:mad:I have a batch of mouth-ulcers starting. Just my flamin' luck, when I'm going for my plate-fitting tomorrow. Curse this bl00dy lupus.... and curse the damned rheumy for d!cking around with my meds.
Piggers if that was me, I'd be making the "friend" camp out on the front lawn....without a tent. What a nerve!
Just getting Mr LW to haul the lasagne dish out of the cupboard ready for tomorrow. He gets it out, as it's heavy and awkward for me to reach.:A I'll have to construct the lasagne before I go to the Fang Farrier, and leave him instructions for what time to put the convection oven on, and how long to put it in for, as I probably won't be back in time to do that, but hopefully will be back before it's finished cooking, iyswim.:oIf your dog thinks you're the best, don't seek a second opinion.;)0 -
