Thanks for asking about today's luncheon. Despite a rather shaky start it all went swimmingly. I sent DF out to get a joint and a few veg and bits and pieces and made roast beef with roast taters and roast parsnips and roast carrots and roast onions with yorkshire puds and gravy and mixed boiled veg. YUM! It was very much appreciated by MIL2B (good bleedin' job!) who then had beef butties for tea and toffee cheesecake for dessert. Even though she's 3/4 blind we plonked her on a chair about 2ft from the tele and had her playing bowling on the Wii!! _party_ You should've seen her face when she got her first strike!! (It was a bit like this: :grinheart) It's the first time she's been able to do anything like that for at least 10 years, bless. I think she had a grand day. She even tried to give me some change towards the cost of the meal, the daft ha'peth! :rolleyes: DF brought the dogs over for the day too, so MIL2B didn't have to fret over letting them out etc (not at all so we could see them, you understand ) and he brought back my little Buddy boy after dropping MIL2B and Molly off. :j

I have, of course, completely overdone it now. I was pooped after last night, and did not get to bed early at all -must've been gone 4am. Didn't sleep especially well and woke up properly about 11.30ish (early for me, esp with such a late night). I woke DF up and shoved him on his way to Asda for the bits (how he came back having spent £35 I'm not quite sure?? ) whilst I got ready and prepped some veg etc. I may've ventured into the spare room and may've started making the drawers for the wardrobe whilst I was waiting for him to come back and then again when he went for his mum :whistle: I then may've served all food and drinks and may've participated in Wii action... :shhh: I know there's no "may've" about how knackered I am now though!! :rolleyes: Still it meant a lot to DF and I'm sure it did to MIL2B so I can stand a few days downtime, even if I did struggle to make it up the stairs to bed!

I'm supposed to be up for church tomorrow...we'll see how that goes. Could do with going so we can have a chat with the bloke that's doing our music too, face to face like. I'm not making myself any promises I mightn't be able to keep though. DF is at work from 5pm tomorrow so wondering how much wardrobe building he can get done in the arvo...

Unity gutted about the ID theft. How annoying. Things like that are just a step beyond sometimes so I hope you're feeling good after the trip away and have enough spoons to tackle it.

Raeh if the neighbour "friend" isn't the best most spoon-friendly person to be around then...either try educating her (if she's just ignorant) or show her the door (if she's just arrogant)..? The little energy we have is not worth wasting on people who hinder.

Cwta take it easy and rest up. And I mean properly. Don't go flitting around for your Dad if you can't do it. Can't a neighbour or friend or his wife do some of it? What about utilising your house fairy some more? You need to rest up so that you a) get better and b) are ready for your Northern Lights trip! (I'm well excited for you, can you tell?? I want piccies!!)

Pcl glad your toothache's settling down. I might have to gang up on you with Raeh and suggest that you get it sorted properly now, once and for all, than leave it to become a potentially even bigger problem later...:cool:

Suep glad you had a good day today and hope you have a grand day tomorrow as ds1's. You made me laugh about the burger stall, man after my own heart there! :rotfl:

Hope Kass is ok, don't think she's been in for a day or two? Thoughts to Sharon and hope S/e is behaving herself with that garden!

Thanks Di3004 Thoughts to your mate, it can be grim at times, but if she ever wants pop in here we're a friendly bunch and this thread has made a massive difference to most if not all of us

That is so lovely of you, thank you I will tell her all about this great helpful thread tomorrow, much appreciated indeed.:A

Hi di, do point your friend in this direction and feel free to stay here yourself too if you have the time and inclination. these guys are a wealth of informatioon and support.

sue and raeh i would like the password too, and will try and remember to pm you in the morning. that goes for anyone who has passwords or links to photos to share, i am incredibly nosey too.

i will also try and remember to pm the password to my other albums to anyone who wants it so shout for it.

