Yes thanks Ivyleaf I have a brand new all singing all dancing CPAP machine that I hope will eliminate some symptoms that I have been blaming on the cancer. Maybe I am going to feel really well and not just 60%.

I had a lovely driver this morning. She came at 7.30am and got me their an hour late. She had a lot of people to take to a rehabilitation centre. I was bursting when I got there had 4 cups of coffee while waiting to go.

I hope the cake comes out OK I have not baked it since I retired. It is not a heavy cake like a Christmas cake but being fatless as well it is really useful for diabetics.

It certainly was cold this morning fuddle. I think Navy is better for work it goes with everything and it will not look grubby after a couple of days. The problem with the yellow is online the colours so often do not look like they really are. It could be more green than yellow. You've been on the knitters thread some colours do not look like people have described them. I have not bought anything online yet.

Welcome Mrs D White....
Monnagran....They look very cute indeed , I guess they are not as small as they look...:)
Lyn....Ive also got a cold , which is unusual for me , as I get everything else but hardly ever get a cold, but its not what I call a cold , like when your nose dont stop running and you have a constant headache.....Bacon stew sounds lovely , hope it cooked nicely in your new kitchen gadget ...
Nursemaggie....Hope you got on ok at the clinic today...
This is the first cool day weve had so far this winter , ive lit my open fire for the first time this winter and its so comforting and warm , dog bo is flat out on the hearth , he loves the open fire....My foot is healing nicely , obviously still painful as expected but im getting there .....I went to see OH this morning he is doing very well , I took him and Roger 18 cans of beer , they share one each evening , nice for both of them to have a good friendship .....Right im off to get myself good old beans on toast for my tea...sheila

There. I said I'd get better. That's it folks, I won't waste your time any more. Thanks for letting me practise.

I'll go away now and do something sensible.

Love those stockings MONNA you are a clever and talented lady!

SHEILA hope your cold departs PDQ, I currently feel like I've been run over by a tank and my nose resembles niagara falls, nuff said eh?

Very well pleased with the new slow cooker, it did lovely fluffy dumplings in 20 minutes on top of the stew and the chunks of veg are perfectly cooked which is so different to the old one. Think I'm going to try sweet and sour pork tomorrow as I've got some YS pork steaks in the freezer. I feel it's going to get lots of use this winter and save me lots of pennies in electricity. Can only be good!

NURSEMAGGIE glad you've got a new CPAP machine, hope it makes an enormous difference to how well you feel, you've been through enough of late and it's about time something good happened for you isn't it love? Lyn xxx.
