I thought that we had already reached the 1000 messages. Maybe we haven't. Anyway...for when we do, here's the new extension. I'm making it warm and cosy and there are date slices to be enjoyed. Rory has claimed his corner of the sofa. wink

soop Sat 23-Nov-13 14:41:57

I made a mistake. We do not need to move in here just yet. So sorry...everyone back to the other place. I shall collect Rory and the date slices and sit back with a sigh...blush

How about this. Please use soops kitchen extension 2 for now until the original is full. The building inspectors have not yet visited to assess it is suitably posh for Rory. This will also save posts getting lost.

Nellie thanks for sorting things out. I managed, yet again, to get my knickers in a twist. As you say...back to the existing kitchen extension. Plenty of room for the time being. I shall hang a notice on this kitchen door...out of bounds until building inspector has inspected...after which, you lot are welcome. wink

Well, it is nice in here. I've brought some flowers as a 'welcome' present.

Where is that carrot cake soop promised. I've had a cr***y couple of days so I'm going to sit here and wallow in cupcake and brew.

Hope everyone with worries will come and have some 'me-time' too. Isn't that a horrid expression. grin

I wish to seriously complain!!! The following post was started with at least 6 spaces to go, but by the time I corrected my typos and tried to post I was told the thread was closed!
It's like getting to the supermarket on Christams Eve when you've forgotten the turkey and finding you are 5 minutes too late.sad
Anyway, I managed the cut and paste thingy - so you're getting it anyway.

Are you going to cut a ribbon Soop? (May husband and ay.....)

I have come in from the depressing and cold weather which seems to be reflected in too many posts/threads on GN. Where is our sense of humour? Feeling quietly calm however as have bought C presents for the little boys - both satisfyingly large boxes without breaking the bank - Playmobil for one and Duplo for t'other (hope they're not reading this, but at 3 1/2 and 2 unlikely even if VERY clever lttile boys!)
Life is a round of DH's appointments it seems - blood test Monday, stitches out today another INR test tomorrow but hey - it's cheaper than online shopping!grin
Baking is fattening so I think I might try knitting this afternoon - or I could do ironing?? No......that's miserable too!!
I hope Icy, Nellie and others with problems find peace of mind soon, that Lona is completely better and Soop catches up on her sleep. (Your"Pomeranian sounds like a wee furry hottie!!! smile )

gracesmum Wed 27-Nov-13 15:28:38

All Galen's fault!! angry[off in a huff] emoticon
Sorry to hear you've had cr**py days kitty - hope things are getting better?

kittylester Wed 27-Nov-13 15:33:59

You could do the ironing GM and I could bring mine round too! grin

Hope Dh is 'getting there' and in less pain.

My days, at the mo, are a series of irritations (mostly wilful misunderstandings) but they add up to a heap of wotsit! Never mind - I'll eat cake instead!

Lona Wed 27-Nov-13 15:44:08

Just back from the dentist, no work to do thank goodness, although still costs an arm and leg!

kitty and gracesmum Put your feet up and I will make you both a nice brew and cut some carrot cake for you. It's very yummy smile

What a comfort to have lovely friends in here to share our woes with sunshine

Nelliemoser Wed 27-Nov-13 15:56:18

I have brought along some bottles of bubbly and posh canapes to help us celebrate the opening. On Soop's behalf Welcome.

Gally Wed 27-Nov-13 16:03:43

I'm just back from the 'elderly' friend's dentist up in the wilds of Perthshire. We drove home through Gleneagle - it was glorious, but a bit parky. She offered me dinner at the Tomaukin Inn at Glendevon but as it was only 3.15 and I had had 2 boiled eggs for my lunch, I declined the kind offer grin( but I will have some bubbles and 'canaypes' if there is enough to go round - ta very much!) She was very grateful for the taxi service. Job done. Halo shining above head.

Gally I hate to be the one to remind you but you have a load of work to do. At your present pace you will not be out of the front door with more than the clothes that you are standing in. Please get a move on and then you can relax aftwards. Think how good you will feel if you have a couple of days to spare to plump up cushions.

Gally Wed 27-Nov-13 16:46:11

Spoil sport wink

soop Wed 27-Nov-13 16:54:14

Would you believe it! Not only have I come very late to the opening, but a very long message that I was about to post to you lot left the screen without as much as a by your leave. confused

Well, in a nutshell, thank you for your companionship. It means a lot to me.

Well done to all my Granspals who have had to deal with irritations and worse. kitty I hate to think of you in tears. I hope that whatever it is that's causing you distress, can be resolved. sunshine

Thanks for the bubbly and fancy wotsits, Nellie You're a star.

Charleygirl grin

In my absence [I'm meeting bags tomorrow] I want to make yourselves comfortable. Rory has a super new Owl cushion. He'll possibly share it with you if you're soppy with him. I shall photograph the cushion for you on Friday. It's super.

I'm sorry that the previous message went AWOL. I had wanted to say a few special words to those I feel need cheering. I'm being called away. Cats to feed. A shower to have. Food to prepare. Until Friday, take good care of each other. flowers

soop Wed 27-Nov-13 16:55:52

cupcake wine flowers sunshine smile and much more besides. xxx

ffinnochio Wed 27-Nov-13 17:06:00

Have a lovely day tomorrow soop . I feel sure you'll both have a good giggle or two. smile

AlieOxon Wed 27-Nov-13 17:26:22

Hey, am I in the right place? Must be.

soop - and bags - have a great day.

I have just got home after my singing group, still have tunes running in my head. (We're singing for the U3a Xmas do.)
And I am very tired after having gutter men here for two days.

The bad news is, today they discovered rot in some of the rafters over the bathroom window.....
Means scaffold needed to get at it
Means more work to finish
Means more money!!!!!
when, I think they just raised the hill by several metres....

Somebody making coffee, or shall i do it?

Lona Wed 27-Nov-13 17:42:18

Oh Alie Here's a coffee with a stiff shot in it! shock

kittylester Wed 27-Nov-13 17:49:32

And a piece of the enormous carrot cake soop left. Sorry to hear about your rafters Alie.

I should point out that I said I had a cr***y time not that I had been crying, although I nearly did once, in frustration! I was more likely to bash someone - but didn't! Don't want people feeling sorry for me when I'm just p***ed off!! angry

As my DDs say 'GGGGRRRR' grin

AlieOxon Wed 27-Nov-13 17:57:08

Whew, that was a stiff one!...can I have another?

AlieOxon Wed 27-Nov-13 20:03:43

Do you think the carrot cake will soak it up???....maybe I should have some more? I mean cake?

kitty, I think I am both p***d off and p***d .......
