Lavender Oil

[Robinia]

Can anyone recommend a good lavender oil please? I've bought them in the past and they just didn't smell right somehow. It's mainly for refreshing wheat packs, pillows etc.

I love perfumes....Oh sorry Good Morning Biddyfriends. Found you at last thanks Robi. I forgot to look in myYahoo.
I have had Chanel No 5 and Paris as presents. They're great. I usually us Obsession but I'm getting a bit fed up with it now after about 10 years of it.
It's quite mild here again today. Wearing my thin Berghaus to the Sains. My appointments this week are this afternoon and Wednesday morning. I have changed my school day to Wednesday afternoon. I'm really looking forward to it again. I really enjoy it.
I hope you are all ok and you enjoy your trip to the Shard Jno. I'd love to have a look at it.
Hope your eye is getting less sore Neti.I've no idea what it can be unless it's an insect bite or something like that.

Goinbg to watch Lewis tonight it's that start of a new series. I don't watch much telly but that is one programme I don;t mind watching if I've nothing better to do.

Laters 'gaters!

Hello all
Grey here but mild .Just got back from the hospital with Mr S . They scanned over his bladder but he's got to have a camera up his whatnot sometime soon And that was that .
I watched Mr Selfridge .Very good .But they've changed the format of Lewis Jude .Split it over two weeks ..Grrrr

lord yes, it's only Jan 7, isn't it, woofy. After three horrible chilblainy winters in a row maybe we're back to global warming again. We'd not had any of the bad weather other regions have been getting, so all I want is another mild month then I am off to the south seas for a while.

I reckon that february is going to be poo in the south. I have stopped wearing perfumes since the noro because they still make me queasy, even perfumed shower gel or moisturiser. have just used loccitane shower gel today without "effects" so hopefully normal is on its way

[netibiza]

Just re read my first post and makes no sense at all but can't be bothered to re do it!

Robi, isn't that Mr Selfridge the same and The Paradise, seems it to me although haven't as yet watched it!

[netibiza]

Oh shaney Ihave just bought a 2nd hand small digital camera, if that's any help to Mr S, i'll just take a piccy and save him another trip t the hospital!! He is doing well though isn't he!

[shaneystar2]

I'm flabbergasted.They just rung to say he can go and have the endoscopy on Thursday morning .Now that is good service from the NHS.
Mr Selfridge is a similar thing to The Paradise Neti in that it's about shopping but it's much more flamboyant. Written by Andrew Davies so bound to be good.

[Robinia]

a'noon ladies in lavender...what a dreary day again, I've no incentive to do anything.
Well I suppose The Paradise and Mr Selfridge have similarities neti but the first is fiction and this one's about the real Selfridges...no doubt there's a bit of jiggery-pokery with the story somewhere along the line, there usually is with these things.

Jude I used Obsession for a long time. I've got some Chanel no 5 and my sis bought me Shalimar for xmas, I like the old classical whiffs....I must have a dab of Evening in Paris later :) Not sure if I mentioned it but a neighbour gave me a tiny bottle of La chasse Aux Papillons by l'Artisan perfumes and it's absolutely lovely....at £55 for a 50ml bottle it should be.

Lottie...don't tell us it's 'old lady's perfume' or we'll squirt you with it :)

[Robinia]

woo! It'll be over with by the end of the week, that's good shaney...hope it goes well for him.

[shaneystar2]

I just looked Harry Selfridge up on Wiki.Apparently he squandered his fortune on wine ,women and song and ended up living in Putney in very straightened circumstances .How sad.

[Robinia]

Yes, I'd read that shaney. He came over in last night's episode as a flirt who was actually a bit scared of women...I guess he gets over it :)

[jno]

he did better than Whiteley's, though - I wonder if they've ever filmed his story?

Have just watched Mr Selfridge and it is so similar to The Paradise but much more entertaining, I'm loving' it! When I fled my abusive partner in '71 I borrowed Diana Day's (Beauty editor of Woman) pènthouse flat in Balderton st right opp Selfridges and I remember venturing out to go and look in the store, holding my breath incase my partner found me (of course he had no idea I was there, he thought I was still chained to the kitchen sink!). I appear to have memories of lots of shops!

And Whiteleys was where I went on Wednesday afternoon in 1973 to get my nose pierced as it was the only place to do it in those days (I was over from Spain) and it was half day closing so I missed it, then everyone got their noses `pierced so I didn't.

[Robinia]

You'd better suggest it to someone jno...and I'm sure there'd be room for a small fly on part for a cherub if you ask nicely.
hmm, unfortunately someone took Mr Whiteley's piercing to an extreme.

[netibiza]

Well in all truth I felt like"piercing" Mr Whiteley on that day after I had begged the money from my dad, took a train to London and then I got to Whiteleys too damn late!!!

hello all, teeth intact although according to the nice hygienist, one is looser than the others....she was a rather serious young lady but very good so I didn't try the "didn't duck fast enough in a bar fight" line on her.

[jno]

sounds like you have Robin teeth, woofy. I haven't

(if that works, it seems to have an S in it)

[LoftyLottie]

You can squirt me if you like. I am now using my bottle of Chanel No. 5 given to me at Christmas three or four years ago by SIL. It makes quite a nice air freshener in the loo!! I am being serious.

Am now coughing for England, but it's not on me chest, so keeping my fingers crossed.

See you later xxx

[woofgang]

not as bad as that jno.
