Sorry that was incredible self indulgent and irrelevant

Oh vinny, bless him. but your poor dad. are all i can offer and they are only virtual. life sucks sometimes. it truely does.

dont be silly ouch it wasnt self indulgent or irrelevant

tbh vinny i still have a bad case of head up own ass atm. must go get car and ds.
look after yourself and rest as much as you can.

Bella not that I could find just that the 6.5 was very big so opted for this one in the end

Crispy they were really easy, I just put potato (mashed), carrots (chopped), peas & grated cheese but you could pretty much put anything in then them! I cheated & used Just-Roll ready made puff pastry too

Ouch what a bloody PITA about the car

Oh Vinny I'm so sorry, you poor thing :( As Ouch said it's not awful of you to think that, it's caring & not wanting your nan to hurt anymore. I'm so sorry.

they gave her steriods and she perked up for a day then went back downhill, and they were making her restless so she was awake through the night (mum and dad have a baby alarm in their room so they can hear her) so they have stopped the steriods, she just has no quality of life anymore, her 2 favorites things (food and TV) she cant enjoy (she now has cataracs so cant see TV anymore) its just so bloody horrible for her

That is so sad Vinny, your poor Nan & you poor you/mum/dad for having to see her like this :(

norma car is fine hunny, the mechanic is amazing. would highly recommend him. i am struggling today big style. I am going to take the chemical induce route for sleep tonight. prescribed of course.

i might take the non prescribed route to sleep, wine or nytol?

i wish i cook bake like Norma, you food always looks yummy

sounds like a good plan vinny.

true norma's baking does make you very

Hello

Sleep deprived and brain of mush, no chance of catching up i'm afraid, but wanted to say hi

Vinny, I am so so sorry about your Nan it is awful seeing them like that isn't it

Norma, mine has 3 settings, but no keep warm function. Yours looks good.

Glad your car has been fixed Ouch.

Hi Crispy.

Where is that Hells??

Hi BoF

Oooh and hello Alice

Hello Shiney.

how did the doc trip go shiney?

vinny, so very sorry to hear about your nan. It's just awful watching loved ones go through this Take care of yourself

Ouch - glad car is fixed

Norma/Bella - can you recommend an easy recipe for me in a slow cooker. I have some chicken thighs defrosting, and quite fancy doing something different. I dont have much in the way of store cupboard items (using up what i have got before next shop) so the simpler the better

how about this jet?

If you don't have tarragon you could easily substitute it for another herb. Use normal onions instead of shallots.

Evening all,

I love baking/cooking, always have done. My Nana taught me from a very tiny age everything that I know, I've always used it as my de-stressing tactic so when you see photos of baking you know I'm stressed

Shiney, I'm ashamed to say I'm currenly taking the ostritch approach so am just slapping on a smile & powering through!

Glad you've got a mechanic Ouch, that's always a plus :)

That looks a good recipe Bella, yum, yum! The SC is all set up, good size too, going to make a spag bol in it on Friday!

Jet I'm not so good on DC recipes just yet but this book is supposed to be very good

ooh that looks good bella, thanks I am guessing that to do it in the slow cooker i just chuck everything in? My kind of cooking No tarragon, but i have orregano and thyme ( i am slowly building up on spices).

I do have some lentils and a tin of chick peas. Would they go in do you think? They have been in the cupboard for ages, and i cant think what to do with them!

Did your colleague turn up on time?

DC recipes Norma?

oh fucking hell, why do i get caught up in all the issues. Am i just listener or something I have ishoos. fuck that i am a big ishoo. my poor brain. and i sent a text to the accidental date guy. he wasnt supposed to get it. so now i guess i have another accidental date thing to sort out. fuck.

Oh and i have just realised i swear a lot when i am tired

LOL sorry I meant SC not DC, as in Slow Cooker

Oh bugger Ouch, cann you fake your own death to get ut of it or is that going to far?

ouch - sometimes your posts make me very - so i can only imagine how hectic/confusing your life must be! Hope you are ok

Norma - i too do the head in sand approach Hope you are feeling a little brighter though.
