I am still awake for a bit if you want to ply me with some more jokes !

I still can't regulate my sleep patterns and " sleep hygiene" as they say !

God doesn't think he's a doctor

Tillly best wishes for your chemo. I love the rabbit/ typo joke :-)

MrsFloof congratulations to your DD!

We had a day of beastly weather - it snowed and then rained, so it felt like slippery, wet cement underfoot, with big splodgy flakes getting down the back of my coat and big cold blobs plopping out of the trees.

Sorry

MrsFloof · 10/01/2024 02:14

Thanks Math Hope the weather improved. DD just came for a chat and Floof knocked over the small Christmas tree which we need to take down.

Tilllly · 10/01/2024 02:17

Floof was trying to help
You are ungrateful

MrsFloof · 10/01/2024 02:20

😂Yes he also knocked it over twice on the 5th though then looked like huh how did that tree get on the ground 🤔He does love the tree though, won't be happy if we take his cat toy away. The big one downstairs has about 30 robins on or it did until Floof derobined it.

bizzey · 10/01/2024 02:21

Ohh talking of Christmas stuff...
After I blitzed my sitting room the other day ...I sat in a different spot as I had new cushions to try out ...as you do ..
And saw a sneaky little penguin in his full Christmas regalia with hat and scarf, still sitting there on the mantelpiece !!

Smurking at me ... !
Having the last laugh!

Wellll....he can stay there now and swelter all through summer 🤣🤣

Tilllly · 10/01/2024 04:14

There's always one

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/01/2024 04:27

Went out for cake with Havoc for a special treat. Shared a slice of chocolate birthday cake and a slice of chocolate raspberry cake, then ordered a Devil's food cake to be picked up on Thursday. That will be baby's first cake (not for her to actually eat) with her name and dob. Did the same with Havoc. Makes for a cute picture with baby. And ... I get more cake!!!😛

Tillly, hope chemo goes well. How many rounds?

That cake looks so innocent....

Enjoy!

Round 3 today - 2 x chemo, 1 x immuno

Mumtobabyhavoc · 10/01/2024 07:01

Will be thinking about you, Tillly 🩷☺️

Tilllly · 10/01/2024 07:26

Think positive thought for breakfast 😁

IWanderedLonely · 10/01/2024 07:40

Wow you've all been busy while I was snoring! Love the rabbit joke Tillly thanks - hope the chemo goes well for you. I'd love to roll over and go back to sleep but have a busy day so better get moving. Have a good day all.

MallardsMoorhensAndLethe · 10/01/2024 07:55

Sorry you're feeling down Wandered.

"Let's all make self care a priority". Amen to that, Havoc.

I saw some shooting stars in the autumn Bizzey I never saw any before that in my life. Magical, whatever they're made of.

Fingers crossed for the chemo Tilllly.

My dull news is I slept through the night (I sound like a baby!😂 Just an insomniac).

sueelleker · 10/01/2024 09:22

@Mumtobabyhavoc
Do I get the impression you're rather fond of chocolate cake?😀

MissConductUS · 10/01/2024 14:45

Great jokes, Tillly. The one about doctors and God is older than dirt, and I usually hear it as surgeons and God. Good luck with your chemo.

Havoc, that appears to be a wedding cake. DD and her fiancee are getting their cake tastings box on Saturday.

I'm now watching the third and final season of No Offence. I'm gutted that they killed off DS Joy Freers. I didn't see that coming. She felt like the dorky British sister I never had. I've also learned a new slang term, which I think is Northern - kecks. These are trousers, not pants of course.

Who isn't?!

Tilllly · 10/01/2024 16:20

Got a window seat for chemo, so I could watch parking wars outside and judge everybody

bizzey · 10/01/2024 16:31

@Tilllly ..glad you had a distraction during your chemo .
How long do the sessions last ?

@MissConductUS ...just to add to your linguist discoveries...

My dad was Irish and always said Pants instead of trousers 👖!

But my mam is Irish and I think she has always said trousers?

I wonder if it was to differentiate between male and female attire ? !