bz sounds delicious and like a great time was had by all. maybe a rest day to recuperate tomorrow though and not more putting wardrobes together for you?

my dentist knows better than to leave to make my own appointments, i didnt even get away without having the next one made so he can check the ab's have worked and find out what i want to do. so i have till next monday to decide. the other option is let him pull the tooth all together, but i dont think that would be any easier than the root crown thing for me to sit through. he wasnt keen on leaving it either since we have already tried that but i am such a chicken, except i dont want this toothache again so. if only it could be sorted under anaesthesia...

happy mothers day to those of you who are mothers, have a good day everyone who is celebrating having or being mothers tomorrow and hope everyone has a decent night tonight.

Morning peeps
Why do they have Mothers Day on a Sunday? I hate Sundays anyway and I miss my Mum. Pahhh - will have to keep self occupied today.

Bit of bad news - Dad is too poorly to go on Northern Lights trip. I'm still gonna go and have said to him that we'll go together some other time, but I suspect that he's getting to that age (83) where he just wants to be at home. I've booked rooms at a Travellodge local to the airport for the return as we don't get back until about 2am, so I may try to swap his room for a room for me the next night and go down to IKEA at Bristol. Or will that be far too dangerous??

raeh loved your piccies. Your short hair look fabbie - how do you get it so shiny??

suep, I would love password to yours too perlease?

Di, welcome to you and your friend - get her to pop in, and you both can grab a drink and a seat and chat.

pcl, I don't know if it would be suitable for you, but a lot of dentists offer "twilight sleep"; a mild form of sedation. It does sound like you have a sympathetic dentist which is half the battle won.
My personal opinion is that I would do anything to hand onto a tooth rather than have it taken out. But then I've had my traumas with dentists in the past and I have strong opinions on the subject.

bz, sounds like you did all bar setting out the red carpet for MIL2B - glad she was appreciative. You've got a year to recover til the next one *g*. Love the fact that you got her playing the Wii!

I need to catch up on a plethora (big words! eh? eh?!) of emails and suchlike. Coffee first I think though.

raeh

very quick post [yeah..yeah i know thats never the case with me :rolleyes: ]

i will pm the link and password to people later and just wanted to catch up before stating lunch. i got lovely home made cards from the kids and we are having roast beef too bz your sounded gorgeous , rest up today to recover. I made sure id done all the ironing yesterday and tidying so i could enjoy today but knackered myself so much i was up in pain half the blinkin night so i may not appreciate today quite so much im going to nip out to home bargains and treat myself to some thorntons mishapes to make up for it as we know the healing properties of chocolate

Di everyone on here is wonderfully supportive whether you are here for a whinge or a laugh that day

gentle hugs to everyone for a good day xxx

raeh

auntie axe the shiny hair must have been the light catching it im sure its not usually very shiny lol
i hope today isnt too sad for you i did sit this morning and feel rather sad for everyone missing their mums when i heard about jade goody and my heart goes out to her little boys whatever anyone thinks about her those little boys wont be having a good day bless them

di3004

What a lovely thread this is, full of wonderful caring people.:A :A .
And with what you are going through as well, "bless".

I normally try to help on the reclaiming side of things, but it makes a nice change to be here, thank you so much.

I will let my mate know later when I catch her, thank you.;) XXXX

Good afternoon, folks.

Auntie I wasn't boasting about my chocolate stash, just offering you some (even if it was cyberlerly). Having said that, 99% cocoa chocolate doesn't really taste like chocolate. I tasted the 90% last night, but think I shall stick to 85% in future.

I was going to say other stuff, but the old grey matter seems to have congealed again. It may be sunny out there, but it's not very warm.

purplecatlover

its cold here, i made the mistake of going outside this morning thinking it was warm enough. now its not even sunny anymore, think its going to pour.

i think im gonna be brave and ask dentist about sedation, truthfully i would rather keep the tooth as long as possible, i cant stand the thought of gap or denture.....yet.
