Good morning all,

@sashh please can I have a thick slice of lemon drizzle cake and a black coffee.
I will get Fernando to slide over a bottle of spiced rum to add to a hot chocolate later.

sashh · 23/02/2024 02:55

@ScottBakula No problem.

Sorry to hear that @ScottBakula
Wrong of them to be misleading in the advert 🤬

Lemon drizzle please, my favourite

Tilllly · 24/02/2024 02:35

I've asked Florence to make pancakes and crepes - mainly because I don't know the difference!

I woke in a panic from a horrible nightmare
One of those that the events are innocuous but randomly carry sinister meanings. Utterly petrified that I left a dress in a hotel wardrobe and had to go back for it

lovinglaughingliving · 24/02/2024 02:40

Hi everyone 👋
I went into work yesterday and was there for 3hrs!
They don't want me to go, basically.
I've got to meet them again next week.
I have accepted the new job too so hopefully checks etc are in process

Tilllly · 24/02/2024 02:44

They DON'T want you to go?

Am glad you've accepted the new job 🙂 I'm sure it's the right move

What is next weeks meeting for?

apparently not.
I have said that I don't want to go either, but I seem to have little choice given the way they have treated me, that I CANNOT work back in that team for the sake of my mental health. So they either need to find me a different role or... I have to go.
She said she didn't think I would have to work my notice or pay my relocation back but she will confirm next week.

Tilllly · 24/02/2024 03:07

Well that sounds good news

MinnieMountain · 24/02/2024 05:12

Morning all

A crepe is just a thin pancake. Could I have a nice stodgy British pancake with sugar and lemon please?

ColinRobinsonsFart · 24/02/2024 05:38

Good morning! Pancake with sugar and lemon please and a nice cup of tea.

I have been awake since 2am. I have indigestion type pain but as I also have dodgy ticker I am trying not to think the worse ( I am not pale and clammy - just upper epigastric and back pain.)
I am already on meds for reflux but I have had a couple of rennies

I need to sleep as we are visiting my parents today - it's a bit of a drive but I need to see them. Mum has dementia and I know our visits are precious to her and dad.

My pillow is annoying me too - I can hear my bloody heartbeat and every movement I make in it!

sashh · 24/02/2024 05:41

Morning.

Pancakes! lovely. I'll have one with creamy mushrooms.

Tilllly · 24/02/2024 06:28

@ColinRobinsonsFart how're you feeling now?

ScottBakula · 24/02/2024 08:07

@lovinglaughingliving , that sounds like good news esp not having to repay the relocation fee.
It sounds like a fresh start at a new job would be good for you and your mental health.

@ColinRobinsonsFart , My DB has heart problems and gets trapped wind , he has scared himself and me a few times ! His usual cure is a teaspoon of bicarb in warm water .
I hope you are feeling better now and things go well with your vist.

@sashh how are you feeling now are you fully recovered?

@Tilllly I hate them kind of nightmares , I use to have nightmares quite often, I'd wake up panicking and really confused it could take me a good 15 minutes to calm down and relax but even then I'd still think about it during the day and it would unsettle me so the following night could be a bad one to.

Mmmm pancakes, lemon and a tiny bit of muscovado sugar please

sashh · 24/02/2024 08:21

@ScottBakula I'm certainly on the med, not quite 100% yet.

OP posts:
ScottBakula · 24/02/2024 08:36

Tha5s good to know , I am sure a few pancakes will help you on your road to recovery

sashh · 25/02/2024 02:09

Morning.

It's cold again so I'm going to make nasi goreng. Florence is making chocolate tarts and Fernando is hiding the booze from Leo.

The kittenbees are no longer hiding from Leo but they are ow dive bombing him.

OP posts:
Tilllly · 25/02/2024 21:33

I googled, that sounds lovely - tho no fried egg for me

Go kittenbees! That will keep him under control

I slept here last night at DSs wedding

I can't GET to sleep tonight
And I'm shattered!

TopOfTheCliff · 26/02/2024 00:25

Nor can I @Tilllly the wind is trying to lift my roof off. Let’s have some Bedtime tea and listen to the shipping forecast.

What's keeping you awake?
Tried a milky drink? In the hospice we have an amazing light projectors that play that very lulling music, each time I have sat with someone at night time on nights I am sure I will be asleep before them 😂 highly recommend!
I am awake because DS6 is in here with his feet against my back 🙄 flipping kids, lucky they're cute!
Have you had a good weekend? X

Tilllly · 26/02/2024 00:49

Not a fan of milk

I'd like one of those light and sound things you get for babies

Herbal tea!? 😂
It's a bit like that, sort of galaxy swirly patterns, very sleep inducing...
my bladder is driving me mad tonight, keep thinking I need a wee, so up and down like a yo yo!

Tilllly · 26/02/2024 01:00

Thanks for that @lovinglaughingliving
I need a wee now! 😂

sashh · 26/02/2024 02:00

Morning.

Wow it's busy here.

OK I'm going to make camomile tea, sometimes it helps with sleep, I'm not a fan of milk either, well it isn't a fan of me so a bit of soya milk with water to make cocoa.

For when people wake up I'll just do toast with cheese or jam or marmalade.

Florence is making hazelnut cake, it goes well with warm drinks and Fernando will add a wee dram to anyone's camomile tea.

@Tilllly Congratulations for your son. Please tell me Daisy was there.

Tilllly · 26/02/2024 04:31

Toast with cheese please ☺️

No ☹️
They had dog sitters but she's not had her jabs yet, so she stayed home with a friend
