I served it and never let on! Hey, I did the "look, smell, taste, common sense" tests No one was rushed to hospital!!! (Bonus!)

If you are concerned, you can always cut off the outer edge pieces

Hi Queenie, now finished baking would you like tia maria gateaux or choc banana cake?
As for the chef - how come it wouldnt go off after 9 months or is that the point - it does go off? Never understood the way it works. Or maybe you just scrape off the mould and get on with it? Or is it because it is 'living' and feeding off itself that it doesn't go off? anybody out there know what i am trying to get at here or am i talking dribble?

odds-n-sods

chocolate, either tramadol works well for you or it doesn't. It doesn't work for me. Throwing up, or trying to every 5 minutes for 6 hours means it doesn't work. Esp if I am high as a kite, and that also means you shouldn't be on it.

It's an either/or drug, according to my nurses - they had hoped I had tried it before so I could tell them if it worked for me or not, and were quite prepared to give me the alternative I got rather than keep me on it just to see.

Queenie, I wont' take more than I am allowed, I've been them on + off for months now anyway.

Mostly I'm bored cause I feel like cooking today, and I can't.

Darn it, I'm torn now between tia maria gateux and the choc nana cake!!! Couldn't I just sample ... BOTH!??? :rotfl:
Ah, my "chef" comment was tongue in cheek - meaning, pregnancy (to attain a potential "chef") takes 9mths. Sorry! Clearly I was on another planet at the time (oooh, nothing new there then! :rotfl: ):o

((Odds)) - hoping you find some comfort/solice!

tattycath - ((hugs)) as far as the dk's and dh are concerned, your birthday began and ended with the presents in bed this morning It takes time (years!) but, eventually, they may get the message. In the meantime, console yourself that you have a family that is au naturel and doesn't feel the need to put on airs and graces (small comfort, but for those who have endured those times, they will fully appreciate what I mean ) Also, do consider what *you* mean by "a nice family day". Are you, just maybe, expecting an *ideal* rather than reality? We, as a society, but particularly females, are spoonfed an ideal of "normal" that sometimes the edges get a bit ... blurred? To me, my lads having an adolescent tiff, *is* the "norm"; do I want them any different? No! To be different would be .. well, unmentionable (just read the news for an alternative!).

Your day may not have ended as you hoped it may - but, hey, what a great start! They love you; they feel free and unimcumbered enough to be "themselves"; it may not match your ideal, but it does speak volumes about the way you are bringing your children up: non inhibited; free spirited; caring enough to give "Mum" a special morning; and the freedom to be who they are! And that is: Children!

Give it a few years ... they may just realise where you are coming from; but in the meantime ... bless them, each and every one! Birthday or no birthday, they are your loved one's ((hugs))

PS: from years of experience, sometimes, the only way to get the day *we* would like it to be ... is to put it in WRITING/make it CLEAR (after all, no one is a mind reader, no matter how much we think they ought to be ! That way there are no misunderstandings [/quote]
Hi Queenie. Thank you so much for your post. Dya know you talk alot of sense. My day is brightening up again already!!!:A
Thanks again. OH gone for a kip, Eldest DD now making chocolate crackles? and others watching tv. So peace is restored fore the moment!!!
Been 'helping' DD with recipe for her cooking and misread how many cornflakes she needed. It said 2 oz but we were doubling it to 4 and I was on here (just for a change!!:D ) and told her 24 oz. When I finally looked up she said mum we need another 5 oz and I saw the bowl and knew I must have told her wrong-there were loads!!!:rotfl: We have now sorted it. She said: 'and I hope you're gonna tell 'em how you can't read mum'!!! So now I have.

Odds ... Ewww no feeling sick and being in pain is not a good combination. I would give them a call and see if they can offer you an alternative
Not sure if you are able to take them but ibuprophen can be taken alongside paracetemol for added pain relief.. You probably know that but just incase

*Pooky waves to Queenie*

Yoohooooo - Nice to see you back :j

Afternoooooon all (or evening all - depending on your point of view)

Had an eventful day today although I'm feeling a bit snotty again now - poor me!

DH and I turned the bedroom around today - when we moved the bed got plonked where we thought was best but we're just not sleeping right - have moved it all around now so hope it helps. Took down the disgusting vertical blinds that were here and have washed them and rehung and they now look lovely and fresh....cleaned the window and had a good hoover round - all looks sparkly lovely.

Made 6 portions of pasta salad for DH and DD1 for lunch boxes and a batch of rolls for DD2 and I for the week, toad in the hole is now cooking with left over cocktail sausages from Christmas with veggies that were blanched and frozen - so a free dinner! Fruit salad for pud from the "just on the turn fruit" from the bowl this morning. Soup bubbling away in the SC made from potato peelings, 2 leeks, 4 carrots and half a head of celery - will be lovely for my lunches this week.

Recycling is done and DH went off to the tip this morning so ready to tackle the month!

Hugs to all the poorlies, and :j to all those who over did it at last nights party (can't belive I missed that).
