I need my large knickers for the lard around my rear end. This is becoming the time of year when anti horrormoans gives us a slight advantage over normal beings. We save on fuel costs and water bills. Perhaps some of our flushes are due to livers screaming for reprieve after a JM session......such is life.

Morning all, am camped out in Tamoxifen Towers. Im glad Hot Kate is now Warm Kate, at the moment I'm 'oh here's another one Ali'... Maybe we could harness the sudden surge of heat as a form of environmentally friendly energy (although as it's woman made it's probably taxable). My onc says I need 25 rads, so that's the run up to Christmas spoken for! Made my mincemeat at the weekend, have been using this recipe for years....it specifically states "half pint of brandy or rum"! Now I think this may be a mis-print but alcoholic mince pies are actually very nice, as soon as the mix has matured I'll leave some in the Christmas tent for your opinion....I'm hopeless at making pastry but who cares, after 3 mince pies even PB will sound like he's in tune....

Could somebody please set their dog on Pissedoffness, I can't shake it off this week?

[CanonJane]

Halloooooo!.... anybody there????? (big echo).... Wait, it's Wednesday, you're all meeting to raise a glass... raising my meusli.... Soddit, come BACK!

Jane & Soddit.... xx

Hi fellow woodies, I am sorry to say I have not been on line for a while and found out yesterday about SCACO and was left reeling. I was at my aunty's funeral and to say the day was pensive and emotional is an understatement. I raise my glass to SCACO the founder of this beautiful woodland and I wil raise a glass in person with 2 of my fellow woodlanders on Wednesday evening - we try and meet when we can, as that was quite some journey we took/are taking at the moment and girls like SCACO were an inspiration as it our fab Choccie. God bless SCACO's family and friends and love to them and to all of you xxx to SCACO xxxxx

[Kittyqueen]

Had bit of a headache but baked pot and beans cured it, first time I've been able to eat them since finishing chemo 5weeks ago...Bloomin' cold when first came out of tent this morning...warm all night though as cats snuggled up with me :)))) Thong was frozen to line...def need bloomers soon lol
Nice and sunny so will borrow positivethinking and go for a nice stroll xxxxxx

[applestreet]

Fab party...head Ok.....just the ticket for a grand end to a rubbish week...positivethinking still in residence for me...enjoy your weekend ladies....sun shining in Nwest for a change....who'd think I'd be happy doing boring things like hanging out laundry...just shows how your perception changes....flame throwers charged and in a pile outside my tent....mine's the one with the enormous granny knickers blowing in the breeze..no thongs...to bl***y cold....bye for now..maggie

[Quail]

Best night of partying I've had in a long time ladies, and since the sun is shining (long may she stay), I'm taking Positive Thinking and NED off for a bit of a daytrip. Gentle Hugs staying behind, I think there should be enough to just go round.

[applestreet]

Hi woodies
woeisme has left the building and positivethinking has paid me a visit.....
I've got room everywhere for lurkers but my tent might be more comfortable...Curry sounds brill....starving....free drinks...count me in...psycho cats.....got one of those myself....she thinks she's indiana jones.....careering off...coming back when she feels like it....my neighbours have been treated to a little bald middle aged lady with one boob and stiff tamoxifen legs trying to get an ageing moggy in the house for months!!!! Might be able to train her to hiss if Macca appears....gin and tamoxifen...too many hot flushes.....mind a few gins and I won't be in any state to feel them...Who's passing the choccies??? thank you v much...

[Ali_H]

In fact, got my first pack of tamoxifen today, might take it with the gin 😄

[Ali_H]

Friday equals fish n chips in my house, today I think it will be fish, chips n gin....

[Quail]

Well, we've all been drinking like fish for about a week now, so a curry might be a good thing to sop up some of the alcohol. Do you think it's time to pass around the choccies again?
Here's another for SCACO!

[CanonJane]

you have room in your KNICKERS for lurkers??!!!!! SCACO WOULD be impressed!!! LOL!
Now 5 psycho bengal cats.... could be interesting.... Soddit chases all cats... and Buggerit chases newts and cats... we could have fun!!! At least yours have good taste (ie react to Macca)...

It's Friday night.... and it's Happy Hour in the JM.... free drinks... and I feel like a curry..... (don't look like one I hope!) see you all in a mo....

