Hope everyone who isn't well feels better soon! We discovered a lost 8 week old kitten today so are temporarily housing him while we look for his family.

Lovely news Lone - congratulations. Your instincts were spot on.

NoWordForFluffy · 07/07/2019 22:24

Congratulations, Lone!

Mrs, go and ask your GP / nurse practitioner for Laxido, and take with fruit juice. Top dose, two days: 💩 💩💩💩 Even on a load of codeine. You'll be a new woman. Flowers

Awwww. She's lovely, Lone!

Morning.

Looks to be another nice day here today.

I've told DH that we're having a sorting day next weekend as I'm sick of the clutter building up which he assists in creating rather than helping reduce! I can't wait to have an ordered house again!

I'm sending DH 'scrumping' today (for raspberries from the empty plot next to ours; there's loads of them!).

Morning everyone 😀
Beautiful little girl Lone you enjoy her and take care of yourself too bless you 🤗
Great idea Fluffy 😊
The phantom raspberry thief lol l am harkening back to the 2 Ronnie's show when they had the phantom raspberry blower lol
Yay to an ordered house!
Off to Mum's this morning. No headache or nausea so fingers crossed 😄
Have a lovely day everyone 😀

EmrysAtticus · 08/07/2019 08:01

Argh DH is falling in love with the kitten!!!!

I did say Emrys 🐈🐱🐾😽
😍🤗 He is adorable 😍♥️

Mrsmadevans · 08/07/2019 08:29

Feeling better today, just taking the gabapentin, paracetamol and Diclofenac. It still hurts like hell but at least l am not woozy and have a headache from hell.
Bloody tablets , bloody sciatica 🙄👿

NerosFiddle · 08/07/2019 12:06

Afternoon all. I'm feeling a good bit better today and have just ate a potato waffle. Haven't had them in years but thought I'd go for something plain and easy to make.

Congratulations Lone. She's lovely.

Mrs eat as much fresh fruit ate fruit drinks as humanly possible 😄.

I'm looking at holidays for next year to cheer myself up. Can't really afford it but there's no harm in looking.

CrazyBaubles · 08/07/2019 13:54

Congratulations Lone she's beautiful.

Emrys your new addition is also adorable Xmas Grin

MrsMad any news on when your scan will be?

Hangover is gone Fluffy but I'm very tired today 😴

Neros where are you thinking of for a holiday? Budget flights and air b&b have made some lovely destinations affordable for us when money was tight.

I've been rubbish on my diet and had a McDs for lunch. I never do that but I needed to sit somewhere away from the office in peace for an hour. Back on it from teatime though.

NerosFiddle · 08/07/2019 13:59

Crazy I don't mind where we go really. We normally just get a cheap flight over to England and air bnb it or go to a premier inn. In August/September though we are going to Portugal. Its the last day of the summer holidays so we got a good price.

TheWoollybacksWife · 08/07/2019 15:18

Neros are you tied into school holidays? If not or if you can go at Easter rather than July/August then I can highly recommend trying to find an Airbnb in Trastevere in Rome. DD1 lived there when she was doing her MA and we went out to visit her over her Easter holidays. It was a piece of cake to get to by public transport from the airport (train then tram) and getting round the city was easy by tram.

Mrsmadevans · 08/07/2019 16:26

Nero have just eaten raspberries and mango with a little bit of fresh cream as per your suggestions 😄 hope you are feeling Better too. Nothing wrong with a potato waffle in my book lol
Crazy same goes for a maccy D's 😀 no news re MRI yet 🙄
Woolly those hold sound lovely great tips for Nero 😄

NerosFiddle · 08/07/2019 16:59

Woolly not tied into school holidays yet. DS doesn't start school until next September. I will look at your suggestion. Rome was actually one of mine and dh first holidays away together.

Mrs I forgot how much I like potato waffles.
Try pineapple too.

Mrsmadevans · 08/07/2019 20:23

Will do Nero , have a bag of frozen in the freezer , will get it out now Smile
If you cook them really crispy they are very nice, specially with a fried egg on the top with a runny yolk Grin glad you are feeling better m'dear Flowers

2littleninjas · 08/07/2019 20:31

Can I join your Christmas Countdown? (great idea btw) My twins’ birthday is early January so the whole festive period is great in our house

NoWordForFluffy · 08/07/2019 20:32

Mrs, dried apricots will sort you out. I ate half a big bag post c-section and they worked a treat!

Neros, waffles are great. Can't beat retro food stuffs!

Crazy, one McDs won't hurt. 😁

I'm tired today. As in exhausted. Not enough sleep and I had to work late too as I had a conference with a client in Chambers. Early night tonight.

Welcome ninjas. My DS has his birthday in early January and it's a lovely way of extending the festivities.

I caved and bought DD2 some earrings too and they arrived today. My present stash is looking very healthy.

2littleninjas · 08/07/2019 20:45

Before the twins I felt very down in the dumps after New Year’s Day Wooly so I love that their birthday extends the Festive magic a little longer
