Welcome back pigeons, holiday sounds interesting glad you are back in one piece!
Gigs you'll have to let us know what Jamie's new book is like, is it make 3 courses in 5 minutes or anything ??
Really for what it's worth I would have made the same decision as you, at least you know the plan now and can get your head around it

Going out for dinner later, won't take me long to get ready as I don't have to do my hair Hmm

Hope Kitkat is recovering with a nice cuppa soon

Gigondas · 30/08/2013 17:22

I like fact my wig always looked good. I am beyond rubbish at doing hair ns it's worse now as have weird nerve damage so only sweat down one side. So I have one sleek side and one mad Pubic Afro side in the heat.

It's full of good tips on using leftovers and bargain dinners but has a lot if new stuff in. Very good if you like his version did curries, Italian stuff etc.

It's all I can do now to lever myself off sofa so can't see this evening being more than Wine and master chef.

malteserzz · 30/08/2013 18:58

Sounds a good book gigs. Your hair always looks nice on photos Smile
Ready to go out dh picking friends up, feel but like a transvestite think its because I've got fishnet tights on with my wig Grin glass of rose for Dutch courage

kitkat1967 · 30/08/2013 20:26

Lymph nodes all looked OK so not removed.
Have boots on that tighten and loosen - will have them all night!!

kitkat1967 · 30/08/2013 20:29

And it seems morphine makes me sick so no Brew for me just lots of anti-emetic drugs.

Gigondas · 30/08/2013 20:29

That's good you are back and yay for no nodes. The pumping boots are hot tho. Hope you get some rest-ga can make you bit insomniac so have books etc to hand.

topsyturner · 30/08/2013 21:34

Malt is a transvestite ???
(Eyes empty bottle of wine suspiciously ...)

Kitkat all went smoothly then ?
Fab . When are they letting you out?

Pub night at HNDs again .
Spicey chicken wings , blue cheese dip and carrot sticks , Greek meatballs .
Oh and a bottle of wine .
Thank goodness I get a lie in tomorrow ... Grin

amberlight · 30/08/2013 21:39

Kitkat, hurrah!!

I may be a bit tiddly after wine and cough linctus.

thegreylady · 30/08/2013 21:46

Always creep in here when appt looming :)
Mammo on 9th Oct followed by appt with surgeon immediately after.It will be 7 years since dx and the waiting never gets easier.
Will try to catch up with everyone.

BetsyBoop · 30/08/2013 21:51

yeah for kitkat :) the pumpy boots get a bit annoying after a while. Hope the anti-e's settle the morphine icky (I'm the same, no surprise there ;) ) - then hopefully you snooze, morphine-induced, right through the night...zzzzzz

welcome back pigeons we missed you :)

hello to everyone else, off to bed shortly as knackered
Still not a whiff of nausea here - hurrah :)

Gigondas · 30/08/2013 23:03

Hugs for grey -will sit on the box for you.

Topsy-wine? You ?

Amber -hope Wine helping your cold.

malteserzz · 30/08/2013 23:52

I didn't get pumpy boots !
Night all
Glad you're ok Kitkat

MaryAnnSingleton · 31/08/2013 00:05

Hooray for kitkat and her pumpy boots!
Am glad you are feeling a bit more settled picture and have a decision- sounds a sensible choice and small dent is tolerable.
welcome home pigeons ! Am envious of you seeing the Kahlo house but it does sound a very scary place.
Am really tired and think may have overdone the swimming- wine this evening made me feel a bit woozy.
greylady - am holding your hand xxx

kitkat1967 · 31/08/2013 05:42

Morning - the third lot of anti-sickness meds knocked me out and I have just woken from a fab sleep - unheard of for me in hospital. Hope everyone else is equally refreshed.

foofooyeah · 31/08/2013 07:25

I have never heard of pumpy boots!!

pigeons you made me enthralled with your tales of Mexico city - but it does sound like a scary place. Awful about the kidnappings.

Morning kitkat - how long will you be in hospital for ?

Betsy - wishing you a nausea free day.

Gigs the half afro sounds like a style statement to me .... Im sure you rock the look.

Just watching an omnibus of ice age movies with youngest son

Gigondas · 31/08/2013 07:31

Sometimes you don't get pumpy boots, just the attractive surgical stockings. Kitkat yay on no sickness.

How old is ds foofoo? Sadly big gig has rediscovered numberjacks. -there has to be a particular place in hell for the inventor of that programme. Mini already onto gangnam Wink-there is a fb video.

What's everyone up to today?

Gigondas · 31/08/2013 07:32

Betsy hope you had a good night

kitkat1967 · 31/08/2013 08:05

Consultant coming in later - may go home this evening but more likely tomorrow. Drain not doing a lot which is good apparently.
Pumpy boots off now as I have been out of bed but stockings on until I go home I think.

malteserzz · 31/08/2013 08:10

Kitkat glad you slept well, never heard of the pumpy boots I just had the stockings

Had a great night, nachos, steak and lots of wine ! Dh up and ready for his vasectomy consultation while I'm staying in bed Smile kids will be back from grandmas later then were all going to pick the new car up this afternoon

Need to pack for ds too as he's going to pgl on Monday with the school, will be very quiet till Friday !

trice · 31/08/2013 08:46

Morning all.
Kitkat, well done on getting through the op with minimal probs. Yay to clear nodes and good night's sleep. Hope you are home soon.

Malt, poor Dh on vasectomy. Big had one last year and has had painful complications and nerve damage ever since (he had a bad surgeon).

Graylady, it doesn't go away in your head does it? Hopefully it is long gone in your body.

MaryAnnSingleton · 31/08/2013 09:30

good luck to Mr Malt
Glad you slept so well kitkat and hope you get home soon.
Today I am doing 2 roughs for new pictures I think and I daresay a trip to Waitrose.

amberlight · 31/08/2013 10:22

Morning, lovely people.

When DH had his vasectomy, the surgeon invited me to watch. No, I don't know why. It was very interesting, but an odd request.
He was fine afterwards, luckily. Not sure I was.

Graylady, aye - mine's in October and I can already sense me starting to fret about it.

malteserzz · 31/08/2013 10:34

Gosh amber not sure I'd want to watch ! Hope you are feeling better now ?
He's had his balls felt and now has to wait 6 to 8 weeks for the op. Wont tell him about complications trice I keep telling him he has it easy when we have to have smear tests and give birth !

GoodbyeRubyTuesday · 31/08/2013 10:53

Moooorning all

Eek at amber watching the snip, sounds traumatic!

Glad Mr Malt got on okay at his consultation, have fun collecting your new car Grin

gigs loved mini gangnam video, very cute! I can see how that could be less cute and more annoying early in the morning though! Grin

kitkat glad the op went well. I was very disappointed as my pimpy boots were removed in recovery when I was barely conscious so I didn't get to enjoy them! :( good they're off though, another step towards home :)

MAS sounds like a busy day, have fun.

I can see why sleep deprivation is used for torture. I'm waking for the loo every 40-60 mins during most of the night, just as I've dropped off to sleep again. Although just when I think I'm actually going to go mad I get a couple of hours sleep. It's just so tiring. Hopefully it's just a period side effect so will be gone soon! Confused

pigeons sounds like we are very lucky indeed to have you back! I'm glad you got to see what you wanted but sounds very scary. Welcome home :)

I'm seeing a friend later which will be nice, going to relax in front of some telly first :) have a good day y'all x

MaryAnnSingleton · 31/08/2013 11:54

Eeew -at watching amber ! Still, am sure not as horrible as having a smear or indeed as uncomfortable has giving birth.
Feeling very queasy today, but am sure it'll pass.
