Good morning guys

Hope everyone else is well

bleugh, just ruined a perfectly good sweet and sour with one of those blue dragon shot things. Made sweet and sour, and decided it needed a bit more sweet and sour flavour / sauce. Added some of one of those shots, bleugh bleugh bleugh - WHO uses star anise in sweet and sour (well perhaps someone does) but then all I could taste was aniseed. Thankfully I'd already had tonight's portion but bang goes leftovers for tomorrow and the freezer.

Sweet and sour sounds horrible with star anise. What a shame about the leftovers.
CW - hope you feel better really soon.
Hope the leaks are soon sorted.
Had a lovely evening out last night at a family party. Took mum and an elderly aunt home, taking both into their house to make sure they were ok. Went upstairs to put mum's electric blanket on as she was cold then we left for home. What I didn't realise was that mum no longer sleeps on the side of the bed she has always done and now sleeps on "dad's side". I had plugged the blanket in on "her side". She didn't realise and as she is blind she fell over the cable when she went to bed, hitting her head on the radiator. Didn't know anything about it until tonight, although she seems ok but a little shaken. I just feel so guilty that I hadn't realised she slept on the other side and I feel it is my fault she fell.

Aesop

awww snowdrop. It's not your fault. Why would you think your Mum had stopped sleeping on her usual side of the bed? Unless she said something specifically to you there is no reason you would have known.

try not to feel guilty about it. It is obvious she is not blaming you otherwise might have called or said something a lot earlier.

SND - A is right, there is no way you could have known she'd moved sides of the bed, unfortunately accidents happen. I wonder whether she moved sides to feel close to your dad? My mum did that when mine passed away.

That does remind me, must get new blanket this winter - OH likes one, I don't but the one we have doesn't have a timer and OH had a tendency to fall asleep with it on full whack, cue one sweaty OH and one hot moi. Looking at one which also has foot and body zones so you can heat them differently. If it could also do the housework that would be fab :rotfl:

Snd sorry to hear about your mums fall, you mustn't blame yourself accidents happen and you wernt to know.

nice day here, hoping to go soft play with DS' friend. Just waiting for his mum to wake up and will call her.

Had a nice afternoon in the library yesterday, something different spent with the other kids from school.

FT sorry I never replied. I got chrome to install on the tablet side of win8, but when you click on it, it opens in desktop automatically.

How's the studying going? I have to start studying to quickly gain a qualification for work, in the next 2 months, this is going to be fun! lol
