lololol @ Sharron

I'm trying to picture you in a pair of purple winklepickers :-D They would definitely keep them in order.

Pmsl Sharron.

I think Scozz means me to visit, being Purple, lol!

I know you are fiercely independent but maybe your 'tribe' like to be needed and think they are 'looking after' you.

I was thinking more of the lines of an enormous amethyst crystal in the toe of a lavender coloured sock!

That would keep the buggers in order!

Poor you Sharron........ one is bad enough, but THREE!

My friend would suggest you surround yourself with lavender........oil, flowers & colour...... wear something lavender/purple......... and she would also suggest getting some amethyst crystal, keeping it in your pocket & sleeping with it (in your pillowcase). Light some pink/purple candles (stick some lavender oil in them).

Yes, I did say my friend.......... she's also my "teacher"

I was stressed a while ago, did most of what she suggested....... but I don't own any lavender clothes (except for a scarf someone gave me)....... I'm not yet at the stage of wearing lavender floral frocks......... that will have to wait until I join the CWA.

That is all a bit deep.

They are all fine as they are, it is just that having the three of them is like having three huge three year olds about.

Can't fault Fred's mate. He has taken on the garden. Neither of us know anything about gardening, it was where your dad went to get away from you, and we are learning together but he does look to me to know what to do and tell him what to grow.

It is probably my own fault. I do tend to let people get on with it.

A friend said his children liked going out with me because I would let them hang themselves if they wanted to.

When I was sanding the front room floor, M was varnishing it.

I don't know why, I varnished it myself the first time I did it.

Fred's mate has always brought the tree and decorations out of the loft for me because I have never been up there. This year M was involved as well (in charge) and there were different parts of two trees going up and down that ladder all afternoon. We ended up with the tree I didn't really want and not all of the decorations because he said we had enough now.

A couple of years ago OH decided he would tidy the herb bed (a one-off experience) and threw the one wild strawberry runner I was nurturing into the dustbin (!) without telling me because he decided it was dead oregano (!).

They had just better not touch my lavender oil !

Oh Carol, that's a bit much lol You must ask for a compensatory pressie from the dog rent or are your services being offered for free?

Sharron, they must surely be driving you up the wall, no wonder you need lavender tealights, bless you.

Hope both of you can rise above these problems and make some rules of your own

Since Molly Dog & George Rabbit died we have had no pets of our own.

OH says he does not want another dog ... but he tells anyone who has one that We will look after it if they want to go away. That's the Royal we that means ME.

Molly dog was a small spaniel ... not a huge Cane Corso that drawls over everything, a lab that constantly wants me to throw things down the garden or a pug that sounds like me before I do my morning puffers & is on my lap if I dare to sit down.

One would be alright but I have three of them shifting things about and all knowing the best way to do everything.

Even worse than that, OH has invited his mother round for a cup of tea!

I am having big problems with stress at the moment and I really am not surprised.

There is a troupe of strange men running my life. My OH, Fred's mate and M are always there to make even the simplest thing as complicated as possible.

I knew exactly where the cat's flea treatment was and also the tea lights for the oil burner in which I use an enormous amount of lavender oil, and who can blame me?

Wishing to despatch the cat's little visitors I went to get the treatment which was, naturally, not where I put it. It was where I had left the tea lights.

The tea lights were under the kitchen table along with the assortment of things they have stashed there since I thought I might decorate the front room and they decided they could do it better and the spirit-level, my spirit level, which they had found in MY shed and were hell bent on taking round to the man at number five because they had decided it was his.

Please, if you have any strange men of your own, remember that this is not a charity. I do not knowingly take in strange men. I do not, in fact, know exactly how I came to have this collection.
