The happy Place Café is still open - 2024

[sashh]

Morning.

I'm just starting this before the last one fills up.

Ummm @sashh if you give F&F the day off together there might be little fs in 9 months 😊

@ScottBakula No chance, I sent Leo with them

😂That would definitely stop any passion!

Hello all!
I'm back. No news from police yet.
I haven't slept at all well since the drama, not at all over night and just a few hours in the day but worst still neither has DS6 been settled. He's been screaming out at night, "NO! no! Don't hurt my mummy!!" He went to school today and told the teacher that he's very worried. My poor boy, honestly breaks my heart. I have spoken to the karate teacher who is going to have a chat to him and is also going to give me some 1:1 lessons!
We are going to move our boys room at the weekend into the bigger room (which is currently their toy room and our washing room!) because they have bunk beds but DS4 is so tall he keeps banging his head but their current room isn't big enough to have bunks into singles.So tomorrow I'm going to give the room a quick lick of paint. We rent here so it'll have to be white but I'm going to try some wall stickers too for each of them to give it a little bit of personality. DS4 wants Frozen (his favourite!) and DS6 wants Pokémon! I think I'll try Amazon! Might try and split the room up a bit, so I can tailor the decor. DS4 adores girly stuff and DS6 very much a boys boy! I don't know, not really very confident with DIY, so we'll see!

I am gearing up to start work next Tuesday, am excited but also scared, very scared. Maybe it's a once bitten, twice shy situation, but maybe I just need to accept that 6 months out of work and everything I've been through is a lot.

DH is having a hard time at work, so I'm worried for him.

No other news! Can we have a think about what to call the new thread? I hope we can honour @Tilllly in some way ❤️

I really want a doughy cinnamon bun, might have to make some!

Hope you're all okay 🥰🥰😘

Morning.

@lovinglaughingliving Florence is making cinnamon buns, Fernando is making cinnamon cocktails.

For something a bit more substantial I'm making omelettes to order, plain, with fillings, square rolled and soufflé.

Good morning @sashh!
What's keeping you burning the midnight oil?
X

Chronic insomnia and pain.

Morning all.
Hope the pain is slightly better today @sashh 🥰
It's veryyyy quiet around here. I've let the pets out, lit the fire, folded the blankets and put the fairy lights on in the book corner. Kettle is on for a brew and there is freshly baked lemon muffins out of the oven, help yourself.

Ooh, A lemon muffin sounds lovely - I will have a coffee too please
Off to flick through the books under the fairy lights

Morning.

I love it when someone opens up for me. Lemon muffins, yum.

@lovinglaughingliving it must be so hard for you and your DSs , can you get them to join in decorating their bedroom hopefully it will help distract them and their new room will be 'safe' for them .
I am sure that your new job will be great and you will knock it out of the park .

Are there any lemon muffins left or cinnamon rolls .

Good news today, they caught three of the little pricks! I am very pleased.
I went up to ITU today as I was in hospital doing something else but my boss wasn't there, not sure if I should try again or just leave it and turn up when I start...
my plan is tomorrow is to wipe down the walls, prep, cut in and then do the first coat before bed. Friday second coat. Then on Saturday, we can do all lifting and shifting and finishing touches. X

That's fantastic news, let's hope they chuck the book at the gits !
Do you know the layout of the hospital? I think if you have a bit of free time familiarising yourself with it would be useful, esp things like where the nearest/ quietest loos , staff room other department that you will need the most all are would be useful.
I am sure taking a couple of packs of biscuits and pens for the staff / locker room would go down well too.
I wouldn't worry to much about trying to meet up with your boss, if you bump into them great but if not you will see them soon enough.

I dint know if its your kind of thing but whenever I decorated, if I was wall papering I'd write alsorts of things on the walls before papering them

Things like the date , cost of wall paper, age of pets ( no dcs ) big news in my life (like new job) poem I like , draw round yours , dh dcs hands etc
If your not papering write it on a piece of paper and tape it very securely to the back of a wardrobe/ drawers / headboard .

It makes interesting reading in a few years time .
@SweetPeasOnEarth do you remember me doing all this during lockdown 😃.

@ScottBakula yes! I remember..we had quite a few laughs about. I live the idea. When I installed a toilet in my bathroom, I wrote a message in the cement..SURPRISE ! @lovinglaughingliving Im so glad you're starting on your DS room. You could write a little note under the light switches or behind the receptacle plates...I imagine your DS will have fun coming up with something to write.
I'd love a lemon muffin if there are some left over please. Lemon is my favourite.

Morning.

Well it is starting bright and warm so I've got the water feature out but also some heaters.

Today we are having a breakfast picnic, so bento style boxes with cherry tomatoes, ham rolls, soda bread, yoghurt, cheese and fruit.

Florence is making danish pastries to be brought out and Fernando is making mimosas.

@lovinglaughingliving I'm glad they have caught some of the pricks, I hoope they get them all.

@sashh thanks! Me too!
I've been up most of the night decorating boys new room, just main coats to apply now! So off for some zzz first! X

That sounds like s great breakfast @sashh can I have a box please .

I love the water features bur I'd better go for a wee before I settle down for breakfast. 😳

<Hands over breakfast boxes>

Thankyou @sashh.
Please can I put a request in for omelette in the morning, I really fancy one.

Morning.

@ScottBakula Omelette? I'll do a cheese soufflé one for you. I'll make them to order as people arrive.

Florence is making cheese twists and Fernando Lemon sour which is a Japanese drink made with shochu, fresh lemon juice, soda water.

Oooh a very posh omelette I am honored Thankyou @sashh .

Just checking back in with you all.
Cup of tea please 😘😘
I have done the boys bedroom and I'm so pleased, but bloody hell there's still stuff everywhere!! Will finish tomorrow. We lost a lot of time today (best laid plans and all!) car ran out of diesel and broke down on DH because he's incapable of listening when I say "take your car, there's no fuel in mine!" Then we took the boys bed apart and DH was very heavy handed so it split, we used Gorilla glue and tape to fix it!
Boys enjoyed a day at the beach with friends because it's been beautifully warm.
DS6 got his first purple karate tip today, very exciting! He works so hard at it, training four times a week now, he will be doing a demonstration for the king's representative very soon.
I am v v v nervous about starting work on Tuesday.
We are off to cinema to see Star Wars tomorrow!
@ScottBakula @sashh how are you two?! X
