Any cheerful news today? (Nothing negative please! 🙂) (Part 2)

that box looks great and reading your post reminded me to take my evening wotzit… aaargh, I keep forgetting but (thankfully) it’s not life-threatening.

Besides forgetting to take my tablets sometimes (and it’s never the morning ones !!!) I think I’m going a bit doolally too - this morning instead of putting on my face cream, I smothered my face with hair gel! What a mess - and it took ages for my skin to feel normal :grinning_face:

:rofl: you are not alone… I’m sure most of us have done something equally daft .. I know I have.

I have to keep things carefully separated to avoid mistakes. :roll_eyes:

Fortunately I don’t use either hair gel or face cream. A friend swapped his glasses cleaner for gold spot breath freshener, hardly amusing for the assembled friends :joy::rofl::sob:

You ought to try it you know. Men don’t pay enough attention to their hair and skin! And the episode with your friend has made me cringe :nauseated_face:

If I was going to use face cream it would be tallow.

I’ve just been sorting out the freezer because I have some Bramley Apples to freeze and also some tomato soup, 3x TOGG (thank you @Mik_Bennett) and 1x TOGGC (thank you @plod) sauces, and I found an apple crumble at the bottom so we’re having that, with some lovely thick custard, for our supper. Yummy yummy in my big far too far tummy :pink_heart: :rofl:

Good to meet someone who likes thick custard. I like to spoon it out of the jug not pour it. Does anybody like cold pizza, especially for breakfast next day?

Maybe just a little too often? :grin:

Yes @plod I like cold pizza but I’m not sure about having it for breakfast ! :pink_heart:

I don’t like pizza, whether it’s cold or hot… but maybe just for breakfast if I don’t have anything else :blush:

I didn’t like pizza until we started making our own sourdough pizzas.

I wouldn’t worry, there’s even a Duolingo lesson about someone making that very mistake

Yes I will eat it, though I usually pop it in the microwave briefly to warm it up a little. Probably not for breakfast unless there is nothing else in the house!

OH used to have one trim per year usually about February, never short back and sides as he had blonde hair which was a hybrid of Robert Plant and Roger Daltrey and was halfway down his back when we first met. My little granddaughter has inherited all this now and looks like a mop of blonde curls. As for manly cosmetics, swarfega was his go to weapon of choice but not on his face

:face_vomiting: Almost as bad as eating left over take away. Cold pizza is an evil thing

My cheerful news is that my daughter is coming for a visit during Toussaint holidays. Getting down here is a nightmare as there is nothing to London until next spring and so Barcelona is our nearest connection to Heathrow where her direct flight lands. Going back is easier for her from Barcelona to Dallas (her old home) and then home from there in less than two hours. Not cheap thanks to the ongoing Iran conflict but prices have been falling over the weekend so BA/AA can fill the plane.

Back to @Rachel05 , may I refer you to Dr. @vero who has totally changed my pill taking experience?

By placing each pill in a tiny spoonful of fruit compote I find I swallow it all immediately without hesitation. Not only that but the little opened tub lives in the top doorshelf of the fridge near the outside corner, thus nearest of all to my eye every time I open the door.

Also I hardly need the daily pill box reminder as I love it so much I go to it hoping it is time. My pill taking has been 100% since receiving the advice and have not had one single episode of horrible taste of a pill starting to dissolve before it goes down. :joy:

Bought one about a year ago.

Works brilliantly … if you can remember what day it is !

I have this, which can be seen at the other side of the room where I keep my pillbox, as long as I remember that it is 2 minutes slow (via internet) it is foolproof. :joy:
