Actually scratch that. I'd like to go out like Avon in the Blake's 7 finale here.

I wouldn't recommend it. I'm gone 70 and by continuing my healthy active lifestyle I'm enjoying my 70s as much as my 50s.
What does annoy me is people reaching a certain age and suddenly deciding it's then a downhill slide.

Blind boils. I have a humdinger of a golf ball sized fleshy mass in my right armpit and no amount of poking, prodding, squishing and squeezing will get the damn pus out. It's so big it's awkward and painful to sleep on my side and now I have to smother the blasted thing in magnesium cream in a bid to bring it to a head. Failing that, it's off to the doctor for a lancing which I have no doubt will be incredibly painful.
Urgh. This wouldn't have happened if I wasn't forced by society to have "smooth armpits".
FFS, Amanda Palmer has hairy pits and she rocks it. Why can't I?! :mad:

My OH being a twat. He doesn't like me wearing makeup, thinks I look better without it. Thing is, I always wear makeup. And I'm not a fan of natural makeup either. I like my smokey eyes, my red lips and my defined eyebrows. He hates it. He tells me red lips are for hookers. Red lips are my signature thing. I have so many red lipsticks. The more red, the better.

I get up in the mornings pale faced and eyebrowless and he tells me I'm beautiful.

Anyway, tonight his brother and his brothers girlfriend are coming over for wine and beer. I got my face on, didn't bother dressing up, just my makeup. And you'd swear I was responsible for the world ending the way he's going on. "Why are you bothering?" "It's only X and Y", "you look better without that muck", "You're so vain, nobody cares what you look like".

Yeah. Cheers buddy. I care, but what does that matter. Grr.

Also, being too lazy to wash the blender, so putting water and washing up liquid in it, and blending the water around it, except I put too much water in, the lid shot off and drowned me and the counters. Fml

Is it an ingrown hair? Heat, salicylic (sp?) acid, a tweezers and patience will help. Use the SA on it to try draw it out. Just heat it up (warm facecloth), make sure the tweezers are sterilised and roll the lump between your fingers until something shoots out. With the blood/pus the hair will appear (hopefully) if its deep down keep rolling, then grab with tweezers. I get these on my bikini the whole time. It's like a fetish getting them out now

Forget the magnesium paste, you'd be better off rubbing vicks vapo rup on it. It numbs it down. Lancing is a quick and HUGELY PAINFUL solution, but I found that it made mine more frequent. Do you have a dermatologist treating you?

And if he complained that you only looked stunning when you have your war paint on, you'd be complaining as well, wouldn't you. Be honest! Ah well; as Albert once said; ''that's wimmin for ye''. Or something like that.

Thanks for the advice. I went to the chemist yesterday to get a drawing cream (magnesium sulphate cream) and I've got some on covered with a breathable plaster. My chemist told me not to touch it so I won';t but I think you're right about the ingrown hair thing- the boil appeared about 2 days after I shaved my pits. I sometimes get small pimples but never anything like this. I'll give what you suggested a try and hope for the best. Cheers.

EDIT: Just noticed the Vapor Rub trick. Might just try that. I looked up "lancing a boil" on Google. NOPENOPENOPE.

ON TOPIC: There is no drinkable beer in the house. I refuse to drink Budweiser- it's swill.

Having a pimple on the inside and outside of the same nostril.

I don't get pimples often, but when I do they're baxtards.

Ugh. I don't know how many different presenters they've had but the girl presenters always fit the same description... Cutesie "kooky"-ish butter-wouldn't-melt London girls with the exact same accent, same voice, who can have "the bants" with the production crew on camera. They've ALL been like that. Move on, ffs.

Going to the bathroom before bed. Getting into bed, getting comfy, settling into being baby spoon for the night, needing to pee again but being conflicted about falling asleep and ignoring it or disturbing both of us and getting up.
Not being able to stick the discomfort any longer, so getting up, going to bathroom, and getting settled back into bed.
Needing the bathroom again. WTF

I've needed to pee three times in the past 20 minutes, what's wrong with me!!

Heckler

People who drive in to a garage, stop at a pump and then go in to get fags, paper whatever without getting fuel. Especially when theres plenty of forecourt parking away from the pumps and i'm waiting behind them to actually get some petrol. ****.

Small bladder syndrome. It only happens at night when you want to sleep...every night. Never happens during the day when you're wide awake unless you're standing in line, at the dentist and in the chair or while you're on the phone (before cellphones) or in the middle of your fav tv program you've been waiting weeks to see such as the season opener of Downton Abbey.

The fact that it costs so much money to join a gym for a year. Also, is it too much to ask for a simple pay-as-you-go scheme gym for us lesser mortals with low incomes? I just want to get healthy but you're making it so very difficult when you put the prices beyond what I can afford. :mad:

I'm pretty sure there are a few PAYG gyms in and around Dublin. Have a quick Google, there. PAYG always works out more expensive, though. Some gyms let you pay monthly if that's any help.

You might be better off buying some gym equipment in Argos and doing it at home, if money is an issue.

It's so annoying! I've been up two more times since posting this. And snapped at the OH. I don't know what's wrong with him this weekend but I can't do anything right, he's just grumpy with me all the time. He knows I'm a fidgety sleeper, yet he chooses tonight to give out about it. So now I think I am getting a kidney infection, am sleeping in the spare room on my own, am crying from frustration (I'm not sad) and I can't even wipe my eyes because I don't want to rub off the eyelashes that took me an hour to put on earlier.

Tell him to p1ss off I could have written the first half of your post! Hate people bugging me about makeup, oooooh who are you tyring to impress?? Like you have to be trying to impress someone if you want to look your best. I feel better with makeup, so I wear it, for ME! Not for anyone else


ps is there anything more headwrecking on a monday morning than trying to get the eyebrow colour in even? Remember asking a friend once if they were and she very politley replied that they were....but one was more surprised than the other! :P

I don't want to be a buzz kill, but you've only been living together for a few weeks. This should be the honeymoon period, maybe living together isn't working out for you. I'm not saying you should split up, I'm just saying that some people, no matter how much they love each other, can't live under the same roof. Whatever the issues it sounds like you both need to have a relaxed chat over a couple of drinks and discuss it calmly and honestly, without blame and accusations.

Simples. Whaaaaasssssuuuup. Does exactly what it says on the tin.
People who shoehorn advertising slogans/catchphrases into everyday conversation, made worse when it's not even relevant.

I think thats a common misconception about moving in, at least for me it was and it just caused even more stress because I was freaking out over every little grievance when in reality we were just getting used to each other and it made me think we weren't going to last. I snore so at night he'd poke me awake to get me to stop so it caused issues but since I lost weight I only snore when I'm really stressed or extremely shattered and hes got used to it. He'd also be grumpy and inattentive at times and it would lead to arguments and me being pissy but I grew up and stopped being so sensitive because everyone is moody and ultimately you have to be happy with yourself before someone else can make you happier and I believe we've got there and are now in our "honeymoon phase".

You also have to stand up for yourself if you like wearing make up, then you tell him that its obviously a part of your identity and if he likes you he'll have to put up with it because it shouldn't effect him. If kicking him in his junk was a part of your identity then he could be pissed but what you put on your body is your business, just as it is his issue if he wants to wear hoodies instead of normal jumpers. If your habits don't harm yourself (mentally, emotionally or physically) or anyone else they should respect you even if they don't like it.
