Good old farticus!!!

Bout time you found a use for him!!! :8855:

Well he has some uses i suppose cooking needs to be one of them though lol x

Good grief woman! I go away for a few days and come back to over 130 posts to read! Phew that took some time to catch up.

Sounds as though you had a lovely time with Sarah (sorry - that sounds far too nice). I LOVE Greek food - all except baklava I'm afraid, far too sweet for me. But the rest looked yummy.

Suki really is a real cutie pie! Give her a hug from me.

And hey - what's a pound? You are maintaining now and can float 3 lbs either way you know! So nay panic lass!

Have a good day at work if you can, and slapped wrists from me for getting talked into working on your day off - AGAIN!

Just read through my contributions and ignore the tat. Will save you a lot of sorting through the chaff:8855:

Well!

That's just typical!

B*gger off to exotic lands, abandon your harem, and then only pop by to leave a cheeky message!

Just remember...you have to come home some time...

Well I'll bloody have to! - I'm fed up of the begging texts, whinging PM's and tearful emails saying how much I'm missed and that life is rubbish without me.

I suppose that was lie about crying yourself to sleep each night and reading holiday brochures just "to be near you hunnibunch"

Bleeding hypocrites

[skinnydawn]

Damn!

You promised you wouldn't say a word about that! I thought you were a gentleman!

Thank god you didn't mention the walking sock you kindly sent me, which I snuggle up to every night!

Now that WOULD be embarrassing...

Hi guys x

Why is it that just when you think it can't get any worse...it blooming well does! :flamingmad:

So today the hospital went on black alert ...basically meaning it's in a minus beds situation... so patients were having to stay on ambulances in the car park until other patients had been discharged home or to other units, care homes or hospitals. So we were hammered today :sigh:. No breaks, hardly any lunches, working overtime, bringing in outside resources...you name it, we did it! My crews were absolutely out of this world and worked so hard, and did a bl**dy good job of getting the hospital back on its feet. And when I left tonight the alert had been downgraded to red, still very serious but better than black! I was really proud of them!

I was so glad to get home this evening. After dinner Gwyn's son and dil called in with a beautiful bouquet of flowers as a belated present as they were on holiday when it was my birthday, so that was a lovely surprise.

They've just gone, Gwyn's gone to table tennis, Vicki's gone to St John, Andrews getting ready for work, Sukis fallen asleep on the standard lamb base...and I've just poured myself a gin and tonic! :7834: Cheers!!!

Actually I'm just watching The Great British Bake Off & toying with the idea of making some cakes to take into work to say thank you to the crews. It's just that I'm so damn tired I don't know if I've got the energy to do it :4633: I couldn't sleep last night and spent ages on here, finally nodding off about 3am, and then back up again at 6.30am so I suppose it's not surprising I'm tired. And it's been a really stressy day too I will try to be in bed earlier tonight, but still no guarantees I'll sleep :4633:

Fingers crossed the G&T does the trick!

What an awful day!

No cooking!, just watching, G & T or two and beddy buys xxx

 

[skinnydawn]

Thanks Lynne...I know you're right...just feel I should say thanks to them all for their hard work and real dedication xxx

Maybe I could call into Morrisons tomorrow and buy some cakes...

Much better for you, and they still get rewarded

They do lovely freshly baked muffins and cookies there, so I am sure, they will go down a treat x

Great idea. I'm sure they will appreciate that. So much better than slaving away tonight and then having to wait until they cool etc etc.

Hope tomorrow is better.

P.S. Have you been taking my advice yet ...........????

Lol sis...

I said to Gwyn earlier you're such a mine of information and brilliant advice, I don't know which advice you mean!!! Tell me!! Xx

That will be the "knicker-swap" then after our recent liaison a few weeks back. Sarah informed me instead of adding notches to posts, after a conquest an exchange of "garments is de rigeur - all the rage in Northants, apparently

Twas a nice thought Sarah...but they were FAR too big for me

I told her she'd bloody stretch them

anyway Dawnie, as a superwoman, I can't see why you can't bake some cakes for them lads. Spend less time on here! :8855::8855:

 

[skinnydawn]

Ok...

Any chance someone can give me a nudge in the morning as I overslept for the second time in 3 days today!

So it was a bit of a rush to get showered and dressed and into work on time, but I made it! And Andrew was working a night shift at Tesco last night so he bought me 20 custard / jam doughnuts to take in for the crews to say thanks for yesterday, and to bribe them to work just as hard again today!

It was yet another busy day, still loads of discharges to do as the hospital is still short of beds, but I did get a lunch break which I spent with Sarah Another hour putting the world to rights , talking about Steve :giggle:...you know, the usual!!! :8855:

After tea tonight I made a really yummy lentil and spinach dahl to take for the taster session at WI tomorrow night. The theme is warm dishes...hot pots, curries, chilli's etc...and this dahl has certainly got a kick to it! Hope they like it!
