Did you have a little ride on the stair lift Cynths ??

How is your friend getting on? - Will she be going home soon?

Dea Xxx

How old is 'Old'....your age? Im sure you can guide him as to how to post a new thread....and tell him that we will help him

Cyns they put the BIG buttons there especially for you dear :-P

Hello Dea......didn't get the chance because workman arrived to pain the outside rail so we had to scarper.


Hopefully she is going home with the right 'package' before Christmas.


Her husband's ashes are being buried on Saturday.....it will be quite an ordeal for her as she was unable to go to the funeral and was partly oblivious to the whole event to be honest.



Gins? :-P :-P

Ohhh - that will be SO difficult for her!!!

It is such a long time since he died - why is this hapening now ??

Is it really in her best interests to be going through this now, so long after the event - Is she 'ready' for it ?

Dea Xxx

Cynths,

I suppose you are not able to have an influence as to what happens as you are not 'family' ??

I know you will be there to help her through it ! - I think she will need you!

Take care Cynths - I will be thinking of you both on Saturday <3 <3 <3

Dea Xxx

Thanks Dea. I think it's been left until her sons thought she was ready to be there. One lives down south so things had to all tie in.


She's fine about it. She knows it won't necessarily be easy but I am sure she will cope. She's done all the arranging from her room in the care home......so she is obviously 'back on the ball' so to speak :-D

That's good to hear Cynths - I can't believe how much she has recovered !!!

Give her our love when you see her next -we are all astounded by her improvement !!!

Dea Xxx <3 <3

Hi all,

Thanks for the clear up about the corned beef or silverside as we call it...I was meaning the cut of beef boiled in the water and served with Cabbage..although both Ginny's and Deas's recipes both sound very nice. I like the sound of the all the tasty browny bits. Yum...

I didn't actually know you could get corned beef in a can, although I should not be suprised given you can get chicken in a can (which I can't bring myself to trying!)

The page numbers don't look any bigger to me just shaded...

Had a bad morning this mroning, was dropping daughter to child care and got a blood noose while i was driving..and of course I didn't have a single tissue, so a bit of a mess. Then I forgot said daughter's hat etc etc so into work late and I have a really bad headache :-(

Ginny it is absolutely gorgeous weather here today (2 days in a row) tomorrow it is forecast for rain, so the usual! :-)

Sorry to hear about your bloody nose Grace :-( Did it look like you had been attacked?

Now corn beef in a tin is nothing like beef at all

It is this dry pink stuff covered with white specks which is fat.

I have heard of Brisket which I thought you use for pot roast. but it does'nt look anything like the American Brisket in these food programs I have been watching.

Infact some of the american fast type food looks nice until they smother it in bbq sauce or some such muck

ja...x

corned beef in a tin is minced up beef


which I think is why some brands taste awful!

Ugh minced up beef? Nope definately not what I was thinking of...

We cut it up really thinly and have it hot with usually a white sauce.

I can't remember what cut it is though, how annoying!

Yep Jax it looked awful and my girl kept saying show me, and then oh you have to go the dr mummy! Maybe my blood pressure was up or something I felt really really awful before lunch, but my head is only a dull ache now. :-)

Still gorgeous sunny weather Ginny, everyone is in short sleeves! :-D

Breakfast.........

Home made Bubble & Squeak, eggs, veg sausages, tinned toms, fried mushrooms, fried bread (for Dea & Cyns)

Toast, English muffins, butter and jams

Fresh chopped friut

Tea, coffee and juice



Couldnt wait..........Im 'Stavros' apparently

;-)

ooooh


thanks, Gins

Saves me working!


There's bacon and turkey sausages in the store place for those who just can't do without meat



s

Ooh Gracie, you poor old thing....bloody nose, I bet that causes a mess in the car

Still, you are having nice weather, it must be coming up to your summer now?

Ohh - Thank you Ginns - an unexpected surprise to have you cook breakfast for us ;-) and very tasty too, though I do thank Sylvia for providing the bacon and sausages to add to it.

I will have double helpings of everything please to make up for missing out yesterday :-D

Thanks both,

Dea Xxx

Gracie - hope you have a better day tomorrow !

Dea Xxx

Went back to bed after breakfast as I had been up since the early hours

Now have to chase where my bras have gone....Fig Leaves mailed them out on 6th Oct to I emailed them yesterday to ask when I could expect them?

I should have had them they say....err no I havent, £90 worth of bras seem to have gone missing

So now I have a form to complete and have to prove Ive spoke to Royal Mail to check if they have them.....wont be ordering from them again in a hurry

Excuse me whilst I splutter coffee all over the keyboard! £90 worth of bras ???????????????????????????? :-S :-S :-S :-S


Good heaven's woman! Have you more money than sense or do you need summat the size of two skips???????????

I need a lie down! Not sure I can face fried bread after that announcement but thank you anyway.





Hi Gracie, sorry about your 'incident' - why not get it checked at the doc's? You've had a lot to put up with lately and may be a bit rundown. It's amazing how much mess a bleeding nose can make isn't it?



I thought everyone had heard about corned beef in a can! Didn't they use it on expeditions long, long ago? Jonesey would know I think. ;-)


I really don't mind having corned beef now and again. You can get it sliced thinly in supermarkets.


My OH also enjoys ox-tongue in a sandwich....not the luncheon type....the proper type. That should do Gins a power of good!!


I can't fathom out beef served with white sauce to be honest.


Going to go for a shower soon......with 90 quids worth of bras floating before my eyes............




:-S

Its not just one bra you numpty, there are at least 4, maybe 5 I cant remember. They were all on sale thats why I ordered a few

My bangers arent quite skips....but theres more than a handful :-D

TONGUE thats just gross and wrong on soooo many levels :-P :-P :-P :-P

Good job you weren't around in the war then..............pig's trotters, fried brains......all of which, I believe, were delicious but I am not in a hurry to try them.


Ox tongue is quite nice really but a bit salty.


Man has been eating meat since 'Adam was a lad'.

The farming system has been in place for nearly as long as that.

Our systems are geared up for meat eating.....our stomachs produce acid designed to cope with it.

We are omnivores and need both meat and veggies.

As with most things, it's a matter of being sensible and not over-indulging.





:-P :-P to you too!!! :-D
