fuddle Glad you're safe home! May you have many happy holidays and weekends in your caravan .xx

Lyn For some reason this site simply doesn't like letters with accents over them- it always just reproduces them as an exclamation mark. Also, it doesn't mind !!!!!!!" but won't put up with B a n a n a. Perhaps it's something about spelling it with a capital letter.

Edit: oh, now that's just silly. It doesn't like b a n a n a either now.

I have never met such a cantankerous site. I still can't understand why it has suddenly started joining th together and separating other letters from their parent word., as in piff le.

Millie decided this morning that 4 o'clock was a good time to start the day and I was so sleep befuddled that I'd given her breakfast before I realised that it was still the middle of the night. She has now gone back to bed and will no doubt be thinking smugly that I will have forgotten all about it when the real breakfast time comes around and she will be in for another one. WRONG!

karcher, wasn't that Dave Allen's signing off phrase? I loved that man. He was naughty but so very funny.

Well Fencers, another week lies before us, with all its possibilities and challenges. I must dig out last week's to-do list and change the date on it.

THOUGHT FOR TODAY

Yield to temptation. It may not pass this way again.

Morning all. What terrible night. I am EXTREMELY sensitive to monosodium glutamate but don't always know when it is in things. There must have been an awful lot in last night's dinner. I made a tuna pasta bake that i haven't done for years and i think that it was in the condensed mushroom soup i used. So a night with little sleep, racing heart, earworms thumping through my head and a terrible thirst. This morning I have hangover symptoms and a sore neck.. i loathe throwing food away but the leftovers have got to go.

Sorry to hear about your night VJsmum, some things are just not worth keeping though.

I think that's my favourite of your thoughts of the day Monna

Good morning Fencers . Actually the rain is hammering down here but I can hope . We need to go out later so maybe it will go away before then .
I hope things are feeling a bit better for you now Karcher . I adored Dave Allen , one who left us too soon.
VJsmum back in the 80s one of the herb and spice companies started selling MSG in their range . They marketed it as breakthrough product to enhance the flavour of steaks etc . It lasted a week or two here and then hit the bin . Atopic family and family and weird chemicals don't
mix . I hope the horrible feeling leaves asap and you feel better soon .
I was thinking of burtha too yesterday . I do everyday anyway . I had a wonderful day and hope someone made a fuss of her too .
Now monna why did I never think of dating last weeks list of things to do with this weeks date ? It will stop me feeling guilty about those things I never managed .to get round to . Glad you're charged up again and in full flow .
I'm going to have my porridge , hope the weather is brighter for you all .

Raining here too polly, not hammering though

I'm having an eye test today and not really looking forward to it as it's always really, really hot in the optician's i'm wearing a fine-knit jumper atm but might have to swap it for a t-shirt before I go!

I am UPSET. Sainsbugs was due to bring me foam shrimps and bananas plus tablet ice cream :j last night and the driver phoned to say he had a puncture and wouldn't make it round his deliveries as the tyre fitter hadn't appeared after 2 hours. I am UPSET.
I may need counselling.

mardatha

Why can I type bananas and monna can't? She must have been naughty and offended the forum

Foam shrimps and bananas. Love them, get big bags for less than a £1 in h0me b@rgains.
