Is it just me but I honestly can't bear the term "chillax"

Reminds me of Ex-Lax shock

I have a lovely story about Ex-Lax. After the war my father went to the local American transit base to liberate a stainless steel sink. In a cupboard he found a box of chocolate squares. Chocolate had not been seen for years so all the family indulged......to find out next day it was ExLax!

Brenda grin my dad was also fond of liberating supplies when he was Sgt of the Stores,I remember a delivery of Corn Flakes (out of date mind) ? coming to our house in a LandRover from the base not your everyday box but massive plastic type bags of the stuff we had it for about 18mths I think,I hate Corn Flakes with a vengence to this day.sorry off topic.

I say chillax sometimes though the term is now rather out of date.

Nonu Mon 12-May-14 18:29:11

Actually my SIL uses it I have noticed when he talks of the DG"S, so perhaps it coming back into fashion!

'Aromatherapy' - more quackery...

Grannyknot Mon 12-May-14 23:00:53

feetle call it what you will, but I love my peaceful-sleep-inducing lavender essential oil, starting with a few drops in a relaxing bath, and also sprinkled on my pillow.

Totes chillaxing grin.

Don't you mean totes chillaxballs*[grin|!!! *grannyknot
Nothing wrong with aromatherapy I was " head down, tail up" weeding the border last summer and wondered why it was so pleasant and relaxing? Then I realised I had my head virtually in the lavender which was why I felt so relaxed!!

Grannyknot Tue 13-May-14 14:23:48

LOL Soutra. See, I try grin

Funny thing, lavender was always a sort of a granny thing when I was younger, and suddenly, I get it. Must be because I'm of the granny age myself now.
