Davina's diary

[davina61]

Need to get a bottle of welding gas tomorrow so messaged my daughter to see if I can call in on the way back as will be passing. Thinking about wearing my wig tomorrow when I go into town, got to do it some time and this is the week (on hols) that I start RLE . Brace your self world Davina's about. Its hot rod club night , what the hell full on Davina so the lads (and pub!) are ready for me at Christmas meal. Thing is I will go for a meal in the pub before any of them get there and its normally full of diners of all ages, still have been adding more accessory's every time I go only make up and hair left . Skinny jeans and a long top I think , see what I can find shopping

You're doing so great.
I was never good at welding and I quit drinking in 2003.  These days I'd probably get the bottle of welding gas and red wine mixed up all wrong.

RLE is go!!  Best of luck with everything hon. X

Saw my daughter and grandson this morning, he is a bonny lad. Walking on his own and good at throwing, we had fun with some soft blocks and a ball. Daughter shut me down when I mentioned what's going on, still not understanding. On a better note went to town full on and no problems , OK some looks but that was it. Got some earrings in Clare's and it was buy 3 and get 3 more (the cheapest) for free so got loads, ladies on till were nice . My mum came with me as wanted second opinion on wig , sorted a very short one that's very light but they didn't have it in the colour I wanted so it will be sent in the post . Very helpful and as they do lingerie ask about bras in odd sizes, they do a 40 C and pocketed ones for mastectomy  breastforms . Got a wig care kit as well, off to the pub now

Sounds like a pretty good day so far Davina. Glad you were able to play with your grandson and hope you will eventually get your daughter to understand. Don't give up girl.

Fingers crossed she will, Had a melt down moment before going out yesterday (wasn't going to say but) nearly cried had to gave my mum a hug to stop me after a wobble about never having my own head of hair. Any way on a better note went to pub, one of the lads was there already and apart from a raised eyebrow was OK, then big Den came in and said I wondered who the lady was sat at our table. Made my day !!!!!!! Nice one Den . By the end of the night they were all fine with me , well I did say I wanted to give you all warning and not turn up at our Christmas meal as "first contact" . Now I find that not wearing a wig feels odd, TBH forget its on now, hope fully the new one will turn up tomorrow

[davina61]

New work wig turned up today, will post pic when I have makeup on. Totally different look, think secretary/librarian with my reading glasses on (need proper glasses anyway) . Had to cut my hair that's been growing since last Dec (well at the back ,non on top) to make the wig fit and it stuck out the sides as well. Shopping tomorrow so new hair clippers on the list. Set up payment plan for HRT tonight so that will be happening soon.

Davina,

  Sorry about your short melt down moment yesterday and glad about the new hair showing up. I'm sure you will look good in it. Looking forward to seeing the picture.

My mum and Aunty said it looked a lot better than the mid length one but that does need a trim, best bit it stays put without tape . Bummer now I have lost my avatar any one help please

Avatar... I never saw the movie, but in the menu / Profile / Modify Profile / Upload an avatar / Choose file
I don't know the exact dimensions but 200 pixels or less should work.  My current avatar is a PNG file, 150 pixels wide, 200 tall.

Larger sizes should be automatically downsized, but if that doesn't work try manually reducing photo dimensions before uploading. 

[Dena]

The system normally displays a 200x200 pixel image however the system will downsize from a larger image like 400x400 or 800x800. The newer cameras are creating images larger that the site will downsize so you need to do it with other software. If you don't have software to do it, give me the raw image or a link to it and I will downsize it for you as I have plenty of image processing software.

Hey, we Librarians are hot stuff, and don't you forget it!   

If you have Windows on your computer, you can use the Paint program to change an image's size, just be sure it's set to also change the canvas size, and to constrain the proportions (unless you want the image to stretch or squish weirdly).

Hi Davina,

  The ticker site should provide you a line of code to copy and paste into your forum profile signature area.

[davina61]

cheers Laurie that's what I thought will give it a go and try resizing photo as well but self taught on here , need lessons.  Deed poll came back, not filled out correctly. Well did think it was wrong but at least they have said what needs doing. Solicitor didn't know what he was doing ,did say he had not seen one before.Divorce paper work came today as well, only bit that bothers me is the box ticked for financial support . Hope she just means  the solicitors bill as not got any spare ££££s. had my wig on all day , wore a hat to keep sparks and dirt off.

Hi Davina,

  If you need help with the photo you can send the one you want up to Dena or me and we can get it there for you. The ticker is a bit trickier for me to help with. I used Tickerfactory for mine  getting to it by the ticker link at top of page. If it is not knowing where it goes then we can help you with that too.

[davina61]

Yes I copied and pasted it but its still not showing, God I hate computers some times, or more my lack of knowledge. Sent pic to Dena , she asked first.
