Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

I go out for a couple of hours and the debauchery starts without me :wink:

Now, let’s set up the comparethemerkin.com website…

Course we’ll get sued by comparethemarket but the tabloids will love it (who needs Calender Girls!) and we can pose for the News of the World with our faces blanked out (people will squint at us in the street trying to figure out if it is uk). Excellent free publicity and we’ll need a ViP area in the Celebrity Yurt and parking for all our limos and helicopters when we reach the global Market.

Glad you like the haircut Choccie. Your daughter’s Justgiving page is gorgeous, brought a tear to my eye (s) - fortunately I still have two of those xx

Mary Grace, the one downside I can see is that we might have to model said merkins… in which case I vote that we hire supermodels…

or if that’s not feasible, than I bagsy one of LiF’s sheep… before being shorn, as that should cover everything nicely. So long as it stands still…lmao!

…I can donate a fleece…can dye it…have beads…

Thanks for the help out of the quicksand - it was tricky to see and i was in it before i realised, think it was preFEC nerves.

Just reading about the comments from this thread appearing on Google made me giggle. Have visions of a very excited teenager thinking he’s found a fabulously filthy site and coming face to face with bald, mono-breasted, vomiting, red faced, middle aged women. If that won’t cure him I don’t know what will!

Am now back in the driving seat of this journey and feel fine. This wood and field are looking mighty different to when we started out! The restaurant tent is a stroke of genius! I’m booked for the duration.

  • Can I add to that?

Said teenager will find all of the above but possibly with knitted smirkins attached for lady garden and quite possibly bald sheep prancing around.

Now then you naughty boy - you know who you are - do something more productive! NOT THAT!!!

Put me down for a large sheep LIF, or at least a lamb - I plan to return to my former glory,

Lif, if you’re branching out into knitting fanny-warmers, can you please make sure they’re small enough that won’t need to be shaved? That’s one aspect of losing one’s hair that I am going to appreciate (near enough have to shave to my knees when I want to go for a swim! 8-o)

So anyone else want to book a space in Lif’s craft tent? We already have, erm, TSR(?) with the thievings from her kids’ craft boxes to create LG-adornments, I’m sure there are plenty more of you who are creative enough to produce something that we can sell. If we get the assorted monsters, witches, gremlins, imps and goblins interested in all the produce, they might be too distracted to pester us.

(As for me, I’m not creative at all so I’ll volunteer to write the user manuals for the stuff you produce.)

ROTFLMAO!!!
Wellllll CM…
Hate to say this but being one of the hairier females…I still have a stubble head like Bill the burglar…stubble legs…OH keeps complaining, all arm hair, a smattering of underarm stuff, chin hairs (wtf?)thined but still there LG…BUT all the stuff you have to remove before swimming…if you get my drift!!!
Its not fair!

However craft tent now up n running…pass the scissors…

Ok who has the sheers, spinning wheel and needles, this is me pre Chemo (well near enough) x

Urmmm I have sheep, shears, knitting needles and commercial fleece washing facilities…! Cannot spin very well though!
Nice pic of a Merino sheep there!

Is it a Merino? I just thought its legs were about as skinny as mine and its hair about as curly! x

Looks like knittedmerkinsRus is our new start-up business then!

Thanks Ladies, Bed at 11 last night, woke up 0730…Allthe fairy dust, fairies and lavender did the trick and I have had a pretty good day today (4 days post ec2). My LG looks a bit like a pair of very heavy eyebrows on the face of a very hairless person! Not really sure what to do with it, but hey I cant see it too well due to overhang from all this eating, Why oh Why do I have to be one of those that puts all this weight on during chemo when I was a dumpling to start with. Liposuction tent would be great and maybe a dose of bulemia (sorry, chemo humour, muddles brain) x Alison

Hi Ladies,

Just checking in after a few days away from the woods as have been at BCC forum in Bournemouth, was brill, really informative.

Been out shopping today & have bought wig, arranged haircut & am now the proud owner of a chemo caddy so am all prepared.(lip balm, cream, cola cubes, forehead cooler, thermometer ! Im your woman, will be at 1st aid tent if u need me :wink:

Will now read back through thread & catch up, hello to any new ladies that have joined & hello to all my other fellow campers.

Love to you all

Alison, eyebrows is good description, but getting less Dennis Healey by the day! Thought LG was sparse until yesterday, when realised all I actually have is a fringe… well, at least I have a fringe somewhere on my body, cos it sure as hell aint on my head any more!!! Can feel whole Dr Who episode coming on here…

I’ve got a latchhook or two and some coloured wool that I’m sure I could incorporate into a merkin… and think the craft box upstairs is full of brads/stickers etc…

SCACO(can I call youthat) You don’t look unfeminine at all! I think you look great! If I was a bit younger and looked as good I wouldn’t bother with a wig. I got mine last week but don’t need to wear it yet.At the moment it looks like an old dead fox on my head! My hairdresser is going to trim it on Thursday.If it doesn’t work out I might just hide in the house - only kidding!

IF anyone needs any wool I have bright red, navy or purple double knitting and some pale blue fuzzy stuff. Any takers?

I was just thinking the same SCACO. I don’t look anything like that good with hair, let alone without!

Mary, I think wigs look a lot better trimmed into shape, I would quite like a wig I could do something with style-wise. My hair truly is like my newly adopted profile picture… If it falls out the birds will be glad of it for nesting in the spring xx

Maybe only people called Mary post late!!

I think I’ve turned nocturnal… I could be the camp’s nightwatchwoman x
