Soop’s always open and very welcoming kitchen.

Happy time! I've just got back from my first cardio appointment in FOUR YEARS. Hospital being re-built, utter chaos, took 40 mins to find a parking spot, then had a 10-minute walk around the outside, up & down stairs, long corridors badly signposted, and which idiot decided to place the cardio unit so far from the entrance? The happy part? He's signed me off! I'm now officially without a heart problem. Worth all the hassle getting there! I thanked him so profusely that he coloured up, right over his ears, bless him. Feeling very perky for the first time in ages.

Dear UsedToBeBlonde, I had no idea that you had opened a new kitchen. How thoughtful of you. I have just this minute opened a new kitchen. What do we do? I wonder if my messages can be incorporated into this forum? Any suggestions will be most welcome.

You are a good Deputy utbb. Come back when your friend has gone to be cheered up.

I've made chilli and cheese scones and brought some butter as they need loads - well, they don't really but any excuse.

Good afternoon everyone 🥰, I've brought lentil soup and crusty bread, I've just had some for lunch!
I'm popping out now, I have my hair and nails appointments this afternoon, but I shall return later.
UsedToBeBlonde, I feel your pain, I have a similar friend, but I have a tip to share to protect you from the negativity.
I'll be back. 👍TOYA.

Thanks for opening this sparkling new kitchenUtbb. You don’t need friends like that but your a very kind lady.💐
I bring pain aux raisins to go with morning coffee. Hoping for the real thing next week.

I'm adding mini chocolate cupcakes courtesy of Aldi. The boys love them (grandma does too). It's brightened up here. I've tidied the kitchen, got soup in the freezer, put the rubbish out and a washing is in the machine. I'm off to the school library in a while.

I forgot about the buffet! I made a marmalade and breadcrumb cake the other day. Let me know what it’s like. I’ve also got a batch of rum and ginger muffins, which I know are good!

Thank you Utbb for opening our lovely new & welcoming kitchen.
I hope Mr&MrsSoop are soon back with us.

Thanks for opening the kitchen Utbb. I have put some fresh fruit scones out for everyone. Hope to hear from Soops soon.

Good morning everyone.
You are very welcome, we must have a lovely kitchen in which to meet up

Lady lfl so sorry about your brother because I think you had all your plans made to fly out there for the celebrations.
I hope everyone is feeling well today.

I took a Nytol last night and although I was still awake at midnight I have only just woken up.
Oh the shame!!

I must shake myself up as my neighbour comes after lunch for coffee and cake.
When I went to her last week she wasn’t well, a usual thing , and she didn’t want coffee herself so we had a glass of Bailey’s at 2.30 pm!!
That won’t be repeated today.

I must confess something here, I don’t look forward to Wednesday afternoon, my friend brings me down with her negativity and can only talk about her family.

My family think I should not meet her but I would feel so guilty as I am the only person she sees , her family all live a distance away.
My GD says the it is all very well me cheering her up but it is at cost to me.

I hope our “hostess “ is soon able to join us in her lovely kitchen, I am sure we will leave it sparklingly clean and tidy for her.

Thank you utbb a grand opening.
Worrying times for you llfl detracting from the excitement of your new car, enjoy finding your way round it today.
👋👋 to the soops who I hope are now a little back to normal.
WI tonight, knitting squares, I shall turn up with needles, wool and a lost look on my face hoping someone is patient.

Good morning to all who visit the kitchen. It's a lovely day here blue skies and sunshine.
I am meeting up with friends today should be a good laugh.

Thanks for opening the new kitchen UTBB.
I shall be reading as usual but posting seldom.
Meanwhile I'm sending kind thoughts to all those with health, personal or family troubles and hope to hear good news from them soon.

Love the new decor UTBB.
I hope Soop will find us soon.

TOYA

Thanks for the new kitchen. I hope all of us, and particularly the Soops, are well.

I've just heard that my brother in Australia has cancelled his 70th birthday lunch next month due to ill health . He ended up in hospital yesterday with a suspected heart attack, but has several other issues. Sorry to bring despair into the kitchen.

Thank you UTBB. I hope The Soops are ok.
