Bread and dripping off a Sunday beef roast outstanding.:)
As a vegetarian I'll just have to take your word for it! :sick: :lol:
You know, I have never tasted mar mite!
I crave a good door step cheese and pickle sarnie like my old local pub used to make for me, but then some huge chain bought it out and the food went to plop.
After 13 years a recluse my best so far was a donor kebab smothered in chilli sauce and garlic mayonnaise, the only let down was that the salad wasnt greek. Im fully of the thought that if we kill animals for food we should eat it all including eyes etc, hence I have no issue eating anything (soz Dazzle)
However I did this week have a sharwoods chicken curry where IMO the chicken was rank and they seemed IMO to have tried to cover that fact with as many hot spices as they could and a lasangua where the meat was ground so small it was putrid to my palate.
I felt ill yesterday when i had a kebab in Leyton. I can tell a mile off when its not fresh. He just heated them up rather than prepare from fresh.
Round my way they make it fresh in front iff you. Never again. I could easily be vegetarian

Just got a flat tyre. Got a new car a year ago and they do not give you a spare tyre just a puncture kit. What a cheek. Toyota assistance do not carry tyres either with them so i imagine this will be a long day. I had the afternoon off to go shopping!

Sorry to hear your afternoon off is ruined. :(

You should definitely try it once - although I doubt you'll enjoy it. Marmite has a unique flavour and it seems to me from what I've heard people say that those who love it were brought up on it.

I too was brought up on marmite and enjoyed it on my toast at breakfasts, its lovely with melted cheese. I also use it for flavouring stews, soups and gravies.

I also use it in cooking the same way as you do. It's especially good in vegetarian cooking because it adds a deep savouriness that can otherwise be lacking without meat. Soy sauce can be used similarly.
Re the spare tyre issue, when I used sell second hand cars I used to say if asked, oh you dont want to have to carry a spare tyre it costs you money in petrol :ninja:
Yeah will defo try marmite.
Contractors sent me a detailed list of the work thyve planned and done for flat 7, I emailed them back and said thats fantastic, but whats going on with my flat no 8 :cartman::rotfl:

Oh you poor thing! get better soon Manchester 1966. I got very sick the other week ( not food poisoning) on those awful pendolino trains. I had to go to Edinburgh as my Dad has had a mild stroke. The train tips from side to side and oh how sick I was!! From now on I will travel with a different rail network.

I hope your dad feels better soon.
I'd be travel sick on those trains too I think. I can't even ride in the back of a car without turning green... :sick:
Hope he recovers soon. I remember when my father had a stroke years ago . I had to keep driving up and dwn from London to Manchester and back. I still hate that journey.

Thank you swm66, My sister in Edinburgh is waiting for the specialist to phone her with the results of a scan he had on Monday.
Ive sailed all my life never getting sea sick, but stick me in front of those found video cam movies or first person shoot em up games and expect imminent projectile vomiting.
On the train did you read a book or play on your phone etc? Next time dont, always look out the window at the horizon, it gives your brain something to work with and thus the inner ear.
Another wasted trip to A & E... just told to take more paracetomol and walk it off :wall: couldnt get to see a doctor she was the practice nurse. The same sort of pain is now in the other leg too..

Sorry to hear you're still in pain and not getting any help. :(
As for your other leg, it is a truth universally acknowledged that pain in one leg can cause problems in the other because the original pain often makes one walk with an unnatural gait.
That is a sage comment... land lady made me have a walk today, had a Big Mac for lunch and suffered TK Maxs and assorted shops, well mostly I sat on the bench outside with the rest of the old men :D
Been invited to a new years eve party, they plan to play trivial pursuits thats just my kind of a party, Im full of useless info.
8 out of ten cats do countdown... best show ever on a sat night.. you can either just watch and laugh or take it seriously and play.. I cant stand the day time version but love this version and Im getting pretty good although Ive not cracked a conundrum yet. (that wasnt a euphemism or double entendre) :ninja:
Sounds like the New Year's Eve party will be right up your street then. Trivia isn't my strong point I'm afraid. :o
Parkerman is our resident quiz expert (although it sounds like he might now have some competition!) and celeb. He's appeared on several quiz shows, including Tipping Point - which he won! :bow:
He won Tipping point .. yikes did he win the big token? I love that show its after the bill on W. Wow full respects to the fella.
Jimmy Carr won it last night on a celeb special, he was up against one of the unreality girls from up north the one that won CBB a while back, it was surreal.
He won Tipping point .. yikes did he win the big token? I love that show its after the bill on W. Wow full respects to the fella.
I'm not sure of the details because that's the only episode I've ever seen and it was several years ago, but I do remember he won £10,000. :D

My Ode to Autumn
Seasons of mists and mellow fruitfulness ( as the poem Ode to Autumn says), went for a long walk through the local park and really enjoyed the Autumn colours beginning to show through the trees ( Horse Chestnuts and Sycamores). I had managed to avoid showers earlier so I didn't need a raincoat. I then went for some emergency groceries in the local town, parishoners from the local C of E were slowly filtering out of the main door, one or two were carrying their choir clothes ( I din't know what the correct name for them is) concealed and draped over their arms in plastic dry cleaning covers. Others were in conversation about the weather or trips they had made recently. Then punctually as ever the church clock chimed the hour, on my way home I couldn't help noticing that very few birds were singing, the shorter days and longer nights are closing in I told myself and its time to bring the Geraniums in.

