The cafe is still open...

...because I didn't close it over the weekend.

Today's special is eggs.

Boiled, fried, poached, coddled, convent, I might even do scotch eggs.

Tea and coffee as always and toast of course.

Thanks. I'm busy as well. I've just grabbed a coffee and pastry on my way . I checked the hot plates, and turned the sausages over that were keeping warm in the oven. I'm hoping there will be a few left for a lunchtime sandwich.

Oh thank god the cafe is open!! I've already had a nightmare morning trying to get an online shopping slot to check out. My slot expires in 50 mins and the website has a glitch. No one to speak to until 8! Been up since 3am! Exhausted and needing coffee and pastry!

Morning all, hope everyone has a good day. My first quiet day for a while so I'll get stuck into the washing up. Lovely cuppa this morning thank you

Morning all, if any sausages available I'd love a sarnie. I have to go to the bank today so who knows how long I will be out. Could do with milky tea too if someone can point me in the right direction. Thanks.

Frownette · 24/03/2020 07:51

Morning all! I have a cup of tea so I'm sorted

Frownette · 24/03/2020 07:52

Thanks Frownette.
Bank went good but was just a bit of a faff, one person in and one person out. Back at DPs now, doing a bit of clearing up. Would love cuppa and a biccy to keep me going

Frownette · 24/03/2020 14:52

I'd love tea as well Smile

It's just getting off the sofa to get it, sashh is off

Morning all, I has#ve another busy day (OU assignment due in) but there are hot drinks, I've arranged for the virtual sweet centre to deliver samosas and jellabies to go with the tea and coffee, that should keep my regulars fed.

Morning.. thank you. I'll grab my coffee and dash off t school. Wish me luck.

crazycatlady7 · 25/03/2020 07:04

Good luck with assignment! Grabbing a tea and getting up with the baby- another bad night- DH has to take over in the night for me.... but at least we have to stay home so can nap with baby.

Hey all.

Well the assignment has gone in half completed.

Thanks for helping out, I hop you all enjoyed the samosas.

At least it's gone off so you don't have to think about it for now.

Samosas were gorgeous.

crazycatlady7 · 26/03/2020 01:14

At least it's in!

Just grabbing a Samosa and a coffee... baby is up again- not helped by DH argument with me as he woke him! Please can someone give me some hope that LB will sleep more than 2hrs at a go?

Morning all.

Hot drinks all round with home made shortbread and scotch pancakes.

Order what you want, I want to forget about integration by substitution for a while.

@crazycatlady7 Is your baby awake to be fed? If so then your dh should be making you a hot drink and a biscuit, you shouldn't need to come here for that.

Any camomile tea, I feel the urge to go rant mode and could do with calming down 😄

I always have chamomile tea, here you go, would you like a little honey with it.

OP posts:
Thepigeonsarecoming · 26/03/2020 04:27

Yes please, and chocolate, lots of it! Please!

crazycatlady7 · 26/03/2020 04:39

He won't make me a drink! He's tired too.... I did point out it's nothing compared to me as I'm up most nights. I've very good as not letting baby wake him as he complains if he is woken but I'm trying not to jump at every waking to see is baby will learn to fall back to sleep without me- sometimes he can, but will be noisy about it waking DH.

I have asked DH to sleep in spare room a number of times over the week but he refuses, his help is muttering and complaining waking baby more and then is to offer to take baby, rock him for a few mins and then give up which wakes him more. Which then makes it harder for me. However He will get up when baby gets up so I sleep 5/6 for an hour or so.

Thepigeonsarecoming · 26/03/2020 04:50

@crazycatlady7 wonders if you meant to start a thread? Do you want tea, I have a fresh pot of camomile?

@crazycatlady7

Sounds like hard work, both the baby and your dh, here have an extra crunchy chocolate chip cookies.

Did you say homemade shortbread??! I'm starving this morning.

sashh · 26/03/2020 05:43

I did @whatever45, I'm not allowed to make it IRL, my carer says it is like crack, he can't eat just one piece.

whatever45 · 26/03/2020 07:16

Well therefore it's only right that I eat the rest. Happy to help .
