I got through all my school years without nits, never had them once. Plenty of pulling about and tut tutting by the nit nurse though...

Then when my kids went to school, the almost constantly had them! Needless to say nit nurses had been abolished by then.

Ever has a "perm" Daff? I can well remember my mum saying whenI was about 9 or 10 - I'll treat you to a perm cos your hair is so straight! Right I thought, lovely........ - WRONG!!!!!!!!

A bunch of frizz for months on end (and ginger with it as if the frizz wasnt bad enough!!) It took me ages to forgive her for that, not to mention the months it took for the scabs to drop off me earlobes from the blessed perm lotion)))))

Barbara..........use your nose or toes:))

Shimms......fine thank you, we've been sorting out the greenhouse this afternoon, our visiting hedgehog has arrived, she usually has a litter of babies in there so we've made her box of hay up for her.

Jac please stop making me laugh... I might not have got pneumonia, but I did have chest problems, lolol.... like it got too big too young... I think my mum was trying to hide *them* lol It was about then I started having the really dodgy haircuts as well... I always got the trainee who had been there three weeks and had only ever swept the floor, never held a proper pair of scissors in their life, lol It was all part of a plot!!

I have had dodgy haircuts even now... and actually quite like my hair the length it is, lol..... about 1cm all over!!

Love

Daff xxxx

Hi Kitty

How's you my friend? xxx

lolol Kitty.... I used to almost strangle myself every time I got de-kitted at school!! By the time I got my coat, scarf hat and gloves off, it was dinner time... off I'd toddle fer me dinner.... and then the teacher used to send me straight back to the cloakroom to start getting re-kitted ready to go home, lolol ;¬))

Hello Heidi... thank you *huge blush*. It was folk on here who kept me laughing, mind, lol..... and my original prognosis wasn't wonderful, so it was a case of get on with it or else, lol. I really have been one of the very lucky ones!! I hope your dad is ok now?

Love

Daff xxxx

See Daff - you didnt get pneumonia as a kiddie did you? so it beddy worked!!! I still have my balacalava - I'll send it to you shall I - it's corpo. green with a yellow sort of bit where my mam obviously hadnt unpicked me brother's old jumper properly and had to join the wool.

It's at the back so you cant see that bit - you'll look good in it I promise and it will keep the germs away (and the local population I should image as well) ))))

Brilliant TW.........

Jac, My balaclava was red, but mam ran out of wool, so all around the face rib was white... my Gran found some fluffy white swansdown and stitched it all around, so I looked like an eskimo, lol!! My Welsh wool scarf was safety pinned at the back and crossed over at the front so's I wouldn't get pneumonia........ I was always cold as a kid!!

Love

Daff xxx
