Bad day today, poor DD (only 22) found a lump and was referred to breast clinic, went for scan and they did an immediate biopsy......I am obviously terrified and trying not to show it.

Any positive thoughts and prayers you can spare will be gratefully received while my girl waits for the result

£20 spent on taxis and buses to and from hospital.

Love and prayers for you, your dd and family xxxx

Best wishes for fozzie and family, hope it's something innocent.

NSD here not even been out, unless you count the garden... Will need to purchase milk tomorrow. And sweeties apparently, as DS tells me. He's having some preschool jabs tomorrow so I guess he can have a treat...

got back to work today! The only thing I did manage yesterday was a grocery shop so just updated signature to reflect it.

Fozzie - still thinking of you and DD:)
Flo - your roast chicken dinner looks awesome!

Well, hoping for another NSD here today. I've just taken out 2 chicken drumsticks and 2 chorizo sausages and will magic them up into jambalaya for tea. Still got to think of a decent cake I can make for a relative's birthday this weekend... we'll see what my cookbooks yield.

Got enough stuff in to last over the weekend now. Going to do a main meat shop on Monday. Have a good day, everyone.

HI all
Hugs for you and your DD Fozzie x
Just updated signature with last weeks purchases.
Day off today so will try and do some batch cooking (weather is awful outside so can't ditter in garden without full winter garb on).
We have family coming round tomorrow for DGS's 11th birthday party so will need to go out later and get some supplies (DH tells me he definately needs some more wine:rotfl:), so will post todays purchases later.
Pretty happy with budget so far, freezer is looking a bit bare but thats probably a good thing as I had forgotten about a few things:o that were lurking.
Well done everyone :T:T

Aww thanks

Actually, I haven't been able to browse much.
On Wednesday I went to A&E as I couldn't use my eye at all. I was in agony from 9 in the morning. I could only use my eye if I pulled the lid away.
OH took me A&E in the evening as I had been lying down all day trying to rest the eye and avoid using it.
I was told I had a corneal ulcer that was also infected.
My appointment at the eye clinic yesterday revealed that the damage isn't just to the cornea as both eyes are in a very poor state due to an unrecognised dry eye condition going untreated for so long.

So now I look like a pirate with my eyepatch:rotfl:
I should have taken the kids on a leather crafting day today but daren't drive:eek:
There was a big party arranged tonight for the young uns but I've decided to go ahead as they love it do much.

I am at this moment standing in the kitchen wondering how I will survive an onion chopping session for the chilli:eek:

Thanks for noticing :A

Sounds like a great evening!

As well as getting free dinner, last night, my mum gave me a massive bag of salad from their garden not planning on buying any more food until Sunday so it's casserole from the freezer tonight but NO idea what we're going to eat tomorrow :rotfl:

Making a loaf of bread as I'm off work today.
