The Tougher Thread continues.....

Oh Ceridwen, I meant to add, if you are worried about losing your posts, (and who hasn't lost one or more to the ether :mad:) why not think about typing it out in a word document, then copy and pasting it here? That way you can proof read it before submitting, and if it does disappear into that cavern of missing posts you can simply copy it over again Wish I took my own advice sometimes :rotfl:

(((((Mrs VP)))), so sorry about your friend. Hope you are minding yourself - you need lots of TLC and I know you're good at taking care of others, just hope you can be good to yourself too. x

Taurusgb good luck from me too, I hope you manage to get some rest tonight. X

Oh dear, recipes for pea soup seem rather superficial in those of much more serious and distressing experiences - so sorry for you Greent and Jackie , to have to deal with such difficult circumstances. Mrs VP (((hugs))) and Taurus, I hope all is well tomorrow.

Frugalista - don't worry, I don't think Ceridwen has any sinister intentions! The impression I got was that she's just trying to understand the workings of the site - nothing to get concerned about.

I really wasn't trying to imply any "sinister intentions" and I'm certainly not worried!!:rotfl::rotfl:

I was simply asking why anyone would want to edit their posts at a later date without anyone knowing they had.

Perhaps my use of the word "surreptitiously" was ill advised - I was merely trying to be concise .

However, I will not labour the point (though it would have been nice if ceridwen had shown the courtesy to reply to my direct question ) and just continue to wonder to myself :cool:.

Sorry to hear about your friend, Mrs. VP.
Taurus, my very best wishes for tomorrow.
Warm ((hugs)) for all those who need them - and especially warm for all you Northerners, with bad weather forecast for next week.

Anyone else in love with Nigel Slater and his cooking (I know...I know...) but he's my fave of all the "celebrity" chefs.

Sorry to hear of your loss mrs Vp

Good wishes for tomorrow taurus

And I was thinking earlier that mardatha has her heating repaired this week so good luck with M.

My week looks very similar and nightmarish to last week but hey what doesnt kill us makes us stronger
And really looking forward to kids breaking up at the end of the week and I am planning an overnight trip to Drayton Manor - although saddo that I am I realised that Sainsbobs toy sale is rumoured to be on the day I planned to leave so am planning on shopping first!!

My mum has been diagnosed with very high cholesterol and is proving very difficult to help - she believed that it was all down to her having butter on her bread (maybe twice a week) and spread cheese on a cracker (again maybe twice a week) - am trying to point out it more likely to be down to the ready meals she eats daily (usually twice daily) - am loaning her my small SC this week and trying to find a very plain and basic cook book to go with it - the difficulty being my dad will only eat very basic stuff - no garlic, herbs etc.

Hugs to everyone who needs one!!

Is there anyone else who loves The Antiques Roadshow? It amazes me what treasures people find just lurking in their loft or tucked away in a draw without realising how much they're woth. Not sure if I'll find anything in my loft but maybe I should have a root anyway!
