    :hello: Everyone,

    I had a nice time at Mums and had a nice dinner.relaxed and read my newspaper.Got photos done with my brother and his wife in their wedding gear they had on when in Bermuda so we could see them and what they looked like on and they looked fantastic.

    Have a nice afternoon and evening!

    love and light,

    MMMM! Roast Duck, love it!! We're havin chilli and nacho's again :rotfl: I am addicted to it.

    What is baked alaska?

    Haven't spoke much at all cos I have just been havin the worst few days, stressful, emotional. We're all sorted now and I am actually happier than I have been in a long time. The bad ride this week made me appreciate this good feeling I have now :D

    Physically having a tough time. Trying to come off my painkillers and halve my anti depressants. I didn't realise it would be as hard as this!! The side effects are horrendous, so tapering at the moment, hoping to be off by the end of the month, fingers crossed. Funnily enough, I am in more pain but I feel so much better in myself. I think the meds were just creating a different problem.
    I was on tramadol and for over a year, highest dose, along with co-codamols, they are both opiates so really hard to come off. I am confident tho. I'll get there, been so long since I felt this alert!! xx

    Baked Alaska is a Meringue that is swirled over ice-cream. Very yummy!!!:j:j:j

    You have been having a rough time.:( I'm sure you'll get through this. You certainly sound strong enough.

    I love cooking, but prefer to do if for other people. I'm too lazy if I'm just cooking for myself.:o:o

    Believing in yourself is the first step to becoming strong. Furthermore, you want to tackle the problem. That's the second step.

    Keep the faith.:cool::cool::cool::cool:

    Anyway, compers, I'm off for a soak. Enjoy the rest of your day. :wave:

    hi everyone, not been in the inn for a while but know there are a few Lush fans in here, so thought I would let you know about Lush's current offer.

    not sure if this is every store but I went into my local store and spent £25 and got a goody bag of products worth £35.

    think if you spent £15 your got £25 goody bag and £35 spent got you a goody bag worth £45.
    :wave:
