If you're making a tarka dahl, make sure there's asafoetida in the recipe, never managed to get one tasting right, until I tried using that. It's one of hubbies favorites.

And, although it sounds like a really obscure spice, it can be obtained in many major supermarkets, especially the one with the Clubcard if you get my drift... I've seen an asafoetida and turmeric mix as well, in a jolly yellow pot. 2 for the price of 1.

dear Hypno, I know your situations will improve/get easier although it's probably difficult to believe that at the moment. Baby steps, eat the elephant one bite at a time, you know the drill! Is this the time to decide not to decide?? Go with the flow??

This was given to me by a friend when I was going through a very trying time. You don't have to be religious for it to be of comfort. Thoughts are with you and hope you are okay x

dodgy hugs and all that and when you get back we will have kept your diary nice and tidy :whistle: and there will be some yummy recipes.

Take care, x

All the best, Hypno, the time and space you have this week with the children being away means you can let the emotions pour out and try to make sense of things without feeling the need to show a brave face. Cry, scream, shout, whatever, it is all good for the soul and you know all of us on here are sending our best wishes your way. Come back when you feel ready, we'll keep bumping the diary for you.

Hope your yoga helps you today if you have time to do it Hypno.

Hi Hypno,

Here I am again, slinking in out of lurking mode. I just wanted to share my thoughts with you and tell you my story. I am a m.i.l, and when my son and d.i.l seperated, I was devastated. I didn't know anything about it until my son had moved out....... I was so very angry with him,..I felt responsible in a way for not realizing that they were having problems, but they knew that I would worry so decided not to tell me unil after the event. I really didn't know what to say to either of them. My son left and I couldn't get my head around it, he wasn't that kind of person, but only after about 2 years, I was told why he did it, and I understood.............I understood, but still didn't like it,....he had children, my grandchildren and in my eyes they needed 2 parents........I blamed them both, silently........I tried to keep on the fence......didn't want to upset either of them in case it caused problems with us being able to have/see the children..........I felt a sense of loyalty to my son, and also felt sorry for d.i.l, after all without her, I wouldn't have my grandchildren, whom we adore.

Now, five years later all seems to have settled down, they are divorced, both have new partners, and occasionally, a disagreement will blow up between them. We get to see our grandchildren as much as before, and take them on holiday.....our d.i.l could have been difficult with us, but we still buy birthday and christmas presents, and although our relationship has changed, we still care for her, and I believe she cares for us, as I said before, she is the mother of our grandchildren and for that I will be eternally grateful to her.

I hope that you and your m.i.l can still have an amicable relationship, perhaps not straight away, but eventually.
