How long are you away for Trills?

TrillianAstra · 13/09/2009 21:48

I want to be young and to be bright-eyed and bushy-tailed (except actually sleek and shiny-haired) even if I have been up til 3 drinking.

Away for a week, back the next Tuesday evening.

Sazzles - just posted Korma and Tunisian stew recipe on t'other thread. Am dying to try out some of those recipes, especially falafels and dhansak.

Yoghurt - it is a small tub - one of those Yeo Valley organic little pots, not sure how much is in them, 100ml? Anyway they cost about 35p a tub iirc.

Right you lovely lot, I am going to say goodnight

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:01

TMW - had to check with my mum but think it is a c place. If correct tis other side i'm afraid. I regularly drive through the town with twisted spire and love a good coffee in the plague village they have a particuarly good naughty cake shop. Am sometimes your way as we go to see the trams.

DIB - yep i remember them but cut my teeth on the early verions prior to the High school level books and good bored quickly. Interestingly enough moved on to horror

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:02

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:10

ABW thankyou. i needed that today. Have one back.
But to be honest if i pass her i am going to have to catch her as she flys past me at a hundred miles per hour on her bike i'll put it on a postit and stick to her back, shall i?

Five - it was the chapel that was amazing -i never expected to see those colours. the postcards dont do it justice and you arent allowed take pictures.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 22:17

If you wave cake she may stop.
Actually she will stopjust because she islovely.
She has a fab smile. Do meet upif you can.
Hugsanytime xx I have noshame

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:29

No ABW, you're just a kinda huggy person. Its nice.

Personally i am a cold hearted bitch but that doesnt mean to say i cant have manners or consideration.

ABitWrong · 13/09/2009 22:37

Okay I confess.I ama hug addict.Deprived though.
I may get hugs early oct if I can go and visit Mits.Otherwise it may be months.Fucking lonely life this.

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:46

It must be hard abw. I cant imagine it. I dont like hugs generally. I find them unbearable. Ds is the same but just sometimes they are just what is needed.
Is there no one else with you? Sorry i dont know your story and i am not going to pry. But it must be very hard. Life can be very hard. I am just grateful that things for me are starting to work in the right direction (although you wouldnt know it today if you had been a fly on the wall).

Do you want to know what made a difference to me? This. Mnetting and in particular the support that is here. Like i said yesterday i have a lovely place on here i go hide when i need to. It helps. They understand me more then people on this thread could. Not because they wouldnt want to here, but unless you are in the know you cant understand. Its hard to explain but its a different kind of support becaues they have been through it/experienced the impact themselves. And that makes a difference. here i can have some fun and be.

DidEinsteinsMum · 13/09/2009 22:50

have a sugar induced hug Am afraid i am going to have to bail. I have to be up at six and am knacked. Hang in there hun. tiny fairy steps at a time. You'll get there. shoves a in ABW's dierection. Here hun, for you. it'll it help for now.

Evening ladies

Have had an 8 hour power cut today, my MN withdrawal symptoms were in overdrive! I think the freezer and fridge stuff is ok?! First when I called they said 5pm, then they said 8pm, then they said 10pm and it came back on about half an hour ago....apparently someone drove into a power line and brought it down.

Have scanned through, Bella am glad you took it easy today and hope that work tomorrow is good and that you REST when you get in

I'll be heading over to the recipe thread to check out the new stuff, the Tunisian dish sounds fab!

Dinner was gnochhi with pesto and a teeny weeny sprinkling of Parmesan, managed to get the cooker lit after working out that we could light the gas with a lighter