Thank you, Splashy! Yes, I won the £10,000. Paid for a nice trip to South America!
My only other tv quiz appearance was on Eggheads a few years ago. I won my head to head against CJ, but we lost in the final team round.
You beat CJ.. what kind of hair day was the chap having :cartman: Until I watched CJ I always thought it was only me who couldnt sort my own hair style out...:rotfl:
But I think Im missing the bullet point here... you bear CJ :thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup::thumbsup:
Pyro ... loved your ode... the tranquil image of church goers filtering out after their worship with god is very restful and life affirming.

Yes I had to go to three tie break questions as well when I beat CJ. They only showed one on telly. I was a bit disappointed with that.
I have to say that he was a really nice bloke. Him and Kevin were great. We met them all before and after filming and they were so welcoming and really put us all at ease. Both had a great sense of humour. Kevin was self-deprecating and in a way made fun of himself and his image of being a bit of a nerd, but he was far from that TV persona. Daphne was exactly how she seems on telly. Judith was a bit stand-offish and didn't really say much. Chris was just grumpy and didn't seem to want to have to meet contestants!
parkerman, wow, sorry I keep saying wow, but wow... Ive spent 13 years watching everything on telly and not being able to be a part of the world so I probably have seen you on telly as I love quiz shows. So in which case I want to say thank you for entertaining me.
Closest I came to TV was nearly being on Runabout hosted by Frank off Eastenders, gawd bless his soul.
Today I have mostly been struggling to get a cooker delivered via Skype as the land line is smeged. :ninja:
WOW hey im back saying WOW :angel:
Bore zone post ... land agents didnt send me the bill for this quarters maintenance costs hoping I wouldnt pay them so they could hit me with other costs. They clam they sent it on the 10th, who too is all I asked. WQell any ways thats 400 odd quid gone :crying:
Really nice bloke from BT fixed the land line and I stopped a cat fight.

Not feeling happy at the moment. Quite the reverse.
One of our two cats, Muggles, has been terminally ill for a while with kidney failure. We noticed about 6 weeks ago that he was losing weight and was a bit listless, so we took him to the vet who diagnosed kidney failure. He said there wasn't much we could do about it and it was just a matter of time. He said that he wouldn't be in any pain - and he certainly didn't seem to be - but he would just get more and more listless, which is what has been happening. He has been getting worse and sits in one place not moving for a long time, though every now and then he gets up and walks around and even goes outside for a bit.
Last night, after a day of doing very little, he suddenly got up and ran to the door. I opened it for him and he ran outside. That was the last I saw of him. It was quite cold last night and he didn't come back in. I tried calling him and going out to look for him but I couldn't see him anywhere. We have a cat flap, so it was just a matter of hoping he would come back in. But he still hasn't turned up and, after another extensive look outside (and inside, just in case), I can't see him anywhere this morning. If he just laid down in the cold last night and didn't move, that might well have finished him off. The worse thing is not knowing where he is or if he is still alive. I have been out this morning looking everywhere I can think of, but all to no avail.
The sad thing is he is only 10 and, until a few weeks ago, was a very lively cat and definitely "Top Cat" of the neighbourhood. But he was also very friendly and he'd spend a lot of time in the evening curled up on my lap. Not to mention helping me write my books during the day by walking all over the keyboard! We were good mates!
Of course I'm hoping he'll turn up, but even then, I know it's only a matter of a very short time.....

I am sorry that Muggles has gone missing, every pet owners nightmare not knowing where the animal is, especially when it is ill. I hope that Muggles will turn up again for a few more cuddles :(
I feel your pain parkerman: the distress of watching a terminally ill cat decline slowly, and also the panic of a cat going missing and scouring the neighbourhood to no avail. :(
I really hope he turns up and that he gets to spend time curled up on your lap again.
Very sorry to hear this parkerman, if Muggles had a cat blanket try hanging it up outside ,if possible not too far away from the cat flap, don't allow it to get wet, tom cat scent is very strong it might just give him a track. This worked for us when one of our cats went missing for three days. Now obviously your dealing with different circumstances, but may be worth a try....:(
hope he shows up parkerman, is there other cats in your area

As I said, he is terminally ill with kidney failure and very listless. He has spent most of the last few days hardly moving. I think that's the last thing he'd be up to. I'm much more concerned that the cold got him last night.