Jane

[Kittyqueen]

Hello Woodies xxxxxx
I have been a lurker but only for a few weeks....absolutely love this thread and would like to help it to continue if that's ok with you all.
I bring with me 5 psycho bengal cats who harbour a passionate hatred for Macca , have to stop them spraying on him if sighted :))) So would like tent with a few litter trays if that's ok? Can also bring screeching cockatoo:)))
Will lift my glass of wine to SCACO tonight..again I didn't know you but you touched my heart xxxxxxx
KQ
xxxx

[applestreet]

I agree as well Cackles...two fingered flag flying half mast as well as granny bloomers on my tent....which incidentally has room for anyone else who is lurking in the shadows or just putting their first toes into the wood...come to the JM for a drink....sunlight by the lagoon..it's warm as well which it isn't in the Nwest...as per usual...been feeling c**p all week...two fingers to cancer...Maggie

[southpool]

I am a lurker coming out of the shadows to pay my respects to SCACO. I love the defiance, humour & imagination of the woods they are genius. So a two fingered salute with a glass of Verve in my hand.

Much respect.

S x

[CanonJane]

I agree....... J xx

[Cackles]

Perhaps in memory of the remarkable lady who gave us the inspiration to go through the wood with heads held high......(.but with hands clutched closely to the others doing the same trip ) is to continue this thread. That way those that are lurking might come out from the shadows and find comfort in the JM and Yurk.
The flag over the lagoon is at half mast but blowing proudly in the breeze. Thank you SCACO.
God Bless
Cackles

[Ceej]

Two finger salute flying high on my tent for SCACO - with much respect as a lurker x x

[Guest user]

Good night ...God Bless you SCACO..i didn't know you ..but i only wish i had.. Dear Lady..RIP xx
Dulcie xxxx

[supertrouper]

Hey Cackles, my old Yew Tree nest warming buddy! Good to see you back in the woods. Double rainbow over the trees this week. Life in in the land of NED is good but I still get drawn back to the comaradarie of the woods.

[Cackles]

Supertrouper it looks like great minds were thinking the same thing at roughly the same time!!!!! Sleep well my partner in the sleep deprived zone.
Bless you one and all

[Cackles]

SCACO I so hope you have found that Dappled Glade. As you once said Gin is just Gin and tomorrow I will raise my glass to you. To return tonight from the funeral of a 99yr old makes it hard to accept the cruelty of a shorter lifespan given to the leader of the Woodies. Bless you and your family who must be devastated.
Cackles

[supertrouper]

I am on the GIN now - "not an acronym for anything" just GIN

[ChoccieMuffin]

To SCACO, whose support and down-to-earth common sense during some really crappy times will never be forgotten.

Cheers, Karen.

Two-fingered salute flying defiantly.

[Guest user]

Another large glass of prosecco here, to SCACO and all her fellow woodies.
Tx

[janipi]

Me too!!! A large glass of prosecco as I recall SCACO recommending it. Bottoms up woodies xxx

[TSR]

Raising my glass to you as well Scaco. Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

[Peachez]

I just know you're still sprakling somewhere SCACO.... I salute you.
Love to all Woodies, gently now, Onwards and Upwards girls xxxxx

[supertrouper]

I asked for a large red before, but changed my order to a pint of strawberry fruli - I brought a barrel of that into the woods with me when I joined last year. Double rainbow on my facebook profile tonight for Aly and Karen. Will never forget them and know that they will be there for me when I need them. xxxx

[Alto]

Here's a large Pinot Grigio raised high to my fellow Woodie SCACO.

May you always be happy and loved in the sunlit glade. Keep the welcome warm and the wine chilled for us lovely lady - we'll meet again one day.

Jane xxx

[CanonJane]

SCACO - we raise our glasses to you (white wine in my case) - great party here tonight in your honour lovely lady. The Woods are legendary and will always be part of our journey and healing - for which we thank and honour you. We hope you are fully known, fully healed and fully loved now... and protected forever from NE !!!!!! xxx

[AnnieK68]

Here's to SCACO and all Woodies [large glass of red in hand] Xxx

[pina_c]

To SCACO.
I often visited your woods and found comfort and hope.
I came back today to raise a glass to you and all the woodies.
Cheers girls.
RIP SCACO, you will be greatly missed. xxx

[Guest user]

Heres to you SCACO......and heres to the rest of us.....onwards and upwards into the light
