Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

Im behind the bar in the JM getting in some practice for the Benchland Nativity Panto On Ice, so lets have your orders please ladies and gents :slight_smile:

Oh darn. There I was t the JM enjoying a Baileys latte (with an extra shot of baileys - thank you Nannabarb) when the slep fairy I had caught earlier morphed into a twitchylegs fairy. Now Irish dancing is not really my forte but I need Katie40club to play Riverdance for me so I can tire these legs out.
loved the carols at the piano. Old ones are the best aren’t they? Jingle Hickman lines, In the bleak mid chemo and Hopping around the Christmas Tree were my favourites, which were yours?
Sorry if I ate most of the Twiglets, will replenish tomorrow.
hope your worry is soothed away Caroline. Can’t help as had menopause about 10 years ago, but do ring the helplines for a chat - free phones in the yew trees.
take care all

What a lovely night in the JM …if you dont mind me saying my carol practise went down quite well…do ya think? River dance hmm I need to practise that one Kaytee…I think we all enjoyed ‘Im dreaming of no achy joints at Christmas’ Iv’e never sang so much in years.Im a bit gutted the twiglets have gone though :frowning: Off to feed my face later in the land of NED as my sister in law is 50 today…25 of my family nutters all together.Will pop back later and check on you all:)
Happy Sunday everyone!!

Caroline you would be better starting a new thread eg “no periods since 2009 now spotting post surgery”. The wild woods is not read by everybody because it is a bit quirky for some. You would possibly get more replies.
I have heard of it happening from various patients when I was working. Having said that all worries are better checked out by your team or local doctor. They can arrange scans and blood tests to hopefully reassure you. You could ring the Helpline on monday morning Tel 0808 800 6000
Try not to worry odd things happen when we are stressed.

Dear all - this is Soddit, doing his impersonation of a lamb…
baby lamb could be Dammit… put piccy up of him in a mo…

Loving the photo of Soddit! He’s a natural!

Jane, He’s a BEAUTY. Mine only do impressions of Bad Dogs, which they have down to a fine art.
Caroline, I hope you’re doing a bit better today, call the BCN first thing tomorrow. See everyone in the JM later, now I’m off to see if I’ve burnt my apple pie.

Jane - Soddit is just PERFECT and he doesn’t need any extra ears!!! Put the piccy in Benchland so everyone can go AHHHH!!! I think he may steal the show.
And we need an extra Baby Lamb cos Mr Clunk is worried about draughts round his neck when he’s on an open air stage.

Hi Applestreet, happy birthday for next week, I am 52 next saturday. My friend calls me a Saggytits instead of saggitarious. She also has her birthday next Wednesday.

Ci will put pictures Up in bench land but Soddit is on my lap band I can’t move to computer… So glad he doesn’t need different ears. Wait till you see the lamb…

Buggerit is sulking now that he has found out he hasn’t been picked to play a lamb. I haven’t told him yet that he is going to be a goat!

Evening all, have opened a tab behind the JM, drinks on me. Have refilled the Twiglet bowl with super sized knobblies.
tent comes tomorrow so will be having a 2 finger salute flag raising ceremony, does anyone fancy a BBQ? Know its cold but could have a campfire.
tell Buggerit that a goat is a really important part and his dinners are likely to be bigger - always good
Quail, I bet they are Goodbaddogs really! are you tinkling the ivories tonight Kate, you were great last ninight

Supertrouper a goat is sooooooo important. I have been an old one for years. As for a beard I could lend hom some hairs if his isn’t long enough.
GI JANE he is the pin up of my cancer story… What a dog. The star of the Wild wood with all its fears and joys.
Revcat you put the Bard to shame.
Now bed time…yet again that elusive sleep fairy is avoiding me.

baby lamb picture (Dammit) on Benchland thread… Cute, but really, really naughty! SHould be entertaining! He empties handbags… eats chocolates… empties bins… takes coat off coat hangers and chews through the pockets in the hope of treats… digs up the garden… YOu wouldn’t believe a small thing could cause so much trouble…

mind your tents and knickers!

Jane

Hi everyone…Caroline…you sound a bit better…good…when you don’t feel tiptop…I find the weather doesn’t help…just take it one day at a time…you’ll get there…jane…beautiful is all I can say…don’t really do dogs in the real world but that is one little cutie…off down the pebble path to benchland to admire the winter wonderland and your lamb…just wait while I get my furry boots on. I hate being cold!!!..

Hallo girlies. I’m bringing the champers to the JM tonight. Just found out that finally after 3 surgeries got rid of all the nasty stuff. Hooray hooray hooray. We are out dancing and kicking the autumn leaves today girls.

Haven’t been out the tent much lately, too worried about the results and got scared of the dark, but I can see the light at the end of the tunnel again. So relieved to have finally kicked some cancer gremlins up the ass. Am hoping that the sleep fairies might find me tonight, its now been a couple of months since I’ve seen them, even with the magic pills from the nice doc they don’t seem to be finding my tent, alhtough maybe they come in the tent but I think they visit the dog instead, she has no problem sleeping and paw twithcing.

Dog would make a good dozing nativity donkey perhaps? See you all later for some serious partying. V xxx

well done VJ - what a relief finally! We’ll be there to party with you…

LARGE bubbly please barman!!!

Hooray, VJ!!! I’ll join you to toast this triumph, for sure! And I can already see the sleep fairies gathering around your tent!
And finding a nativity donkey–somebody better let the Dame know her worries are over!!!

I love this thread! I’m hovering on the edge of the wood and my knees are knocking. I keep wishing I could wake up and this had all been a nightmare.

Brilliant news VJ!!!
