HC - :mad: Bloomin codswallop indeed! :mad: So glad you're getting some answers though. Shame you couldn't get it today but hopefully tomorrow?

SpirallingDown - Sorry to hear your DS is still struggling and you're facing another cram packed day fitting everything in with him in tow Hope you get a little more sleep tonight and DS is feeling better in the morning so that even if you have to take him with you, he's not playing too much on your mind :Axxx And I'm so sorry for your friend How lovely of you to support her so well when she's the other side of the world! I also envy the strength people can draw from their faith. Like you, I'm not religious myself but there have been many times in my life where I have wished that I could have believed in a higher power having bigger and better plans for me, I think that would be wonderful to have such belief.

mharzuk+blondy - Put your coats back in the closet this second! The Elite need you!

tessietwo - Thank you for letting us know about the Aero trees:T ....and the Cadbury Wishes :mad::mad::eek: Why oh why aren't they 1p yet? (I don't even have any in my local but am just frustrated at the lack of common sense in pricing! )

JJ - Lovely to hear from you :A Thank you very much. I really want to have a few experiments with unusual ingredients including courgette. I also fancy trying chocolate cake with beetroot and also chocolate cake with mayonnaise :D I wanna try making brownies with TCO. Your cookathon sounds wonderful, well done you, now that's multi-tasking!! Hope you feel proud of what you've accomplished :T

FK - Stunning pics as always. You caught the sun rays beautifully in the 2nd pic and I really like the black and white effect too, works well with the water reflections :A Sorry about your hamster xx

Lutzi - Thank you sooooooooooo much for your PMs and so sorry I haven't replied yet, I will, I promise!! x

skinandblister - So pleased Chicken is hanging in there :Axxxx

So you do the lutzi shuffle... stuff (food, for me) you need out... booze and other stuff you need back...:D (Decanted into plastic bottles so you get more weight, with one glass bottle you can decant into included...). There are some great bargains to be had abroad, including whoopsies. :rotfl:

I've just remembered this recipe for Jumblejack that we used to make with the kids. It might be a bit basic, but you never know and they were yummy

Evening all.
Phew! just about managed to catch up.
Feeling a lot more human today ...so have been out for a meal tonight to see my inlaws who have just returned from a holiday in Russia.
First time I've been anywhere at all for over a week!!
Been prescribed some new migraine preventative meds (pizotifen) so hopefully these might work. If they don't I think there's only one more left to try....so fingers crossed.
Yesterday was the migraine from hell......the banging your head against a wall type, but today has been virtually headache free.....and what a difference....I might have even managed to smile (although my husband will swear it was just wind;))

My GP is still happy for me to drive as long as I continue to get warnings of the vertigo attacks and can pull over if necessary. I've never had to do this as I don't go anywhere if I'm having a bad day.
I'm still not feeling ready to face T's though, and although I'd love some socks I don't think it's worth risking making myself ill trying to find some. I always end up with a headache after shopping and driving and I don't want to risk another week like I've just had......

Thanks for all the kind words.....I'll try not to be a misery guts from now on. Just give me a good kick up the bum if I go quiet again

Don't know what happened to adam - i think he was the key guy that was keen on maintaining a jtd thread post-dtd if i remember rightly? Still see stebiz and angelsmadv posting now and again - used to love dtd:ing and i'd often end up visiting t's a dozen times in rotation on a daily basis with friends n family. it stopped me from going under at a tough time in my life so i'm forever grateful! There used to be a chap that posted on there with the funniest stories - would it have been sirfrequent?

I have a definite inkling - and I cannot remember what's made me think this, I read so much on here - that A McC has come back in a reincarnation. Simon, I remember you posting the night before you went to a job interview when things were hard for you - what's happened since and are you ok? Hope so.

Opened my last coffee pack this week, still got some cornettos in the freezer keeping the 3 legs of lamb and ribs company, have still got the strawberry comfort and 6 drawers full of toiletries. Enough soap powder for at least a couple of years and I hope I live as long as use all the dishwasher tabs.
My DH was away last week and forgot shower gel, he borrowed for the 5 days, he couldnt bring himself to buy any knowing how much is in the house : )

Tea, coffee, handwash, DW tabs for several years. As someone who doesn't live terribly close to loads of Ts I was pleased to find the steak which compared. Heaven bless Betty Crocker and Turner Road. :A
