    Things not going too well FC? Well, you've come to the right place then. Pull up a seat, have a good moan and tell us all about it.

    Can't promise we'll be listening though - but don't let that stop you. :biggrin:

      I'm just about to pour a drink. I've been spring cleaning since before 7 this morning and was a good girl and only stopped twice for 10 minute cuppa breaks. :) only got the main floor done though... tomorrow - onward and upstairs ...

      I've made some maple fudge. Here, have a piece. :)

        Been a rough day @Trunky - saw a consultant at hospital today regarding an eye problem, and it has opened a massive can of worms. Suffice to say, my eyes are fine, and I am awaiting a brain scan.

        Got a call this afternoon to attend hospital again tonight (they are not hanging about, which worries me a bit!) for the scan, but the machine broke down whilst I was in it, so I now have to wait.

        So yeah, kinda pooping myself at the moment.

            Blimey @fat controller , sounds like you really did have a rough day. Hope the news is better when you do eventually have the scan.

            Sorry if my last post came across as a bit flippant mate, this is what happens when I drink - I tend to get verbal diarrhoea and put my foot in it.

            Seriously though, I really hope things turn out ok for you.

              Nah, not filppant at all mate - a bit of good humour is just what I need :)

                @fat controller I hope they are just being over cautious.

                I had a nasty scare once years ago and it turned out to be something small. Have a piece of my special fudge. It'll take the edge off :)

                  I really hope so @CanadianLori - your fudge sounds as though it could take the edge off just about anything (I love Maple Syrup!). I have a feeling that I would love Canada.....

                    My fudge also has medicinal ingredients. Don't eat it and drive :)

                      I'm sure you would @fat controller. We've been to Canada twice, for two memorable holidays. It's a beautiful country, with the friendliest people you could wish to meet, great wildlife and jaw-dropping scenery wherever you go.

                      Maple fudge? Yes please Lori!! I absolutely love that stuff. It always reminds me of our first trip to Canada back in 2012.
                      We bought some maple fudge (after sampling a considerable amount first of course) to take home with us and stashed it away in Mrs Trunky's suitcase for the remainder of the holiday.

                      It was while we were staying in a beautiful remote log cabin near Clearwater in British Columbia that we discovered we weren't the only ones who liked maple fudge - during the night a mouse found its way into the suitcase and feasted on the fudge! Not content with that, it also tried some chewing gum and nibbled through the earpiece wires on Mrs Trunky's ipod. :hate-shocked:

                            I have a sweet tooth so I enjoy cooking candies and pies and cookies and.......

                            I weigh myself at least every fortnight because years ago I let things get out of hand and I looked like somebody had pulled the rip cord. My butt was an axe handle wide or better. Now when I get more than 5 pounds up, I back off for a little while. Went to a chocolate making seminar once. Had nothing to show at the end of the lesson because I ate all mine :)
