thought i had better take a pic before it all goes. It is still snowing very finely but this is the extent of several hours 
Delly, you are amazing! ?
It’s very quiet here today.
I’m still snuggled on the sofa watching more Luther and feeling rubbish I wonder if it’s a virus? On top of everything else
Hope your all doing something nice, keeping warm and resting up especially you Helena xxxxx
Afternoon lovelies!
phew!! Busy busy day!! Today is is one day in the rugby calendar where everyone tries by get all their jobs done in the morning. So hubby and I went up town, did a bit of shopping, had a magnificent hot chocolate and a slab of carrot cake in a cafe, watched the world go by for an hour. It was a sea of red. Groups of lads off to the pub, families with dad and kids in Welsh tops and mam in a red scarf. A fantastic atmosphere all round.
Home then, all the washing done, quick tidy up and spent the last hour putting together a pasta bake that can go in later at half time. Knackered now!
The banter is hilarious - and it is just banter. We used to go to lots of six nations games in years gone by, but Cardiff is a long way away and the cost of tickets is ridiculous now. No matter what you read about in the paper, the fans all mix together and have a scream. Of course we want to win though!!!
So I will say no more but WALES!! WALES!!! WALES!!! ( going to be tough to win today though but don’t say I said that!!)
hope all you ladies are ok - Delly you’re back!!! I’m so glad you’re ok and sounds like you’ve had a lucky escape with that accident. However, it lead you to a good bunch of people so maybe it was all part of a bigger plan for you. Huge cwtch heading your way lovely.
My pic for the day…
Beth, I’m also a Wales supporter when it comes to rugby, much to my husband’s disgust. It’s also when I remember the words in Welsh of all the songs and the anthem. Apart from that I’m good on hymns in Welsh, after years of assemblies, it’s funny how you remember things, even when you haven’t a clue what it means!
Delly, we must be psychic, we were worried you’d had an accident! But it sounds like it had a silver lining if you met lots of interesting people. Anyway, it’s lovely to see you back on here.
Well, I think I’ve learnt that I can do one fairly strenuous day, but not two in a row. Yesterday by the evening I was cold and shaky, and couldn’t get warm despite blankets, a dog, a hefty couple of glasses of wine and a blazing fire. So today I’m taking it easy, there’s a M&S moussaka in the oven and the fire lit.
Fancy a glass of wine , does anyone of you have a drink , or aren’t we allowed ? ,
Hello Maggie Ann, welcome and I’d normally have a have a large rosé but I’ll stick with a cuppa for now 
lv Clair xx
What a game but booooooooooo
Cheers Maggie Anne - welcome to the nonsense and mine’s a G&T - wine doesn’t like me anymore ? Beth and Dizzy I hope we are still friends after the Rugby ? ? If I send cwitches?!?! A tough call for us Chiefs fans with Tom and Jack playing on opposite sides!
Welcome back Dellywelly. Glad you survived your accident and that lovely Brighton looked after you.
Dizzy it does seem to be one good day and then one bad. Clair do see your GP on Monday. Charys rightly kept telling me to go and when I finally followed her advice she was proved right!
Hope you all have peaceful evenings and keep warm xx
Of course we’re all still friends!!! Xxx
Maggie Anne, mines a pinot Grigio if it’s your round, thank you very much, hic…
Clair, I think you’re just using your poorlyness as an excuse to lay on the sofa and drool over Idris Elba. Seriously, I hope you get well soon so you can enjoy your half term.
I didn’t mind who won the rugby, Im English through and through but feel I’m spiritually part Welsh as I love Wales so much and always feel like I’m coming home when I get there.
Really enjoyed my walk today in the snow. It’s was belting down though didn’t settle. Coughing like an old … not sure what? but don’t feel unwell, it’s just more nuisance than anything, so feeling I’ve got off pretty lightly, that’s as long as it doesent get worse. Did a beef stir fry for dinner, and it was delicious, even if I do say so myself xx
That’s hilarious Rubycat :-D. I thought I was ditsy,
last year my son found my shampoo in the freezer!! Don’t ask! xx
Ann I’m really jealous now Lord of the rings is one of my favourites and I’d love to see where they filmed it. Xx
Lesley you sussed me out I’m on to series 3 now… Xx
Helena glad your taking it easy. I love the winter garden pic <3. Xxx
I have reread this tonight. Before my treatment I didn’t really understand where this was coming from. Now it sounds like it could have been written just for me. Worth a read if you have 10 minutes, it makes so much sense.

