Crepe Oddity

[MrsSchadenfreude]

Sorry.

Heart warming news MI !

Glad you're ok MrsS I had a phase of sudden attacks of nausea and sickness for no obvious reason in my 20s and 30s. No cause was found other than an nervous tummy but I carry Maxalon with me to this day. Is that a possibility for you?

tilly co,op sounds as good as any. It's where I'd go if we weren't already sorted. We have a funeral expenses scheme which is part of our religious community membership. It's a weight off everyone mind.

molly commiserations. I have been waking at 4am the last few days with nightmares. Last nights was terrorists coming to our road and taking the children...they got DD. I forced myself to wake otherwise maybe MrsS with a big "S" on her T shirt, would have appeared with a Kalashnikov to rescue us...
Btw, I can do the Tues of that week but not the Wed for Fortnums brunch. Would that work? And for you, DQ and any other takers?

Going shortly with DH to local dept store to buy him a new coat. Result.

DP has taken a million books to the charity shop (with no apparent effect on our bookshelves). I offered to make a kheema (Indian mince) for tonight in veggie DD1's absence and must rouse self...

Hurrah for your and Molly's friend , MI regards new baby. Must be absolutely wonderful for them!

Sorry about general sleeplessness. Could be the big storm heading for the UK. Pressure build up and all that. Thankfully Mrs S is there , ready to swoop in. I have frequent dreams involving Crepeys. Recently ran into Rose at a bat mitzvah. She was across the room but I couldn't get to her as the place was packed!

Re funerals my dmum has specified the family grave ( her mothers family , not her fathers tellingly) but Dad is never dying apparently. No discussions can be raised in terms of researching his wishes.This drives dmum and dsis mad. Both insist that when he goes everything will be a complete mess.he has bits and pieces of property all over the place, not least the house in France which may be subject to French inheritance laws. You'd think he might have learned something after my brother died intestate.
Still Dh and I are all packaged up with a local company and wills sorted to the nth degree.

Have got up and had breakfast coffee etc. I am beach ready, but Dh has gone back to bed! And is doing the breathing thing, which can be heard from the balcony.
Meh

Lovely news, MI.

Another couple who are all will sorted funeral directions given. Mind you, I keep on adding to the songs I want played so often that DS reckons they'll have to have an interval for a smoke & a drink half way through

Just go off to the beach & leave DH to 'breeve' tout seul, Crem.

Congrats on baby friend MI!

Here cup of juice down PC has meant PC is off and drying (hopefully) and ds and friends are on the PS instead...

I don't recall my dreams so have no idea if MrsS comes to my rescue or not...

Paneer curry tonight with dhal.....

I think I've got a dental abcess. I could only post lunch into my gob in tiny bits while sharply inhaling. And my face is a bit swollen. And it bloody hurts. Not happy. Money back please. Only went to the dentist last week.

Greetings to all.

Oh WAF , nightmare. If you can, double dose on the PKs : paracetamol every 4hours alternated with ibuprofen every 4 hours. Hope dentist can see you tomorrow.

Mnnn curry......

Oh BD, Dh says prop keyboard up on short side and don't try it until completely dry. ( word of the Nerd)

Ouch, WAF. Ouch.

BD, MrsS is there, fixing everything for you.

MM, my funereal playlist is massive and raucous.

Owww WAF :( Follow Crem's sage advice if you can. Hope you can see the dentist v soon.

MI, what excellent news! Hope they can take their little girl home soon.

BTM, well done on getting everything under control. Time for a nap? :)

Oh, yes, Rose Tuesday 23 Feb will be great for Fortnums brunch. Can you make that, DQ? Who else?

Oh WAF

WAf sorry to hear about toothache

Cremo juice went into PC....... Ds driving me mad as nothing awe can do at the moment...

WAF, go to A+E if necessary. I had a dreadful painful dental abscess in France one Easter. The French doc gave me gigantic horse tranquilisers which were fab.

Hopefully not PR , BTM
They are very fond of that en France.

BD bolleaux.Sorry to hear that.

PR?

Per rectum. Ouch!

Per Rectum!

Much use of suppositories in France. Us Brits are very squeamish about it, but it can be great if some medicines have side effects on the stomach.

WAF, sorry to hear about this and hope soon better. There is an OOH dental service at Kings if you are in need. Take care.

Nooooo! They were PB (par bouche!)

Just watched that Camilla Batmanbonkers documentary on catch-up

Thanks all.... Dr Crem's para + ibuprofen is doing good work. Am swollen and now have tinitus on that side. I'll call dentist first thing.

BTM Batmanbonkers I enjoyed that doc muchly.

Oooh WAF you poor woman. I believe you can also call 111 for emergency dental treatment and they direct you to an out of hours Dentist. Yes, indeed re. the French preference for back stairs meds...

LOl Crem Was I wearing the Hello Rabbi dress?

DH under huge sufferance, is now the reluctant owner of two new coats and three new shirts and a tie all reduced in the sale from Moss Bros. How come men like him just don't get the joy of new clothing purchases. I'd be doing a jig....

Haven't seen the Batshitbonkers documentary - will find on catch up. I've been watching Deutschland 83 on a Sunday evening, but missed one a couple of weeks ago and now very confused.

Brufen UTB (up the bum) is the only way to take it to avoid wrecking your stomach. Ditto Diclofenac.

Rose - I used to have Maxolon/Metaclopromide and bloody marvellous stuff it was too, but a couple of years ago they changed the rules for prescribing it (used to get it over the counter in France) and now I think it can only be prescribed for the effects of chemo and radiotherapy. I throw up randomly at least once a month, and have done since whenever. I've had my gallbladder removed, which helped, but they are really not very interested now. I've been told it is "probably gastritis" - it is usually within an hour of eating and comes with quite a lot of pain. I thought I was going to die or give birth the other week. Thankfully it passed eventually, but it's no fun when it happens.

Much sympathy to WAF for her abscess and MrsS's stomach problems. I continued to have stomach upsets after my gall bladder removal, by the way. The first one was two days after the op so I went to A&E as instructed by the ward sister. One of the things they did was to take blood and it was discovered I had raised levels of something or other. Because of this, over the following months every time I had an episode I went to see the health centre phlebotomist. Best thing I did because they couldn't ignore me: they eventually sent me for an MRI scan where it was discovered I had a stone in the entry to the bile duct. It was removed and I haven't had a problem since. Worth thinking about, MrsS?

I have been to my friend's memorial service today: the church was packed and people had difficulty parking. It was a lovely service, quite upbeat. Her choir sang The River Tyne which was her favourite song and friends, colleagues and family spoke about her life. The quote which affected me most was something which had been sent to Sally's DH - we can be surrounded by the love of family and friends, but the mind can still be lonely.

I am a bit at the talk of funeral plans, although not for ageing parents. I occasionally make comments about having such and such sung at my funeral and think I want to be buried in a local churchyard so I can watch the sheep in the fields but that's as far as it goes. Almost off topic, but similar, I know someone who walked down the aisle after his wedding to the Match of the Day tune.

That quote has made me well up - so very, very true.

for you NUF

And I did take a still moment at lunchtime.
