My sister was lamenting that they stopped making Curel cuticle cream - she found a batch of it on ebay and bought all of it. It's terrible when things like that happen - something you love disappears.<br /><br />You had a lovely family - I know you miss them so much.

I must look to see if Pepsodent is still available when I go to the supermarket tomorrow. I don't recall seeing it, but then I wasn't looking to buy it, either.<br /><br />There was no father in our lives...he and our mother separated when she was still pregnant with me. Nana and Mum did their best with us kids...and we tried to do the same in return, in respect. Of course, we weren't perfect- far from it! lol<br /><br />Thanks for coming by. ..I hope you had a nice day today. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-38229510880652314272016-05-08T00:04:23.585-07:002016-05-08T00:04:23.585-07:00OH!

Love...OH! I hope you find your MUM deodorant again!<br />Lovely post about your Mum and Nana! Love your wedding photo from 1966, what a pretty bride!<br />Two things I always bring back from England - Yorkshire teabags and my Soft n Gentle Deodorant! I love it! Do you have it in Australia? There are certain ones I like the best, but you can guess, they are the hardest to find!

I gave up on mum deodorant years ago too, I'm a heavy sweater, it just wasn't working, even the anti-perspirant types. <br /><br />I don't remember learning much from my mum, not dad either, after she left. I was left alone a lot, kind of dragged myself through the minefield of growing up. I think I did okay.<br />I like this tribute to your Mum and Nana, they sound like wonderful women, strong and determined and they certainly did a good job with you and Graham.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-36179242895991844102016-05-07T19:43:43.739-07:002016-05-07T19:43:43.739-07:00Hey there Dave....computer problems are the pits! ...Hey there Dave....computer problems are the pits!

Many handmade bows and arrows were our weapons as were sticks as pretend guns if my brother's toy guns weren't handy! <br /><br />What was a Saturday afternoon matinee if a western movie (picture, as we called them in those days) wasn't one of the features!!!!?

They were good mates; they had their "moments", as is normal, but there were always there for each. <br /><br />My dress was a mini, made of linen and my head-piece or whatever it was called was also linen...I loved the one Liz Taylor wore when she married Burton the first time, and modelled mine on hers. I was never one who desired long, flouncy, fairy princess white wedding gowns...they weren't my style...just not me. <br /><br />Thanks for coming by.

Once I set eyes on them there was no way I could take one and not the other. They turn 14 this coming November (they came into my life on 13th December). The way they both behave and boss me around, I think they believe they are human! I have to sit them down every now and then remind them this is not so, but they just shrug their shoulders and go back to sleep! :) <br /><br />Thanks for coming by. :)Leehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15835982875620956300noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-27914104.post-49143536537683467152016-05-06T15:03:54.796-07:002016-05-06T15:03:54.796-07:00Hey, Carol.

The photo is similar to photos from my family, and my Aunty used to wear a hat like that.<br /><br />I wonder why Mum roll-on has disappeared from the IGA shelves? I wonder whether their parent company is in trouble, whether they have stopped making the product, whether IGA have decided not to stock it any longer or if there are just problems getting stock?? I am indeed curious.carol in cairnshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13361149279309934814noreply@blogger.com
