Tada! A shiney new thread - get me with my fancy asterisks

Brilliant news, SR. Well done that girl!!!!!

Cakes, the rads lady said it was a shame the breast unit put me through to the consultant's sec who spoke to the doc. If they'd put me through to a bc nurse they story would have been different and I'd probably be 'seen to' today.

grrr on figgy's behalf
Well done to SR's clever dd - excellent news (visions of German sausage wafted through my mind)
Hope Mr KK is back safely soon and that hair cut is pleasing to you -will he bring maple syrup ?
Where has dh gone Cakes ? that's rather sweet that he was missing you
Have cleaned the inside of the windows- must be mad.

Well done junior sands !

boy topsy is upstairs regaling his father with all the wonderful things he did at school today .
He is , how ever , dismayed to find on Mondays timetable , TRIPLE P.E . Sporty he is not !

My Oncs don't like to drain things either , they say its because its just another way to introduce infection .

smee - stay away from that poor traffic warden !

kk - how's the new hair ? Am also desperately trying to think of what gifts your hubby could bring you back from Canada ? I did get stuck for a while on just Maple Syrup .
But then thought he could bring you back a Mounty AND a bottle of Maple Syrup ............. .

He's back in about 10 mins I will update you on gifts. Hair is good - nearly had a disaster when tried to get money out and couldn't remember my PIN (another senior moment) after one attempt which i got wrong, I stopped and asked i the bank if they could let me withdraw on my card, luckily they did, or I wouldn't have been able to pay for the haircut.

Skateboarding - brilliant Smee

Well done topsy junior, glad he had a good day. I have done a topsy with my clothes before now, - there are days when I hate every item of clothing I own!

Well done to your DD SR, - excellent news

Figgy, - very annoying they won't drain, I hope it decides to disperse on its own soon.

Oooh - I hear DH, - will be back later.

hooray for the return of Mr KK ! and nice hair. I have a real block about my credit card number- I had to change the card as someone may have hacked into my account and my mind refuses to absorb the new number,so lots of embarrassment at check outs.
Just had a very nice G&T at my parents in the garden.

Ooh G&T in the garden - that sounds very civilised MAS

Well DH is back, and I am trying to stop him falling asleep (at his request) but its a bit of a losing battle.

he has done very well with the presents, I've got 2 lovely tops, one with a sort of ethnic design on, some earings (again ethnic design, - he knows I love that kind of stuff) a traditional healing charm, maple syrup, maple cream cookies (yum yum).

Its good to have him back, he's got photos he's taken of an osprey with a fish, and lots of others.

topsy, - I've rummaged in his suitcase but there is no Mountie,- otherwise I'd have wrapped him up and sent him to you

< topsy sulks and kicks kks DH for not providing her with Her Very Own Mountie >

topsy has also consumed 2 large glasses of wine , and had some very good company tonight . Laughter truly is the best medicine

good old dh KK - ace presents,shame about the mountie.

sands...that really is good news

wow figgy how unfair they should have at least called you in to take a look.

didnt do to well my self today went in to get my saroma drained the nurse managed to get a fair amount of fluid from the boob i shouldnt have. but was concerned about the swelling in my side,arm pit and collar bone the only way to get to them was to go in through the arm pit which only a doctor can do.anyway doctor tried 3 times and kept missing the pockets of fluid apparently i have cording in my arm pit which is causing a blockage so have to go back monday to be drained with the help of ultra sound. honestly i get every flipping complication going grrr.

dragged my daughter shopping for more underwear that no doubt that will be as useless as the rest and bought some more new tops.

Pink, arrrgh and eek and have a . Not that a is much consolation.

Skateboarding? Excellent!

Feeling a lot more human. Tired, but human. Hadn't realised how non-coping I've been the last few weeks...

SR fantastic news for you dd. Not quite sure who the research in German and the briefi in English works My dh who is german has long wanted to write a cookery book with out Jamaican friend, combining both foods , not a natural symbiosis except when you consider stodgy carbs and love of sweet things

Figgy this is awful, I hope the stomping helped, although I suspect not on your behalf.

Pink I do hope you are not extra sore after yesterday more offered!

Amber I am glad you are feeling more human. Big hugs and a

Topsy I too have done a topsy many many times, I currently hate everything I own in my wardrobe, except the charity shop purchases. One of which I wore yesterday, dc all commented on how lovely it looks, dh came home from work and said "new top? Its nice" and then proceeded to tell his sis that I looked like the wife of a rugby player, because it is stripey. only that morning he told me I used to be curvey but fat had filled all my curves in! Sorry you didn't get the mountie

Kurri I am glad he is home bearing fab gifts over senior moments of bus and pin number, it happens to us all.

MAS cleaning the windows...wow, do you offer your services to other's houses? I am of your green flipflops.

Cakes I am sorry you have been left sorting though the chaos. Hope you get your phone sorted soon. that he rang because he missed you though, (I would love that), even if he was overly 8 times persistent.

Smee SKATEBOARDING!!!!!!! Wow I am so impressed never mind your ds. I would take the skateboartd out to the street when dh is not around . At about the same time that you were waterballooning and hiding from the tarffic warden, I too was filling water balloons for my three. DD1 spent a long time either twisting the balloon to make to connected smaller balloons and shouting out for everyone to look at her boobies, or trying to break the balloons on her head. The joys of being 6!

