Morning all, well the cafe thread is just about full so here's the new thread.

Just a reminder Florence has made pastries over night, the garden is open with the sensory garden, the cat area (with catnip bush) is available and feel free to cool your feet int the water feature.

good luck with the mental health team.

@NoGravyForYou I have no idea how you have not done that sooner. Good for you. I'm not vegan, I'm a confirmed corpse cruncher but a vegan relative is getting married (not imminent) so I'm putting together my favourite recipes, well vegan versions of them.

Along with anecdotes such as why you should not open champagne with a sword unless you want to do a Harry Potter impression for a month.

O it sounds like lots of you lovely people are having a stressful time so Florence has made a load of pastries and I've made a load of chocolate deserts (I recommend the mousse) and opening the bar.

My grandmother was a wise woman (there are also rumours about her being a witch) who said if you are feeling down that is the best time to drink champagne, it cheers you up, so champagne all round, you can add orange juice if it is a bit early.

@mog I've been there with exDP and can honestly say it was the hardest thing I've ever been through. Please look after yourself as the next few weeks and months will be so tough going. One thing I've learned is that it's true that you can't poor from an empty cup and there's a reason why in plane crashes you put your oxygen mask on first. Sending you all the love and best wishes ❤️❤️❤️

@Frownette No no response from the boyfriend. Tried to contact him via twitter but just kind of gave off crazy stalker vibes ( you both need to be following each other before you can PM each other ) so in the end I sent a message to his LinkedIn acc which he seems to be pretty active on as he's job hunting. Not the ideal place 🙈 I feel like I've made enough effort to try and tell him, I can't find him on other social media's or find an email for him. There's every chance that he won't believe me!

@sashh that is a beautiful wedding present. I'm sure your relative will be so delighted with that.

mogloveseggs · 23/06/2020 09:09

Thanks for the good wishes
@NoGravyForYou god he really is a shit.

NoGravyForYou · 23/06/2020 11:10

Please do look after yourself @mogloveseggs ❤️

And yes he really is 🤣 Still his next breakdown is the OW's problem now, not mine!

NoGravyForYou · 23/06/2020 15:04

Just a wee update on my little life drama ( which pales in significance to what poor Mog is going through) the boyfriend confronted the OW. Found out when exDPs sister text me to ask did I really tell him 🙈 I'm obviously now public enemy number one and a total psycho 😂

mogloveseggs · 23/06/2020 17:03

Nope you're not

mogloveseggs · 23/06/2020 17:05

Pressed send too soon

mogloveseggs · 23/06/2020 17:07

They're not nice people.
Feel for the boyfriend but it is better to know than not. I think emotional affairs are worse even than sex. Sorry not making much sense but hope you're ok Flowers

NoGravyForYou · 23/06/2020 17:31

Thank you @mogloveseggs ❤️

Yes I think I would have preferred if it had just been sex, rather than declarations of love and declaring that he never loved me at all etc

Fuck it, I'm opening the champagne. Anyone else want a glass?

How are you getting on Mog?

sashh · 24/06/2020 04:42

Morning all.

IRL the cat decided it was time to play with my toes at 2.00am, I have now given in to watch the sunrise in the garden.

Is there any champagne left?

Florance has made some fine baguettes and the jams / preserves she made a couple of weeks ago are ready.

Morning everyone.

@sashh.... was it nice in the garden at 4am?

@mogloveseggs.....hope you all are ok? Sending you a massive hug.

@NoGravyForYou hope u are ok too.

NoGravyForYou · 24/06/2020 15:35

Sorry @sashh I think I drank all the champagne!

Thank you all for all the kind words. OW appears to have dumped exDP. Lots of people are cross with me, but I still feel like I did the right thing.

Hope you got on ok with the mental health team today @mogloveseggs ❤️

mogloveseggs · 24/06/2020 22:10

Hiya
Yes appointment went well today thanks.
She's not with me full time at the moment but has to be home for school days and appointment days her MH worker said as she missed an appointment.
One day at a time.

mogloveseggs · 24/06/2020 22:11

Oh balls to them @NoGravyForYou
You didn't owe anybody anything
They're the liars and the cheats

mogloveseggs · 24/06/2020 22:11

I missed champagne?

NoGravyForYou · 24/06/2020 23:44

Glad today went well @mogloveseggs

One day at a time is absolutely the best way to look at it. Hope you're doing ok!

We can open some more!

You definitely deserve it after the few days you've had x

sashh · 25/06/2020 05:07

Morning all, well the champagne is going down well I see

I don't think a greasy fry up goes well with wine so I'm going for a Dutch/German spread of hams, cheese, hard boiled eggs

NoGravyForYou · 25/06/2020 08:15

Morning @sashh

How are you? Looks like the weather has finally picked up, might venture out to the garden today. I should be on my holidays today 😭

sashh · 25/06/2020 08:25

@NoGravyForYou

Well have a holiday at home. I'm down one air con at the moment, I walked out of the bedroom and the heat hit me.

OP posts:
mogloveseggs · 25/06/2020 08:34

Ooh I'd love air con at the moment!
Morning all breakfast sounds good sassh
What's everyone up to today?
We're going to the beach.
Must be mad.
But setting off when the tide comes in so hopefully everyone will have gone home when we get there Grin

mogloveseggs · 25/06/2020 09:07

And thanks for the champagne @NoGravyForYou
I like it mixed with peach schnapps!

PinkDaydreams · 25/06/2020 09:40

Morning all!
@mogloveseggs the beach, I’m very jealous! May suggest to DH we go later too as I’ve checked the weather and it’s rain for a week from tomorrow Hmm
@sashh when do you get your exam results?

mogloveseggs · 25/06/2020 09:48

Yep rain here too hence braving it.
45 mins to get there and I reckon I can do 4 hours without a wee? Grin

NoGravyForYou · 25/06/2020 10:27

Oh I love peach schnapps so I'll try that next time!

Have a nice time at the beach @mogloveseggs

It's glorious here today!
