Susie and Orbit's daily dribble

[ladyfelsham]

What brand do you have, Stubbsey?

 

[moonlights]

I thought you meant you chopped parsley into the cocoa bark!!

 

[stubbsey]

lol that would be really yukky chocy x

mine is a cuisinart its the silver one, i used to have a magimix but my husband lost all the attatchments which were in a special storage box thing he lost the whole box, so he had to buy me another one (he now thinks he has found them in the loft, daft i know) i prefer the cuisinart one as it has three size bowls and is really sturdy. This one has a storage box of tools but oh is banned from touching it lol

Morning Susie... I must do the bark thing - saw a recipe for white chocolate one with no cocoa but cream and maybe cream cheese - must try and find it.

Hope you have a great week - have you been interviewed yet? xx

 

[ladyfelsham]

Not yet babe - will be a few weeks yet, I think.

Bad start to the morning - slept great but felt a bit grumpy, showered, went to change, thought my totm had finished - and then flooded everywhere! Sorry if tmi.

Think it must be the big M starting - but so very annoying! Oh well, time to shake off the bad mood...

 

[Dietkitty]

Morning, poor you! As I'm having my second totm in 3 weeks I think I may be in the same boat. I thought they were supposed to diminish not increase!!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Not much fun is it?

Grumpiness has continued in the office - a very annoying woman has emailed to say she did a radio interview on Friday, despite being told a number of times that she is supposed to flick them to me to decide what to do with them first. Arrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!

I want to go home.

 

[Dietkitty]

Grumpiness abounds here too. Monday morning snore-a-thon call and oh joy there is going to be a presentation of something totally irrelevant to me woohoo!!

 

[Quak]

Afternoon Susie, I am sick of the hot flushes already.................although I seem to be having a small respite from the other......loving all your plans for the new abode, really hope it all goes through this time xxx

 

[stubbsey]

hi
i am being extra extra kind to you today to hopefully defuse the grumpy time bombs.... i started my periods at 9, i was having some gynae problems at one point and said to the nurse does that mean i will end early, she said no, it means you will go on a lot longer than others, if you start early u end late... oh JOY!!

 

[ladyfelsham]

Oh you poor love, that's awful.

I started at 11, then endo started and I got put on the pill when I was 13 - could have been the most popular girl in school...if I'd known what sex even was!

And thanks for being kind. I just got hugged by the Principal's assistant (in a non Jimmy Saville way) because I look miserable

 

[Ange7367]

Think it must be a grumpy Monday all round...I feel the same I'm putting down to hormones and things not going to plan

 

[stubbsey]

the weather is depressing too, i dont mind autumn and winter just dreary rainy days ughghghghgh

 

[coffeelover]

Hi Susie, I'm in menopause and think they get heavy and then just stop-mine did. I'm really sick of the hot flushes after suffering for 5 years may go on hrt. I hate the idea of it, but maybe just try. The only time I'm friends with my flushes is every morning before I get out of bed, makes it easier to get up in the cold weather lol.

 

[ladyfelsham]

LOL positive as ever, Val

I suppose I should be grateful that totm might be getting lighter. So, enough of this topic....except that I have the most awful craving for pasta! Lucky there's none in the house.

So it's courgette tomato bake for me - with lots of cheese!

 

[Supersmileyme]

Susie, I'm just starting reading your diary. You are thinking of buying a houseboat. I wonder how old I'll be when I get to the last page (885)?!!!!

how do u make your courgette tomato bake went a bit overboard with courgettes when shopping was delivered I don't normally eat them ....but thought I should give them a go

 

[ladyfelsham]

Morning all

Gosh if this is menopausal hormones, I may as well retire from work now! Imade some really stupid mistakes at work yesterday, just couldn't focus! But am feeling much happier today, and I've heard great things about black cohosh, so will give them a whirl.

Weight is also doing daft things - lost 5lbs overnight but didn't do anything special - in fact, OD'd on cheese and three krispbread last night. Weird.

Angie - I am the most basic of cooks so ended up spiralling two courgettes and steaming them, then chucking in a pan with some butter and M&S tomato and basil sauce, with a bit of leftover chicken thigh. Heated through, then sprinkled some cheese on top. Really nice - and quick.

Smiley - thanks for ploughing through my diary, I know there's a lot of it, the phrase "can talk under wet cement" springs to mind LOL. I was dead keen on a houseboat for a long time but just couldn't get a mooring in London for love nor money (well, my money, anyway). I'd still love to do it but it has become a retirement option now

 

[Supersmileyme]

Well it's great to have plans/dreams to work towards. That's what keeps us ploughing onwards. I'm enjoying your diary! Gosh, 5lbs overnight is great, eh?

 

[Quak]

Afternoon Susie, I am taking black cohosh and sage in a combo pill, been on them just over a week now but not noticed any difference so far, will report back if and when I do xx