Am off the watch the apache link!

extra for anyone who gets to the end of that message!....sorry

Sparkle, he said what??! Blimey, how ruddy rude Just what we don't need to hear from partners.

agree with amber there sparkle- I'd be very upset if dh said something like that - maybe it was a sort of compliment (hopeful emoticon) ?

Pink - poor love-it sounds thoroughly miserable- a gentle hug for you.
Amber- hooray for feeling more human- I think you only realise how much you've been dealing with when there is a break -
Today would have been my brother's 50th birthday- can hardly believe it- he'll always be a ten year old in my memories, but how I miss the person he would have been. Am putting a sweet photo of him on fb to remember him.

Ooh sparkle my DH would have got a swift cuff round the lughole for that one !

pink - ooooooooouch !!!

figgy - hope you are feeling a little better today .

amber - welcome back to the land of the living

mas - saw the pic of your brother on fb , beautiful photo . Happy Birthday brother mas

DD has 2 parties to go to today . The morning one , she is being picked up for in less than an hour > Eeek , better get dressed !
Then the afternoon one is at a climbing wall ! I forsee a trip to casualty
Whilst she is at that one , me and a couple of the other mums are going out for lunch . Should be fun .

Still sulking about my Mountie mr kk .............

mas..you touched a nerve, im going to light a candle for your brother.

got woke early this morning thought the house was on fire,but no the 15 dd had ran out of hairspray. geeze could do with out false alarms like that.

managed to buy a soft comfortable type bra with thick straps from matalan yesterday also went shopping for tops but ended up buying a new dress and cardie just because they was bargains trouble is the dress shows my cleavage so totally defeats the reason why i went shopping in the first place.

amber..glad your feeling a bit better

thank you pink- that is lovely of you.
Sorry to hear about scary alarm calls by dd and the shopping traumas.

MAS, that's sad. Must be odd to remember and wonder what he'd be like if he was still with you. Virtual hugs to you and your parents too. Must be a strange day for you all.

Amber, great to hear you're on the up. Does take a while once you're finished, so take it easy.

Pink, grr for you on seroma fluid and for hysterics of DD. Still if running out of hairspray is her only problem, she's not doing too badly.

Figgy, hope your seroma's not too uncomfortable today and that life's sunny.

• v.glad to hear Mr Kurri's safely home, though I think he could have managed a Mountie for Topsy too.

Am feeling a bit shoddy this morning. Went out to pub with a gaggle of friends last night, then onto a very hip bar - our High Street is now apparently officially hip. All wasted on me, but v.amusing to sit and people watch. I saw crepe soles, mohicans, granny boots and several young trendy men, sporting goaties and pedal pusher type shorts. I was of course wrapped up in a cardie, saying 'g'ah we were wearing all that in the 80's.'

Hi all,
Hope everyone is having a good day, slightly relieved that my own wardrobe malfunctions are fairly universal. I know they are pricey but I find, please don't shout at me, Boden vest tops well worth the investment. The colours tend to go with everything so all my old, in hindsight slappery, dresses/tops can be worn without it being obvious I am wearing a vest! Plus, hang my head in shame, they wash so well!
Sitting in the garden drinking Pimms, well got to use it up before autumn!

yes,we have seen all those fashions before ! I'd be thinking the same smee
Thanks for kind words- I saw my parents yesterday evening but we didn't mention the birthday -I think we all know (though they may have not realised it would be his 50th- they forget my age !)but we don't say-I was afraid I think of making them feel sad-we can't really cope with that-if I'd had more gin I might have said something. It's much easier for me on here on on fb (a lot of my fb friends know about my brother and some knew him)Even posting it made me feel a bit weird as I don't want people to feel bad on my account but the Cruse counselling showed me the very bad affects of not grieving properly and acknowledging it.

ILGC - enjoy the last of the Pimm's !
Also don't be embarrassed about Boden vest tops- only today I was thinking how useful a vest top is - am wearing a Gap one under quite a tight shirt and it is covering my chest modestly- I am not a one for cleavage !

I totally agree with you about grief MAS, it is early days for us yet, but I believe that my DH deserves to be acknowledged and we try to refer to him/his likes/dislikes/foibles etc as we did when he was alive. We all find it helpful to affirm his strong presence in all our lives. At first people were uncomfortable but I felt it would be a betrayal of my children if we no longer spoke about him. Indeed last night we were taking the micky out of his idea of doing a 'proper' tidy ie if he did the clearing up it somehow was better that anyone elses efforts, bless him! I think it is important that the dead are remembered as they really were, in DH's case intensely annoying but always loveable!

There is a candle lit here too, MAS.

ILGC, I agree with you on the grief thing. We always talked about my dad and still do, acknowledging all his foibles every bit as much as his strengths. We openly admit he used to drive us around the bend with his controlling ways - but we loved him all the more for being human and fallible.

Vest tops are an absolute godsend. Can't have too many of them in my view.

Love to all. x

thanks too Cakes
