AB Side Ward

[Robinia]

I think it's going to be too late for a BiddyBank so can we have a side-ward instead please?
I'm sitting here, bleary eyed, in my rocking chair with a tartan blanket around my hunched shoulders sipping a hot toddy - oops sorry - a Lemsip, feebly typing this with one hand & mopping my fevered brow with the other. 
We'll be very good, honest, & we won't rattle the bedpans at night...or complain about the food....   

[shaneystar]

Oh poor you ! Hope you soon feel better.
Nothing worse than having to sit about in ones tartan blanket!!
Mind you the weather is not good ,cold and damp here today in Norfolk. I had two teeth out this week and had to resort to my hot water bottle !
We'll leave Vinny to rattle the bed pans !!

[Robinia]

Thanks shaney, sorry to hear you've been at the mercy of the dreaded dentist!

I thought Vinny could be in charge of the Medication trolley...cough...cough...oh do excuse me. Ed can send in a banned CBer to do the pans as punishment.
Maybe FP would like to make a comeback & be matron....?

Hello Robinia I think a Biddybank wasn't such a bad idea. It seems to have been forgotten. Mind you I may even be too old for that! :o)

Do you live somewhere near E.M. Airport? I remember you saying you lived S.E of Derby.

[Robinia]

Not that far out Jude - about a mile or so, as the crow flies, from Elvaston Castle.

Don't worry, I'm sure you're not too old.... just as long as you're breathing!

[shaneystar]

Oh no ..not Vinny in charge of the medication..he would be dosing us up with bottles of Becks. I think it had better me..
Whisky and cheese on toast ...... ..much better for colds..well the whisky anyway !!
Where are Hattie Jacques and James Robertson Justice when you need them? Oooooooh Matron!!

[netibiza]

Ah bless Robinia I was thus afflicted last weekend and still have a streaming nose and cold sore. Don't know about rattling the bedpans, my problem would be sitting on the damned things.  I'll be more sedate and have a commode. Get well soon. xx

[Jude123]

Sorry to go off the thread a bit Robinia - we could be neighbours!! I know Elvaston Castle very well!!

[Robinia]

shaney I thought Vinny's remedies might be easier to take than those jumping bean things or worse, those....erm.... no, don't think about it.

Thanks neti, we'll get you a warm one!

Jude you're not that woman who falls out of cabs on my front at all hours are you...? ;-)

(Probably going to get our varicose veins slapped for chatting but it's too noisy in CB, my head hurts)

[Robinia]

Well I though we could keep on trying Vinny until we come up with an idea they like the sound of. :-) 

[VINNY100_2]

The EDs been very quiet lately Robinia..I think she is going to spring a suprise on us....(why does everybody assume the eds a lady?)...arh...it couldnt be FP.....lets spread the rumour....!id love to bring round the jolly trolly...and serve you all drinks...as long as the matron isnt watching...!

[Robinia]

Mmm....you could be onto something there - one minute FP was campaigning for BiddyBank & the next minute she'd gone....very strange...

A medicinal brandy please..

[netibiza]

[mullein3]

[netibiza]

ooooooohh  move over in that bed Robinia - netti coming through.  Had a bit of a party last night, now blood presure is soaring through the roof.  Give Vinny my order for brekkie, lunch and dinner and don't kick me.  zzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Robinia]

Oh heck mullein not another disaster - tartan blanket on it's way, sorry about the dog hairs, charlie slept on it last night.  All the best for the hospital appt.today (?)

It's ok thanks Vinny, thought I'd try to turn this lurgy in our favour. I'm going to be singing 'Right said Fred' all day now! Oh sorry neti, forgot about your head....

Did Babs Windsor just walk in?

[netibiza]

Think she just walked out...............

[Jude123]

Hi Robinia been to bed and work since I lasted posted. Back to Elvaston Castle and drunken biddy, not me I'm not her pleased to say. I'm near  The Lodge but don't go in there! 

[Robinia]

Aha! So it'll be you that buys all the cakes in Birds then Jude....??
