Morning, a lovely morning here this morning, but a cold wind too. Have done a bit of h*******k, cleaned the dining room, kitchen and bathroom. Going to do the inserts now for the cards I have made and need to post 2 of them today. Did all the inserts last night but have now realised, as I was about to put them in, that I did a couple as landscape which should have been portrait The dog hairdresser is coming today to sort Molly out I have left it longer this time as when she was due to be clipped the weather was really cold and snowy, thought I would wait a while but now she looks really fat Wish I could have my haircut and look slim again Hope your cold sore disappears soon Jan, I have never suffered from them but my best friend did.

Enjoy your day, whatever you are doing.

Good afternoon ladies. Bit chilly here- had to put a jacket on in the garden. Spent an hour tidying up and pruning. Can only manage an hour at a time as otherwise it affects my back amd I don't want to put it out again. Got to make a card for my son's girlfriend's birthday this afternoon.

Afternoon everyone. I've been at Tots this morning then a quick visit to the Doctors as I feel like I have another chest infection (according to the Dr I'm fine but if I can't breath I'm to go back and they will take another look at me )

Hope yo have a good day whatever you are doing

<-------------- Anyone wanna buy a dog..... ??? He is 5 years old, has dodgy legs and eyes, is brilliant with children................ and likes EATING OVEN GLOVES

Ooooooohhhh I could kick him in the proverbials but he aint got none no more
I just came home from the school run to find a very sheepish dog and a massacred pair of terracotta oven gloves on my kitchen floor! Little *****
Anyways, any offers gratefully received.... his names Rolo.... or something naughty that I can't put on here... at the moment...... !!!!!!

Afternoon ladies

Inserts I have the same problem, keep printing them out in the wrong orientation
Doctors, sometimes makes me wonder if they have actually qualified, and it does make you wonder that a vet does more years training than a human doctor
Got enough problems with the 2 I have Lou, one deaf & blind who has taken to screaming to get attention and the other who is rapidly turning into Victor Meldrew, ok he has never had a face that looked happy but he has the moods to go with his ugly mug now

ps forgot to say Di nipped in this morning for a quick cuppa and dropped off her new stamps for me to have a play with, so have been busy stamping this morning, whilst trying to make a loaf of bread that is actually edible

Hope your bread turned out ok Jan Molly now looks like a poodle again instead of a miniature black old english sheepdog I have achieved absolutely nothing today - but there's always tomorrow Got badminton tonight

Bread was a bit of a disaster Jacky, the outside cooked but the middle didnt, well not fully and when I went to turn it out of the pan the middle semi cooked bit flopped out onto the bread board and the crust; which tasted quite nice actually, remained firmly fixed in the pan, I managed with a few choice words to get it out and promptly put the middle back in it and put it in the oven but think it was beyond repair, so now have a lovely crust and no middle

Bet Molly looks cute now I want an apricot poodle but Mike said NO

but the crust is the best bit anyway Jan. That's why I gave up with my breadmaker, didnt like the hole in the middle. Ian has started making his bread with the mixer now, after he broke my breadmaker, and it turns out lovely

It didnt have holes Jacky it was one big hole an your right about the crust, Mum always said it makes your hair curly , must work I love crusts

I don't blooming believe it, all that hassle getting a recipe book for my stodge breadmaker and what happens, Mike sorts out a bag I put some bits in ages ago; like you do, and what is in it but the original recipe book

Sorry Jan but I'm having a little giggle here imagining the bread, then to add insult to injury Mike finding the cook book he he. Hope your cold sore is better soon

So you now have a pretty poodle again Jacky, are you going around asking him "Who's a pretty boy then? " he he. As for Rolo !!!! well tell him Tash would be disgusted with his naughty behaviour he he

I'm somewhat peed off tonight as after 4 hrs of tests in hosp including full bloods, ECG, 4 x-rays etc etc they decided they would not be doing the op this week as they forgot to book me in for 2 months physio ahead of the op to strengthen the inner quad muscles to ensure that my kneecap stays in place after the op. The waiting list for the physio is .... they have no idea. Then once all the physio is over and I pass the position test I then rejoin the waiting list for the knee op !!! It's a bit like someone handed me hope then when I was a few steps up the ladder of anticipation of a normal life ... they whipped the ladder away from me It seems my outer quad muscle is over developed and pulling the kneecap too much in that direction so I have to build up the inner quad muscle to pull it back. Its physio I would have to do after the op anyway as 2 weeks strapped up in a straight position would render the muscles weak so to bend the knee again I would have to do physio. To me it seems a bit silly building them up before knowing they are going to be useless afterwards anyways, but hey I'll dance to their tune as I'm prepared to try anything now, just wish they had told me this 4 months ago when I first saw him.

Moan over .... I'm going on holiday soon he he

Have a good evening guys

I would be a little more than peed off Jen, what a daft excuse as to why but then they are the doctors
I cant make bread Jen but I make a mean crust

Awwww Jen, big hugs for you bud xxx

That is so disappointing for you Jen. I would be furious if it was me.

Evening Ladies
Doctors or rather hospital bureaucacy need I say anything Jen

Jayne

So sorry to hear about your op being postponed, it sounds like you could really do it with now. It's stupid that they couldn't keep you on the list and review you when you get nearer the top again instead of adding you after the physio. Doctor's logic doesn't make any sense

Well done Mike on finding THE BOOK, keep practising Jan then I can collect fresh bread on the way to work

As I said to you my ex brought me a bread maker when I gave birth to my son as I would have loads of time being on maternity leave. Only made the 1 loaf and you could build a brick wall with it, never been out of the box since.

You'll be wanting fresh cream cakes next !!!
Yeah but Di at least your loaf was useful

Thanks ladies I do feel very down tonight but hey ho I'll get over it he he:) I'm sure the crust you made tasted lovely Jan Not so sure about a brick though Di sorry he he On second thoughts can I borrow it to throw at the doctor ? he he

Oh Jen, I would be absolutely furious - how could they forget to give you the physio first, and as you say, you have to have it afterwards Lou, I would love to give Rolo a home, just asked Martin and his reply "not on your life" - sorry I am sure he is out of the dog house now though - you can't stay mad at them for long So glad Mike found the book Jan

Well I did tell him I hadnt thrown it out
