Pen - keeping everything crossed for you for tomorrow, - we will all be thinking of you. Smee is right, knowing is better than anxiously waiting, and you will cope and deal with it in your own way, the professionals are there to help you with that side of things just as much as the physical stuff, and will support you too.

Gig - I do need to get into a bunfight, but I've been so busy I haven't had time Grin - just need someone to post 'AIBU to have given all my money to a psychic' and I'll be on the case Grin

Glad you enjoyed your lunch MAS Smile

loma - your surgeon is mad as fifty badgers mistaken over the operation recovery time Grin

Smee I can't access your profile either .
You hate me don't you ... ?

Gigondas · 19/12/2012 20:22

Ohh I just got a semi nasty personal message from someone I reported for spamming saying jealous so I am officially stepping into kurris shoes Grin.

Yes to Wine - for some reason( probably not unrelated to small people waking at night and others being on holiday ) I am done in.

Penis will be thinking of you tomorrow and you will cope - there is a Whole spectrum of dx types here but as you can see we are still living life despite the ups and downs of this bastard disease.

What is odd as well is that I feel absolutely fine, apart from the anxiety and panic, and have no symptoms apart from a very slight slight swelling that my GP could not see so feel it is all a bad dream and not real at all.

Thanks for the support this thread is wonderful.

KurriKurri · 19/12/2012 20:30

Shock at nasty PM Gig - some people are crazed loons strange.

Smee I can't see your profile either, are you sure you have made it public?

Lomaamina · 19/12/2012 20:39

Oh gigs I hope you re-report them. Shall we put together a possey to defend you against the nasty beast?

Gigondas · 19/12/2012 20:40

If it makes you feel better penis, I should have known that its not normal to have a swelling that ended up the size of a small football on your backside (in my defence I was pregnant so was told not much could be done til I popped). So I how daft did I feel Smile.

And if it is small then chances are will be early- woman at work was treated and has been clear 5 years.

Oh I agree kurri there are some right loons about. But I do enjoy the pre Xmas lunacy (not the sad ones about relationship) - the ones about Xmas parties (there seems to be a spate of dps confusing bedrooms and toilets) or the plethora of mil ones.

Lomaamina · 19/12/2012 20:42

P.s. I know that's not spelled right, but I have in my mind us all in cowboy gear saddling up to ride into the desert.

Hallucinating on paracetamol? Moi?

Gigondas · 19/12/2012 20:42

Can we dress up with sparkly cowgirl hats?

OP posts:
Lomaamina · 19/12/2012 20:43

What about the madly long SIL saga (ill behaved kids in restaurant)? Enthralling!

Gigondas · 19/12/2012 20:45

Oh I loved that - I also got quite into some of the longer term relationship posts which I am sure is not what they are there for.

gigandis Defoe.

Giving up Cross-posting with myself will be my New Years resolution by the way.

KurriKurri · 19/12/2012 20:45

Joins posse [loves a punch up emoticon] puts on cowboy hat and chaps (is that what they are called those sort of backless frontless trousers thingies?) anyway whatever they are called, I'm going for the cowboy in Village People look. Grin

Lomaamina · 19/12/2012 20:46

Along with learning how to cancel iPhone auto spelling option...

Gigondas · 19/12/2012 20:47

Maybe I should have a hard hat so I could be the builder (and yes it was reported).

OP posts:
Lomaamina · 19/12/2012 20:51

I always wondered what chaps are. Confused them in my mind with spurs. Could be painful

Right. I must stop and pay attention to poor DH who's only just finished the double load of chores.

Sleep well everyone!

Can I be the Policeman?? I rock the moustache look. Grin

Have fixed profile. Not at all sure what I did. Pics were to inspire Gig to harness DC for housework. My poor DS..

KurriKurri · 19/12/2012 23:06

Love the fact that you started him early on the Wine Smee Grin

Yes you should be the policeman [or was it the biker who had a huge porn star moustache, - or maybe they both did. Not that I'm suggesting you have one (I do obviously, and a beard as well)]

Hope everyone knows all the words to Macho Man.

I really must go to bed.

jchocchip · 20/12/2012 06:13

Morning all! My house is stuffed full of furniture from mils house. Dh did sell giveaway pine table and 4 chairs and wicker and two lloyd loom type chairs. Pity we didn't have space /time to advertise them... now have white comfy sofas in living room which is good, but dining room/hall full of other stuff beds white goods... aaargh. Good we are away for Christmas!
There was a prawn ring yesterday, but people weren't that keen. Mostly it was pizza and pakoras. And improperly defrosted puddings impossible to get out of plastic packaging without squashing...

Love the pictures smee have one of ds somewhere with broom at end of my grans 90th birthday 19 years ago. Ds is 20 Xmas Wink
Went to musicians centre last night to see massed ukeles had to sit through lots of singers of varying quality - you could have performed as village people there Xmas Grin

Agh what have I started! Thanks to you I now have the top hit of my childhood (gawd help me)* playing through my head!

  • The 70s was definitely the decade that good taste forgot.

Just returning to reality: I woke up to an email from my HoD asking me how I'm recuperating. Nice? No. It was a message at the top of an email forwarded on about something completely trivial and non- urgent that she wanted to bring to my attention. Grr and gah.

topsyturner · 20/12/2012 08:07

I do have a rather lovely photo of me wearing a (real) policemans hat .
My friends refer to me as PC Plum in it !
I shall put it up on our Facebook group , and then we'll see who gets to play the Cop in The Village People !