Whether or not it's an old wives tale or just country folklore I always heard that cats often disappear from their home surroundings to die.

I think there is some truth in it, though that has never happened with any of the cats I've had...so far.
I think there is some truth in it, though that has never happened with any of the cats I've had...so far.
I've had a terminally ill cat do something similar. She was the type of cat who'd jump on my lap as soon as I sat down and would even lie on me when I was in bed (I had to lock her out of the bedroom in the end because she was giving me a bad back!). I often thought she was more like a dog than a cat in her need to be close to me at all times.
I first knew something was wrong because she stopped wanting to be near me and moved out onto the kitchen table. I made her a comfortable box to sleep in on the table and she lived there for the rest of her life (it was a couple of months I think). She seemed to know she was dying and wanted to be alone (although that situation was obviously a bit different because she wasn't as close to the end as Muggles).
If he died in the cold it was possibly his own choice and probably as painless a death as could be hoped for (I know humans who are dying of the cold quickly fall into a stupor and then unconsciousness, so I imagine it would be similar for cats).
I hope you find out what happened one way or another.

Failing that I will sell my toe nail clippings on ebay.

Oh and my new kitchen in my flat is awesome, I was going to say something crass about considering you couldnt swing a....then thought of Mugles...
Have officially watched all the movies on sky so have started on the box sets, land lady is happy as she can now catch up on walking dead... her fav character is now seeking new employment after Mondays show, but mine is still hanging there. (shes as OCD as me, I got her the one terabyte box but she cant stand to use more than 5% of the memory and deletes everything!!)

I've just caught up on the lastest episode. That was some mind-boggingly tense and sickening TV! Luckily, my favourite character (Carol) wasn't even at Negan's fun little party. :D

Just seen the thread about Parkermans cat so sad to hear this. I have only had my cat a few weeks and we have all become so attached to her. I am dreading the day she goes out for the first time in this area due to all the foxes around here. shes too young yet and weak as she is a rescue cat and i think she was half starved when they found her. But when i think of something happening to her its very similar to that of feelings for your child. When i wake up i rush to go and see her and it makes my morning. I can only imagine feelings get stronger as they age with you.
I'm glad to hear you all love your new cat so much, swmc66. :)

Keep her indoors, all my cats were indoor cats, they don´t miss going out if they don´t know it. In fact, one of my cats never wanted to go out and was crying at the front door the one day I pushed him out just to get an idea of his surroundings. Ninja just loved to sit on the window sill and observe what was going on outside. :D
I would rather do that. I think she will not want to go outside as she ended up in a rescue as i think she got lost one day.
I would rather do that. I think she will not want to go outside as she ended up in a rescue as i think she got lost one day. You can get little harnesses and when she is a bit older and stronger you can take her on a little walk, if she wants to do that. I let Ninja out just once so he could get a look at and smell of the surroundings in case he ever did get outside after getting spooked or so. At least then (so I think) it helps cats to find their way home again if they are just indoor cats. So what is your kitten called? So glad you are enjoying her company and I am sure she will be ever grateful for having got a good home for the rest of her life :D
Thank you. I have a harness so will do that. My daughter named her Luna after a girl in harry potter.

Got a wedding in bingley in bradford and then next day celebration called a Walima in Leeds. Got to drive to a place in rochdale to stay two days and travel to and fro to Bradford and Leeds. My husband said his relatives lived in bradford so i agreed to stay but then when i asked them for their postcde they gave me a rochdale one. Needless to say i was a bit mad as Manchester s my home town and i could have stayed with any of my relatives and felt more relaxed. Anyway the place i am staying is amazing .could not believe it when i saw it on the internet..like staying in a posh hotel. So all is well although i have to drive all dressed up on a daily basis and drive an hour here and there.
i think i will need a break after this one!
Have a good one swmc66.
Is it only me that keeps getting windows updates that take hours to install? Im beggining to think Bill Gates has it in for me as I once out bid him on Steven Hawkins Under pants.
Oh boy, and West World started out so well, I give it a 3 stars on the snooze along rating now.
I think a lot of people get that
I don't use Windows any more but I certainly used to find the updates annoying - especially when they restart your computer without warning! :angry:
I'm disappointed to hear Westworld has gone downhill, Splashy. I was really looking forward to watching it! :(

Never a fan of Apple, Steve Jobs was always anti anyone messing with his kit, you bought it, you used it as it is or jog on was his policy. But that was way back then before smart phones etc and now im totally out of date re andrioid etc etc as I cant see that well to use them. Back in my day you got a box the size of half the room stuck some stuff in and hoped you could play pac man on it after two months of typing in code. One month of that was just for the pretty picture that came up when you started the game. :wall:
Had 8oz rump steak for lunch and great company of family.
Dont take my word on west world, I snooze easily or maybe I was just just waiting for Yule Brinner to turn up :cartman:

Linux.. that was what I was trying to remember, had a weird convo once with the actor who played Wesley Crusher on Star Trek Next Gen about that, well he said he was the actor, who knows, in reality he was probably a diner lady from Grange Hill.

