I am sorry that you're not feeling so great, MrsS. I am sure that you don't need a candle for your DDad, just take a quiet moment to think about him. I am also sure that your cousin will understand.

I do know of two people who have had skin cancer and after treatment they have been fine so try not to worry too much. I am covered in moles and watch them like a hawk. You have done the right thing.

bigTillyMint · 13/03/2014 21:39

Oh MrsS, you are having a bad time of itSad

cremolafoam · 13/03/2014 21:54

Mrs S I have lighted yahrzeit here for you. Hope that's ok.

Thanks
SheherazadeSchadenfreude · 13/03/2014 22:17

Thinking of you, MrsS. I also think your cousin will understand if you don't call him until you feel up to it.

Blackduck · 14/03/2014 07:40

MrsS Hmm thinking of you.

motherinferior · 14/03/2014 08:16

How are you today, MrsS?

BTW despite Ladyjogging I am still roly-poly and grumpy.

beachyhead · 14/03/2014 08:36

Oh Mrs S, you have had a shedful to deal with recently, haven't you? Thoughts with you.

I was hit this morning with the double whammy of dress up for Book Day (yes, I know, a week late....don't ask!), for which I was prepared and Home Economics (please can I have the ingredients for pastry and a cooked filling for a Cornish Pasty?) for which I was not prepared Smile

So if I slightly smelled of fried leeks, onion and potato before 7am, please excuse me.

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 09:01

beachy, did your DC ask for the Cornish pasty stuff this morningShock I can't believe you a) had all the stuff and b) didn't go ballistic at being asked at the very last minute!

NUFC69 · 14/03/2014 09:03

OMG, Beachy, I don't know how you can write so calmly about it; why do they do it to us and why can't schools put out a list for the whole term?

MrsS, I hope today is more positive for you.

I have just admitted on MN that I still have a block eye liner in my drawers that I bought when I was in my early 20s. Angry Hoarder? Me?

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 09:06

NU, a 1970's block liner? It might have vintage value! I remember having one with a little brush that looked like a mini-toothbrush and you had to wet it to make it work!

beachyhead · 14/03/2014 09:12

To be fair, he told me at about 10pm last night, but I really cba to do anything about it at that stage..... and the scales ran out of batteries this morning, so he got a large splat of flour in one tub and a large slab of butter in the other! I almost gave him a left over chicken curry filling, but as he's an almost vegetarian and as the chicken looked pretty unappealing even to me, I started frying! DH looked very confused when he finally arrived in the chaotic kitchen just before seven!

Oh, and then I drove 8 miles through the solid fog to the station with dd1.... All happens here before 7.30am. Might go and have a lie down now!

NUFC69 · 14/03/2014 09:31

BTM, that's the one! But tell me, why can't I bring myself to throw it away? I suppose, though, I have all sorts of things like that - it must be me hanging on to my youth, like all the maxi dresses from the 70s which I have. Grin

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 10:04

Bloody Hell, Beachy, you deserve a medal!

NU, vintage 70's maxi dressesEnvy I am amazed your DC haven't pinched them! Are you still in the same house after all that time?

cremolafoam · 14/03/2014 10:09

Crikey Beachy you are a saint. Dd used to do this a lot when younger.
Stale bread and tins of peaches may have been involved.

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 10:10

CremoGrin What kind of pudding/cake was that?!

cremolafoam · 14/03/2014 10:18

Hmm bread and butter pudding and compote? Not a clueGrin
Set you a wood stain link BTM on t'other thread . < mysterious>

NUFC69 · 14/03/2014 10:19

BTM, we moved to the NE 31 years ago from the SE - these are dresses which I had pre-DC (including one from when I was 22). I am not sure, tbh, if DD even knows that I have them hanging in my wardrobe, but she is very much a trousers girl and probably wouldn't want to wear them anyway. She has in her wardrobe a 1978 t-shirt which my DH brought back from his first visit to the US, so hoarding obviously runs in the family. I do remember her saying when she was about 7 and we were about to get a new washing machine "Can I have the old one in my bedroom, mum?" Grin

My habit of hoarding does come in quite useful, though - the DGC are playing with toys which belonged to their parents (I am looking forward to DD moving to her new house when she will be given the wooden cradle and desk which she had when she was pre-school; oh, and also her wedding dress which is hanging in my wardrobe!). We had also kept the DC's cot, but when we got it out from the loft for DGS the fastenings had gone missing, so we ended up throwing it away. I was also amazed to find baby clothes up there recently - I had no idea that I had been harbouring thoughts of DC3!

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 10:33

Thanks Cremo!

NU, that was quite a move - couldn't have gone much further away!
We haven't got the space for hoarding, although DD tries!

Blackduck · 14/03/2014 10:41

MrsS that was meant to have been a :(

Beachy I would have murdered and he'd have gone with nothing! (bad mother alert)
Here it is a lovely day (started foggy but clearing off nicely now...) Dp has crawled in for the last teaching week of term and will doubtless collapse in a heap tonight.

motherinferior · 14/03/2014 12:42

Just had text from friend: 'cannot meet your deadline as have been diagnosed with a brain tumour'....

Fckadck.

herbaceous · 14/03/2014 12:44

What the blazes is going on with the world at the moment? Is it the end of days, or something? So much bad news.

bigTillyMint · 14/03/2014 13:13

A lovely colleague announced this morning, that her lovely mother (who we all know because she lives with them and makes the most fantastic Indian food) has got cancerSad

motherinferior · 14/03/2014 13:56

I'm really not very happy about this Angry.

herbaceous · 14/03/2014 14:01

Is it maybe one of those harmless brain tumours?
