Thanks for popping back too, DSassy! And...'m sorry work is so tough at the min, bless you. This weather is unbearable! Don't have a thermometer indoors but, Jesus...
..t's beyond uncomfortable...
..t's hideous and actually exacerbates existing health probs for me.
..'ll join you in a min on the WAG! X

..do hope gast and drinkswine re-visit too!!

'm bloody boiling. Sorry not been on here much, got some news last week and I'm still processing it a bit. ExH had an op on Friday, it could be cancer. It probably isn't but there's a chance it is. So he can't have the kids as he's recuperating, don't know when he'll see them again. Feeling a whole mix of emotions but I'm the last person to know anything.

Aw...gast....It sounds like you're still reeling from the news and circumstances that it's brought about. Fingers crossed it will all work out ok for all concerned. + and a big hug, of course.xx

've been lurking on this thread on and off ever since it started and think perhaps it's time I showed myself. Hi everyone [waves]

'm not overheating on account of living in lovely cool Scotland. Sending cool breezes southwards to everyone else.

Well...'m so pleased you have de-lurked. A big welcome to you mornington! And...

...thank you so much for your cool breezes from Scotland. Wonderful!

...am melting...

...want to move in with you mornington (I lived in Edinburgh for a while and loved it!)

...have put DD to bed with 4 ice blocks and a frozen flannel!

Gast keep us posted, either here or on t'other thread. Hugs!

...hope you're ok DSis .....hugs too!

Oh dear God...

..'m melting too. Am sitting on sofa, not moving...but...

..'m so hot and sweaty it is horrible. We are just not used to this here -
..t's a complete shock to the system!! And..

..reiterate....so lovely to have you on board mornington! Please post again, lovely!

..hope you sleep as well as you can Dsass. X

...think -'m going to call it a night...

...hope you sleep well too DCaz and all! Night xx

... thought of you all when I watched this morning's forecast - 34 degrees down south today!! Sounds awful unless you happen to be in the sea.

... can't imagine how you could move away from Edinburgh, Sassy. Can there be a better place to live?

Thanks for the welcome, gorgeous I-thread-ers.

Hiya

...think Edinburgh is lovely too! Not been for a very long time though. In fact...
...have very fond memories of two weeks camping around Scotland. Also did the obligatory John O'Groats which is rather far from where I live - which is just 10 miles from Land's End! I'm way, way down!

...hope everyone is well? X

...agree Edinburgh is spectacular and I had a really special time there ...

...am proper sick today sadly so won't really be posting much today. Just got in from work (had to go in as key mtg) & taking 5 before going on school run (headache, temp, eye infection....not good!). Think too busy and not enough sleep means my immune system has crashed! Anyway...

....look forward to catching up properly with you all when am more in the land of the living x

Oh no! What's going on Dsassy?!
...know your work has been crazy busy. I know stress can lower the immune system. And...
...'m sure the sodding heat's not helping either!!
...Really hope you feel better soon, lovely! X

Thanks DCaz. Just burnt out, run down and crashing now. Heat and lack of sleep a definite factor though!

...made it through the school run and...
...have managed to feed us both
...am crossing fingers for some sleep this eve and hopefully will feel better in the morning xx

Hope you're feeling better today, Sassy. I gather it's cooler down south today, maybe that'll help.

Thanks mornington!
...struggled this morning and thought about taking a sick day but too busy...
...kept going with the use of various painkillers...
-'m pleased to report that though tired am starting to feel a little more human. Yay!

-t's cooler today yes thank goodness!

So. How's everyone today?

Morning!

...'m chuffed to bits by your Gazzie update, Dsass - def a case of better late than never! Bless her.

...t's sooooo much cooler here now - lovely and fresh. Much more comfortable. Your cooling breezes finally arrived mornington!

...t's almost the weekend.... later anyone?

'm starting the weekend early - I've taken today as annual leave because DD1 and her new OH are coming to stay for the weekend. Yippee! now anyone?

... thought it was supposed to be new partners who were nervous about meeting prospective in-laws, so why have I been up since 5am cleaning everything and worrying about whether I've got enough/the right food in?

...think that's really sweet mornington!
...just hope you don't experience what my then future mil did when she first met me (many moons ago now).

After a lovely meal, we moved to the lounge where a lovely fire had been lit - very cosy. The ice had been broken and the four of us were chatting away. Then mil gets up to stoke the fire and, OMG, the poor lady. As she bent over, she let out the longest, loudest fart possible. A little 'pftt' would have been bad enough but, oh no, this was a full on belter! She got up, said 'excuse the wind. Cuppa tea anyone?' Cool as a cucumber but doubtless dying inside, bless her. Haha! She was a lovely lady.

...am ROFL at your MIL story DCaz.. Brilliant 😂

...know DGazzie has literally made my day....soooo happy!

...think you sound like you're going to be a lovely MIL mornington, I hope OH is deserving of your DD1....we'll look forward to the character assassination later

've now got something else to worry about this weekend! Note to self: do not, on any pretext, bend over. I doubt I've got the self-possession to pull it off the way your MiL did, caz.

...'m sorry mornington - am laughing my socks off here!
...have no idea how she carried that off in the coolest manner either.
...would've died on the spot, I reckon. Cringe doesn't come into it.
Might I suggest that all things 'beans' are avoided for the weekend? As apparently it was those tasty little buggers that were to blame!

....hope it's successful mornington, farting or otherwise!

...hope you have a dog (or DH) lined up ready to take the blame though...just in case 😊

... need to find a dog pronto! Both DD and her OH are vegan so it's five-bean chilli for dinner, can't believe I didn't see this one coming. They're due to arrive in about an hour. Anyone got a spare pooch?

n case I don't manage to kidnap a four-legged friend in the next hour, I'm going to channel caz's MiL. Deep breath, sweet smile, offer tea...

...think you should def have some room spray handy....5-bean chilli? -t's going to be pretty lively round yours later! 😂😂😂

I'm here 👋🏻👋🏻 been on 2 weeks of nights . The worse 2 weeks I've worked on ICU for a long time. It's my birthday tomorrow . The big 40.🎂
