Couch 182: Spiced Gingerbread.

You can have the rest of my 275g bar of Milka peanut caramel chocolate bar. It was supposed to last the whole of examination period, but I'm still 3 weeks away from that.

Have you tried Ritter sport chocolate?

I've never tried the PB twix. But I've tried the PB kitkat. We don't have strange flavours in the UK.

All this talk of chocolate is making me hungry for chocolate. Not fair. Kit.

I don't have an answer, maybe it's that yu want someone to really notice your pain and superficial chit chat is the last thing you need.

Yup same thing with me. I'm craving a chocolate croissant though.

Does it help if I say "cucumber apple orange"?!?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!



I hope you have an awesome time on friday. I'm craving a massage.

Perhaps just let it be for now and give her space to cool her head.

I have to take Amelia, my kitty cat, to the vet today, just for a checkup, nothing is wrong that I know of, but for whatever reason, I'm still worried. I think it will be fine, but there's always a chance they are going to tell me there's something wrong. I work half a day and then I take her to the vet in the afternoon. I'm hoping to get some wrapping of Christmas presents done in the afternoon/evening after Amelia's appointment. Kit.

THAT is the BEST!!! I havent figured out yet what sport it makes you good at. But I'll keep investigating and get back to you...

I need to work out how to get some. The one flavour I really want to try is not available here, apparently. And it feels weird paying postage on chocolate.

Maybe if you need to order something else online from a general store you can also order the chocolate so you aren't just paying shipping on chocolate.

I like your thinking.

12 jr cats, 2 weeks post-surgery, and many cans of overpriced premium dog food later, I'm happy to report the little dog is well. She has shown her appreciation by tearing a hole in my mattress with her few remaining teeth. I suspect, but cannot confirm, that the other dog was in cahoots.

I would totally spend money on shipping for chocolate.

I think I would too, unless I could get it on Amazon prime, and then the shipping wouldn't matter. I bought some amazing tea from Amazon when I had a tea party/baby shower. Then I liked it so much I bought some as Christmas presents for friends. Kit.

I do the bulk of my holiday shopping on amazon. I enjoy free shipping with prime. I think it’s totally worth it to pay the yearly fee for prime.

I agree. I did most of my Christmas shopping at Target and Amazon. Kit.

Agreed on all counts.

How many jr cats to replace the mattress?

Session in an hour. I'm now feeling extremely self-conscious that I told him I missed him, even though he responded positively. What the hell is wrong with me?

Must be the week for dentists. I have an hour long dentist appointment i dont know how i am going to get through. I vomited last time and i feel so bad about it. I dont have a choice as its a givt voucher and they set the timeframe for the work and if i want the denture i need to get. The teeth done at a private dentist. I chose one because they said they were gentle, didnt feel gentle, why get the contract if you are going to treat pensioners like ****.

Is anyone else going to be alone on christmas day?

Yeppers. Hopefully i will have my new fridge installed by then, so i can make a non-packaged foods meal. Aka "fresh". Havent heard that word around here in a while. But im starting to make real progress on the de-hoarding so they can get the appliances in and out of here. I would kill for spinach and yogurt.

I honestly hope I pass away before then

Otherwise you bet, I've no time for people anymore

My husband heard from a relative today (almost never happens; they've been estranged for a long time). His brother has stage 4 bone cancer and was having surgery today. He's pretty distraught. His kind and loving heart wants to be there; his head knows that would be a terrible mistake -- his family would abuse him. It's a grieving process. I'm staying home from rehearsal tonight just to be here with him. I think he'll be okay, but every time his family decides to pop in unexpectedly, it's hard for him. With his own major surgery coming up in less than two weeks, he doesn't need this stress right now.

(((Artley))) Busybodies will come out of the woodwork trying to arrange a truce, even when the truly affected parties are satisfied with the status quo, is my experience.

You and your H certainly have my support to do whatever is best for his health and well-being.
