Something everyone should know about "BO"

I've been unusually busy this week. We lost one of our own, a nephew my age.my husbands sisters son, he'd been unwell but it was still sudden, if that makes sense. It was a dreadful time for my SIL, made worse by her other son being in Vietnam on holidays with no way of getting in touch, so they held off the funeral until they thought he would be back. He returned on Monday and the funeral was Wed. That time between a death and the funeral is horrid, and so I really felt for them. We drove 5 hrs up the coast,attended the service and then drove back again.We weren't the only ones to do that though,everyone is so spread out. So Thursday I was flat out like a lizard,driving seems to take a lot out of me, later, not while I'm doing it. The service was simple and heartfelt and definitely worth the driving.

Last night I went out....don't fall off your chair. I took my younger daughters boyfriend's mum to the International Womens dinner in our local club. Guest speaker was Dr Feelgood (radio 3aw & girlfriend mag) aka Dr Sally Cockburn. She was really entertaining funny and down to earth, got a laugh and some food for thought health wise. I spoke to her after the event and she invited me to write to her regarding Chloe's surgery predicament. She's on a LOT of boards, so fingers crossed she may have some good advice. Oh and my friend and I had our pic taken with her for the local rag, if its anygood I'll post it up on Friday.

I've been fummaging through old newspapers again, I can't help it, they're so entertaining. Advertising is especially funny to me,there are no euphamisms in old ads, no mistaking what your buying or why you need it.








Biatch!!!



Just in case you want to ,you know ,move things along while you're out






Let me check my diary....ahhh..... busy that day.


someone keeps this advertiser awake at night.




Lost me!! But it works, apparently.



While you're down there....




This'll fix it....



Wonder if they're Nigerian?

  1. Sorry for your loss.

    The ads are funny. Hubby saw one this morning on television for 'My Bona... when the wood really matters.' A mop. For women, I think.
