Waves wildly and very possibly drunkernly at kk Grin

KurriKurri · 14/04/2012 20:27

Ooh I wish I was slightly inebriated had a glass of wine Grin.

Also watching the voice, and now the lottery programme has come on. What on earth has Dale Winton done to his eyes?? Confused

topsyturner · 14/04/2012 20:31

Have just peered drunkernlyclosely at Dales eyes and find he looks a little Drag Queenish ...

KurriKurri · 14/04/2012 20:35

Ha - that's what DD said, 'he's got Laydee's eyes' Grin - I think he's had them pulled up too tightly. (And he can't move his neck for some reason)

Gigondas · 14/04/2012 20:47

Dale had work??? Noo .

Watching bgt and drinking fizzy wine as dh had big win on the national. It's a good sign for us ladies Wink.

No chat - dd1 been a handful all day so done in.

Gigondas · 14/04/2012 20:48

You will be telling me dale is gay next

topsyturner · 14/04/2012 20:55

Dale is what ?
Faints clean away ...

topsyturner · 14/04/2012 20:57

Have obviously had far too much wine tonight .
Please try to not judge me and point out all the mad things I have said in the morning ...
(thanks the lord above for auto correct)

KurriKurri · 14/04/2012 21:05

Noooo - Dale gay? Big orange Dale? - surely not

Watching BGT on +1 now.

Gigondas · 14/04/2012 21:08

I know - I don't think it can be true. Watching 1977 top of the pops now ... It's required viewing here as I have aold vintage dh

topsyturner · 15/04/2012 09:26

Did we spend last night declaring our undying love for Dale "tangerine" Winton ???
never drinking again
Grin

amberlight · 15/04/2012 09:32
Grin

Brew all round for those who were on the wine last night, I think?
MAS, hurrah for holiday so far!

MaryAnnSingleton · 15/04/2012 13:24

We're on our way home - in Northants heading south. Done my bit of driving so can loll about eating car sweeties. A very sober weekend, just a couple of glasses of wine. (but lots of food)

Hi peeps. I tried to post yesterday but my phone was haaving none of it! Time for a Brew ?

safe journey, mas. Don't give up on the Wine, topsy! We all need a good Grin

KurriKurri · 15/04/2012 16:26

topsy - at least you have the excuse of being drunk - I was declaring love for the Dalemeister on one glass of cranberry and raspberry juice Blush Hope you aren't feeling too fragile today.

I know I'm several hours late, but I'll still have a Brew amber Grin

Are you home now MAS? - hope so, - you did well, be proud of yourself Smile

Waving to jane Smile

I've planted some seeds, cleaned all the outside window ledges (they are UPVC and go all green), and I drove to Sainsbo's and back to get the groceries - and managed to reverse into our rather tricky narrow driveway (although I had to go back and forwards a few times or I'd have been in the flower beds Grin).

I've decided to start Couch to 5k - I've downloaded the podcasts from the NHS website. (Can't quite decide when to go - I want to pick a time of day when the least possible number of people with see me!)

Hope everyone is having a good relaxing Sunday.

Hope everyone is OK this evening? We had a lovely time at the wedding yesterday, and, although I do say so myself Blush I did play quite nicely. . .

Had nice, if chilly day today, playing table tennis Hmm with DS. Its somewhat taxing on the old back, picking up the ball after every hit, but DS was determined to have a go, despite the fact that his aim is singularly lousy. . .

kurri good for you on the couch to 5K thing. I have no idea what it is, but sounds an excellent proposal and scarily energetic Smile

topsy how's the head?! Wink

Waves to MAS glad you're home safely.

gracie you got PICC fitting tomorrow? hope you can get some info about when the chemo will start. The anticipation and fear of the unknown is almost worse than the reality, I think. Sending you big hugs x

waves to jchoc gig and anyone else around!

Any sign of smee ?

thegreylady · 15/04/2012 21:02

Hi folks been on holiday/gp duties for last two weeks.back on antibx[10 days] for persistent cough and very stuffy nose.I am assuming that the latter [nose] means the former [cough] is nothing sinister-both have been around for about 10 weeks with a short break in the middle.I'll just have a read and catch up with you all :)

thegreylady · 15/04/2012 21:07

Is there a link to your blog mas?

KurriKurri · 15/04/2012 22:21

Ned - that's a picture of Dale before he had his eye work done, he looks much more surprised now Grin

Well done on playing at the wedding - it will have meant a lot to your friend to have you do that for her.

Couchto5k is a step by step way to start running, - from nothing (couch) to being able to run 5k in nine weeks - three runs a week. You start with a combo of walking and jogging and build up. And the podcasts have instructions and music on them for you to run to.

