PJ that is excellent news your poor DH Flowers
Bob & Mum, yes they are getting on like a house on fire Grin he's very nice bless him, l saw him on the nanny cam last night carrying Mums handbag in with him and l thought he was a sweetie . I can see him wanting to marry her tbh , you heard it here first Grin
I will be the oldest flowergirl Grin
Seriously though, they are really happy together, it is lovely to see them find comfort in each others company Smile

Now that WILL upset your sister, Mrs, as it will invalidate any precious Will she's written. She'll spit feathers! 😂

I've had such a busy day. And still didn't get everything done. I'm just up the wall!

I wonder where you know who has gone Fluffy?
I gave her the benefit of the doubt but l am telling everyone here l will not be acknowledging anyone new here ever again unless they have been on other threads for a while beforehand .
Quite what they think they are doing is anyones guess. I still think it all stems from Aceymac13 last year, since then we have been plagued with them. They suck!
So take this latest poster , only been posting on MN for 2 days yet managed to find us so quickly , when l started on MN it took me ages to find you all here and l lurked for ages .

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 20:35

It's such a waste of time isn't it mrs, what's the point?

Dh is on stronger antibiotics.

Work was challenging, the same patient has pissed me off every weekend for the past 3 weeks so far, she even went and moaned about me to the staff nurse Grin

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 21:41

Well done on your getting things sorted though Fluffy l bet you made inroads into the pile of work you had Smile
Huge drama tonight, l had to leave here at half 6 , Mum phoned me , Bob had fallen in the drive. banged his head and hurt his leg. I rang his daughter and went straight there, took Mum home and sorted her out she was terribly upset so l gave her a 2mg Valium, soup, tea, pork pie , juice and a trifle she scoffed/drank the lot ! Poor Bob l hope he will be alright . Just got home now .

PhilomenaChristmasPie · 07/02/2020 21:48

DS2 went to see Cirque du Soleil with school today, they got back just before 6.30.

Both DC are still up, DS2 will go to bed at 10.15, DD will go at 11.

How is everyone and what drama have I missed?

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 21:51

Take no notice PJ I know for a fact it isn't you ! I bet she complains about everyone Flowers
Glad your poor DH is on stronger antibiotics poor thing .

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 21:52

PSB that is fabulous for your DS2 l bet he loved it !

CrazyBaubles · 07/02/2020 22:04

Today has been a good day. Meeting 1 for the new project went really well, then I went to a meeting in Cardiff, person who's presentation was part of the meeting was sick so it finished at 3 ish and I came straight home.
I've spent a good few hours cross stitching and watching BoB

Fluffy We've just watched episode 9 where they found the camp. It's very well done and I've watched quite a few WWII things but this is just so hard hitting it's really got to me.

Agree MrsMad, I spent a long time reading here before being brave enough to post and it took even longer for me to find the Christmas topic and nice threads. Madness that anyone would waste their time to be honest.

I hope Bob is ok.

PJ what makes people moan so much said as someone who used to handle complaints 🙄

Welcome back PSB!
I saw Cirque du Soleil in Vegas last summer - did DS2 enjoy it!

dayowl · 07/02/2020 22:06

thank you fluffy. and to others im not sure what has happened but i name change reguarly have been here for years since dd was born. i came here because i knew there was a christmas page and your thread was the first i saw sorry to offend will be off now

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 22:40

Crazy , glad you are enjoying BoB it was all l could do to watch Catch 22 and omg it was sad but excellent .
Good start to project 1 and to come home early on a Friday afternoon what a plus! Grin
Thank you Crazy Smile I have just heard from Bob's daughter , they are waiting for an xray , he will be fine l am sure he is very fit physically bless him.
Best get to bed am so tired night everyone Smile

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 22:51

I can't say too much, she wants to try everything before she has it, but I also have other patients waiting to be fed, I can't let her do that, I have half an hour in which I can serve the food, if she wants to try more after everyone else then yes that's fine, but only if it's within the half an hour time frame, this is law, nothing I can do about it. She is the only patient that is doing it.

Roll on half term and my weekend off.

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 22:52

mrs, poor Bob bless him, please keep us updated, I feel like you are an honorary member of the nutty family Grin

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 22:54

PJ let it go over your head you won't be the only one she is like this with m'dear Flowers l bet she is like it with all the staff at every meal time Smile

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 22:59

Ahh thank you PJ that is so nice of you Flowers
I will keep you [osted poor Bob , his Dd is lovely and when we got there, his son in law was lying by him on the concrete, warming him up in duvets and blankets . l want to cry now telling you that and l don't know why. l am a fully fledged member of the nutty family PJ Smile.

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 23:00

mrs, you are right, she is, I'm good at my job, I get told by alot of patients they prefer me to the lady during the week,she said to me (she's not English) you are always angry, why are you angry all the time (in my head I said to her, because you are a fucking pain in the arse) So tomorrow if she wants to go down the same route I will tell her, no, you pick what you want like everyone else, then anything else you want to try you can after everyone else has eaten, I will make sure I let the staff know before hand.

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 23:02

awww that's good to know mrs, welcome to the family Grin

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 23:04

She sounds a nightmare ! It definitely isn't you ! How can you stand her ?
I think you are lovely to the patients and she is taking advantage of your good heart.

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 23:05

Thank you for the welcome PJ Grin

PJMasksGhekko · 07/02/2020 23:10

She strops off after she's spoken to me, then goes and moans to the staff nurse doing meds Grin today though I felt more affected by it, I'm definitely tired, but like you said it's not just me she's doing it to.

NoWordForFluffy · 07/02/2020 23:13

Can you serve her last, PJ? At least everyone else has food then.

Mrs, poor Bob. I hope he's better soon.

I'm going backwards with my work, sadly. And I'm off for two days the week after next too. Arggghhh.

Mrs, the MO is to come back with some drama, saying they'll be busy sorting it out, but will come back to post when they can. But they don't. Until they're being somebody else. It's bonkers, shit and so predictable. They're fucking STUPID if they think we can't spot them. Note to the troll: you're VERY easy to spot. Your style / MO is predictable (even if you think you're mixing it up; you're not). Either just be yourself or don't bother coming back. We talk about you in PMs all the time, making sure that we all know who you are. Because we aren't stupid.

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 23:13

PJ is she supposed to have any 'tastes' of the other food?

Mrsmadevans · 07/02/2020 23:19

Fluffy , your work must be really hard atm, is it possible for you to have some help or are you like me and don't like anyone else helping
interfering Grin l am a bgr for doing that Grin
Thank you re BOB poor man .
I totally agree with you re the troll , can spot them a mile off but l have given them the last attention they are ever going to get from me .
That is it! Grin
