Slainte to all my Granspals. Settle down and relax. The bubbly is nicely chilled. 
kitty (((hugs))) here for you too. If you are there at the end then you have nothing to reproach yourself for, you know how guilt settles after the event? Even when there's nothing to feel guilty about. IYSWIM. 
kitty thinking of you. (((Hugs)))
Pleased to hear the panic is over kitty.
Of course it is acceptable for one to flirt with one's Doctor, someone of the lower orders would be quite unacceptable for Hyacinth 
Huggable! I'm sure you are kitty but that's not what I typed
Just taken some sausage rolls out of the oven so thought I'd leave a plate here in the kitchen. Help yourselves but careful they're hot.
By the end of this week I will be an alcoholic and the size of a barage balloon if I eat any more goodies deposited in the kitchen. I am rather partial to sausage rolls.
kitty pleased to hear that it was a false alarm for the worry.
Doctors love being flirted with! ( even when it's technically incorrect to end a sentence with 'with' ! { I've joined the pedants club }}]
Good morning all. Just popped in to say a huge thank you for being lovely last night! I love the way gn 'gets' where I am coming from without my having to explain - just like a best friend.
I've put some hot buttered crumpets on the table, made coffee and put tea in the teapot!
I'll just polish off the sausage rolls - seems a shame to leave them sitting there!
I expect that we (and mum) are in for a rocky few days so, no doubt, I'll be back for more hugs!
Good morning kitcheners. I wish you all a peaceful christmas.
DH has a hospital appointment today of all days. I'll update you after the holiday.
Glasgow is such a sad place just now 
Galen when people write like they talk, there's no room for pedantry, and in the kitchen we say what we mean . So pendants can sit on their hands in the kitchen!
kitty big hug.
Soop (and other fans) how about some Elvis this morning? "I just can't help believing..." Makes me smile that he needs to read the words:

... and for all of those dealing with "life's rich tapestry".
Hello all, kitty glad your mum is still 'trying', 
in every sense of the word!
I'm enjoying some coffee, and I've brought some mince pies (all butter from Waitrose, yummy), to hell with the diet!
Yesterday my lovely ds brought me a beautiful Christmas card which reduced me to tears, he is so thoughtful. He was on his way for an eye test for the DVLA to decide if he can still have a driving licence in January. The equipment was ancient and the woman doing the test was really unhelpful, so we have to wait now for the results 
Baubles Hope it goes well for your dh.
Hope it's good news for your son Lona. He seems a very thoughtful person. DS1 took his driving test twice after his stroke and failed both times and was devastated. I was very pleased because his co-ordination was awful (it has improved) but it also means that I get to give him lots of lifts, which means I keep an eye on him without him noticing!!
No idea where the 'her' came from Baubles - sorry!!
I'd like Scalet Ribbons please Gaga - we don't hear it often enough - and, after the events of the last few days, I'm feeling a bit reflective!
Scarlet -flipping gecko!!
Yep and can you arrange Eartha Kitt to sing it please! Not Kylie - much as I love her!!
By the magic of this fabulous kitchen - or maybe by the magic of Christmas Eartha is here to sing "Santa Baby" for you! The same magic is also why my fingers just play whatever anyone asks them to.
Phew! I wander into our kitchen hoping that just a few Granspals are gathering and enjoying good company. I find an entire throng of merry-making lovely "peoples" and am utterly delighted.
kitty I'm so pleased to hear that your mother has rallied. One doctor in particular made my pulse-rate do a merry dance. Bags knows. I won't mention his name, because his mother is a member of Gransnet. Shh!
Baubles You are a lovely lady. I'm sending you comforting vibes from bonnie Kintyre.
Gaga You are a star. I would love you to play any tune from Les Mis. I've the video but have not seen an actual performance. Or...how about the "Can Can"...^us lot^ will don our frilly drawers and do the dance. I bags being in the middle. I shall need help standing up whilst lifting my leg.
I would very much like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our Granspal Kitcheners. Throughout the good times and the not so you have been a great comfort. I wish that I could hug each and every one of you. Thank you
soop You do hug us lots, thank goodness. We come in here for 'comfort and joy' and we certainly get it from you, and each other.
I will add my thanks to all of you too, and my love and best wishes to all kitcheners and friends 
xx
