FUNNY SIDE

I know ! we’d get some strange looks wouldn’t we.

I don’t know what age you are but when I was little (Im 53) you never heard words like this. They discuss everything these days. AND I never heard my mum or dad fart !!!

Perhaps we should start a new thread with the title - pee, poo and itchy bits

I’m sure it would be a busy thread!

We could have PPI instead of the DDI ! x

Oh my word this has brightened my day.

I have been off work since dx but go in at least every 6 weeks to say hi etc.My hair was dark brown, shoulder length bob, so when I went in at end Nov wearing my wig which was shorter and a lighter colour every one was very complimentary.We were having a coffee and my lovely, male, boss came into canteen, and bearing in mind he had just come back from Thailand, and also being a man,his comment was,love the hair,very oriental,so I took the compliment.
We met up again for a Xmas night out in Liverpool and started off with a meal.The others told me he was mortified as he had not realised it was a wig,he came to me and said he felt really embarrassed and was hugely apologetic.I told him to buy me a large vodka and I would forgive him but I also told him later that I was pleased that he had not thought it was a wig as the idea is that I wanted to lok natural.I went into work last week after going commando and asked him if liked my new doo - he laughed but I think he still feels awkward-- bless him

hahahaaha very sharp Lizzie

meanwhile - I’m off to do my ablutions and then to bed … not anticipating any out of the ordinary and my knees will be unpadded :wink:

Lilac - I try my best !!!

My mother always to worry whether she had done her “ablutions” every day - bless her. My knees wouldn’t need extra padding, theyre fat enough. Nite X

Mary - I feel for your boss but it was a lovely compliment. I went to the hairdressers the other week for my first colour. The guy who owns the place I have known for many years and I had been in a few weeks earlier with my daughter and he asked how I was so I told him and showed him without my wig. I called in later to make an appointment and he said to the receptionist to make me an appointment - she looked at me and said what do you usually have, a full head colour or foils ??? He just smiled and knew it hadn’t upset me and said - this is a wig ! Poor girl really didn’t know what to do. But things like that haven’t upset me at all. I had it coloured and instead of the brown it should have been it came out as gingery blonde so he had to do it again. It was better but not the brown I wanted. I just went back today and gone darker and now its too dark - but hopefully will lighten in a couple of weeks.

I’d better get off the laptop - think hubby thinks I am ignoring him - well he was watching the footie

Hi Lizzie

Your wig must be of A1 quality if a hairdresser’s receptionist doesnt recognise it! Either that or she was being meg polite.

Ha ! I must say it was a very good one !! xx

Hi Lizzie, thought you were off to humour hubby. Tell him to watch more Jonathan Ross and all the tossers he has on with him!! I am lucky that I have not had chemo so still have hair. However,my hair is so short and fine that perhaps losing it and starting again like when you cut back plants, may be an advantage?

Could be, could be ! Hubby gone in the kitchen to make a cuppa ! I like Jo Brand I’m afraid but he doesn’t. Think he may feel threatened by her !!!

My hair was very straight, fine but a lot of it before and it was brown, with a bit of grey at the sides but it came back GREY . People said they liked it but I’m too young (!!) to leave it grey. (come back dark down below - somebody having a laugh !!) It is also coming back curly and rug like. Great. I used to take a lot of care with my hair and washed it every day to make it look okay as it stood on end when I got up in the morning. Same as mascara - I never went out without it and now I’m waiting for full complement of eyelashes and eyebrows to come back.

Thanks for your comments on other post. Have replied. You made me feel so much better and can’ thank you enough.

Switching off now. Nite nite

You,ve really cheered me up girls. Best topic ever. Ater my reconstruction I caught an infection in my stomach muscles so I’m useing a vac machine to help heal the wound. Great fun when your out. My friend took me to mass the other day so we were sat in church when my machine made a farting noise. The people round us started looking and tuting, My friend and I coulndnt stop laughing this kept happening for the rest of the mass it was great fun childish I know. Chidren can be funny mine keep telling me I smell (its the machine I promise) Well I hope to speak to you all soon xxx

Before starting chemo i had hair cut very short (spiky and trendy??) I am 59…
OH took me away to posh hotel before Chemo 1 and one night dressing for dinner i said " Damn cant do a thing with this hair!" Never mind he says “its better than nothing”…

Your post made me laugh! My mobile plays the great escape tune. Now and again I forget to switch it off. I dread the day when it rings during mass. I bet a lot of people would make for the door!