It probably was the real Wesley Crusher lol. I hear Wil Wheaton is very active on the internet and quite the geek. :D
Its taken me nearly 6 hours to get to Rochdale! It was supposed to be 4. Just going to bed now and have to be up at 6 again.
Just so i can see a childhood friend before the wedding. Friday afternoon is not a good time to drive to another city. But it was interesting as i ended up taking a 12 year old grl with me ...my friends sister who needed to get back home up north after half term. She has become addicted to coronation street after kylie killed Calum. She was impressed with my spoilers and even more impressed when i said the guy who plays kevin was in my brothers maths class. She was really good company and i am meeting up with her again tomorrow. Missing my cat though.

I'm so glad I don't have a proper garden any more - a small patio with some pots is plenty for me! (I do miss the wide variety of wildlife I used to get in my old garden though. )
My flat has gardeners, thats sorted, here we have massive trees all about and we aint allowed to hack them down :( . Had to get sat disk stuck on a massive pole to get a signal and even then if a squirrel farts we have issues :wall:
Its the day after they emptied the garden waste bin and already its half full with leaves. to quote myself "dam you trees"
Wildlife here make for a great watch I have to say and the animals as well :ninja:
I am so exhausted it feels as i have just been driving for days. Yesterday i went from rochdale to bradford then leeds then rochdale again and then blackburn and i think my sat nav was taking me the long route everytime. So much road works etc on weekend as well. Anyway i went to Blackburn at 10pm last night as i had the opportunity to see a childhood friend who i had not seen since i was about 15. That was 35 years ago. Its was so nice to see her and catch up. I got back to rochdale 1am and feeling it now.
I also saw another childhood friend in the morning in rochdale before the wedding and sat for a while with her mum who has dementia. She remembered me and my family and i showed her lots of old photos on my phone. She has strong memories of my dad as he helped her with a lot of paperwork and applications for benefits when her husband walked out for another women.. Her kids were very young then. I remember that time clearly. In 2004 she went to our old house in manchester to try and see my dad as she just felt she wanted to see him after so many years. They told her her had moved a while back and had ended up moving down south to be nearer hs grown up kids and that he had just died a few days ago. Her and her daughter came to london the next day to see us all . So it was nice seeing her.
Hordes of sugar infused ghosts & ghouls invaded the close tonight!
We ran out of candy so had to take in the pumpkin, alas not all sprogs parents know the rules about only knock on the door where a pumpkin glows.
Land lady is a teacher so most of the cold calling fright night addressed her like it was a school assembly :D
Only one boy turned up at my door so a very easy halloween. I think they all were busy with Diwali
Property Management tools want to install a door entry system, which is fine. they trying to con us that it wont cost us anything as it comes out of the emergency fund.. the emergency fund which the owners of the flats paid into!! How thick do they think we are.?
Anywho they are telling me where the phone will be installed, in the hallway by the main door to the flat, which happens to be only 5 foot deep and enclosed by the inner door to the flat... which would mean probably you will never hear someone trying to buzz your flat to get in as the inner door is designed to keep communal noise out from the stair well!
Its all ridiculous as the owner of the land seems to be just telling us thats what they have arranged and tough noogies if you dont like it. Well Ive got time on my hand so I think they may regret being so heavy handed, if Im going to pay for something I want it to be what I want not what Im told to have,
Today I paid the window cleaner in cash and gave him some warm water :cartman:
What a ridiculous situation with the proposed door entry system, Splashy! I hope you give that domineering owner what for. :thumbsup:
Oh I will Dazzle, I will :ninja:
So whos up for going to ASDA later? I like to push the boat out on a Friday and get a peperami pizza, with extra cheese,,, yes extra cheese :cartman:

Throw some dead animal pieces on it and count me in :p
Hope the neighbours will give us all a good show tonight, its cheaper watching other peoples fireworks, but I will contribute with my one rocket, it cost me a massive one pound of my earth monies.
Home alone this weekend, landlady is leading a horde of rabid girls into loot Brighton, also known as a guide pack on a fun weekend.. :rotfl:
Last night ran a test run on setting off rockets ready for next weekends party, managed to bounce two off a tree and a third got stuck in a branch. the problem is next door has huge trees over hanging the garden and they are protected by the council. But I think Ive found a way over them now.
Looking forward to Tuesday night and the USA elections. Could a real sexist racist twerp really be elected and actually be worse than George W Bush and Clintons.

