My school uniform was exactly like st Trinians. Gym slips and pudding basin hats. Straw in summer that went horrible when it rained. Velour in winter. Navy and the dye would run in the rain. We turned up looking like Indians with war paint as the dye ran down our faces.
Sports kit was the best. Wool culottes and airtex shirts.

They would have to spend even more for me to look like Barbie. Very strong corsetry.

That is a very insensitive thing for someone to say. I have foster children, who are now adults. They come to me, not their biologicals!! I have been a birthing partner for my foster daughter. She had twins. I cut their cords and had first cuddles. Blood is not thicker than water. You take care, hugs x

Well it might be good news if it gives you the all clear. My annual MOT is in December. Working hard at my physio so I will be able to get there.

What’s the annual MOT? Do all older people get them in England?

Being a sleek new model, I don’t need an MOT, just a rub down with an oily rag by that bloke that looks like the Levi advert.
Shouldn’t we use the witches outfits for the virtual Halloween party?

Mine is just a prescription review. Bloods to make sure they are not killing my kidneys. Test for vitamin levels. Last years discovered a possible heart condition and a B12 deficiency which meant 6 injections over 2 weeks. I am lucky I can now just take B12 by pills and not have to have regular injections.

Sparkly witches of course. Not all those black robes. Brighten up Halloween. If I had kept some of my husbands Masonic robes I could have dressed as a knights Templar including the sword.

Hi everyone, I’ve been out all day and I’m just trying to catch up with you all.
@RoseGarden @Rajay, @Rosiejack and @Dol1
I’m sorry you’re all having a bad day.
My hands are here for you.
Mind you I’m a fine one to talk, I cried in the club,I cried in the doctors, I cried in the chemist.
But I’m ok.
I’ve been trying to think of a costume for the fancy dress.
After last nights mentioning of the Magic Roundabout
I thought maybe @Woolly could be Florence and I could be Brian the snail.
Any volunteers for Zebedee (Ron?) or Ermintrude (Jane?) and then of course there’s Dougall and Dylan
Love and hugs

My counsellor said if you feel like crying, cry. If other people find it uncomfortable tough.

Thats what I’ve been told, again, today by a counsellor at the club. And the doctor this afternoon.
They all say it’s still very early days and I’ve got to be kind to myself and not expect so much from myself, and I’m not letting Roger down because I told him I’d be ok and I’m not.
I think I’m just a bit sensitive this week because it’s my birthday tomorrow and he won’t be wishing me Happy Birthday when I wake up.
Crying again now but I don’t feel like I’m in the swamp so thats something I suppose
Love and hugs
