Thanks LL I'm increasingly moving towards GF here as it happens. Not that my need is anywhere near as serious as yours but I do think it issue and have friends who suffer badly...

Big hugs xx

rest in peace sadpooch xx

hope Mr Sad has a safe trip home too

((n(Snowy)))) Thanks Plane has just landed. Been watching it on flightradar going round in circles presumably because it is an hour early

I'm still sending masses of virtual hugs Sad. xxx

Here, I have finished that thing I've been doing my best to avoid. It feels great. I should've done it sooner.

Just back from a fab fireworks display but I'm in shock - one house we passed had a Christmas tree up.

They were in, and I had to be restrained from knocking on their door to tell them to take it down immediately because it's far, far too early.

I might go back tomorrow and post a note through their letterbox...

Kidding.

Maybe.

Melony's BF's Mum has her tree up; she put it up at the start of November.
She's a lovely lass but i could cheerfully pick it up and whack her round the head with it!


((((((((((((((((((SadP))))))))))))))))))) - so hard to lose a dog

hello

I feel the same about premature Christmas

Afternoon Grumpies
Just to let you know the poster in our other gathering place isn't aimed at the Grumpies but my Sister-in-Law and Mother-in-Law grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr woken up during the night worrying about it lol
Hope all grumpies are well, well better than the weather its horrible here.
love and hugs

aw Laura xx

Hadn't seen it so not sure what it was LL but wouldn't have taken offence, I never do unless people actually name me

So... Monday was manic. Looking forward to going into the office tomorrow for a rest

Exactly handy.

Having said that, I've been hitting the shops in downtown Warsaw and kind of enjoying the pretty Christmas lights and stuff, so I'm obviously some kind of hypocrite.

That aside, I'm knackered now and off to have a nice long bath with a glass of wine to make sure I really relax. Sad got me hooked on this lovely pink plonk they sell in our local shop so I thought I'd have that and a rose bath bomb. And a face pack. Girly or wot?

Families, eh, Laura?
Who'd have 'em?

((((((hugs))))))

Have a fab time, batty, you deserve it!

Drs and Nurses been today want to put up the pain meds and give me some sleeping tablets but I refused them and told them I will continue with the pain meds as they are at present until it gets too much thanks for the hugs and vibes grumpies. Will see me again in a month.
Not much else to report so all good
Love and hugs

Oh LL, I wish I had a magic wand to make you better. Lots of cyber hugs (((LL)))

Laura, you are one of the bravest people I know.
Much love to you

GoW hugs all round! (((((((((((((((huggle))))))))))))))))

Sending vibes LL and thinking of you xx

(((((laura))))

Thank you KJ and Ladies for all the healing vibes they are very much appreciated
Sad can you give me your Banana Cake recipe and I will convert it to Gluten free, my friend in Michigan eat Banana Cake with either Chocolate Spread or Peanut Butter not sure I'm that keen.
Still haven't started the C word shopping cba not interested no youngest in the family so not the same any more.
Love and hugs grumpies far and wide mia and lurkers.

Here you go -

3-4 med bananas, mushed
1 med egg
100g sugar
100g baking marg/butter
Vanilla (a few drops)
1tsp bicarb soda dissolved in 3 tbsp milk
200g flour

Beat sugar and fat together; when creamy add egg, then throw on the flour and the rest of the ingredients and mix.

All into a greased/lined loaf tin, then into the oven 160degrees fan electric or equivalent, for 1 hour.

I vary the quantities and some are more successful than others – have also made with yoghurt instead of fat which was ok. Think you can also make without fat if you add more banana and another egg - so if you're off dairy it's still doable. Have fun!

Thank you Sad, they haven't said about dairy yet but going on the Coeliac site that will be the next step oh the joy cause I love cheese, just cross each bridge as I get there

evening all

That cake is ace.

My week is flying by! And I got asked out on a date. He was really nice too, but, sadly, I'm going out with a friend tonight. And I'm crazy about Batman.

Better than cake for lifting the mood See lovely on the outside as well as the inside Batman a lucky fellow

hello darlings

So I keep telling him.