Yes! (Something I couldn't have foreseen saying a few months ago.) I'm dreading another Brexit-type shock result. :(

Since my redundancy last year I am still getting job refusals by the armfull, ( to date I have had 18!!!) However yesterday things began to look a bit more positive, one of the job agencies I am with e mailed me to tell me a vacancy had come up and would I ring back asap. I am now waiting to hear from the employer as to whether I am to have an interview or not. Meanwhile, I busied myself with the endless conveyer belt of housework which keeps me fit. Going to my local library later to continue with my family ancestry. So far I have reached 1852!!

Sorry that you were made redundant and good luck with the possible new job. :thumbsup: Well done on the family ancestry .. were there any surprises ? :)
I have everything crossed for you pyrocanthus re the job.
A cousin did our family tree a few years back apparently we are related to the Queen & Darth Vader.
I remain dubious :lol:

I'm related to the Queen. She is the niece of the wife of the 3rd cousin twice removed of the husband of the wife of the great grandson of the wife of my first cousin five times removed. And that is absolutely true. So, pretty close I'd say! Also, it must mean we are related, Splashy! :D

congrats mate.. to create something that others enjoy .. :thumbsup:
To be boring re ancestry, our family tree links us to the Earl of Snowdon the photographer who married Prissiness Margaret, but I think its way cooler to say my best mate was the best mate of Craig David at school.
Its 6 am on the 9.11.2016 ... looks like Trump is the new USA president.
He was so busy calling Clinton names, have they any real idea what he will do in power?
Putin must be having a party, his new best mate is n power.

How did he win, after all his did and said, Hilary must really have been unliked to lose to him, I expected her to win
How did he win, after all his did and said, Hilary must really have been unliked to lose to him, I expected her to win
Racism must have been a huge factor, with exit polls showing his highest proportion of voters being white middle-class Americans - particularly men but also women!
With the KKK in the US and the far right the world over celebrating today, all decent and fair-minded people should worry about what's happening in the western world - including the UK (where Theresa May and her cabinet are out UKIP-ing UKIP and much of our media inciting hatred and violence without reproach). We should all be fearful about where this is leading. :(
How did he win, after all his did and said, Hilary must really have been unliked to lose to him, I expected her to win I did not expect her to win .. people are sick and tired of the Clintons, from what I gathered ... Donald Trump seems to be a breath of fresh air he is a business man (successful) rather than politician .. the thing I am concerned about is that he will need expert advisors to help him with making political decisions .. lets hope there are no loose canons amongst them ... I think if they had chosen Bernie Sanders to run for the Democrats instead of Hillary Clinton, the result might have been different ..
^^All the above..
Wheres L H Oswald when you need him :cartman:
Mr Trump can I interest you in an open top car to drive round downtown Dallas near a picket fence
or maybe some theatre tickets. :angel:
he will deport any non rednecks from america :p

Well he stinks to me!
He's not quite as successful as he boasts either. He inherited huge wealth from his father (it's a hell of a lot easier to increase wealth than it is to build it from scratch) and many of his business ventures have gone bankrupt. Plus there's the little fact that of his incredible tax avoidance.
There can be no loose canon worse than Trump. His advisers and the Republican party have spent the past few months in vain desperately trying to reign him in. But in the end his nastiness and volatility just made him more attractive to a huge swathe of voters...

I am not in favour of him, please don´t misunderstand but I have lots of family in the US who voted for him because they could not stomach another Clinton as president. It was their arguments I stated .. I have no knowledge of US politics and I certainly share concerns about Mr Trumps attitude ... I do believe though that a different runner for the Democrats would have made a difference to the outcome .. Mrs HRC was the wrong choice ..
I would also like to thank whoever wrote Mr Trump´s victory speech ... sure was not Mr Trump´s way of natural conversation :p

I don't understand why she is so hated especially over Trump after some of his comments and actions, he is a sexiest racist against anyone who is not a die hard straight rich gun totting Republican American
His victory speech was very tamed compared to his previous speeches, I think he knows he will maybe have to reign it in and change his views to work with others but Republicans seem to have taken many seats

You forgot to add white to that list. :p
Hillary Clinton is hated because she's seen as very much part of the establishment, in bed with the banks, and a war monger (all of which appear to be true). And yet, objectively she was still a hundred times better than the alternative. The Democrats had a popular anti-establishment possibility in Bernie Sanders (a socialist and the US' version of Jeremy Corbyn) but the Democrat machine and money helped ensure Hillary won the primaries.
As Perdita says, Bernie Sanders had a better chance of winning against Trump because he's also an anti-establishment figure and doesn't have Hillary's distasteful past weighing him down. He would probably have appealed more than her to the many in the US (as in the rest of the Western world) who are understandably very angry with the establishment.

