FB you shouldn’t be having any sugar in drinks AT ALL, please try to stop.

So you get regular health checks?

FlyingHandbag Wed 12-Aug-20 13:36:03

How much sugar does everyone take? I took three for years, then I started to feel tired a lot, so took FIVE!!! for around 6 months then realised I was going to end up diabetes, so went back to three. X

^I've tried crossbody bags but find them too small^

They come in various sizes! I have an assortment - Tiny for just my phone, keys and tissues and Large for plenty of bits and pieces and even a small amount of shopping.

Do your bigger ones have handles as well as a long strap? Mine do. X

Are you working from home FlyingHandbag?

No, I work half-days in an office, but the type of job I have can't be carried out at home. X

Morning FH! Have you thought of using a cross body bag? It would, perhaps, help you to save yourself when you fall rather than trying to save your handbag!? It's instinct (well, with me anyway!) to save what you're carrying rather than yourself! ??

Morning! I've tried crossbody bags but find them too small, I have a few normal bags with long straps that I carry across myself if I know I'm likely to fall. X

Thanks for your lovely messages!! That's amazing about the pub in Blackpool, I didn't know that. I picked my name as I often fall and drop my handbag (and send it flying). X

Callistemon Wed 12-Aug-20 10:18:38

Come to think of it, that's what I used to do. Perch on the loo, (lid down) and cut my toenails over the bidet.
Isn't that what bidets are for? Unfortunately it never got put back when the bathroom was altered.

Callistemon Wed 12-Aug-20 10:17:04

Difficult, it's in the attic, not plumbed in ?

Bathsheba Wed 12-Aug-20 10:14:49

Make sure to wash your feet afterwards.

You could use the bidet grin

Yes.
You can often find a stool in the bathroom. X

Make sure to wash your feet afterwards.

Soon be 1000 posts and 'Forgot about my tea 2'!

Aah it reminds me of the time when we were in Lanzarote & I purchased a small packet of Himalayan pink salt. It was in amongst the olive oils, vinegar etc so when we got home I popped it the pantry.
A couple of weeks later my daughter was literally "foaming at the mouth" having put some on her salad.
It was of course bath salts! It was a measly sized packet & you wouldn't have had much of a soak with those.

Is there still a circus there? I haven’t been there since 1958.
I am moving over to the warm beer thread now, cheeerio.

JenniferEccles Wed 12-Aug-20 09:28:34

Oh do we know where you come from FlyingHandbag ?!

Are you from Blackpool?

Bathsheba Wed 12-Aug-20 09:17:55

Yup, totally agree Puzzler. FH’s posts are so bizarre they appeal to my slightly off the wall sense of humour.

Nannylovesshopping Wed 12-Aug-20 09:13:57

FlyingHandbag your posts always make me smile, so much more interesting than for instance, the cauliflower cheese one, I still can’t eat said dish yet, although there are scathing comments from some posters, it looks like you amuse lots of us, keep them coming I say. Aargh the dog has just been sick on my foot.......

FlyingH you’re a legend. Don’t be put off starting threads, you’ve gained so many posts on here, it speaks for itself really.

I agree puzzler. FH threads are funny and light hearted. There’s a pub in Blackpool called Flying Handbag!

annsixty I may have OCD. I vacuum the front doorstep and outside doormat as well as is. I found it has such good suction it’s simplest way to get the dust/sand/ bits out of the grooves of said doormat.
My vacuum is called Jimmy, not Henry (after James Dyson).
Hope I’ve kept your attention for ooooohhh.... 10 secs to read this? ?

Marydoll Wed 12-Aug-20 08:12:45

I have just read about cutting toenails. How lovely to find we are all simpatico!?Gransnet at it's best! ?

Not having read the the thread, I too tried to cut my toenails last night, but failed to overcome the numerous hurdles:
*My nails have been replaced by rhino horn
*My stomach gets in the way
*I need a hip replacement, so can't lift my leg
*My back is sore, so I can't bend
*DH can't be trusted, he cut my actual toe the last time I asked him to help.
*If I do manage some semblance of a pedicure, I'm unable to pick up the clippings.

Thank you, FH for such an enjoyable thread x
