Good Morning Saturday

I believe that having a kind trustworthy face is better than any false perceived 'beauty' that can be washed off at the end of the day.

You are too kind dragonfly

I believe it ann

My only problem with all Aldi creams, which are probably very good, is that they sting the eyes something r....n.
The only one I use now is the £2:99 serum under my moisturiser which is whatever is on offer when I need it.
At82 I look about 70, believe that if you will ?

I'm guessing that you're really 22 but now look 36...????

Ok, joke over?

I have used the serum for years since it won something and only look about 35 now. I use Nivea moisturiser.

Thank you Marydoll ? and Curlywhirly?
It's great to be back but sad to know so many of you have needed hospital and GP visits. Here's hoping you get all meds and appointments sorted PDQ.
Wow! £80 per pot? I'd want a face lift for that price but I'm very happy with the results so far with Lacura. The prices are unbelievable, mind you, I've never splurged on face cream.
Usually use Ponds, Nivea, Astral or Bio Oil plus some of the products in the M&S 2018 Xmas Advent calendar of which I bought two and I've just started the second box. ?

GabriellaG54 welcome back! I totally agree with you re: Aldi's face creams. I have tried all sorts, cheap ones, expensive ones, even tried one given to me by Good Housekeeping Magazine (I am on their Customer Survey list); it turned out to be a make I have never heard of, but was stocked by Harvey Nicks - £80 a pot! Still prefer the Q10 Aldi one!

Welcome back!

After noting your questionable error Urmstongran, I was going to write 'Oh shit' but maybe not a good idea...??
Today I went for my twice daily run along the beaches and right around the island twice.
Mind you, I do stop to chat whenever I meet the locals and yesterday a girl and her dog accompanied me on one circuit...the youth of today can't keep up with the old guard...tee hee hee ?
Sun and cloud in equal measure so far but the views are to die for...well, not quite but you get my drift.
There'll be nothing left on the shelves when I arrive home on Monday but I can live on bread and water, no prob.
I bought a 50ml pot Lacura Q10 night cream (£1.65) and their Q10 day serum (£2.99) from Aldi online before travelling and cannot believe how effective they are, so much so that I have ordered 6 pots of the night cream and 2 serums plus a caviar day cream in red pot which is around £6.
They are seriously worth it.
I'm 75 but now look 14 3/4.
Do I hear laughing...? ??

Now I'm off to have lunch and a chat with some people in the pub...just water for me and I may get an invite for tea later if I'm lucky.
Meanwhile, warm thoughts to everyone reading this and I hope your day is a happy one.
Keep smiling
Gabriella
BTW, Urmstongran, don't forget your autograph book and selfie stick tonight ??

No shortage of t.rolls in my two local shops !

So funny.

Someone on the radio explained why the rush on toilet paper. There is no shortage yet, except what they are creating, but it's to do with perception of dirt. Dirt = germs = virus = diarrhoea.
The selfish gene is another thing. .
When I was a small child I washed with a flannel which was then boiled.

^in days of old, when knights were bold and paper wasn't invented,
You wiped your arse on a piece of grass and went back home contented^ anon.

In Sainsbury’s yesterday,a family had a trolley piled high with toilet rolls etc,the dad was pushing the trolley and the mum and daughter were walking besides him carrying so much pasta the mum dropped her supply.It was just pure greed,no pasta left on the shelves,no loo rolls?

Good morning all, I'm fairly new here but love to read the thread.

I shopped yesterday at our local asda and a bloke was coming out as I went in with a trolly packed with the giant size packs of toilet rolls!!!!! I felt like kicking him in the nuts and running off with the lot, selfish people make me mad. None left when I got in. No pasta or hand soap. Well I hope these selfish people all get diarrhea!!!

On that note have a lovely weekend.

Oh PS couldn’t get any loo roll at all yesterday when I took my dad shopping . Selfish beeps have cleared the shelves.

Not sure what to do??? My husband has an appointment for ultra sound scan on Monday andI have one, different hospital, about a lesion ‘spot’ on face, either seem urgent but if we cancel how long will we wait I wonder.

Just a very quick good morning from the NE coast today where it’s very dull and grey but not raining.....yet.

