Evening all - I've been out all day - and have come back to 7000 posts to catch up on Grin - am reading my way through them all, but sending love and hugs to all who need them.

I made the mistake of clicking on the Pan + goat link - that poor goat, - the whole thing reminds me of an appalling channel five documentary I once saw about people who 'love' animals Hmm

I have been to yoga, and art group, and voted and eaten a bar of jelly bean and popping candy dairy milk - so a v. productive day Grin

lots of love to Malteserz and trice - our new recruits, - hope you are both doing OK today (and Malt - I slept with the light on for a while after DX, -just do whatever you need to do to get through the early days and appointments xx)

topsyturner · 02/05/2013 20:53

What's all this voting malarkey going on over there today ?
We don't have normal elections over here .

We also seem to have missed out in all the sunshine you guys are getting !

KurriKurri · 02/05/2013 21:03

It is local council I think topsy - I only really go and vote to see if a very odd local man is standing as a candidate, and which party he will have convinced to adopt him this time (it is different every election, he has been a member of every major political party, - I think he stood for MP last time but the labour party threw him out because he was writing pervy e-mails to females in the party, he is a wanker of the first order)

We have had glorious sunshine here today

Chocolate Horlicks with a marshmallow in it anyone? (Have convinced myself I sleep better if I have this little treat Grin)

HerNextDoorAt21 · 02/05/2013 21:19

Very chatty indeed folks ..... I have had a busy day and this is the first time to read. I made 72 cupcakes today .... I use them as sweeteners for the breast care nurses, tissue viability nurses and my surgical team ... They've served me well so far..... Also delivered to DH's ward and the ward that imprisoned me for 15 days. Today's offerings are Bannoffee, ginger and lime and cappuccino .... topsy is chief taster

malt so sorry you got such news but seriously, amber knows her stuff and this is a great place to hang out and support each other

malteserzz · 02/05/2013 21:25

In a strange way I feel less alone now I've met you all on here and those cupcakes sound amazing ! I've really lost my appetite but have made myself eat a bit today. I didn't bother voting
Dh asleep ! I'm watching Peter Andre

Gigondas · 02/05/2013 21:27

Were you voting for him kurri?

Cakes sound amazing hnd.

You are fitting right in here maltessers-we have an ongoing joke about orange men. Does Peter still really really love his kids? Appetite will come back-it's shock/stress.

malteserzz · 02/05/2013 21:32

Pete really really loves his kids ! And how young is his gf !

topsyturner · 02/05/2013 21:41

HND will be feeding me banoffee cupcakes for my brekkie tomorrow .
She makes fab cupcakes , but banoffee ones are my One Weakness .... Grin

You want to cope with the elections we have over here .
We had an environment minister at one point who refused to acknowledge the existence of global warming , and an education minister who sent her kids to private school in another country !!!
That's before we discuss the politicians who publicly promote phsychiatric counselling to "cure" homosexuals ...

Sigh ...
Back to my wine Grin

topsyturner · 02/05/2013 21:48

Who's watching the masterchef final ?
I want Natalie to win .

Copthallresident · 02/05/2013 21:52

smee Friend who sees same Consultant just had a recurrence in a lymph node in her neck, her original lump twelveish years ago seemed inoffensive, so just had a lumpectomy and radiotherapy. It is still classed as a local recurrence rather than mets but she would have been recommended chemo not so long ago. However now our Consultant has passed her over to the team that specialise in hormone therapy. She just had her ovaries removed and with removal of the lump and radiotherapy that is it, apart obviously from constant monitoring, it. Strong family history, hoping she can hold it off until Science has answers.

Peter and Jordan nearly bought a friend's house. He was lovely if full of unfunny jokes that make people feel slightly awkward - as in how to laugh politely but not sound false. She...... less said.

topsyturner · 02/05/2013 21:58

Friend of mines dc go to the same school as La Andres , and she said he's lovely . Her lady ship is sadly not a nice woman !!!

Yippee , Natalie won !!!
(Whoops , spoilers !!!)

Copthallresident · 02/05/2013 22:05

HND Know someone in civil service, who had to explain to group who were claiming parity with Irish gaelic for something they christened "Scot's gaelic" that translating children with learning disabilities as "wee dafty bairns" was not acceptable.

topsyturner · 02/05/2013 22:11

Cop Ulster Scots is one of the official languages over here .
Again , sigh ...

amberlight · 02/05/2013 22:13

Hurrah re Natalie winning!!!

Malt, it's 'cos your mammogram squashed the boob and the lump. Squashed lump = wider, see.

Copt Grin and Blush re the "wee dafty bairns" !!!!