I wonder if Smee is home yet? - she's either terribly jet lagged, or she liked it so much in NY she's decided to stay a bit longer Grin

Hi greylady - sorry you've been poorly, hope the antiB's have started working now.

If you look back to MAS's post of 11th April, 18.08 she puts a link to her blog Smile

Good luck for tomorrow gracie, and anyone else who is having treatment of any sort Smile

LimeJellyforBrains · 15/04/2012 22:30

Greylady here's a link to MAS' blog.

Kurri you are doing absolutely brilliantly with the driving! Smile And I too was wondering what on earth was up with Dale's eyes - I was riveted! And the big clumpy eyelashes! Am also in awe of you starting C25K. Would love to try this but not sure my feet/joints would be up to it. Sad Happy to cheer you on though! x

Gracie - I too had private chemo so couldn't get the voucher for the wig, felt very unfair indeed and everyone I asked, both NHS and private, seemed as surprised as I was. However, I did use the Cold Cap, very successfully. My mum suffers from severe depression and was going through a very bad patch when i was dxd, so I decided not to tell her as far as possible. She has also always had a particular fear of cancer. Although my hair thinned a lot, it was quite even, no bald patches, and my mum never guessed anything was up (partly due to the introverted nature of depression no doubt: she didn't even query my lack of eyebrows and eyelashes). Just before I started chemo I did panic about the cold cap not working and impulsively bought an 'emergency wig' from eBay for £18 inc p&p! Grin It only had one outing: on DS2's head when he was being Charles II at school for 'Stuarts day'! Grin Shame really, it was much nicer than my real hair, especially as I couldn't dye it and barely dared to touch it or have it cut. I wasn't too bothered about losing my hair to be honest. If you want to ask anything else about private chemo or the cold cap, fire away! x

Just blubbed my way through the last part of 'Drownton Abbey' Sad Bloody hormones! We went to see 'The Hunger Games' during the hols and I sat there with tears running down my face through the start of that too...

Lovely 46% cocoa chocolate (not too milky, not too dark) for the trolley tonight, curtesy of Lidl Smile

Figgyroll · 16/04/2012 06:32

Morning all. Brew and toast on early today as it's back to school for me after a very lazy leisurely two weeks off. My "to do" list only got half the things crossed off. Never mind, they'll keep till the next half term. Grin

Yes, well done on the driving, KK. You're doing really well. I googled Couchto5K last night and have been very tempted to try it but, when I mentioned it to DH, he wondered if it was wise considering my aching joints and especially my feet. He's put me off now. Hmm

MAS, your blog is very interesting. You right so well. I have bookmarked it. Glad you're home safe and well.

Ned, the wedding sounds lovely. Glad you enjoyed it.

I must make an appointment to see one of our docs today. I had my ear hoovered out at the ENT clinic a couple of weeks ago and they confirmed no infection or perforation but I can't understand why it's still all wet and itchy. I think I need drops.

Wishing you all a lovely day.

MaryAnnSingleton · 16/04/2012 07:41

good morning ! am safely home and very pleased to be back (though we did have a nice time and MIL enjoyed going out/seeing family /having some company)
gracie good luck today and figgy - hope ear is ok too - thanks for nice words about my blog.
kk good for you doing the couch thing !
ned well done for playing at the wedding- how lovely
Welcome back smee - am sure you are back now ? hope it was fabulous.
Am off to dentist for check-up first thing,then must get started on some work. Ds has after school science revision class which he is sure to have forgotten about and will be disgruntled.

OP posts:
MaryAnnSingleton · 16/04/2012 07:44

oh yes,sorry,meant to say well done to kk for driving - had dh nagging at me on the way up north because of driving too fast/ not driving as he would- of course he is right (about the speed)- motorways are very easy to put your foot down on.

topsyturner · 16/04/2012 07:46

Morning All

Just a quickie .
Wishing Gracie good luck for today .

And my 2 horrors go back to school this morning , hooray Grin
(it's been a blardy long Easter holiday)

Gigondas · 16/04/2012 08:49

Weeps as another 10 days of holiday here for dd1 and accepts Brew. The holiday period about her views on dd2 over so have had a stroppy weekend with her.

gracie good luck today.

mas sounds like weekend was good but nice to be home.

nedGrin at dale photo and that is definitely old. Still it's not the worst example of "work" - I saw Carole vorder man and nearly dropped my tea . Also well done on wedding music and table tennis (I share your ds skills there).

Sorry to the poorly people - grey there is a particularly horrid bug that has done rounds here and took ages to shift which sounds similar to what you have .

Been having nightmares/feeling very down about ct scan next week. I assume this is normal (seen on here others worrying about this) and you get used to the peaks/troughs of all this.

Waves to everyone else - Figgy j kurri Ned and smee if lurking amberhow is your dh?)
