crikey !

Worrying about it will probably make you worse though, and you've got a lot on your mind with your Mum moving and stuff....

oh kk ((((hugs))) it's most probably a whole combination of stuff on your mind and medications and whatnot.
sometimes how lovely -compliments really do lift the spirits- I always try to remember to say something if I notice someone is looking fab or has something new,or a new hair cut. I was told that I looked very well yesterday (as opposed to an old husk with cancer) but am sure they must mean i'm looking plump

Old husk? OLD HUSK?

I bet you do look well, you always look stylish in your photos. And it's only old people who say 'well' when they mean 'fat'

arf !

Whoops - I fell asleep!

Missed your post about complimentary school mum Sometimes, - you do look lovely, - I have seen photos

MAS - you are not an old husk (you are a young husk, - joking ) you do always looks stylish, and not remotely fat.

There is a hideous photo of me online somewhere, from a group outing I went on. I look a) gargantuan and b) deranged - but I don't feel I can complain and say 'take it down' because everyone else looks nice in it

You are both right about the memory thing, - I'm sure it is stuff on my mind, - I've got various things on the go at the moment, and Mum's house selling, and am worried about old lady dog of course, although she seems OK today and quite bouncy for a pensioner!

Anyway - maybe I just needed that sleep - I didn't sleep well last night because my wrist was sore, need to go back to GO and demand the injection, these pills aren't touching it.

Now I have to go and make a rice pudding and take a photo - for the mumsnet recipe book testing (you get entered into the draw to win a cook book which I know DD would like - its a GBBO one)

Back to GO???? I mean back to GP {shakes head in despair}

bah about wrist
rice pudding sounds yum - please send leftovers to the trolley

MAS - it is made with a can of condensed milk - I think it might be a bit too sweet even for me, but we shall see, will put some on the trolley. DH is going to have to take a photo of it when he gets home (so no doubt by the time i has been posed and correctly lit, it will be cold )

Evening all

Well, the Nedmobile is safely installed on the drive - it is beautiful and shiny. P*ssing down here, so will take some photos for you all tomorrow. . .

sometimes of course you look stunning - don't ever doubt it. Its definitely nice to be told though!

kurri sending you biggest hugs - you sound like you've got lots of different stresses in your head at the moment, no wonder you're feeling a bit discombobulated. You need another holiday to Dorset and have lunch with me

MAS how are you feeling today? Hope you're bearing up OK. Sore feet sounds a bit of a bugger - is it a temporary thing? Is there anything you can do for it? Chutneys sound yummy! Thinking of you lots and lots x x x

gracie glad rads going OK so far. Keep moisturising!

smee hope conference is going OK, if you can get wifi where you are. Enjoy good biscuits - it definitely one of the perks of any course/ conference!

justfab how are you feeling today, my love? Been thinking about you today and wondering how you are x x

Hope everyone is doing OK this evening - rain here - boo!

Sending everyone lots of love x x x x

Yay for sparkly new car ned. Can't wait to lust over see the photos.

Hugs to kurri. You have lots on your plate at the moment so you are bound to be a bit forgetful.

sometimes how lovely to have such a great compliment. I'm sure you look gorgeous and it was lovely that someone took the time to tell you.

Ironing finished but have another bundle ready for tomorrow. Feel stupid for getting annoyed about it but DD has been excluded from yet another birthday party. Poor wee soul. She is such a sweetie. Her birthday is at the end of October and I said to DH yesterday I'm going to invite her whole class as I don't like children to be left out - I'm now thinking sod it, I will let her choose .

Oh bless her gracie - it's a shame when that happens, is she upset? I think sometimes mum's say who is coming to a party based on their mum friendships rather than the child's friendships, so sometimes children who play with a child at school get left out because you aren't in that particular mum clique.
I would also be inclined to say sod it and let her choose who's coming to her party.

Dr.Ned - thank you for prescribing Eton Mess in the King's Arms - that sounds like my kind of medicine (see, I don't forget Puddings I Have Known )
Hooray for the Ned mobile, can't wait to see photos. - is little Ned excited?

As expected rice pudding was very sickly, - far too sweet for me, even DH found it too sweet and he would eat a bowl of sugar if he was allowed!

urk @ condensed milk - my teeth are squeaking at the thought ! I once made one which you baked for hours in the oven- it was totally lovely but I can't think where the recipe was from.
Hooray for shiny new ned mobile- so exciting !!
Feet seem less sore,probably because I'm on my week off- hope that SE doesn't come back next time.

oh and tyranny of party non-invitations - so agonising for the uninvited , poor dd gracie

kurri I don't think she knows bless her. It was one of the other mum's (DD's friend) asked me if we going. The thing is the birthday girl's mum sits with me every week at dancing but she is a funny fish. Think I am just feeling super sensitive at the moment.

Glad the feet are less sore mas. Keeping fingers crossed it was a one-off.

Oh people do odd things sometimes gracie - it's upsetting when someone does something we think could hurt our DC - brings out all the protective instincts. I think especially so when you know your little girl has had to cope with you being poorly too, so you are bound to feel extra sensitive on her behalf.

