    I feel for you re the tinnitus. I've had it pretty much constantly since 1997 (norecollection of it before then and that was when I went to see the GP with that and dizziness. Some times worse than others, but thankfully I can ignore it in the main.

    If the jellybean trail has gone, it wasn't me :smile:

    Loving your ramblings and new to me vocab...

    Hope you have recovered from the migraine.

    Best of luck with YD and future options. I feel lucky currently as DD is surpassing my expectations

    Hope you've worked past any potential ear illness and that it didn't mar your weekend.

    Absolutely no-one's meals look like the bisto adverts or indeed any other adverts.  Well apart from the before ones when they are advertising some sort of cleaning materials & those also feel like cleaned up versions.  I remember one "interesting" occasion when following the knock on the door I hissed at my then H do not let anyone come in the kitchen.  I then put the bin behind the door.  Then I accidentally spilt a some wine into my glass.

    Yes adverts are mini-movies at the end of the day and largely just as fake
