    OMG...yes I know that feeling when it starts when there are people around!!!


    My doctor at one point suggested that it might be linked also to bouts of sciatica that ive had in the past...but to be honest I havent found anything that really cures it when it flares up...but heat certainly seems to make it less intense.

    Funny you should mention sciatica I I have had a trapped sciatic nerve a few years ago and had to have 6 weeks physio acapuncture and the like so just maybe it could be linked to that:(dont really know which is more painful it's just sciatica lasts for weeks.

    Decided to order my a Tassimo through Costa. Swayed by the offer of £20 credit when you spend £25 on coffee pods.

    I'm such a pushover:o:)

    I love my tassimo, so do the kids. I never pay full price for the pods. They have £10 off and free delivery regularly so there's no need to pay a fortune for them.
    There is a £10 off code at the moment and free delivery if you want to stock up. Code here. Thanks OP

    Morning

    THE SHOEBOX
    A man and woman had been married for more than 60 years. They had shared everything. They had talked about everything. They had kept no secrets from each other except that the little old woman had a shoe box in the top of her closet that she had cautioned her husband never to open or ask her about.

    For all of these years, he had never thought about the box, but one day the little old woman got very sick and the doctor said she would not recover.

    In trying to sort out their affairs, the little old man took down the shoe box and took it to his wife's bedside. She agreed that it was time that he should know what was in the box. When he opened it, he found two crocheted dolls and a stack of money totalling $95,000.

    He asked her about the contents.
    'When we were to be married,' she said, ' my grandmother told me the secret of a happy marriage was to never argue. She told me that if I ever got angry with you, I should just keep quiet and crochet a doll.'

    The little old man was so moved; he had to fight back tears. Only two Precious dolls were in the box. She had only been angry with him two Times in all those years of living and loving. He almost burst with Happiness.

    'Honey,' he said, 'that explains the doll, but what about all of this money? Where did it come from?'

    'Oh,' she said, 'that's the money I made from selling the dolls.'

    A Prayer
    Dear Lord,
    I pray for Wisdom to understand my man;
    Love to forgive him;
    And Patience for his moods;
    Because Lord, if I pray for Strength,
    I'll beat him to death,
    Because I don't have the freaking time to crochet

    :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    Hiya bubbs - results good tumour hasn't grown but they said he won't get use of his leg back or rid of the seizures. Back in 3 months for next scan.
    And Dd 1 was in hospital this week having fainted and banged her head. She had concussion and now has enormous bruise on her forehead and black eye. It was amusing seeing them as adults comparing their symptoms and how big the bruises were from blood tests. They are twins.


    Good news that the tumour hasn't grown, sad to hear he won't get the use of his leg back but you never know, he could prove them wrong.
    Either way have a ((hug)) from me

    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    On the theme of RTCs in my local A (maybe in yours too?) ;-

    016633.jpg?v=3 30p

    016632.jpg?v=3 30p

    018060.jpg?v=2 5p

    017601.jpg?v=2 25p

    Did anyone else find these in their stores too please? I didn't find the bacon mentioned the other evening either :(. A rtcs seem a little random sometimes - was this little A changing their stock?

    Many thanks

    I noticed the kenco cafe crema is only £3 a pack on there which is cheap. I don't need coffee so I left it this time. I stocked up on hot chocolate for the kids, they go mad for it! And it's very grown up being able to make their own hot drinks.....I wouldn't trust any of them with a kettle!
