No haggis Mardatha? With eggs by the sounds of it
Hope your mouth kmproves soon (before RV runs out of recipes).
Good luck Nurse Maggie, everything's crossed for you.
Here at Chez Softie, we're lurching from one problem to another. Hubby got a kidney infection and went from "healthy" to "OMGWTFBBQ" in less than a day, which is how his body tends to be. His fever seems to have broken in the night though, so fingers crossed the antibiotics are working. Meanwhile the cold tap in the shower has died, which in the middle of summer here is not a small problem. It doesn't rain.... er... or pour:p

Hubby is on the mend, albeit slowly and stressfully. As for the shower, I phoned a friend and got an education on plumbing as well as a fixed tap for the price of a six pack. Onwards and upwards.Softstuff- Officially better than 0070

Going to look for a big cushion for DD1's Christmas today. She's asked for one "with a cosy cover" but not faux fur, so I'm not sure if I'll find anything suitable. Fingers x'd there's a fleecy one at a rock-bottom price somewhere!0 -
Fingers crossed for Nursemaggie today.Small victories - sometimes they are all you can hope for but sometimes they are all you need - be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle0

No Viewing today it was cancelled at the last minute. There are men doing repairs but they must have know that last week. We only have 5 weeks left to find somewhere or we go back to the back of the queue. We are not allowed to bid for any others while we are being considered for this. It does not seem fair as it is 7 weeks ago tomorrow since I bid on this one.0
