interesting .

[Robinia]

oo, that looks good shaney...haha, I left my shopping wheelie right at the back of Iceland on a very busy day last winter. It was a right battle to get at it, I'm surprised someone didn't waltz off with it.

[woofgang]

a hundred quid?????? are they gold plated??????

I am watching new tricks and have george gently and downton stashed.....lovely
By Paradise thing, do you mean "Death in Paradise" it will be brilliant if there is a second series, the first one was very good.

My man who does car boots for an animal charity is coming again tonight to collect stuff which will make a nice space in the garage. I have done him 50 cards as well which is clearing out some of my craft stash nicely as well. I have started on the next fifty cards for my mate who does a fair in the sheltered housing where he lives. Its lovely having the creativity back.

grinning at the Ed's request for politesse in R and S......

thats like asking Torquemada not to get blood on the carpet please
