Where were we? Flipping those darn flat pancakes again

Hello, damn quick work there by MNHQ

Cremo I was taking advantage of the 20% off on Asos. Last night I used the Buffet & the hyaularonic acid followed by rosehip oil. All good so far. I didn't try the niacinamide but will wait for your further reports on it.

Good luck today, BD.

A sad day today as we are off this afternoon to our friend's wake: they are having a private family burial and we're meeting afterwards. They have requested bright clothes and, of course, we will do that, but it seems disrespectful somehow, in my mind, for DH not to wear a suit. Odd really, for I am not worried about wearing something colourful.

Good luck, BD.

Good luck today BD.

Good luck with catching up Stropps.

Good Luck BD

Stropps, I think we need your rellys no.s so we can tell them to fuck iff and leave you alone!

NU, it will be very hard. Will be thinking of you.

Stropps, I agree with BTM.

Herbs, how are your drawers? (S&B innit)

NU, suits are more hard-wired I guess? It will be sad, I hope it goes smoothly. How is his wife doing?

I'll echo the 'Good Luck BD' for today. Hang on in there, girl!

NUF I think suit and a jaunty tie or shirt would be best note to strike today. Hope it goes as well as it can.

I'm feeling on a more even keel after my wobbly day yesterday. Thank you all for your support.

Just got a code for Clarks sandals if anyone is interested....20% off

NU - agree with suit & jaunty tie.

Good Luck, BD.

Best of luck BD No transition is easy or clear cut, but over all this is very positive!

Bit re MMs Clarke code...have just bought DD trekker sandals and ordered in a pretty pair for her and paid full price. Boo.

Have failed to do anything useful yet today, other than watch Homes Under the Hammer, which I do love so.

Meeting DP for lunch then doing Sensible Shopping for DS, such as sandals and bike helmet. Third bike helmet in six months, as he manages to lose them at school somehow. Then perhaps some kind of reward, such as run around the Olympic Park...

Drawer news - still stuck. Didn't see MM's hint of removing bottom via lower drawer - don't think that's possible. It's Ikea, which while sturdy is impossible to dismantle from the outside.

Herbs, other thing I have done is use unwound coat hanger to get inside drawer and wrench The Thing downwards, jerking it forwards so it then catches underneath the lip rather than springing back up.

Can I really have spent as much of my adult life wrestling with drawers as my posts imply?

You're like a Victorian Lothario, MrsM.

Herbs how infuriating. However i do thing an unbent coat hanger might do it.

Skin feels peachy this morning in spite of row with dh and acknowledge sleep. Small mercies.

Thanks Flipflops for code. I am still looking for ideal unfugly walking sandal for Pyrenees.

Acknowledge ??? Lack of

Herbs - would this work?

Am Loling at the drawer advice on an S&B thread

Well, I felt duty bound to suggest something as its obviously causing Herbs more frown lines than she needs :)

Its a tenuous link, but hey....

Gosh you lot move fast. I am pinned to the bed by a surfeit of food. Think I will go for a cleansing breakfast tomorrow. Just seen time of flight on Friday and hardly worth going to bed...

Party the night away surrounded by adoring young men?

Delighted to announced drawer is now open. Purely by the power of jiggling.

I am assailed by smells. Cat pee (on cat), cat poo (in litter tray), blocked drain (outside), compost bin (inside). Opening a window to rid kitchen of indoor smells lets outdoor smells in instead.

Jiggling, jiggling? Wot, no coat hangers, robots, magnets needed?

I know! I opened the drawer underneath, and gave it an extra-special jiggle, with a touch of vertical plane and an attempt at a figure-8.

Ooh, magnets though. That's a wizard wheeze. Though not sure they'd have penetrated the wooden cutlery holder in the drawer...

Have bought a jacket, I'm sure you'll all be thrilled to know. Lightweight, waterproof, windproof, breathable and stylish - something I've been searching for for years. It is a 'block tech' parka from uniqlo, and was put through its paces in a light drizzle on the way home from Olympic park. Glad to report no wetness within, either from rain or sweat.
