A party will help! Red wine & cheesecake (no gelatine?) will help
A LOT!! Grin

Ok. Wearing black in an aberration to me, it doesn't suit me, I look like I belong in a coffin. But I'm wearing a black dress and leggings. Mustard coloured linen drapy cardi thing, and heels. Friend will look fab cos she always does.
Have had an interesting day as we have emptied all our cupboard containing crap files etc and have moved it all round and thrown out loads of stuff. It looks like a battle zone.
Don't care, am now off to theatre.

Did you all see who posted at 14:01:22???

Should we bring our party forward or is it too late for you all to change your arrangements?

Have been on YouTube; enjoyed listening to Elvis Presley's laughing version of "Are You Lonesome Tonight?" Cissie Houston (aunt, I think, of Whitney!) never faltered as a backing singer - she just kept on going! So funny! Don't know how to share!

Aaw, WBHV! - So sorry for all your troubles; things will get better for you all!

Am not ABSOLUTELY sure if Cafe has performed surgery!!!

Best wishes to you, Harriet! (Rushing back into the kitchen now to check on the party food!!!)

Went everywhere in Salty Town today to find some needles for the gramophone; doesn't really matter as I can play my Stan Ketz 78's using my fingernail!!!

AnAirOfHope · 25/04/2013 01:09

Is party still on for Friday?

Do we get two, one Friday and one next week with AF?

jynier · 25/04/2013 01:20

Hi, Air! - Am a little disappointed with AF; thought that she would have cancelled her weekend arrangements to join us! Just no telling with some people!!!

We can have a party tomorrow night ( in the hope that she will attend!) or stick to our Friday arrangement!

It's up to you guys!

Sunnywithshowers · 25/04/2013 01:40

Hi Stoic

Am off to bed (essay to write tomorrow) but wanted to offer massive (but gentle) hugs xxx Flowers

jynier · 25/04/2013 02:09

Hi, dearest SBS.

I am so sorry that you are going through this dreadful grief; unfortunately, it is natural when you have suffered such a huge loss!

Your mother will always be with you and your family; you know that already, as she loved you all so very much and you and your family treasure her memory!

Ignore the person who has upset you; her opinion is completely invalid!!!

I hate the grief and bereavement sites, which is why I am on here! Our posts may seem flippant but, I promise you, we do all help each other and share private messages when everything gets really tough!

I'll hold your hand, dear one! Sending you a huge hug and hoping that you can find some peace!

Snuggle up in bed, now, and try to get some sleep! xxx

BlueyDragon · 25/04/2013 02:26

Sheep and goats? This thread's gone all biblical...

Sorry for the absence, I've been sleeping. In a normal kind of fashion, if you call crashing out at 9 pm normal Smile. At least I got here in time for the party. I have a cracking " happy music" playlist that 3 of my friends and I put together when I was just diagnosed, all of which is bouncy happy rocky stuff - shall I bring that? Think Chumbawumba, we Are Young by fun, Parklife, Bon Jovi and, erm, the Ski Sunday theme tune. I can also bring my secret recipe chocolate mousse and eat it all .

cafe, that's amazing that you got to do surgery for real! That must feel properly scary and really brilliant all the same.

I love the sound of your wardrobe, kitty! Have you been to the Goodwood Revival? I am going this year for definite (couldn't go last year as I was only ten days post-op, stoopid cancer messing up yet another thing) in the lovely 50s tea dress I bought. Now I want brogues to go with it Smile.

MrsS, how's the kit watching going? Well done to minifootyShrek, what a star!

Hear the twinkling? No, jynier, not the dawn chorus yet Smile. That's me scattering sleep dust on the thread and particularly on all DCs with wonky sleep attitudes like DS.
