Salon Facial
Have you ever had a professional facial done in a salon? Approx how much did you pay, was it worth it & how long did the effect last? I'd never really thought about it until a friend recently mentioned she'd like one so I'm considering going too - we could both do with a bit of cheering up.

yeah but the agony column is fun....ha ha jno. We have a double garage, it has two doors but inside is one big space. When I had my first car, it wasn't filled with junk and DH's 3 motorbikes and I used to put my car in it (mini clubman) You had to swing very slightly as you reversed out to keep away from neighbours car. Well one day I wasn't thinking, messed the swing and in my panicky attempts to correct ended up sideways across the garage inside it....wish i'd had a camera!!
Anyway i took a few deep breaths and managed to get it out again with no harm done then locked the car, went back inside the house and had a good old tizzy.

sunny here at the moment and the men are due back to finish the bits of flooring they missed last time. As it's not raining they can take their sawing down to the end of the garden. The house is still covered in sawdust from the work they did last time, despite 24/7 hoovering.
Our grass was riz too, neti, but it's now had about 6 inches trimmed off its head so it's sort of normal length again and the wildebeest have nowhere to hide.

now here's a thing. You know that picture of sunrise over my favourite beach that I posted a day or two ago.... well, I've just been watching my Prince Caspian DVD and lo and behold, when they emerge from the tube tunnel into the enchanted world at the start, it was filmed only about 10 miles down the road from the beach. This is it

Gorgeous (though my beach is a lot bigger)

Not my own photo but it was taken in January - because the agapanthuseses are out - ie midsummer, and you can see how crowded it is. That's only about half of it you can see.
Sigh... remind me what I'm doing here...

oh my wild agapanthus, it hardly seems possible. Good morning all, another sleepy start at woofgang towers, spent yesterday sorting out the garage againI am sure that the cardboard boxes go in there and mate and produce loads of little ones, its the only logical explanantion...either that or my internet shopping habit.
Morning All Has everybody been singing in the bath. It's persisting down here at the moment and has been since I got up. What are you all doing today. I'm just dossing. I'm hoping to go to Lincoln tomorrow with my sister and her daughter who has a meeting there. Me and my sis are going to have a tour round Lincoln while she's there. Maybe the shops as well. as the sights. I have visited the Cathedral many years ago when I went up in the tower so I'm looking forward to seeing it again.

Quick catch up for Neti:
Norris - colleague of Mavis's Derek who sold stationery and is now a partner in Rita's shop. Has lodged with Emily for years.
Old gent with Audrey is Gayle's father and he is gay, but he and Audrey appear to be enjoying each other's company again and I believe he lives with Audrey now (not sure of this).
I presume you haven't watch Corrie for quite a while!!!
My mum's illness and subsequent death and Mr LL's now serious illness are preventing me for visiting you all very often - but I haven't forgotten the biddies!! Things are all over the place at the moment.
Hope you feel better soon Robinia. I'll be in touch soon.

Take care Lottie, thinking of you & Mr L xxx
Just creepin' in with my milk & biccies (very USA) ....aches eased a little but it's been such a cold wet day it's no wonder I'm creaky. New bed arrived at last, it's got a lovely layer of memory foam...don't s'pose I'll leave much of an impression on it tho' :o). Not sleeping in it yet 'cos I stupidly forgot to get a mattress protector (any recommendations?...and I don't mean a rubber sheet thank you) & valance & I'm not putting my nice new bedding on only to have to take it all off again in a day or so...it's got that strong new smell anyway so hopefully that'll fade a bit. Lordy, when it's done I'll be waking up wondering where the bloomin' heck I am....and that's not happened for a looooong time. ;o)
I wouldn't mind waking up on that beach jno, it's beautiful..... <sigh>

ooooh memory foam, its just Biddy heaven! It sorted my neck ache that has plagued me since childhood in a week...honestly worth every penny. Ours came with stretch towelling covers so can't advise on a mattress protector ....oh hang on though these folk aren't cheap but they are good

all sorts of different ones, all sizes...I think they do (or did hah ha) rubber too if your taste extends that way
Yes the smell wears off quite quickly
