You may have me beat!!! I lost my sunglasses & they were on top of my head.. When I went inside, I didn't want to lose them, so I pushed them up on the top of my head. Then when going back out, I couldn't find them. !!! The worst one I ever did was when I was in my 30s. I carried a purse that weighed 40-50 pounds & lost it. I looked everywhere!!! I was even bending over & looking under the sofa & chair. Well, when I finally found it, it was on my shoulder. Every time I bent over, my hand had to be touching it. Boy did I feel dumb!!!

It's always good to remember to check the plug! My week started just about an hour ago. I woke up to terrible a wild beastie growling... turned out to be my husband, snoring. Once I found my earplugs, I tried to get back to sleep but felt something crawling on my arm. That turned out to be another TICK! Oh, how I hate those creepy bugs!!!!!! Luckily, it's Memorial Day here in the States and all the stores are having huge sales. I'm going out in a little while to buy some stuff to spray on the lawn that is supposed to kill these nasty little bloodsuckers. I did that last year and noticed a significant decrease in the tick population as well as the spider and ant populations as well! I really don't like using chemicals but this is an exception... I'll do anything to keep those nasty bugs out of my house and off ME!

Lol Marti The amount of mistakes I make specially with my A as the key is broke, so if I do not press hard enough the A will be missed out lol I hope you got rid of that Tick, that is awful Thank goodness I have never had the unpleasant experience

Oops, I just re-read my response and noticed that I'm not quite awake yet. My brain doesn't kick in until sometime after I wake up, usually a couple of hours. Anyway, I MEANT, "I woke up to a terrible wild beastie growling..." and also, I used "as well" twice in the same sentence. It bugs me (although not nearly as much as ticks do) when I see errors I've made in English grammar, spelling or punctuation, so I had to correct myself. Don't worry, I never get upset when anyone else makes these errors, unless they claim to be a great writer or proficient in the English language or something like that. THEY should know better.

Oh Gabs sweetheart that was so funny! Sorry for laughing but you put a smile on my face and I can sure do with that right now, two good things that have started my week off well, the cool temperature, bank holiday and now your hairdryer episode! I do not look forward to this time of the year as I hate the Summer with a vengeance nearly as much as I hate the month of June, I dread it, and here we are June tomorrow so I am going to enjoy the last day of May. Give my love to Gissi. Lots of hugs to you both xxxx

Hair drier - hair - that would be BLONDE hair, right? Gaby, I thought your blonde moments were over and done with. If these continue I might be sending you a bottle of hair dye! Well at least you didn't hurt yourself.

Hi Margery that is certainly very good Was the Dinner nice
7 Jun 10
yes it was lovely, he does minced beef, with chopped veg(carrots, peas, onions) with sliced potatoes baked on the top and bunged in the oven. we have cauliflower and broccoli and with mine i always add my favourite, tomato puree, not tom/sauce, which i hate, but the puree added to my mince, and it tastes superb. The only downside is the washing up !![em]doh[/em. This monday, today, was totally different, i had to work all day. very busy as catching up on weekend queries from customers, plus all their complaints. and tonight it is raining , goodbye summer !

You must be from my side of the family! Tell me, when the power goes out do you have an uncontrollable urge to vacuum? Do you go into the bathroom and flip the light switch?? I have a hair dryer, but I don't use it on my hair. I use my hair dryer to start my fire in the fireplace. After the winter season the hair dryer gets put away until winter comes again. When I went to get my hair trimmed the person cutting my hair asked me if I had a blow dryer. I told them I did but didn't use it on my hair...the guy about fell over when I told him I used it on the fire in the wood burning stove. I have had fits at my stereo when it wouldn't work. I got really upset and then found out the same thing, that it was unplugged. My Mom used to have that problem frequently, including when she was vacuuming. She would try to start the vacuum and it wouldn't run. I'd hear her swearing and come running. I hate to say how many times I fixed the problem by plugging in the vacuum...and watched Mom get really red in the face from getting pi$$ed either at herself or maybe me. I never found that out. Welcome to the Loverbear family!

hi gabs awful just the pits,I was congested all night so could not get much sleep as my nose was almost shut, then my roommate who sleeps a lot in the daytime was up all night running to the bathroom and standing outside the door when I was in there mutteringto herself.ggr she says would you hurry up,now how the heck am I supposed to hurry up peeing? so I just got about one hours sleep, then I try to mylot today. She gets a message over the intercom she has a phonecall. I get up to go to the bathroom and she buzzs by me saying get out of my way, I have to go and I am saying back well damn I have to also. so she pushes me outof her way and I stand there trying to keep from wetting the floor. I am not a mean person but really when you gota go you gotta go. he he.Its ten pm now and she is snoring so maybe she will not be up all night and keep me up to. I have had to take several naps today and I am not one to nap in the day time. but I felt just awful. my rant for the day.love and hugs from hatley to you and my little man in the doggy suit Gissi.

Oh you had me fooled there... Well it is easier to dry hair here, since it doesn't get so cold and it's not humid. This time of year I hardly ever even use my blow dryer. I guess that's why they last so long for me. I'm on my second one - my whole life! Anyway, the week started with grocery shopping and a Memorial Day barbecue with the family.

My week started out okay for me. You made me smile Gabs but I relate because I have done the same thing myself! I had awful computer problems for a long while and I got so paranoid about it after it was fixed that one day I lost the plot completely when I had no Internet connection! My husband walked into the office and calmly turned on the router and there was my connection! You would think the router would be the first thing I would have checked before panicking! I think these incidents tend to happen more often when you are very stressed out and at a stage where one more thing would push you over the edge! You are not alone dear...