Evening all of the rest of you. Budge over a bit. I'm celebrating the company getting back into making a profit again after the year of hell we've just had.

smee · 02/05/2013 22:25

HND, you out-caked me!! Yr4 cake sale tomorrow. Mine are just sponge, but they do have psychedelic sprinkles.. Grin

malt, this place is seriously better than drugs - though obviously accept those too as they help. You'll get lots now. Flippant I know, but you'll get them free, as us cancer patients get an exemption card. Smile

Kurri, glad to see you're okay. Will leave you snogging Topsy...

No elections here either, Topsy but have just watched ep.1 of 'Politician's Husband'. David Tennant does dodgy football manager hair. V.good though. Might even watch ep.2 if Newsnight's dull.

Night all. Hope everyone sleeps. Especially all of you going through it atm. Who's Natalie? Confused

graciesmall09 · 02/05/2013 22:25

Sorry you find yourself her marteserzz the shock is horrendous but honestly it does get easier once you know what you are dealing with and your treatment plan is in place and as everyone has said if you do need chemo whilst it isn't pleasant it is doable. My lump was only 1.7 cm but was as amber would say 'very badly behaved'.

Good old norn iron topsy - have you seen the norn iron tshirts page on FB. Good for a chuckle.

hnd very impressed with the cupcakes. I thought you had bought them Blush.

amber yay for profit Wine

mas glad T's appointment went ok.

copt I just knew I shouldn't click on your link Hmm

Right off to bed. Waving to all.

KurriKurri · 02/05/2013 22:33

Those cupcakes sound good HND (72 Shock - I'm v.impressed),

Grin at 'wee dafty bairns' - that's probably what my late MIL would have called children with learning disabilities (either that or 'no right in the heed').

I missed masterchef (I was watching the Politician's Husband) - am glad Natalie won though.

malteserz - if you like a nice orange man, you'll be pleased to hear topsy is keeper of the national archive of all things Dale Winton related (she is quite a fan Grin)

Losing your appetite is definitely the shock, just try to eat a bit of something -even if its only a couple of crackers or something.
I found that fresh air helped, - I tried to go for a little walk each day, - I think it releases endorphines or something which help you feel calmer, and also it tires you out a bit which helps with the sleeping.

Gigs - I didn't vote for weird man - he wasn't on the list for a change (presumably he has run out of parties, although I don't think he's tried UKIP yet) His mother is also very strange - she lives in our village and once crossed the road to come up my driveway and tell me she thought my garden didn't look as nice now as it did under the previous house owners - nice!

I was going to watch question time, but I see it features the well known Nazi David Starkey and I don't think I could sit through his bile.

jchocchip · 02/05/2013 22:35

Nighty night. Sweet dreams. My eyes want to shut!

No elections here. Its our year off council elections.
Yay for accomodation, ash.

malteserzz · 02/05/2013 22:53

Night night all and thanks for being so welcoming to me. I used to love getting into bed and going to sleep but now it seems so scary. Tomorrow to get through then were away till Monday and my appointment is on Tuesday. Hope I dream about Peter Andre rather than dale winton !

HND those cupcakes are seriously fabulous - I thought you'd bought them too!

Hooray for Natalie - really wanted her to win.
Sleep well malt and lots of love to you all xxxx

Copthallresident · 03/05/2013 00:04

HND Agree with Mas assumed they were from some chic cupcake shop, well impressed

Copthallresident · 03/05/2013 00:09

KK I think you might have enjoyed Newsnight as Shirley Williams, Harriet Harman and Victoria Coren more than rose to the challenge of putting the nasty little man in his box. In fact my favourite moment was when he was on a rant and Shirley Williams put a patronising arm around him with an amused smile, as if to say "There now dear, calm down" .....

malteserzz · 03/05/2013 00:45

Can't sleep again think I will get some sleeping tablets tomorrow can't go through this every night have come downstairs so at least dh can sleep

Gigondas · 03/05/2013 02:58

Budge up malt- feels like my arm on fire tonight so I can't sleep either . Defo get some sleeping tabs -I am on phone to dr lovely tomorrow as cant be doing with disturbed nights sleep.

Where are you based malt? We are doing a meet up soon so would be lovely if you could join in(and everyone else).

Grin At weirdo man and his mum kurri. I thought you were the dale fan (as well as ken from Howard's way), topsy has the Tom jones thing.

The ni politics making me smile- there is some sort of vote on night flights at health row but that's it here.

Lightbulb moment here- I suspect getting broken nights sleep not helping me feeling so drained . They really should have a face palm emoticon Wink.

Expect I will be first/last up so here is something to go with your Brew orange tom

Amber- that's great news about profits.

malteserzz · 03/05/2013 03:25

Gig I'm in the midlands. Had a real panic moment earlier but have got through it again , Going to ring and ask for sleeping tablets tomorrow though hope you managed to get some sleep
