..to tinge every celebratory day with sadness? Can't we just be allowed to be happy?

I'm all for sympathy for individuals when sad things happen in posters' lives, but why introduce misery to everything? hmm

I'm very bored waiting for "Call the Midwife"

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:34:15

I thought it was wine when I saw the thread title. Sure we had a bottle from the Co-op couple of weeks ago.

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:35:50

Ooh yes, Midwife. Things are looking up.

More cake anyone? I've got two to wade though. shock

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 19:37:07

Although midwife programme can be damn miserable.

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 19:37:34

Bored wiv me books

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 19:38:22

I'd love a bitto cake!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:40:52

So wish I could off-load some of it. I'm stuffed and I can't stop. Someone take it away!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:42:08

I didn't like the Midwife prog where the nun got attacked. But unnecessary that. hmm

I love that old girl with the Alzheimer's. She,s so clever!

granjura Sun 06-Mar-16 19:48:16

Flipping Nora- I thought you said you didn't drink jingl?

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:51:55

Oh I was waiting for some nice person to make that oh so clever remark. No booze partaken of. Sorry to disappoint. hmm

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 19:54:22

You still here wot? I made this cake, then DD bought another one. (I am crap at icing cakes)

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:02:05

It looks lovely! Don't say you're crap at icing!

Love the Cochineal!

jinglbellsfrocks Sun 06-Mar-16 20:05:32

It was a gel. Never used one before. Bit heavy handed! grin

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:05:37

Sister Monica Joans, I meant.

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:07:21

No, honestly, the cake is lovely. Pink is my favourite colour

grannylyn65 Sun 06-Mar-16 20:10:50

Have no cake and have eaten all chocolate truffles ☹️

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:14:36

Yum yum!!

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 20:42:08

I knew "Midwife" would be depressing.

I am the Cavelo Nero girl and it was surprisingly nice. The guinea pigs must do without.
Just trying to lighten the mood and lessen the tension?

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 21:37:03

Yes, I saw the food thread and realised it Cavello is a veg! I really thought it was a wine!

absent Sun 06-Mar-16 21:58:08

It's actually cavolo nero (black cabbage), also known as Tuscan cabbage. I suspect that this has little to do with this thread, which I haven't read much of, but it seems to have wandered into vegetables.

annsixty Sun 06-Mar-16 22:03:21

It doesn't, I was trying to distract the contentious way the thread was going, and I wasn't the first to do so.

wot Sun 06-Mar-16 22:15:34

Have I been contentious?? I really didn't mean to be. Now I'm worried.