Katy Perry who was a big campaigner for Hilary, but said her parents voted for Trump :p
Clinton had many celebs on her side
That's also happened to me! :(
:rotfl: Now Ive got to stump up 80 odd quid for the dam thing.
I know who wont be having a good day today, Obarma, he gets to hand shake the creep who campaigned to have him thrown out of office because he claimed he wasnt American relentlessly which was just a smoke screen that another agenda may of been hiding behind.
I agree re Hilary, she wasnt claiming she would get every American a job, she would of just employed all the usual croonies and self serving bods. Her lets say error of lets say morals over the email scandal would of perhaps maybe possibly of been a court case in lets say umm a less oh lets say wealthy well connected individuals situation.
I think its a very dangerous time for the world, lets just hope the actual democratic power in congress etc can reign in Trumper. The man seriously is a very bad joke that has gone way tooooooo far.
Just reflecting on those that sacrificed all, so we can be who we are today.

Went for Pub lunch, company was excellent but the food was like school diners.
Just checked in on my flat, all carpets layed the kitchen tiled and finished, the bath room tiles are done .. its all looking brilliant.
Monday is eye doctor day, I know it sounds weird but I hope I get registered blind it would sort some issues. (will stop the job centre trying to get me to be a bus driver) There are levels of sight and Im lucky that its partial loss.
Land lady hates animals, so it always makes me chuckle when everyone we encounter heads straight for her :rotfl: last night a cat came running out the pushes mewing for her attention totally ignoring me the actual animal lover. :rotfl:

Nah I do have "Bests" well I knew that since I was 6 but I dont have anything else, that was what I was worried about. I am now registered as severely sight impaired which will get the Job centre off my back for a bit. There is no cure for it, but my issues are insignificant to one chap in the waiting room, made me realise how lucky I am.
Did make me chuckle thou, three nurses discussed my case in front of me when they did the read the chart thing and eye pressures, then the next doctor took an age over photographing my eyes , it was torture "look into the light, eyes wide, relax" shesh Id of sold out Ann Frank in an instant if that would of made her stop.
Then the next phase was waiting in the red chairs seeing the specialist, no minion for this fool, it was straight to the top man for me, Lovely fella and top of his field and also a good ophthalmologist . :D
:D
I'm glad that's over and that you had the outcome you wanted (ie job centre off your back but no worsening of your sight). Hopefully you'll sleep easier tonight.

Yes you definitely need to go back. Sometimes the first antibiotics they give can be ineffective so they need to try others. Don't be tempted to leave it because it'll get worse, and also take longer to clear up. You should call a doctor out if you're not well enough to go to the surgery.

Don´t want to add to your worries but I know several people here in sunny Spain who needed around 4 weeks to get rid of their chest infections recently ... get as much rest as you can, I guess sometimes these things take longer. Maybe a change of antibiotics is needed, definitely another trip to the doctor as soon as you can. Hope you get better real soon :)

Still trying hard to get a job, I have had 18 job refusals so far but I am not giving up. the sort of work I am applying for is reception/switchboard operator, although there have been some good times in 2016 I hope that 2017 will be more positive for me.

I had mice in my kitchen not long ago, phoned the pest control people, they bought some traps and laced the bait with peanut butter. After 3 days mice removed. Some of my neighbours had reported mice in their kitchens and living rooms too, so the pest control people were around for some considerable time. The cause? well one theory was that a nest had been disturbed due to building work which my neighbour to my left had been having done as he was having a 3 square metre high kitchen built ( this replaced a lovely conservatory that my old neighbour had done some years before)
I am in a panic now as i got a cat 5 weeks ago and it had light fur across where it was neutured Its a rescue cat and around that area we can now see flesh as it has been licking a wound of some sort. I have looked up stuff and it says things about seromas and hernias. Anyway we are supposed to see the vet at 12 and she may need surgery.but i fed the cat at 8am. We never were given any instructions and now i am panicking they will delay surgery if she needs it. We waited 4 days to go back to the Celia Hammond Rescue Centre as they think its to do with the operation they did. Now what shall i do?

I appreciate how concerned you must feel about little kitty but maybe she does not need an operation, did she not have a cone around her head to stop her licking the wound after her op? It could be just a stitch that got infected and some antibiotics might be all she needs. I am sure the delay of 24 hours for an operation if she does need one won´t make a big difference. Hope she is right as rain again soon http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/smileys-and-emoticons/cats/smileys-cats-661522.gif (http://www.picgifs.com/smileys/)
Hi swmc66, I'm not sure from your description what's wrong with your beloved cat, but I'm certain you don't need to panic. I'm sure the vet will give her whatever treatment is necessary. Emergency operations are carried out every day on people and animals who haven't been nil by mouth. I doubt she needs emergency surgery anyway because if she's eating normally she probably feels OK in herself. Appetite is nearly always a good way to gauge if an animal is feeling well or not, and I can't imagine that she needs an operation today if she's not in pain.
The likelihood is that it's only something minor that doesn't need an operation anyway. Good luck and let us know what the vet says won't you?
Thanks for the advice. Hopefully they will be able to treat her today and give her a cone to stop making it worse.
Wish all pets had such a caring owner as you swmc66 .. be thinking of you both

