Thanks Joan & Viv I'm sure I'll have a great time. I'm also going to meet a couple of old friends that I haven't seen for thirty years. Seems like forever since we met at Kew, Viv. Do I remember right Joan, are you going to be at the Dorset meet? Vivienne xx |

Hi Joan This may be out of left field but, i was having a problem and was told that mine needed feeding(i can hear you laughing) So i bought Astor Nail cream, and it is working, but not sure if you can buy Astor over there, but you do need something that will put back moisture back. Hope this is of some help Ann :-) |

Oooh, Susan, Thankyou for that tip - my nails are as hard as iron, and bend before they break. I have an awful job to cut them and as they grow very fast, I need to cut my toenails twice a week at least. Off to soak my nails in vinegar! OC |

Joan, that is spooky, as I sit here putting Sally Hanson on my nails ready for tomorrows meet------------------- I couldn't grow any nails whilst I was working with the linen but I've decided to try & keep them now. I've had this bottle in my drawer for ages & not really used it till this week. So far, So good. Vivienne xx |

That's interesting Susan, cos I wondered if it could be a deficiency, & maybe I should be on calcium tablets too ? :0)) Joan |
