Been out all day and only home long enough to grab sandwich, dancing tonight. Sorry Soop, looks like yo might need a kitchen extension smile

Hope all goes well at the JR tomorrow Alea on the upside, going so early means you will be able to park ( later on it's impossible.)Your DH will soon be feeling better, but it will be 'she who does everything' for quite a while, maybe we should form a club?! smile?

Tizliz Tue 07-Jun-16 19:50:49

Now this is a joke for gandtea'but I thought I had better put it hear as no-one will get upset. It is a Japanese bookmark

Tizliz Tue 07-Jun-16 19:51:26

Here not hear!

Alea Tue 07-Jun-16 20:53:29

I am not driving us, rosesarered we have to set off by 6 ? and I hate trying to find my way to a new place. So hiring a car/driver like when we go to London. But Inagree, 7 am might have been a good time to find a space, especially as we at long last havebour blue badge. But I'm not doing stress too well these days and this saves a lot of stress.
annsixty it sounds as if you had a useful visit to the Eye hospital and do hope it will have helped to cheer you up a bit. Sometimes life can really get on top of us. Now I am going to take extreme exception to the Bigger Buns comment angry Never having been over endowed in the buns department, with our without cherries on the top, I think this is a very non-PC bunnist remark and I shall probably flounce around a bit and report it. ?????

Alea Tue 07-Jun-16 20:59:05

One or two random superfluous consonants there, but I hope you get the gist!
Pity your bfracture clinic isn't tomorrow, dramatictessa, M&S do nice buns! Horrid accident to have though and you have my sincere sympathy.
Oh and kittyl worn to a frazzle does not EVER = thin /skinny in my world. Stress makes me gain weight, no stress likewise, I am doomed! grin

Crafting Tue 07-Jun-16 21:11:31

Alea I do hope things go ok for you and your DH tomorrow. I think you are right about not driving. It can add to the stress.

On the subject of these buns I am with you on this. I think we should get in a real huff about it and demand that all buns are banned from now on.........or we could make the point that they don't make diamonds the size of bricks .. grin

annsixty Tue 07-Jun-16 21:13:00

If we are going to get down to brass tacks I only have one and a half buns, but the "good one" more than compensates. I just lean to one side when I walk. Is this TMI?

annsixty Tue 07-Jun-16 21:14:47

You will realise I never stay down for long.It just isn't me.

GandTea Tue 07-Jun-16 21:17:32

Alea, just returned from our ballroom dance class. The "Flounce" sounds interesting, it that a Latin dance ?

WE have been learning to dance for a few weeks now, it's like courting again. Loving it.

Lynnieg Tue 07-Jun-16 21:40:18

knock knock Newbie here, can I come in? I've been lurking about and I thought I'd risk my first post here so I don't get accused of reading the wrong paper or having to cite my sources or something.
I've bought some salted chocolate Tiffin smile

Alea Tue 07-Jun-16 21:44:43

Surely it must feature on the next series of Strictly. But remember, you saw it here first! ????

GandTea Tue 07-Jun-16 21:45:47

Lynnieg, you have obviously been lurking long enough to realise the Achilles heel of a Kitchener -- cake, especially chocolate.
Always safe to post here, just don't mention buns (oh bugger, I just did !)

Lynnieg Tue 07-Jun-16 21:54:31

I bake every Wednesday for my work colleagues so I am aware of the therapeutic qualities of cake cupcake
My sister is a wonderful Flouncer, we called her Sarah Bernhardt when she was small because of all The Dramatics!

dustyangel Tue 07-Jun-16 21:55:12

Best wishes for your DH's procedure Alea. I hope it really helps him and you can relax into some boring "normal" life again. With plenty of time for new baby cuddles.flowers

GandTea Tue 07-Jun-16 22:10:44

alea, I'm sure MrA's surgery will go fine and he will be up and about in no time. But it is essential that you pander to his every whim for at least a month, all his favorite food, peeled grapes, soothed brow, chilled wine, I'm sure you get the picture. After about a year he might be able to help with some light chores, but not before.
Good Luck XX

Lona Tue 07-Jun-16 22:11:11

?? I'm mortified that I've upset so many big bunnies on here, and I think your cherries should obviously stand proud! cupcakecupcake
annsixty maybe you could stuff a cherry scone into the half bun cup hmm
GandTea Keep your hands off the buns!!

GandTea Tue 07-Jun-16 22:22:01

Not sure I will be able to look at Mrs P's bun tin again without a grin.

Alea Tue 07-Jun-16 22:43:43

gringrin
He's nobbled you too G&Tea, I see.
Far be it from me, but the life of Riley you describe is himself's current everyday existence hmm

cornergran Tue 07-Jun-16 22:48:32

Hope all,goes well alea. Fingers will be crossed, not that you will need it flowers.

rosesarered Tue 07-Jun-16 22:50:13

Alea I meant to tell you, that there is a really nice League Of Friends cafe on the ground floor ( which is called level 2) really fresh and good food for a small price( at the JR) it kept me going recently.

numberplease Tue 07-Jun-16 23:32:11

All my good wishes for your husband tomorrow Alea.
And all the best to your daughter Kitty.
Soop, I`ll bet that Rory never gets disturbed whilst he`s contemplating the meaning of life! Great photo.
There`s a pile of ironing staring at me as well, but whilst it`s this hot it`ll just have to stare!

kittylester Wed 08-Jun-16 07:33:22

I think I've caught up with everyone's news and I'm just popping some nice breakfast buns on the worktop. They have chopped bacon in and are topped with cheese - sorry, no cherries!!

Good luck for your DH,*Alea*, and take care of yourself too! Ann, I am so glad you are getting proper treatment at last. flowers

Dd has been discharged with a diagnosis of 'the start of an ulcer', a weeks worth of antacids and instructions to go back to the gp if the pain persists. Despite the usual perceptions, her primary care treatment was fantastic, her treatment on admission was too. She had a wait for her endoscopy but only overnight but she has only seen a senior doctor once and she is still in pain. There has been no advice about a cause or future avoidance. confused

I hope things are going well for everyone.

Lona Wed 08-Jun-16 07:56:44

kitty I hope your daughter finds the antacids help with the problem. Would a dietary change help maybe? I don't know much about ulcers but surely there's something they could advise to help prevent a full blown ulcer.
Best wishes for your dh today Alea

annsixty Wed 08-Jun-16 08:48:32

This really is the final word on my buns. I would not feel comfy with a cherry scone Lona it would crumble and itch,think crumbs in bed, but staying with the food theme I of the have a very effective large chicken fillet, and that really is what they are jokingly called and it is a very good description.
Good luck to Alea's H today and your D kitty. My eye is scratchy this morning but I am so pleased it is done and that I didn't have time to worry about it. I will still need the injections for the time being but hopefully, less frequently.
