Galen, just broccoli and sweet potatoe with some vegetable stock, salt, pepper and a sprinkling of mixed herbs.
The jacket is, now I have read the care label, boiled wool and not to be washed!
So, what does “class” actually mean to you nowadays?

One of those days today! I was trying to get packed for my hospital stay, tidy up the house. I did a woollen wash and put stuff out on the line. I was aiming to get out in time for lunch with my knitting group friends.
I then started to clean the E bay high chair DD bought for use here. Not a good idea! If you put a tap on, make sure the plug is out of the sink. Don’t go off and do something else!
So I rushed back into the flood, upstairs to the airing cupboard, got out the “doggy towels” to mop up. I cleared up, whilst paddling about in the room in wet slippers, socks and trouser bottoms. The tap had over flowed across the work surface into the cupboard underneath. This soaked a box of washing powder, which is now in the shed drying out. The box will need re-gluing.
There is moral here somewhere.
During this crisis I was talking on the phone to SIL who rang to wish me well in hospital.
I have now girded up my loins for parathyroid surgery tomorrow.
Due to go in at 8am beds permitting with hopefully just an overnight stay. I have no idea how I will feel afterwards.
Probably come home with a bolt through my neck! 
Very happily my lovely DD is coming over on Saturday to cook me a meal and administer TLC, her suggestion, knowing that her father is as much use as a chocolate fireguard at such times. Its very useful having a nurse in the family she was so lovely today, and I will see DGS. 
Boiled wool? You'd think it would have been quite at home in that soup...
Babysat two DGCs as they are really poorly and neither DD not SiL can take today off. I quite like looking after poorly children. I love the snuggling up under a quilt, watching rubbish TV and reading their favourite books. And, I think I gave them the bug so I should be fine!!
Been at the CAB today. Chatting to bailiffs and loan companies! The confusion about the changes in Housing and Council Tax benefits has already started. The letters sent out by the local authority are doing nothing to clarify the situation. 
I don't usually read this thread but was obviously meant to today. Stansgran have a wonderful time tonight, we saw it in Birmingham. You will be watching the best ballet company in the UK imo.
Good luck Nellie. What is wrong with your parathyroids? 
Got a stinking cold! Going to bed. Duvet day tomorrow
Hope you`re better in the morning Galen. 
Get well soon, poorly Gransnetters
Have added a lovely new photo of Torben to my album. He looks so grown up for a wee boy who will be celebrating his third birthday next month.
number you make me laugh! years since i last heard of swarfega
What a dear little picture Soop , you must be bursting with pride .
numberplease ! Did it work - do you not have to wash her afterwards? I'm needing to get in amongst Daisy the Cat's matted bits 
! She'll not let me brush her, and her long hair gets matted around her hips and neck. I think I'm going to have to put a comb in at the back of the matted areas against her skin and snip away the matts. Anyone got a better idea? DH was covered in scratches and bites after holding her the last time.
soop Torben looks so grown up now! Gorgeous!
Yes, Torben is certainly no longer a "little baby"...he says that "I'm a big boy now"...
You leave the head and neck sticking out?
Are you handy with a needle? Perhaps you could make a kind of straight jacket with relevant bits sticking out. I'm trying to picture one now!

Thank you all so much for your helpful advice.....! Daisy looks like a wee angel, but she's more like a shark, the amount of big sharp teeth she has.
