Please can you hold my hand for a bit. I’ve just had to make an incredibly sad decision.

[Saddecision]

I’ve just had to make the hardest and saddest choice of my life. I’m feeling sad and I have absolutely no one to talk to, and could really do with some chit chat to take my mind off things. Does anyone want a chat about anything other than my hard decision?

Oh no! I thought she was joking. I’m sorry 💐

Ooh, now there's an idea. And I've got posh custard in the fridge after crumble on Sunday. Genius! It's cinnamon brioche, do if I chuck a few raisins in, that should work nicely. DH will be very impressed when he gets home, we don't normally do dessert!

If it makes you feel better @BookShark , my kids used to beg me to “Pleeeease, just buy the cake, Mum!” (And that was before these decorated works of art were a thing!) My baking is for enemies only. I make fabulous salads and curries though - and even better than that, my cocktails are magnificent.

Whoooo…. I leave in half an hour and I’ve had two patients!!!

I made a pear, lavender and white chocolate cake. 😛
I'm sorry you've got a lot on your mind. 💕

💐 Op, what do you like to out on toast. I like mine to be cold so the butter doesn’t melt. Also a lover of marmite.

Want to know about our weather? Torrential rain, thunder, wind. My flight was cancelled this morning. Here are my feathery girls looking miserable and asking if they can come in, please.

@pollyglot I thought I was looking at a depressed goose for a minute

My dog has just had some rather $$$ surgery on her elbow and so we've packed away all her toys she's not trying to run around with them.

She's on major connfinement orders and today while I was at work she spent 5 hours in the crate (big crate but still sucks when she's used to the run of the house and the yard).

I feel guilty about both those things but just now she topped it off by managing to find a ball and excitedly bringing it to me and me having to refuse to throw it for her. Lol - poor dog, the look on her face, first excited and then crushed, I feel so bad for her.

ITV Hub (I think that’s what it’s called) has a good selection of them

This is such a lovely thread and I hope has been a comfort for you OP.

Thanks to those contributing with carrot cake recipes, dog and hen pics and I’m going to seek out Miss Marple on ITV Hub.

I watch it on Britbox. Lots of other great classic shows on there as well.

But it's a hen!
How can you tell if a goose is depressed anyway? What does a happy goose look like 🤔

I think I saw it the same way for a moment, my eye was drawn to the tall grey thing to the left of the hen. I can imagine Duchess thought that was the goose and if so the way its “head” curves away does make it look depressed

Can I PM x

Where were you supposed to be going? Somewhere lovely I hope!

😆 yes that's it. I saw the concrete thing (not sure what it actually is) and it looked like the back of a goose/swans head and neck, with the bird holding its beak to its neck.

And happy gooses wear hats, everyone knows this.

Of course they do, silly me 😁

Hope you’re doing ok this morning @Saddecision or anyone else struggling at the moment.

What a lovely thread. I usually go into mnet threads with a slight clench at the ready.but this one was just as needed and calming all the way through.
hope you are ok op. We are here if you need more ears and chat about said subject or other.
I too have hd to make a hard decision.and it’s continues a butterfly of effects over the next few days for Deff if not more.it’s bought such a horrid feeling of doom to my tummy.so by you reaching out you’ve helped me and many more I’m sure.

. I also by mistake ate a whole tub of ice cream by accident.

Yes! Funny how this happens! Literally opens itself up and leaps down our protesting throat!!

Ice cream, sponge puddings and cakes have been mentioned. Shame I am (supposed to be ) dieting. I keep thinking about sponge puddings with jam or syrup!

This thread is lovely. I hope it has helped @Saddecision.

Christmas Cake and Cheese - YUM😊.
Sending you a hug OP💐
