***Tamoxifen 32***

[MaryAnnSingleton]

step this way dear ones...the trolley will be here in a sec...

Hope it's easy for them to record it for you, MAS. How lovely.

Kurri, we are in the heart of a very Turkish part of London, so Halloumi should be an easy find. I wanted it for a thing I make with sun blush tomatoes. We should do a recipe swap.

ooh yes - sun blush tomatoes recipe sounds nice - I'll look out my recipe and Pm you tomorrow.

I do love halloumi - so squeaky and yum !
Hoping T is up to going to school today -very unlike him to ever be off.
Am posting the wedding invitation I designed today and then tackling this Japanese newspaper job- the tax paperwork for it has been a headache and am not even sure if I've got it right !
How are you doing today pen ? and hnd?

Morning All

Welcome to Dizzy
Nothing to add bar , any questions you have , please do ask x

Jane please send my sympathies to DH . No matter the age , it's always sad when you lose someone .

Hope Ts feeling better today Mas

Dull , dark day here .
Hmmm , toasted cinnamon raisin bagels and coffee on tap , whilst wrapped up in my sofa blanky .
I also have aprox 476 hours of tv program's to catch up with on the sky box .
Bliss !

Morning all

Hope T is feeling better this morning MAS. - Japanese tax paperwork sounds mindblowing - rather you than me - I struggle with UK tax paperwork!

topsy I'll have a toasted bagel please and a coffee (just made myself a tea but forgot about it and left the tea bag in - now you could stand a spoon up in it!)

Enjoy your televisual feast - did you see Lewis last night/ - I started a thread in telly addicts about it - not enough Hathaway - and I won't spoil it if you haven't watched yet, but it's very sweet at the end

DH has gone off to work on his bike, - car out of action until at least Thursday, so I've had to cancel my meeting tonight.

Am having a slight panic - remember I said I'd asked a woman round for coffee this week? - I've forgotten her name, - or rather even worse, I think I've been calling her by the wrong name - for some reason I thought she was called Linda, now I've had a sort of moment when I've thought 'Oh God she's not called Linda, what the hell is her name' - can I have a whole conversation with her without using her name/calling her Linda? I'm getting so senile FFS.

at Kurri. I do that all the time. Fear not, as you can get through coffee without mentioning her name. When you get invited back, you can snoop round her house for envelopes or bills with her name on.

Boy at school. Yay! Though have my mobile next to me just in case. Hope your T got there too, MAS.

We haven't heard from Gig for a day or so. You okay, Gig?? Hope just busy. xx

on for all who would like. DH off on a trip for a week with students today, so I'll be home alone (well with DS) and deserve treats. Suggestions welcome.

I am fine-just trying to do ou stuff, getting ready for phased return to work (will be part time and a lot at home - meant to start next week ) and most seriously of all... There has been an outbreak of man flu here.

Sorry to hear your news jchoc, amber hugs if finding it tough and at name remembering.

Really ought to get up as got Pilates -need it as shoulder playing up (my paranoia now put to bed as it is clearly post op/lifting chubby mini gig who is also prone to throw herself onto it which doesn't help).

Mas just ask if want help on tax issue.

Plain chocolate digestives are my fave at moment smee if want some.

I once arranged to meet a young man for a date (many many moons ago) and couldn't remember his name .
So I got a friend to "bump" into us . She said "oh Topsy is so rude , my name is Rebecca , and you are ?"
Worked a treat

Did watch Lewis .
Totally agree not enough Hathaway .
And Robbie/Pathologist is soooooo sweet

Have sent recipe Smee.

glad DS is better today. I think plenty of chocolate is in order, and a nice bottle of something and a cake.

Morning Gig - oh dear, man flu! - (as Bruce Willis would say call the waah-waah-waambulance)

DD just had a phone call from the tax office - when she filled in her forms she accidentally put her date of birth in the bit for 'how long have you been working' - - the woman was concerned we had sent a baby out to work!

My Kindle arrives today

Morning Gigs

Oooh kk , I luffs my kindle .
Amazon do a top 100 free books to download .
Just sayin ...

Loving the wah wah wambulance

Morning topsy

My plans so far for the name problems are to mutter incomprehensibly if I need to say her name at any point, or to ring mutual acquaintance and say 'you know that woman I always call Linda?- what's her real name?'

Ooh top hundred free books

It's OK topsy - I am all tenaladied up

Morning ladies from a very wet and miserable Belfast.

Very sorry to hear about your DH nan Jchoc condolences from me.

Ladies with sick children, I hope they are both well and fighting fit soon.

atoz that is so frustrating, I am sure you are just wanting to get it all out of the way, did you get a bed today ?

gigs sounds like you are very bust with your studies and preparing to go back to work

Halloumi cheese ..... mmmmmmmmmm - I do greek cooking sometimes and I get mine from Tesco.

Getting fed up of waiting around for the District Nurse :( There are so manyof them and all coming at different times. A fiend was collecting me for an early lunch today and it looks like she will run out of time :(

I still have a lot of fluid escaping from my font and my back and its a little depressing - I can't wait to feel CLEAN ! I am seeing the surgeon again tomorrow so hope all is going to plan.

topsy was here for coffee earlier ... do you know she couldn't get up off the recliner - too funny !

Far too much bodily fluid slopping round on here today.

HND, that leaking wound stuff's horrid isn't it. Hope Nurse has arrived. Could you talk to them and ask if you can call each day to get a rough ETA? They must know their schedule when they set off.

at Topsy stranded on a recliner. Now why does that not surprise me?!

Gigs, glad you're okay. Hope Pilates sorts the shoulder.

Kurri, have sent you a recipe back. Has Kindle arrived? Haven't got one, but they do sound good.

Nowt to tell here. Working and getting nowhere. Not sure what to have for lunch even, such is the apathy. No call from the school though, so that's good as DS must be okay.

am delaying getting down to actually doing the Japanese job (it's not my usual type of thing to illustrate )as it makes me nervous - I always fret about each new job - think I've managed the tax thing but will consult gig if not.

T still not right so decided he'd stay home until it was time for Drama as he felt he neeeded to be there as they're rehearsing a GCSE thing - dropped him off on my way to post office,poor love. Have bought nice treats for him including Wagon Wheels - am trying to eat lots of chocolatey things before Lent.
Enjoy new kindle kk !
hnd I'd fret dreadfully about not feeling clean but am sure you are clean enough !
Glad junior smee is better.

Thank you Smee - recipe received, it looks yummy - I love chick peas.

Kindle should be coming home with DH - the company he won it from are sending a rep to present it t him today

Hi HND - hope the district nurse has been, and you were able to go out for lunch, and hope the fluid dries up asap - it's so horrid when you feel yucky all the time, - but the first bath or shower you can have when it is healing more will feel like the best ever

Am weeping at vision of topsy rocking backwards and forwards in the recliner and squeaking 'I'm stuck'

AtoZ - hope you have a bed today and are having your chemo x

MAS - poor T, hope he feels better soon.

What is the Japanese job, MAS? Sounds intriguing. I get what you mean over starting it though. New projects are always hard, even more so when out of the norm.

Kurri, will DH have to have cheesy pic taken of him plus Kindle?

It was EXACTLY like that kk !!!

Japanese job is illustrating a novella in weekly parts - am still putting off starting it...

Wasn't there an episode of terry and June where he got stuck in a chair?
