Thank you as always to our treasured benefactor soop.
Hot chocolate and warm muffins await, cushions plumped and fire stoked.

cornergran Mon 24-Nov-25 22:57:55

Well done that man! I’m so pleased for you both fgt. Rest well tonight.

Beechnut Mon 24-Nov-25 22:57:41

I’m always pleased to see an appearance of Dixon as I scroll down as it usually means your/himself have had a better day FGT. xx

Sending love and hugs to SueD Dragonfly Blossoming The Soops FGT’s and anyone else I’ve missed who might need a virtual hug.
I don’t post regularly but do try and ‘check-in’ most evenings to check we’re all doing ‘ok’.
Soop’s ethos is right you know- you kitcheners are a lovely lot, the kitchen is a lovely ‘place to be’ and I feel very happy to be a part of it- and I send grateful thanks to Soop for it. x 😘

Better & brighter news tonight, FGT, thinking of you & our other friends here with added worries. x

Jaxjacky Mon 24-Nov-25 22:18:47

A quick hello, just in from quiz.
It’s cold out there, saw two gritter lorry’s.
Better news FG%T 🤞
You’re having a tough time Sue your poor boys, time together will be healing for them, take care of yourself.
No news from dragonfly and I too am concerned about Blossoming.

kittylester Mon 24-Nov-25 22:14:59

Exactly what dragonfly said. So lovely to hear.

dragonfly46 Mon 24-Nov-25 22:08:54

Wonderful post FGT we are all routing for you.

Grandmadinosaur Mon 24-Nov-25 22:07:29

So pleased to hear Himself is feeling better today FGT but sadly he won’t be happy with the football result !
I just asked DH what the score was. My dear friend lost her husband on Friday and when I asked DH what the score was he said that one was for Ian. He was an Evertonian. 💐

‘Evening All’.

I’m so much lighter in spirit tonight. Himself looked (and sounded) SO much better on the ward today. I’m joyous!

When his brother (my wingman these past two and a half years) came to visit it was wonderful to observe them chatting and yes, laughing together! Himself gets on really well with his 2 brothers - they all share the same SOH and bat off one another.

When we left, Himself was setting up his iPad and ear buds to watch the Man. Utd match on SKY. Just marvellous. I must check the score as he will quite probably phone me when it’s finished.

SueD I hope your son soon gets offered the treatment he needs so urgently. He will be pleased to have his brother visit him. Is it America? (I have the retentive memory of a goldfish these days). And where is Blossoming? She hasn’t posted for a while of late. I’m concerned as she had begun to post regularly again.

👋 to ALL in the quiet corner tonight. Life can be very challenging at times.

Finally, thank you to all of you helping me with my wobble last night. The love and support in soops kitchen is second to none. This thread will be soops legacy in years to come I imagine. I do hope she and her darling man are having a smooth evening, content in the company and love for one another. The price of which is greater than rubies isn’t it? x

Thank you, lovely people. Your kind thoughts are appreciated. ❤️

BlueSapphire Mon 24-Nov-25 18:04:52

So sorry to read that FGT2's dear man is back in hospital, and pray it isn't too long before he's back home again. Dare I say I know the feeling having trod the same path? Thinking of them both and sending hugs

brook2704 Mon 24-Nov-25 18:03:44

So sorry to hear your latest news fgt thinking of you both ❤️
Also so lovely that your DS2 is going out to visit his brother SueD I hope it does them both good, sorry to hear about the sad situation with your mum too

Grannmarie Mon 24-Nov-25 12:46:04

I'm so sorry to read that Himself is in hospital, and that the trial was not offered to SueD's dear son. Hoping and praying that things improve soon for both of them.

Sending love and prayers for all who need/ wish them. I remembered you at Mass this morning. ❤️🕯🙏

Thinking of FGT, SueD, Dragonfly, MrSoop and all who are worried about their loved ones.

hulahoop Mon 24-Nov-25 11:24:18

Sorry to hear your news Fgt hope oh much improved today.
Neine that must have been very upsetting and well done for how you dealt with it.
SueD hope your son gets something different offered.
Thinking of all going through turbulent times.

mamaa Mon 24-Nov-25 09:17:27

So sorry to read that Mr FGT is in hospital. Sending hugs and prayers and hope that the antibiotics do the trick and he’s home again soon. x

flowers For FGT and sued

TillyTrotter Mon 24-Nov-25 07:52:11

For sued keep strong 🙏

dragonfly46 Mon 24-Nov-25 07:41:25

So sorry to hear about your DH FGT hopefully the antibiotics will kick in fast and he will be back home.

cornergran Sun 23-Nov-25 22:49:39

I’m so sorry fgt. Love and a hug to you and your courageous man. I hope the morning brings reassuring news.

You’re juggling a lot sued. White lights are already installed in our back garden, I call them my winter lights, they cheer me when I’m gloomy. It won’t be long before some creep into the conservatory. The reflections are just magical.

Those large tables are invariably difficult utbb, you did well to go.

Night, night sleep tight everyone.

merlotgran Sun 23-Nov-25 22:48:52

So sorry to read your latest news, FGT. I hope there is some improvement for you DH tomorrow. Try and get as much rest as you possibly can.
Hope tomorrow is a better day.

Grran Sun 23-Nov-25 22:37:39

Just found the kitchen and have been catching up.

FGT2 I am so sorry to read your news. May tomorrow bring you both peace and hope.

Neine, my heart broke for you. Sending you a hug. So glad that you can lean on your faith.

Ladyleftfieldlover Sun 23-Nov-25 22:33:17

Just seen your post FGT2 . I’m so sorry for you both. As others have said, tomorrow is another day.🪻🌹🪻

Redcar Sun 23-Nov-25 22:30:46

So sorry to hear about your DH fgt and sincerely hope the antibiotics will work their magic overnight and he will feel a bit better in the morning. Sending you a hug.
sueD a worrying time for you too, I hope that things will improve soon.
Night night everyone, I hope that you all manage to get some sleep

GrandmaC47 Sun 23-Nov-25 22:15:10

gillgran Sun 23-Nov-25 22:06:14