The wallpaper for Evie’s room did not arrive yesterday despite me paying an extra £5.95 for 3 day delivery . My DD just kept getting texts from the delivery company (Hermes....how are they still in business? their reviews are shocking) to say delivery was out with the driver and would arrive today. Well there was someone in the house all day and it did not come .

I’m at DD’s now as she is at work and I hope it comes today but so far not a word. Managed to get a few other jobs done in a bit of a topsy turvy way. Curtain pole up, curtains hung (nowhere near wallpaper) new shelf unit built up and books all organised. All done with the wonderful assistance of my 22 month old apprentice.

Will catch up with this lovely thread later. Have a good Saturday everyone (my 2nd favourite day of the week) .

Love Gillybob xx

Good morning from a sunny Italy. The weather is the only good thing here at the moment.
We have enough food etc. to last a while thank goodness. We also have our forms if we need to venture out. We do not have any masks as there are none to be had anywhere.
I'm sure we can find plenty to do in the house and garden. Keep safe everyone.

Good morning from a sunny Costa Blanca ?. Had a lovely lunch up in the rustic restaurant yesterday. Everyone enjoying listening to the music and having a nice time. At the end of our meal the owner came to us with tears in her eyes to say that as from midnight the whole of the Valencia region had to close all bars and restaurants. She had food for days that will have to be thrown away, such a shame. No pornstar martini for me Urmston! Not having enough food in the house now we can't go out, went to the supermarket early, it was heaving. Plenty fresh stuff, no pasta, eggs or meat. Very little chicken left but got some. This is how it must have felt in wartime. On a brighter note, the sun is shining, it's a beautiful day and about to make scrambled eggs with smoked salmon. Is it too early to open the cava to go with them ? Hope everyone has a good day, keep safe.

Good morning from a damp but sunny at the moment Glasgow.

Such a lovely spring day yesterday which I enjoyed pottering in the garden and inspecting everything that has sprouted giving many areas life again. Two coffee breaks sitting in the sun. Bliss. I noticed a bone on part of the roof no doubt left by a fox having a midnight feast?

No set plan for today as DH did a supermarket shop yesterday, no shortages on the shelves apart from the usual. What I don’t understand is why anyone would be stock piling loo roll??

Have a pleasant day all.

Good morning from a damp grey Essex. Did pop out to hairdressers yesterday so at least my hair will look nice even if I can't see anyone. My DC have decided I'm in the risk age group so no cuddles with DGC. Missing them already but we will do what is required to keep safe. Lunch in London today with my cousin is cancelled. Her DH is a GP and advised against it. May just have to join Urmstongran on the cocktails. Have the pass the time somehow!!! ??
Lots of jobs lined up for the impending isolation but like the "don't touch before Xmas" post, I don't want to start too soon in case we are in for a long haul!! Keep safe everyone xxxx

Good morning all.
I read every day but seldom post on this thread.
I am used to reading weather reports from round the country , now it is mostly shopping shortages, cancelled plans etc.
I am now, like others, getting alarmed.
I am scheduled for a hip replacement in less than 2 weeks.
I am self isolating now until that time but also very concerned it will be cancelled.
I am not alone, but being selfish on my behalf.

Good Morning All x
A cloudy start but dry and calm. The gulls were squawking earlier so I think winds aren't far away. I don't mind hearing them but they drowned out the lovely tune from the " resident " blackbird. We have lots of finches here too.

More work to do indoors I think, and seeing that the bins were emptied yesterday I'll refill them with the old creams/lotions and those horrible nylon sponges that seem to breed.

Whether the teen GGC will pop in today I'm not sure but they usually do on a Saturday. It's always nice to see them. I don't know when their dad's funeral is there hasn't been any information and we're not sure if there had to be an inquest.

My D's friend is due from the U.S. on a visit soon so we're not sure if that'll take place. We'll wait and see. This infection has put paid to everything.

Hoping everyone is remaining well, just enjoy the day as best you can. Thoughts to anyone worried or under the weather. xx

Good morning all from the Scottish Borders. I'll be able to pick daffies for the café tables today. Cake baked. We'll only close if we have no customers but there'll be no touching.
We had to take our French lass to the airport in the night as her family want her home. Our son is working from home. Strange times.
Hoping everyone has a good day.
Ginny those blue cluster flowers are muscari or grape hyacinths.
Glad to hear your DD's wedding plans are going ahead Marydoll
