Busy watching 'Super Scrimpers' on C4.

Loads of tips on making your own Irish Cream and other alcoholic drinks.

Hello Again Susan, Boult & beanie:santa2:

Looks like santa has come early for you Susan with delivering the new halogen oven.. Did he come down ur chimney?:rotfl::snow_laug

Glad Linda recieved the sympathy card from us all.
She is such a nice friend to know & your very lucky to have her.. Do tell her she has lovely eyes when you call in tomorrow for your free cuppa.

Recipe for Blackberry Liqure

2Lb Blackberries
1Lb sugar
1Pint water
1/2 bottle cheap vodka.

Heat blackberries in microwave until they start to release their juice, then add sugar and mash with potato masher.
Bring to the boil in the microwave, then leave to cool.
Once nearly cold, add the water to prevent it setting, then add 1.2 bottle of vodka.
Sieve, then bottle.

Works-out at about £2.50 a bottle.

Forgot to add, the longer you leave it, the stronger it gets.

That sounds very very nice - but could I leave it long enough to get stronger

Alan lasted from 7 till 9.30 watching the tv but gave up, had meds and went to bed then - he was going to try to have a shower and shave, but once he'd had his meds, no chance - he wouldn't have been able to stand up to shower :rotfl: :rotfl:

So a shower, shave and head shave is on the cards for tomorrow - I'm sure it will make him feel better, though the pain has started to ease somewhat :j :j

patman99

Glad to read the pain is easing. A bath or shower may well help him as well.

And a Happy Thursday to you too Beanie

Morning all - Alan had a much better night, sleeping right through and, when he got up for the loo about 7 am, he was delighted that the deep pain had gone leaving just the ache He got to sleep again and when he woke up at 10 am - the deep pain was back I pointed out that this was because he hadn't needed meds during the night so had been over 12 hours without them, so I made his breakfast, gave him his morning meds and am just about to give him some morph to settle him again. At least this is a good sign that he is almost through the worst and can see light at the end of the tunnel, as I was beginning to think the worst

Evening Susan & All,

Hope Alan is feeling better today? Any news from the dr's?