My home has been flooded (several years and addresses ago now) so I know first hand what a horrific experience it is. Anyone experiencing flooding at the moment has my utmost sympathy. :(
It was a skin infection so no surgery thank goodness. Vet put a cone thing around her but she took it off in minutes. Given up trying to put it back on and ordered something called a pet tshirt that should do the trick. Got to gve her antibiotics which is tricky as she does not like wet food just likes the cravy on it.
Anyway just glad its not serious. I had to try hard not to bring another extra cat home. I so love them but my husband says one is enough.

Brilliant news!!! I know it is difficult to give pets medicine but I manage to open their mouths with one hand and put the pill right down the back of their mouths and hope they swallow it... have you tried hiding the pill in a bit of tuna? Most cats love it and if the pill is small you might be lucky that she does not spit it out :) Hope you manage it somehow anyway ... give hubby some time, you might be able to adopt another kitty at some time :D
I have managed to mix it with a small amount of food after crushing them and giving it with treats on it. So far so good.

Don´t want to add to your worries but I know several people here in sunny Spain who needed around 4 weeks to get rid of their chest infections recently ... get as much rest as you can, I guess sometimes these things take longer. Maybe a change of antibiotics is needed, definitely another trip to the doctor as soon as you can. Hope you get better real soon :)
I got a second course of steroids and still bad :(
I got a second course of steroids and still bad :( So sorry to hear that :( When I have a bad cold which is usually always with a bad sinus infection, I eat loads of fresh garlic, like fresh garlic on toast ... I love it and when I have a bad cold, I don´t want anyone close to me anyway :p:ninja: Also honey, cinnamon and a splash of lemon in hot water several times a day makes me feel much better within days. Also honey, lemon juice and coconut oil in warm water is a natural cough syrup, coconut oil is anti bacterial and anti viral, maybe give that a go too and boost your immune system that way. Hope you feel better soon :thumbsup:
Honey and Lemon Cough Syrup with Coconut Oil
Ingredients:
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup local raw honey
2 tablespoons coconut oil
Directions:
Mix all the ingredients together in a small saucepan and heat over low until coconut oil is melted.
Take warm syrup by the spoonful as desired. You can also mix the syrup into hot water or tea.
Once the syrup is cooled the coconut oil will harden.
Store in refrigerator for up to a month. Gently warm the syrup up before using.
I got a second course of steroids and still bad :(

I'm not sure from that description if you feel there's been any improvement lol. My mum's prone to chest infections and they can take a long time to shift unfortunately. Usually it's a good sign if there's been even a tiny improvement or if your symptoms are at least not worsening.
I hope you're feeling better soon! :)

Teddy and Kitty took me for another walk today, couldnt have cuter companions, I know it sounds mad, but back in the days before I went totally agoraphobic I used to have a nurse walk me once a week, she was pleasant an all but I prefer being walked by the woofers.

I think we should all make Perditas medicine. We will need it for the winter.
Did a 12 hour day working day across three London boroughs so lots of travelling and sitting in traffc When i cam home and parked outside my house i reversed into a car! I would'nt mind but i had a camera for reverse parking. But did i look at it? No! Luckily no damage to both cars and he was a really nice man. I was listening to music too loud and worrying about one of my daughters.

He then asks me when land lady will be in and that he will be back then..he then turns up at 4.30 fixes the light switch but says he will be back later to fix the door handle when land lady is back. Im beginning to think my good looks and husky persona are wasted on him :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:
Mind you Id be more interested in a handy lady :cartman:
I just went to see Beautiful the Carol King musical. It was fantastic then ended the day at the Holborn Dining Rooms Someone who i work with turned 50 so we celebrated big style. So many good shows on right now in the west end but very pricy for good seats.

Im being dragged to London this weekend, not a fan. I worked there for a few years, still not mastered the under ground, The northern line im ok ish with but anywhere else i just got a Taxi. Im hoping to do New York next year and catch a show on Broadway.. but knowing my luck all I will catch is bird flue :wall:
Do you note how I make everything about me :moonie:
I did not like London the first 3 years i was here. I lhave live here 27 years. I think when i am oldi i will move back to Manchester as it still feels like home to me.

