Soop's kitchen refuge for the sharing of...

Hi all in this warm kitchen.

I’m sorry to hear your sad news Soop, I hope you and your sons are all ok.

My friend’s niece’s boyfriend has made a full recovery, which is a blessing.

I have got my paints out lately and have been painting cats. I will try and post a photo at a later date.

Right now I am having a much needed hot toddy and there are more for you all to share.

Stay safe and take care all my lovely friends. X

I took the plunge last night and cut my hair. Not quite Vidal Sassoon standard but it looks okay to me.

My Morrisons delivery is coming later- I do not know what part of the words "no substitutions" they do not understand, especially when zilch can be returned.

soop a very difficult time for you at present.

Susan young Henry is bouncing back to his normal smiley self but that was unforgivable.

callgirl at least the pain is controllable- I hope you are feeling better now.

So sorry to hear your news soop how sad for your sons and his wife.
My friend’s husband has dementia and she is fearful of getting the virus. She has been tested twice.

Good news about Henry.

Pleased you your DH had a good consultation with the GP and maybe it would be worth contacting your GP Dreamcatcher.

Dexter’s cone is coming off today. I am so excited! I will be able to brush him properly.

Huzzah Dragonfly! What a relief for you, MrD and Henry! We have a tyre with only-just-legal tread which has to be replaced. DiL wrote off their car so they are borrowing ours until they can get a replacement. We have an appointment this afternoon to get a new one fitted. What excitement!
Have a good day everyone. Enjoy the sun Urmston!

Nannytopsy,yes my daughter in laws mother has made a complaint to the delicatessen.She is a lovely lady but not to be messed with!I just hope they realise how serious their error was.

dragonfly,a very exciting day for you and Dexter.I’m so glad he has made a full recovery??

Charley,well done on cutting your hair??‍♀️??I am cutting my husbands hair on Saturday if the hair clippers arrive.I don’t know who’s more nervous.I watched a YouTube video yesterday but am non the wiser!

Thinking of you and your sons soop?

Susan I cut my DH’s hair with the clippers. First it was too long so I did it again and now he has less hair than me ?.

I used the clippers on DH susan56 it's not too difficult. I gave him a number 2 all over. He told me that I was a bit more gentle than the barber.
One tip, we did it in the garden so the hair didn't make a mess!

I’ve not been posting but I have been reading and just wanted to say how sorry I am to hear about your ex, Soop. It must be a great weight for you and your sons to carry at the moment.?
Nothing much to report from Duster Towers. Best regards to all kitcheners.

Thinking of you soop and your DSs, difficult times at present

Good tip to cut his hair in the garden Pittcity.
dragonfly??
Will let you know how I get on??‍♂️

I cut my youngest sons hair on Sunday and he is chuffed to bits with it. I did offer to do DH but he ran like hell!

Sending love to Soop and of course all my lovely friends on this wonderful site.

I’ve brought along some banana loaf and there will be some Spaghetti Bolognese for later. See you all tonight for the hot toddies and wine - oh and the cheese board will be there as well.

Stay safe.x

My son phoned at breakfast time. His father died twenty minutes earlier. He took off his mask, tried to stand outside the bed and that was it. His brother is to tell his step mother. He won't be allowed inside the house. His step sister will accompany him. She will have carers with her indoors.

I met my ex when I was 14 (he was 21). We married when I was 18. We have remained good friends. Our two sons are a fitting legacy.

MacSporran was holding my hand during the conversation over the phone. We have all agreed that it as if a leaden weight has been lifted from our hearts. For the last three years, poor health and dementia have taken their toll on the quality of his life.

I haven't read your updates. I most certainly intend doing so. I may well return this afternoon for a group (((hug)))

So sorry Soop but as you say, a weight has been lifted. ?

soop so sorry to hear that news but as you said the quality of life would have been poor if he had survived.

Dear Soop a very difficult time indeed,heart break comes in so many ways and this affects your own family very much.I am sure your initial thoughts are for your sons,whilst also remebering other better times spent with your ex.However when such events happen we also have to realise that living with zilch quality of life is not living at all.So much to drink in and consider.However rest assured our loving thoughts are with you and how lovely hearing dear MacS is there alongside you,helping and loving you through these darker waters.
Hopefully the relief ahead will outweigh everything else.
Much love dear Soop

Dear soop. How very sad. He gave you two lovely sons, a gift. Let McSporran love you and look after you especially gently.

I have cut my hair. I cannot see the sides or back. I can see the front! There will be no looking in the mirror and I will be wearing a hat for some time. It is short.

I'm so sad for you and for your sons. But it does sound as if, for the three of you at least, there'll be no grieving mixed with bitterness or anger, or mourning for a huge part of your life which you wish you hadn't wasted.

Imagine knowing someone for all that time, imagine having two wonderful sons to share and who know their father and still see him. Imagine still being good friends! It says a great deal about you as a person, soop. Then you finally know that he's found peace when his life, his health and his mind has deteriorated and he no longer has the quality of life which he deserves. You must have some lovely memories and you've a wonderful Mr Mac who can share all that and understand what this morning has brought to you.

Hoping so much the you can take some comfort from the relief that he's no longer struggling. Your lovely sons are there and a wonderful legacy, as you say.

Sending all good wishes and a massive hug to you, and every sympathy to his widow and his children on such a very sad day.

Soop
So sorry xx

So sad for you and your sons Soop, look after yourself. Only post occasionally and too much to comment on a TOYA.

My ex husband at the time that I met him.

About to tackle the ironing. Will return to you lovely lot later this afternoon. x

I’m so sorry Soop for your sad loss and for the loss of your son’s dad. He was a good looking lad when you met him.

Be kind to yourself and come to us at any time for hugs and warm words.
