Plus I'm scared to go near gigs bed now, can we get some more hospital security for Hannibal.

Copthallresident · 27/03/2013 13:02

Plus I'm scared to go near gigs bed now, can we get some more hospital security for Hannibal, and I'm not totally sure about Damien either, I think I am going to have to frisk him Wink.

Copthallresident · 27/03/2013 13:03

Tsk. Mumsnet pretended to go down only to double cross post me..........

smee · 27/03/2013 13:42

Can't keep up. Is there room on Gig's bed? I bring hot cross buns, though no Welsh people. Can't compete with Topsy. Grin

topsyturner · 27/03/2013 14:19

DAMIEN LEWIS IS WELSH ???
Sorry for shouting , Damien Lewis is one of my many favourite men !
Seen him interviewed a few times , and I think there is nothing he can't do .
I luffs him muchly , and would fight you all to the death for him !

topsyturner · 27/03/2013 14:20

Maybe it's the orange hair ?
As you all know I am partial to a small nibble of an Orange Man ...

Gigondas · 27/03/2013 14:37

Bloody hell- I naff off for a few hours and you lot seem to want to recreate women in love

Copthallresident · 27/03/2013 14:58

Yes but Topsy I have the orange gene (see FB profile picture) Grin We gingers stick together..........

gigs Nah that Oliver Reed would wreck the furniture. I think we should indulge our lesbian side, and get Glenda Jackson involved instead? Now she will send the Jenkins tart packing, all of these cows are called Katherine Jenkins She sorted out Camden Council when they were bullying big Copt, I still sleep with her letters to me under my pillow "Dear Julie", she wrote Grin

amberlight · 27/03/2013 17:13

Ooo, you can keep Glenda Jackson!

How're you doing, Gigs?

Gigondas · 27/03/2013 17:35

Am ok thanks- scan done so off to specialist guy to check blood vessels. With any luck tho will get out tonight.

Which is good as feeling a bit drained with it all.

amberlight · 27/03/2013 17:45

I see you are a master (mistress) of understatement, Gig.

AshokanFarewell · 27/03/2013 18:05

Haha cop that does sound very awkward! I shall indulge in a little Facebook stalking later. I've already had a nosey through MAS's pictures, which are amazing, and now I'm trying to think of an excuse to commission something for myself.

I'm feeling rather positive now. I don't need a man to make me happy, although I know I'll be devastated when it actually happens. But I shall find someone else lovely one day hopefully :) otherwise I shall go to the sperm bank Wink

Gig glad the scan is over and fingers crossed they let you out soon! I'm sure you'll feel much better at home, hospitals are such miserable places.

KK the course sounds like fun! Great minds think alike, last night I ordered a book on painting flowers! I enjoy painting but I'm crap at drawing which really holds me back, this one has pictures to trace and paint Grin I know it's cheating but it's only for my own enjoyment, plus I'm hoping to go on an acrylics painting class in the summer at our local art shop. I've always wanted to but never had the confidence. Watercolours are even more fiddly so I'm very impressed!

gracie good luck to DD with the dancing.

Copthallresident · 27/03/2013 18:05

gigs Fingers crossed, have you only had that facetime with the little gigs?

graciesmall09 · 27/03/2013 19:47

ash I can vouch for the gorgeous work that mas produces. She painted a gorgeous picture for DH's 50th which we both love. Glad you are feeling a bit more positive.

kurri DD is dancing Wednesday morning ballet, Wednesday night lyrical group and Friday morning tap duet. Not expecting any prizes but she enjoys it and that is what matters.

gigs are you getting out this evening? Hope so.

Damian Lewis yum. Wouldn't mind Christian Bale either.

MaryAnnSingleton · 27/03/2013 19:47

hope you are out v soon gig - does this mean French France is off ?
ashokan how very kind you are Blush You don't need a man who isn't man enough to cope with the horrid things in life with you - but can quite see that parting is very hard.

Oops, no probiotics? My friend recommended them and I started up. Anyone know what happens?

Also, thrush is killing me. (My main push to start the probiotics, actually. That and heartburn.) Help! At this rate I may never sit down again.

The move is a go - court gave permission and we've booked flights. I'm running around like a headless chicken but it will all happen.

NedSchneebly · 27/03/2013 21:18

Blush been extremely absent - life rather stressful and busy at the moment, and got a bit behind with everything on here and that made me more stressed about posting. Anyway, creeping back, hoping to be allowed back on. . . .

oh bollocks and bollocks some more, lovely gig - so sorry to read your news. Hope they can give you some answers and get you home soon. Sending you massive hugs x x x

gracie I love the word cyst - its a great result for you! Sending you big hugs too x x x

ashokan stay thinking positive lovely.

topsy without wishing to make you Envy I applied stage makeup to Damian Lewis's beautiful face when he was at school (my dad worked at the school he went to) He is one of my fave men too. Did you see him in the vicar of dibley sketch on comic relief? Very luffly. . .

Welcome to newbies. Lots of great advice going on here - hang out with us x x

waves madly to smee, kurri, MAS Copt, Pen and everyone else lurking around here this evening x x x x

AshokanFarewell · 27/03/2013 21:23

Well, it's over. It was about as lovely as a break up could be. We sat and talked and he held me while I cried and we talked about all the lovely things. It wasn't my illness he says, just that it's placed more of a strain on our relationship than either of us can deal with. I understand that and I do sort of feel the same. We are so young and we moved in together then three months later I was diagnosed so it all happened so quickly. I just can't really believe it's over. We are still going to be friends so that's something :) he's not a cunt really, he's so lovely and sweet and kind. He just couldn't handle it all and I don't blame him.

Sorry to ramble on!

sparkle sorry to scare you, it really depends on the kind of chemo you're on, it may not be a problem at all but definitely worth checking with your doctor or nurse before taking any more. It's because it's live bacteria and your immune system may be compromised so even the good bacteria can go a bit crazy! :) that's what my oncologist said. Good news about the move though, I'm sure you'll feel a lot better when you're with your family.

AshokanFarewell · 27/03/2013 21:30

Welcome back ned :)

PenPerson · 27/03/2013 21:31

Oh ash sorry to hear that but glad it was as good as it could be. You are very young and will find your prince after kissing a few frogs on the way. Just enjoy the frogs on the way.

I am watching obem. Never a good idea.

topsyturner · 27/03/2013 21:46

Ned !!!!

Ash gentle squeezes .
No matter how much you agree it was time for the break up , it's still gonna hurt .
Give yourself time to grieve and be kind to yourself .

topsyturner · 27/03/2013 21:47

Ooh Sparkle how exciting .
You do realise you can still post on this board where ever in the world you are , so don't go disappearing on us !

topsyturner · 27/03/2013 21:48

I have recorded OBEM for watching tomorrow when everyone is out .
I have reliably been informed that tonight's episode is a real weepy ...

PenPerson · 27/03/2013 21:50

Yes it is not an easy one to watch. My dd was rushed off to nicu too so this type of thing always has me in bits. Brings it all back.

ned we must do our lunch after the holidays !

amberlight · 27/03/2013 22:14

Took probiotics all the way thru chemo. Worked fine. Do check, yes.