Helena I’m like you I’m not a sitter or relaxer I like to be doing stuff. Even when I’m reading or watching dvds I feel a bit guilty and think I should be doing something so I feel your pain
I’m more comfortable than I was but I think that’s because I’m taking regular painkillers and I have literally had no energy to do anything. I wish they’d hurry up with the scan date then I’d know what’s going on. I’m.getting.a bit fed up.of feeling yuck xx Xxx
Rubycat, just popped onto Feb rads and spoke to Bluelsyla. So, you washed your hair in shower gel? Could have been worse, you could have picked up hair remover instead.
Just watched The Lady in the van, Maggie Smith is so amazing, really enjoyed it. Now sipping Lemsip and off to bed. Night night and sweet dreams, hopefully of Idris eh Clair? Xx
Ruby, I washed my hair in the shower, then put a nice creamy conditioner on… Dove shower creme. Luckily it washed out fairly easily. So are you telling me it’s not the start of Alzheimer’s, that will be a relief!
Morning Lovely Fluffies
Just wanted to apologise for having worried you at my absence.
I’d only decided, the day before, to go away and didn’t get chance to post beforehand in preparing for it. Took my laptop with me to be able to communicate once down there, but couldn’t get myself connected up to the hotel Wi-Fi, don’t have internet on my phone, but maybe I should get that sorted as a back up, for any other such occassion, but I’ve never bothered because I don’t really need it.
so there’s me having a great time and my Forum “Family” are worried and concerned at my absence - that I’ve “gone into my cave again” as Lesley put it in her concerned email.
So sorry Girlies, it wont happen again. I’ll make sure I let you know next time, even if it’s just a quick post.
I’m off again today, don’t yet know when i’ll be back. I have two appointments on Thursday, but am going to rearrange them, as it’s a long way to go for 3 days, and come back again. I’m itching to go do that South West stretch and see/connect with folks I’ve not seen in a.while.
Janey - will be in your area towards the end of the week for the week-end, if you’re free and up for a meet up, even if it’s just a coffee or a meal ?? Let me know if you’re free and how to contact you.
Still haven’t caught up with what’s going on with you all, but am hoping you’re all okay and coping. If you’re not - am sending you a big hug. If you are - am also sending a big hug. Win Win, see!! Enjoy a peaceful or noisy Sunday.
Loadsa love

Afternoon all.
Feeling today like I have a cross between chronic PMT and feeling anxious. No idea why, nothing has happened really so guessing it must be the old hormones running riot again. Bloody tamoxifen.
I have a big week coming up with a really important compliance review in work on Tuesday so perhaps that’s bothering me. Will I remember what I need to when my knowledge is tested? Can’t remember the most basic of things some days ( those thingy’s again) so I’m not holding out much hope. ?
Hopefully my business partner won’t leave me flounder -it’ll be a joint interview - although who knows with him. I still feel like he’s punishing me for having cancer some days and leaving him in work on his own for a couple of months. Perhaps I should print out that article and make him read it then he might have a smidge of compassion for me.
God I’m down in the dumps today. Didn’t sleep well last night either so that’s not helping.
Need to get a grip Beth!!
??xx
Hello lovely tit willows. Oh Beth if you believe in floating hormones, we must have shared somehow! Most of the off spring have taken refuge in their rooms and OH is far being jobs in the garage while Mrs Stompy reigns supreme! I printed off your article Beth to take to work and meeting tomorrow. Sue I almost printed yours then realised it’s the same, although I think I prefer pink headings!
Delly I’m sorry but next weekend is the big move of my daughter via several relatives in the South East with spare furniture. We have booked a biggish van but I’m not sure it will all fit in! I’m trying not to think this is her properly moving out. I think having her in Cornwall felt close, whereas Kent seems a long way, even though it’s our roots!
Rubycat I Hope your hair is now gleaming. I have done similar! Xxx
Finding jobs - bloomin spell check!
