I started to make some flapjack this morning. Butter melting, sugar weighed, nuts and seeds ground, tin lined with baking parchment, oven heating up...

...no oats

all is on hold.

Gi' us a wee bitty aff the end soop my soup is taking forever to do and I am starving grin

Flickety I can sympathise. On one of my early visits to DD in Oz I had to sleep on a futon which for the first 3 nights or so was quite comfy. It then became not comfy and I tried to shake it to get its innards jiggled about - it was a double and I nearly ended myself. I spent the next 4 weeks on the sofa which was like sleeping on a cloud in comparison shock

Can anyone explain why it is that no matter how much shower gel, shampoo and conditioner I use I still smell of chlorine after being in the swimming pool?

GA grin. I have that problem too. Why does the smell of chlorine only remove itself once you are at home in your own shower or bath?. Perhaps the cozzie needs to be removed - I am too coy to remove mine in public shock. Perhaps it has something to do with the heat and atmosphere in a pool area..

Just caught a cold from my youngest grandson. Had flu injections but it can't cope with a common cold. Head feels awful. There should be a cure,sad.

A Nobel Prize and canonisation wouldn't be good enough for the scientist who developed a vaccine for the common cold!

Anybody else had grandchildren with the Hand foot and mouth virus?Whole family meeting up this weekend and DS1 has just rung to say DGs has it....should he come?

DGD had it aged 2 and was really very unwell, she passed it to her father who wasn't as bad but did feel ill. I believe it is quite contagious. Hope the wee one isn't too badly affected.

My son did when he was about 2. He was a bit under the weather miserable but never really unwell.
