Lovely morning chit-chat thread December 2024

Hi Stella, I have just been catching up on the posts here and in my opinion your dad sounds very selfish. Maybe he has always been that way and your mum has run after him, so he is probably a bit jealous her attention (quite rightly) is focused on you and not him for a change.   I am sure in the coming years he will live to regret what he said. It reminds me of the Scrooge Story at Christmas and I’m afraid if he doesn’t change his attitude soon, he will be a very old lonely man.

As for you, you have done nothing wrong. Just as Ulls & Eddie have said no one would choose this diagnosis, and there is nothing you can do about it. I am so pleased your mum and Craig are doing the right thing by standing by you and they will never regret that.

We had Salmn en Croute for our Christmas Meal and my husband would like a traditional Steak Pie on New Years Day, so that is that settled! What does everyone else have?

Morning Annette,  I had 2 dinners on Christmas  day, poached Halibut and  pheasant stew, they were both fab, and managed to wangle a few portions of each to take home and freeze, sadly I couldn't mange pudding .

love Eddie xx 

Moring Everyone

What a dreary morning, and that is not me, its the weather.

I have normally had my shower by now and breakfast, not this morning, had a lay in, thats was my treat to my self.

Had company yesterday, and quiet a few phone calls, so i know today is going to be a quiet day.

Well xmas has been and gone as such, now the new year coming up, where does the time go to.

Enjoy your day. 

Morning Ellie, Lay in here too, grey and foggy out, no thank you, just dinner with daughter today and your not kidding, the year has whizzed past, it must be all that waiting we do lol, how are you doing Ellie, I have 5 days free of appointments fab.

Good morning 

I managed to sleep quite well and stomach cramps are better too. I am looking at cooking something new for New Year’s Eve. 
Has anyone had roasted pork in milk before? Craig likes roasted pork but never had this way. Cabbage with chilli and fennel, hassleback potatoes on the side. 
we will try to make chocolate and almond cake for pudding. 

Hope everyone have a relaxing day x

I love pork, though never had done in milk, always a first time.

I am at my daughters for New Year Day, i always go there, thing my kid. pass  me from one to the other, i am not complaining.

Hi at least we are heading towards spring, lovely thought.

I am  not to bad, I do struggle with eyes, waiting for one of my kids to come in and sort out some thing on the mobile, i cannot see what it is saying.

 Blind as a bat or i might be an old bat lol.

I have 3 appointments in January, CT scan next Sunday, 15th Oncologist results of CT and will be the first time i have seen her, since my Op, and 22nd Eye appointment, not sure if its for more eye injections or doing the cataract, and the 17

then going out for a meal, no rest for the wicked lol.

Enjoy your little break while you can.

Morning Stella, good to hear the cramps are easing, and slept well, I have had roasted belly pork in milk and honey, but never a joint as i don't think the tenderness  milk gives to pork would get right into the joint. Sounds like Craig's in for a treat though as it sounds fab. A little coca cola in your chocolate pudding mix helps it stay moist, good luck.

Hi Ellie, I have noticed it's getting lighter a tiny bit earlier, well that's 4 day out my friend, and i will have everything crossed they all go well for you, and no bloody cancellations. Emma my middle daughter is taking me out for a meal too, though as I'm driving and almost certainly paying, It's a strange description lol, anyway it will be nice and that's what matters.2 scans on Monday, spine and heart, and seeing Gastro nurse, 5 days after referral, is that good or bad lol, and you too Ellie have a lovely time and meal with family.
