Awake and up all night

I'm back home, with my imperially weighed goods.  In the queue I was eyeing up the cream buns, but gave myself a mental slap as there's plenty of goodies in the pantry, never mind adding to them.  It's good you're getting an acquired taste so soon, but is there a decent alternative to fresh cream?  It would be good, if there is.

Like yourself, I got to grips with the new coins fairly easy but I think that was down to spending money and sweets - I needed to be on the ball so I wouldn't get ripped off by an unscrupulous shopkeeper.

Do you know what Eddie was alluding to earlier?  I think it was his nose as I can't think of any other bodily appendages, being the innocent in the room.

It's clouding over here, so looking like the forecast could be right for once.  Oh, I am doolally btw but it helps to get me through the day.

Have a good one all, and keep smiling xxx

Hello so my granddaughter didn't have her biopsy... she just had more scans and they found more lumps ... but they are sending her information to other specialists now so we don't know what is happening

And Hi back to you.  I'm guessing you may know others here if you frequent the Prostate forum, but if not, they'll probably be around soon.  I'm usually on Head and Neck but often come here for a good chat; it's really good for that.

Hi again Mel.

Although you're still in the dark, at least you know things are now moving forward with you're granddaughter and, fingers crossed, the specialists will quickly find a treatment plan for her.  From your own experience, you'll be a good source of help and encouragement for her.

I'm so sorry this has happened to your family, but try to stay strong and support each other through it all.  We're always here if you need us too.

Sending you big hugs my lovely xxx

Just feeling sick tbh  thank you so so much for listening to me xx 

Im struggling finding my way around this app though xxxxx

Aw Mel, I'll listen any time you want.  We're all here to do that.  Unfortunately I'm not great with the other thing but Sarah, our Community Champion is, and hopefully she'll come and help you with anything app related.

Love Gill xxx

Gill, one thing I can never think of unless it’s imperial measures is sweeties! Remember the big jars in the shop and getting a quarter in a little paper bag? Teeth sticking with bonbons, and tongues ripped with pear drops! Happy days. 

I ate some high protein, no sugar, cereal today, and all I could taste was sugar-it was pretty vile but it was really expensive and there’s another two boxes of it so I’m going no need to keep trying with it. At least it fills me up whereas a vanilla slice probably wouldn’t…unless I had two of course. But those need to be distant memories along with fresh cream. All the naughty things will need to be gone! But we’ll need to keep Eddie, since he’s a gent…though I can’t imagine what he might be hinting at!

Hi Mel

I’m sorry to read you are struggling with the site, but I’ll be happy to help if I can. I am not sure what your story is or what’s happening-this chat can sometimes move quite quickly-but I notice you’ve not joined any groups yet apart from this general chat one and it’s not easy to see what’s been happening. 

I can see you’re waiting for more information about your granddaughter and I can’t imagine how stressful that must be for you and your family. I hope there is an explanation other than cancer for what’s going on. 

Let me know anything you’re struggling with in terms of getting round the forums and I’ll do my best to help. Meanwhile we are all here with any comfort and support we can give.

Sarah xx

Oohhhh thank you yes Sarah would be great  xxx

Hi Sarah, and thanks for getting in touch with Mel as she's having a pretty awful time, bless her.

I bought a quarter of spearmint chews, a big favourite from childhood - weighed out from the big jar and put in a paper bag.  Everything was perfect bar the texture, which wasn't as I remembered, but the experience was the same as they got stuck to my teeth!  Ah, pear drops, another favourite despite ripping your gob to shreds.  I was only asking my OH recently about sweets from the olden days, but I had to remind him of many.  I'm six years older but felt more like sixty with his puzzled expressions.

It's a shame about the cereals as even the standard ones are really expensive now, Kellogg's especially, so supermarket own brands have to do.  Luckily OH isn't a fusspot and wolfs them down.

Yes, we definitely need to keep Eddie, whatever he was implying, as we're naive and innocent.. and big liars too!

Thanks again lass xxx