140 flaming mile round trip to London to eat some rank dried chicken in a bun in Nandos, land lady really planned the trip well it involved not finding any where else to eat after miles of me limping on my bad leg only to have to walk back to Nandos just a street away from the train station we came into.
Im never doing that again, I didnt want to go in the first place but I was told I must meet my nephew, who roundly ignored me the whole meal. Thou I dont blame him as I was by then not a talkative bunny.
Londons not changed, its just as horrible as I remember from when I worked there all thou tons more high rise buildings.
I mean what is she going to plan next, a trip to Aberdeen so we can randomly walk round streets only to go back to the local chippy by the station pop into a local chippy and then come home again :wall::wall::wall::wall::
Oh dear! I hope you and land lady are still talking after your disastrous trip! :eek:
:D yeah Dazzle, but its the last time I let her be in charge of any trip :cartman:
Last F1 race of the year, its never a good end to the season as the track is awful for anyone trying to overtake anyone else no matter how pretty it is under night lighting.
Totally enjoyed the race.. Was willing Vettel to over take them both but fair play to Rosberg for keeping his cool and not playing Hamilton games

Flippen contractor refurbishing my flat changed the lock on the door so I couldnt get in to my own flat :wall:
I told them I had another contractor coming this week so how the hell where they going to get in if I hadnt done an expedition and found out my keys no longer work?
Main boss was very apologetic but the simpleton who took my call today was very vague and couldnt seem to grasp why I need a key and why two keys. I told him slowly again one key for me one key for the other contractor :wall:
I didnt trust him so I emailed the company with all the details, if they dont email me back by Wednesday Im going to be a bit terse about this. They clammed the lock seized but it had been working fine for the last twenty odd years! They need to be nice to me if they want their final payments :angel:

The weather today is frosty or as the poem by Thomas Hardy quotes 'frost of spectre grey' , it is a typical Winter/Autumn day where I live.Sunshine is streaming through one of the windows in my home, silence has once again made its presence in the garden with birdsong on hold until Spring resurfaces. On the odd occasion a robin will fly into my back garden, perching itself on the fence, and every now and again will almost stare at me as if to say 'any food about, I'm hungry. How could I refuse, with a fist of breadcrumbs I wander out into the garden and scatter them on the patio, then quickly retreat indoors and await the hoards of birdlife to grace my garden ( if only for a few precious minutes).
I have an interview next week , hope that this time it will turn out to be more positive than the last 20 job interviews I had which culminated in the immortal words ' your application has been unsucessful'.

Good luck do not give up. My daughter quit teaching recently and she had a few months off to recover. When she decided to apply for teaching assistant posts 100s of people were applying for one post. She started a new job on monday finally but had some rejections before that. She is getting her confidence and her life back together now

Off to visit my flat and old stomping ground today. land lady is droping me off then will pick me up after shopping. Its really tedious not being able to drive. All the buses here go to Winchester, so I would have to get a train to Southampton then get another bus there. Im going to have to buy a horse and cart.
Sorry to hear you're still having problems with your legs. :(
I hope your visit to your flat today goes well, and please post a photo of your horse and cart when you get them because I love horses! :D

Flat looks brilliant, door entry system goes in on Monday soon be time for estate agent to value.
Mandonalds is just across the road so had breakfast and lunch from there then next door is Lidl which I had a stroll about, my flat maybe small but its location location location baby, right on the main bus routes to town and everywhere with a Tesco store across the road and a Sainburys super store within a 7 min walk.
But my fav pub is now a house and all the rest close are withespoons like big chains, no darts teams etc.
Im no expert but isnt there a way of activating/downloading to the forum a anti robot test for joining? i mean I hate them with my poor eyesight but they do their job of keeping out R2D2 and his gang of ingrates.
Sounds great. Hope it makes life easier
OFGS you couldnt make this smeg up.
Contractor got keys Sunday and is now installing a door entry system in my flat, which would be great if the goon had of left a entry key with my contact when he picked the key up for the flat as agreed. So this is going to be one hell of a secure entry system now myself and my contractors cant get into the block!
TBH I will kick the door in if they dont sought me a key asap, I didnt agree to the entry system nor was any of us consulted. It just makes me so angry that I did my best well in advance to make sure this didnt happen yet all contact was brutally ignored.

Brrr it`s colder than a politician`s heart here today....and it`s supposed to get colder by the weekend. :(
I spent all of last month binge watching All Saints. It took me less than a year to watch all 12 seasons. I feel strangely empty, and very sad after watching the finale. What a brilliant show that was.
I had to binge watch them because Plus7 online were going to cancel it the end of November. And wouldn`t you know, on December the 1st, All Saints was extended on the Plus 7 channel for another 4 months!
:(
I got 3 more weeks to finish the Christmas gifts I`m making for friends. I hope it won`t be like last year and knitting hats til 5am Christmas morning!!!!

The problem is my guys asking if the entrance system is witched on Im a city away I have no clue and the other contractor never replies to my emails or voice messages, but then he isnt my contractor he is land owners contractor but my contractor cant grasp that. :wall:
