Sending Jewellery to Australia

[Robinia]

Is it ok to send silver or costume jewellery to Australia? (Just a small gift for my granddaughter).

[woofgang]

sounds like a successful purchase then!

[LoftyLottie]

Glad you are pleased with it Robi!

[Robinia]

Yes, as pleased as Neti is with a new gadget :) A new baby & a new handbag in the same week, it's cheered me up no end! And thanks to all the persuaders...it's what you said, understated, very very soft, amazingly light and a lovely size and colour (goes with everything, I've tried :)). I'd love a black one...and a brown...and a blue...If I take good care of it it'll hopefully last for many summ...err, years. Are all leather protectors the same? I've got some for my shoes/boots.

Lovely day here...went to the docs for my dizzy pills but it wasn't my own gp and I wasn't impressed, I tried to talk to him but he's obviously one of those glorified pill dispenser types so I took my prescription and went. I'll try the lady doc next time, I need to find one I like before mine retires, I've a feeling he's winding down. The rib pain is travelling round my back today, so it will be another minimal effort/watch the tennis day.

I'm pleased you're getting out again Jude....
...and neti, please see someone about your eye... most other ailments are mañana, mañana but with eyes I don't hesitate.

I'm still 5' 7" it seems...anyone know how to get felt tip off the door frame? :)

Sorry shaney I didn't see you there earlier.

Got eyedrops (1 drop every 6 hrs, so I am 10 drops every hour) seems to be working, if it get bad there's always urgencias over the weekend. I sometimes get a spot on my septum, always very embarrassing, so I hack away at it until there's just a red mark, but sore.

Was just getting into my housework stride, when Mr N came home, that always puts me off, luckily I changed out bed and got that dry and put away, was going to hoover through and do the ironing but he's just lolling on one of the sofas and in the way, so am in the bedroom with the fan on watching TV. Annoys me no end when he's here when he shouldn't be!!!

Glad you got the bag Robi, now you can sit and play with it.

having a weird day today here, very zonked again but this time I haven't taken anything that could have caused it apart from those blessed hamburgers. Could it be my age?

[woofgang]

yes all spray leather protectors are the same, its worth doing a teeny test first as they warn that sometimes it can darken the colour but in all the years I have used one it never has.

[Robinia]

Yep, old age woofy...imagine how you'll feel in a year's time when you're my age :)....it could be the change in the weather. I expect I'll just be used to it and it'll go back to cold.

I haven't ironed anything for weeks and weeks Neti. I will iron a good shirt for Mr LL if he needs it, but he seems content in T shirts, old trousers and old shirts that he works in in the garden. None of my stuff gets ironed unless it gets creased in an ironing pile.

Were a couple of swells

[netibiza]

In winter there's no ironing cos it gets tumble dried and that sorts it, but summer time, Mr N wear lots of polo shirts and smart shorts for golf, will not have him looking like a tramp among the others there. I always have to iron hija's bedding, duvet cover and 3 pillow slips every week, all both sides, as I cannot stand creases. I bought them from tchybo(??german place) and they need ironing every wash. Normally I don't bother and my bedding is fine with just being washed, luckily as it's king size.

[netibiza]

Woofy, you are one of the young ones, how can it be your age?

[woofgang]

okay maybe its my extreme youth ha ha

[Robinia]

My feet will be a couple of swells if it gets too hot. Just watching tennis but I'm really wanting to see Andy, it could be hours yet

Love this, bless him..

[netibiza]

^me too Robi.

[woofgang]

clever dog! Mine would pee up it!!

[LoftyLottie]

I long ago gave up ironing any bed linen, except pillow slips if anyone stays. I line dry all year round, but I have an iron cycle on my trouble dryer of 10 minutes and it takes the creases out, so I use it after every line dry and fold sheets straight away and put things on hangers straight away too. I absolutely hate ironing and I can't do it now anyway because it does my back, arms and legs in.

I think Mr LL quite likes looking scruffy, but he can scrub up very well if he so desires. I must admit when he goes to B&Q or another exciting store he goes in his tramp garden outfit and never bothers to change. But he is a jeans person more than a trouser person and I don't iron our jeans.

Just going to watch Robi's videa

[LoftyLottie]

Absolutely loved the video - so did Alice cat, who was trying to catch the dog on the computer screen whilst the dog was trying to get the 'man' to throw the stick!!

[netibiza]

Robi, are you sitting there with your new bag on your lap, and putting things in and out??

[netibiza]

Shaney, Luther is on the One Show tonight!

[LoftyLottie]

I have been backwards and forwards looking after various dogs all day. Fortunately, it's not everyday that is as busy.

Could you use my services Woofie. I am very cheap and very good with all pooches. ;o)

[woofgang]

only if you would get up at 4 am and take them for a run in the forest Lottie??
