Soop's friendly KITCHENERS

Good wishes for your trip soop and yes, keep those jeans clean. I heartily recommend baby wipes for removing the odd spot. annsixty, can't say I understand your diagnosis, but isn't it good to get one? For me a diagnosis makes any ailment feel more manageable, hope its the same for you. There seems to be a lot of positive about, which is wonderful. I know there is not yet a sensible offer on your home Lona but you are getting the viewings and you only need one person to offer you a sensible price and go ahead, fingers are crossed for you. I can well remember my frustration during our last house move, interestingly the couple I was sure hated the house offered a good price and it all went through relatively easily, shows how wrong I can be. We've a lovely sunny day today, all washing dried and ironed, hooray. Doesn't take much to make me happy. My moan of the day is technology, needed to change passwords on four email accounts. 20 minutes I thought - huh, three hours later with a blinding headache I accomplished it on all 5 devices that needed adjusting. Surely it should be easier? I guess operator error was in there somewhere but I refuse to take the blame for it all. The day went smoothly enough after that, though, so I'm trying to see it as a learning experience , certainly a more polite description that the one I used this morning.

Advice taken, soop ! And Bon Voyage/Buon Viaggio

Crafting Thanks for making me chortle.

cornergran Thank you for your message.
I'm delighted to hear that you are happy with the simple things in life. Me too.
As for frustration with technology...it took us almost as long to do something fairly straightforward. I was almost in tears at the end. My language was indigo blue. MacS raised an eyebrow several times.

Hair needs washing. Final faffing with the wee bag that I shall be taking to Sussex. My son won't be able to believe his eyes. Once...very many years ago, I had three suitcases to take to Crete. I was very much fitter in those days.

I'm on the border of Hampshire and Sussex and it's warm in the sun but a strong cool breeze is making it a bit chilly out of the sun. I always recommend layers when it's like this so don't come expecting it to be cracking the flags dear soop!

Hope you have a lovely time with your family and return refreshed.

Alea of course there are hunks in M&B though they may not be the ones that get the girls in the end. In fact, it's likely that the girl sees the light and realises that it's the decent guy she really loves. Awwwww!

Just got my iPad back from having its broken screen fixed (DGD accidentally dropped it) so haven't had time to catch up with all your goings-on.

Just want to wish soop and MacS a really happy family reunion. Shall look forward to hearing all about it and, hopefully, seeing some photos on your return.

Safe travels ?

soop Have a wonderful time with your family! We'll be waiting with bated breath for your account of your adventure! Xxx
????

soop you will need a map or a sat nav to find us lot because I am sure that we will have moved again by the time that you return. Have a lovely break- Torben will be counting the hours now. Enjoy yourselves and do not forget to come home. I know of two beasties who will want to see you.

Don't worry about finding us soop, we will arrange for some of Galen's young men to escort you.

Have a super time

soop though I have wide reading tastes I have never tried mills & boon, I was going on hearsay.

cornergran don't you just love it when a site tells you that you have entered your password wrong and need to reset it so you reset it to what you thought it was and they say you can't use the same password ? But you just told me it wasn't that one ?

soop if I don't 'see' you before you go, enjoy yourself.

Okay my lovelies. I'm about to log off. Daft, isn't it, when a virtual kitchen can mean such a lot, all thanks to the people who frequent it.

The big family gathering isn't until September. The wee get-together will be very much quieter (not)...

Please enjoy each other's company. I shall miss you something rotten. However, I shall be back to catch up on Monday afternoon.

and (((hugs))) and

When the cat's away!!!!!!!

"Alea of course there are hunks in M&B though they may not be the ones that get the girls in the end. In fact, it's likely that the girl sees the light and realises that it's the decent guy she really loves. Awwwww!"

but pleasantly reassured (I think?)

Good evening all.

Have been vastly entertained by your posts , I am looking forward to the hunks in pinnies !!

Safe travels soop have a wonderful time.

Alea any news of baby?? I hear the weather is good, time to arrive soon!!

* cornergran* I use an app called Dashlane that manages all my passwords and synchs them across all my devices, so change one change them all. Very useful.

The sun shone on us today but yesterday's rain left the pool chilly so only Jackson and I braved the pool at 7am but I have attached a picture !!

I do have a question for you all ... Jackson aged 4 has a huge problem with styes on his eyes. They don't seem to trouble him but he has had too many to count in the months leading up to Christmas and now another one that is positively huge.

The doctor said it was just one of those things and nothing could be done, so any old fashioned remedies you can think of? Anything that might help?

Anyway, time for a quiet evening as both boys fell asleep very early :-)

Thanks for the suggestion nanaandgrampy. Will investigate for the sake of my sanity. . Can't help Jackson, though wish I could. Hopefully someone will come along with the answer, poor little soul, miserable things to have. Have fun in the pool, hope it is warmer next time.

Nana, try rubbing the style (gently!!) With a gold ring. Old wives tale, but seems to work.

There used to be an ointment called 'Golden Eye Ointment' that was good. Happy Hols ?

NanaandGrampy the pool looks very inviting and Jackson is having a great time.

His stye is caused by the bug staphylococcus aureus and usually does not need treatment but antibiotic eye drops prescribed by your doctor (a tad difficult where you are) usually does the trick if he is rarely free of the problem. Has he got crusty eyelids? He could have blepheritis. (spelling?) Maybe get the eyes looked at when you come home again? I do not know of any other treatment, old wives or other I am afraid. I can sympathise as I had that problem during childhood and teenage years. I also could not keep my hands off it!

We are expecting T of 26C in London on Sunday- cannot wait- look what you are missing?!

Good morning 'kitcheners ' !

Thank you for the suggestions?

I too wot did the ring thing but having read up , the 'magic' is just the pressure lol but at this stage we are willing to try anything. He now has a multi vitamin daily in case his immune system needs a boost, and he's a healthy little eater. He has had antibiotic cream so think we'll just pop into a Centra Care and see if they will prescribe it.

My other thought was warm cotton pad on the eye every 30 mins or so to soften the headend hopefully encourage it to burst as his eye is semi closed .

Anyway, today he is off to meet Optimus Prine with Mum and Dad and we have the little chap for the day. I see a trip to the park and then a treat before lunch and with luck an afternoon nap for all as the boys are still on UK time and were up at 4am !!

A healthy 75 degrees here today ( I think I'm still on old measurements lol) .

I hope all is well with everyone x

nannaandgrampy one of mine had lots of styes and one which wouldn't go. Had op in the end to remove which worked well. Try asking chemist if they have any ideas or go back to GP and ask again

Thanks * Crafting * I never knew anyone who got so many x

These are my partners in crime!!

Hope you are all well x