But I bet she'll have a great time at her birthday party at the end of the month, - is it at half term? (lovely if your birthday falls in a holiday - my DD's is a few days after Christmas, so she was always at home for it)

Glad the feet are a little bit better MAS.

Little Ned very excited about the new car - has named it Jayden the Red Power Ranger. . .

kurri here is your prescription from Dr Ned

MAS good to hear feet a bit better. Fingers crossed they stay better and don't get sore again x x

gracie poor DD. I should let her choose her mates - that's what we did for DS and it seemed to work well. We decided there was no point in inviting everyone, given that DS doesn't play with half of them! There were very few whole class parties over the course of last year, so we didn't feel that any kids were missing out. Hope you can plan something lovely for her - I am sure you will

Ooh I've gone a bit weak at the knees at the sight of 'bread and butter pudding' - I hope they keep that on the menu and the west country cheese platter

Tell little Ned that is a great name for the new car, much better than the stuff car manufacturers come up with

kurri

Evening All

Gracie I have long since abandoned trying to fathom the reasoning behind who gets invited to parties .
I just make sure that DD and I have something special planned for days like that !

Mas glad to hear you aren't doing too badly . Loved that article you linked toon the other place , a lot of that rang a bell with me .

Snogs to kk , Smee , Gigs , Sometimes and everybody , especially our newbies . And congratulations on the new Nedmobile !

Project DDs bedroom is reaching completion .
Might be able to get the carpet laid by the end of the week !

Been so tired recently . Actually felt healthier whilst having chemo than I do now .
Need a kick up the back side I think , and told to appreciate my new lease of life !

Rads girls , make sure you keep moisturising !
Mas hope you are enjoying your week off chemo .

Anyone got any tests / apts this week ?

I share your pain about being done in topsy as feeling done in - I am lurking but sometimes bit too tired to post.

ned about new car.

kurri that does sound very sweet pudding. Am sorry that you are worried about your state of mind but I think it's more due to what you have to contend with as I know that I could do same kind of thing when I have a lot on.

gracie poor dd- that sounds more like dozy mothers than kids. Which reminds me - why have I said yes to pushy mum who wants to come for coffee tomorrow. I am not over keen on her (think mentioned before but she works at same place as I do so there is an element of her fruitlessly trying to get in with dh who is senior in her area) and her dd a spoiled princess can be tricky so have been avoiding them. Thought this would be end of it as dd now at different school but oh no. It was a classic case of her asking to come round my mouth saying ok and my mind screaming no!

smee any chance of some conference biccies on fbs trolley?

Waves to everyone else

good luck with that gig - can you say that you are very tired and get rid of her quickly ?
Sorry to hear that you and topsy are feeling done in - horrible feeling.
Am hoping I can hold up as have much work ahead of me- am rather dreading next week with the restart of chemo (that's not very Mindful of me)
Will try to get started on the main job today.
Happy new car day ned !
And love to all those feeling anxious or having rads/treatment

good morning! had such a good day yesterday - did ironing, cleaned up a bit and cooked a roast dinner! astonishing stuff, then had full scale row with dd in which i shouted 'you can leave home whenever you want' damn, lost my cool completely.

dd was making blinis (from scratch including yeast) and smoked salmon with sour cream. TWO versions to compare using organic local and 'value' products for geography homework on food miles and had to document it all with photos. Did the assignment include burning down the kitchen? Did it include her starting it at 5.30 after drama and still completing it (uneaten but photographed) at 9.30? I think not AAAGGGHHH!

throwing blinis on the fbs trolley....

ooh and i hate parties, i am a great one for either having everyone or just 2 or 3 'best ' friends - it is too harsh otherwise. thank goodness we are pretty much through those years now.

and pushy mums gig - tell her you are ill???

OTM - gosh you were busy yesterday, well done - sit down girl and have a
Your DD's blinis sound so much nicer than my rice pudding (I have decided not to put any of that on the trolley lest it send anyone into some sort of sugar shock)

topsy and Gig - sorry you are both done in, - topsy you've been racing about doing your DD's room and overdoing it - I prescribe treats and iplayering for both of you.
Gig that woman sounds like the ideal candidate to have the cancer card played on her, fob her off. Pretty pushy to invite yourself over to coffee with someone who's just had chemo, - mad woman!

ned will be too busy to post today, as she will have thought of hundreds of little driving trips she must do in Jayden the red Power Ranger

MAS - try not to worry about next weeks chemo, - you sort of have to go with the flow a bit, - do what you can when you are feeling well, and on the days you feel lousy listen to your body and rest, - here's a to help you this morning

I have had a think about my state of mind, and decided that rather than forgetfulness it is absent mindedness, - I seem to be constantly doing several things at once, so I completely forget some of them - as I haven't really taken them in in the first place. If that makes sense - it made me feel better anyway even if it's nonsense!

I have a driving lesson at midday - rather nervous as I haven't been out for a couple of weeks, and am sure I won't be able to even start the car and she'll think I'm a total dud!

love to all for treatments today.
