I have a manicure every 2/3 weeks yet my thumb nails always split mid nail width ways
why I have no idea neither does the lovely girl that does them :-S

I see a whole new thread Sylvia....My nails and their trials....

My nails are also very strong, but when you hit a door or the end of a rail hard enough with your finger straight it means the tip of your nail just snaps off :-(

This is where I've been going wrong all my life, then :-(

Maggie one never ever ever never ever asks permission to flounce :-|

One just lets rip and does it :-D

My lips are sealed, Madge, as is my keyboard


I couldn't suffer the opprobrium which might be generated :-0 :-D :-D :-D

Can I just say, I can't break my nails - it takes major force just to cut the bl**dy things :-S
At my nephews wedding, everyone was given a pot of bubbles to blow as they walked to the ceremony. No-one could break the seal.
Guess who went along piercing the pots with her thumb nail?
Independent types got out their car keys.
May I flounce about my inability to break my nails, and the trauma involved in cutting my even harder toe nails?

Alan why :-(

I am so tempted to do a R t R with that last post ;-) ;-) :-D :-D :-D

:-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Being trauamatatised normally set the hissy off Kay if anyone mentioned me roots or age normally did the trick ;-)

And what about being


Traumatized,,,,,,,,,,,that is a lesson to behold...…



;-) :-D.

Was that a secret Sue ;-)

Allan :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D


Sylvia :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0 :-0

:-D :-D :-D

I actually broke 5 nails over the 3 weeks we were away ............. 2 on the train going and 3 coming home.

It's very easy

a) have someone let the carriage door go just as you are reaching to hold it open for yourself

b) run your hands along the rail on the wall, and forget to lift your finger when you come to the break between 2 rails. Murphy's Law (or someone's law) says that at least once a nail will hit the new rail straight one.

c) just be plain stupid!

Nope, Sylvia bought an economy ticket. The nails were broken whilst shovelling coal into the steam boiler. ;-)

I too wonder how Sylvia managed to break three nails on a train journey...popping the champagne corks maybe??

I broke a nail today taking a very stubborn hockey helmet off a child!!

Oi I’ll have you know that the stapler applied and fired just above my ears cured the chin problem :-P :-P

Sylvia please pray tell how you manage to break 3 nails on a train trip? We need to discuss this it is very worry and giving me cause for concern

Thank you .......

Now to flounce you need to swish hair we never ever flick :-| we need to throw our arms about with fantastic amounts of gesturing . We then make sure we have an audience ( pointless putting this much effect in and no one around to witness it)


Now at this point you can throw yourself on the floor but I strongly discourage this even though it was my signature move back in the day ...

Now you stomp or sashay across the floor, for an announce and flounce I tend to favor the sashay ........still gesturing wildly if you can point your chin towards the ceiling that is great.

Then we prepare to stage exit left >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

of course for extra attention it is good if you head right first and then change course

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

as you approach the door you stop !!!!!!! pose pout get that chin ( just the one Sue ) up in the air ;-)

we then swish our hair left and right please do not attempt this with short hair it just looks like a wasp is annoying you.

You exit the door and give it a good hard SLAM .........you always repeat this just twice....

and you are gone. :-D

That ladies is How you exit the building ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) or announce your departure ;-)

Yep Sylvia,for as long as you like,,,,,but do it proper like.



I know Sues how we suffered and what drama it caused,,,,,,,,,even if someone dared to even go near a display only towel.

;-) :-D :-D.

I broke 3 nails in 2 days during our train trip home after Christmas

Can I make that trauma last for a full year??? :-D

OMG Kay you have mentioned a broken nail. Gawd she made that personal trauma last for weeks and we all suffered :-( :-( :-( :-D
