Then, maybe, my fingernails would grow as fast and as strong as my toenails. I cut them this morning and had to soak my feet for 20 minutes to soften the nails enough to cut. T.M.I.? never mindm we are all friends here.
If I do not cut them once a week they rapidly become talons worthy of any bird of prey. (not sure what that says about me)
Just a little thought provoking statement, all too true I am sorry to say. My fingernails do grow fast but they are thin and brittle and no matter what I put on them they just splinter, break and have to be kept quite short. I have tried, oh boy have I tried, every known nail strengthener/growth promoter on the market. To completely no avail. They are as short as can be without pain, and they can stay that way. I have thrown the towel in.
I thoroughly enjoyed my weekend and today had been just as laid back. The SO had 2 appointments, Asthma and so on, this afternoon so we had a lazy morning. Well one of us did, I walked the dogs and then after a coffee took Herbie out again, this time for a looooong walk, I also did my walk with Leslie, well this time it was a jog....and I kept up. Woo Hoo. go me, go me.
That was so childish that I will have to leave it in.
I have done a little more knitting and have sorted through my sewing patterns, I have decided on my pattern for the Bird cage fabric and hope to cut it out tomorrow. BUT, there is a list of shores to work through first. I will be good, I will be good.
My empty tea basket now holds the next few colours for the granny blanket, and is happily living on the very top of the dresser.
I have a slimming world crustless quiche in the mini oven, incidentally it is doing a grand job, and we will be having it with salad. I am just about to gather some fresh mint and basil to add to the leaves.
The oven just pinged so it is time for me to get that salad in a dish, I keep it all in the fridge but like to have a bowl full at room temperature to eat. Ice cold lettuce and peppers etc are no my idea of a tasty side dish.
TTFN Pam
My nails are exactly the same Pam.. I have given up too.
ReplyDeleteI have them as short as I can now, they do seem to grow quite fast but are so weak.
DeleteI love laid back weekends. Glad to see that you had one.
ReplyDeleteGod bless.
I stretched it out to cover Monday as well.
DeleteWe used to eat a cube of jelly to strengthen our nails, it didn't work! Mine are the same, peeling, breaking, they look dreadful and oh the pain when they break too short!
ReplyDeleteI remember doing that,all that sugar gave me spots for the first time. It is only the past few years that they have become so weak, I put it down to age.
DeleteI can't grow my finger nails either. I went to a posh "do" a few weeks back and my granddaughter insisted on giving me a manicure and stuck some false nails (now called jells I believe.. probably wrong) Crikey I couldn't wait to get them off. You can do no useful work with long nails!

I tried those, and had my nails Silked, but felt as though I had someone elses hands on.
