Hi all

Elk is closest to Venison in taste

We're going away again on Tuesday ............... up to the cabin for about a week.

Sometimes Mothercare is inside other stores Mo.

Hi Mummo, many thanks for letting me know about Mothercare. I would have to buy them online, as our local shop closed some time ago. The only problem with that is not knowing if the sizing was right.
I think I will take a look and see where the closest shop to us is. I'm not sure if there is one in Maidstone, or Bluewater so will take a look in a minute.
Thanks once again. xxx

Hi Mo, just been reading this thread as l usually do and noticed you said about girls pyjamas, you can buy them in mothercare, not cheap but really pretty ones, x

Do you know what Ann, it wouldn't surprise me to know that they manufacture them smaller now, so that they get more sales. By skimping on the material, the childrens toes soon go through things like baby grows and.
And as for childrens shoes these days, they cost as much as an adult shoe, in some shops.
When my children were young, we always bought either Clarkes, Barratts or Dolcis shoes.
Do you remember when they used to take photo's/ xray's of childrens feet, to ascertain what size and width they needed. Gone are those days.

Hi, Thank you Sylvia and I am pleased that you enjoyed your meal. It sounds lovely and unusual. Is Elk gamy like deer or milder like lamb?

What a nice gesture about the food as well.

Mo, all these babies seem so much bigger these days. Our granddaughter has always been in larger clothes than her age. She is now 9 and is in 10/11 year old clothes.

Good afternoon girls.
Another glorious day here in Kent,it's very warm but beautiful out in the garden.

Oooh Sylvia, what does Elk taste like, is it the equivalent of any other kind of meat that we may perhaps know about.
How nice that the owner of the restuarant is going to give you a lovely food basket,for after your proceedure. You can both go off somewhere nice, and just relax, and enjoy each others company.

We went to visit baby Lilly yesterday. I can't believe how much she is growing. They have had to buy her clothes for a 12/18 month old.She is only 7months old, so she's going to be a big girl.
She had managed to poke her toes through her baby grows. I had wanted to buy her some pyjamas, but couldn't find any anywhere, so had to get baby grows again.
I didn't realise it would be hard to find pjamas, especially in her size and age catagory.
I always think that babies are treated like a bag of spuds, when parents are throwing them around, changing there little bottoms. Pjamas are so much easier, and I much prefer them.

I hope you are all o.k. Love to you all. Mo xxx

Sylvia, so pleased that you and OH had a good time at the restaurant last night. The food you had sounds delicious....don't know what elk tastes like but have had halibut a couple of times and really enjoyed it.


That was very kind of the owner of the restaurant and will be something to look forward to when you get home after the operation.


Take care,


Love, Sallie.xxx

We had a super time last night.

I think I have said before, that it is far from cheap, but the food, and the service is soooooo good.


Last night, I had elk on a bed of wild rice, with a blueberry sauce. It was yummy!!


OH had a piece of halibut ............. which he said was very very good.



The owner, who we know quite well, was in, and came over to talk to us several times.


At the end, after we had paid, he came over again to say good night.

I said how good a night it had been, especially after the horrible week ............. and told him about the diagnosis.

He hugged me, gave me a kiss on the cheek ............ and then told OH that OH MUST contact him when the time comes, and they will GIVE us a basket of food. Apparently they make up these baskets, and you can buy them for picnics or dinners at home ............ but we would not be asked to pay!


Wasn't that nice of him??

Sylvia, sending you lots of positive thoughts for September 20th. Hope all goes well and that it will be sorted for good. As Mo and Ann has already said, we are all here for you.


Hope you and OH enjoyed your anniversary meal out last night at your favourite restaurant.


Speak to you all soon.


Love to everyone. Sallie.xxx

Thank you for good wishes and cards.

We have not done anything really exciting. We went to Cheltenham as we often do on the bus. I bought some knickers with money daughter gave me. Son and family have given me hobbycraft vouchers so I shall spend them next weekend when we go to Hampshire. Sister has put money in my account so I shall spend that when I can find something. Couldn't see anything today. Had lunch in a Chinese restaurant. Shall have a bottle of wine this evening. It is in the fridge cos I put it there.

Dear Sylvia,

Sylvia I will be thinking of you on the 20th September. I had a lumpectomy on a small lump I found, it turned out to be a ball of fat with the cancer inside, could easily have been missed, surgeon said it was like an egg with the yolk inside. I didn't need any other treatment apart from Tamoxifen and I have been clear for over 14 years now, got it in other places but not breast as they say it never goes back to there.

Love Caz xx

Happy birthday Ann from down under.

Huia.

Happy Birthday Ann, are you having special celebrations,do tell....

love Jean and Jeff xxx

thank you for the good wishes Mo.

Sylvia, so at least you know now how things are going. As Mo said we will be thinking of you.

I hope that you have a lovely meal out for your anniversary.

Enjoy your meal Sylvia, but no naughty business afterwards. lol
You will be in all our thoughts and hearts on September the 20th, and if thoughts and love can heal, you will be better very quickly, after the proceedure. <3 Mo xxx
