The Weekly Friday Feast

I am bringing buttered popcorn, i think i will watch a movie later, and i like pop corn

oh no @Rosie - colds are so annoying!

I'm big on lemon & ginger in hot water when I have a cold. I'm not sure if it actually works, but it hot water at least warms me up!

Hi Rosie.

I've never known anyone yet, unless they had a medical condition, that didn't love that choc chip banana cake. I once gave a piece to my son and his (then) girlfriendand they said they really liked it. When we were out at the car saying our goodbyes, almost as an after thought he asked if he could "grab" a bit more cake to take home. I said yes and told him where he could find a container to put a couple of slices in. He ducked back inside and soon returned with a large ice cream container that I couldn't see though.

Yep. You guessed it. I went inside after they'd gone only to discover just a small piece of cake on the plate! I won't fall for that one again!!

As for the recipe, it would take awhile, but I am prepared to let our member on here have a copy. I'll type it into MS Word and hopefully I can copy and paste to this medium. I notice some things I can't.

That's so nice @Ellie! Don't worry about the recipe too much, it just sounds awesome!

@NikNik yeah ginger and lemon would absolutely work, ginger good for the belly and lemon a natural losenger? I'll google it...

@kato perfect movie watching popcorn!

Hi all

I turned a can of sweetened condensed milk into caramel lol so i'll bring that!

I managed to write a first draft of an application for a job for next year this week. Have sent it to my old boss to have a look at and get some feedback, feeling sick about it and terrified of the thought of going back to work (even if its 8 months away!) but kind of proud of myself for being able to use my brain to form a bunch of words into sentences and paragraphs that hopefully make sense.

What's other people been up to?

Nice work @Former-Member - I find job applications quite daunting

@everyone - I was just reading @Used2Be 's discussion about pets. Some of you may have mentioned this before, but does anyone here have a pet/s?

@kato what's the movie of choice tonight?

My wonderful dog saved my life and helped me get better. I was in a very poor state when I got him, very unwell, but he helped me through. He kept me company when I was ill, and keeps me company now. He is happy to see me when I get home and he loves being on the couch with me, and walking.

I might go over to that page and have a read.

@Rosie You can find the discussion here . I hope to hear more about your puppy there (regardless of age, they will always be our puppies 🙂 )

i haven't decided yet, might go for a bit of action i think, or sci fi...... about to have a look now, have a great evening all, and if i don't see you beforehand have a great weekend too

Thanks for the Friday Feast. I really enjoyed it.

I have just come to a realisation however. I enjoy my time on the forums, but I think I have to go get 'out there' as I have been procrastinating doing for a long time. I just want you to know my posts were always in good faith, hoping to be helpful. That's essentially how I wanted to use the forums. When the poll happened with 'what do you want out of the forums' - to tell you the truth I never was quite sure because I was always coiming from the recovered perspective, but with a desire to connect and be helpful

This is a wonderful thing, this forum. I felt safe and accepted and that's a credit to everyone on here.

Thankyou for having me, I think now its time for me to go and join a netball team and the social club at work. Stuff that has been on my to do list, but I keep coming back to my memories of being ill. I don't know how I will go, but I will do my best (I just have to let go of my belief that I people think I am weird) and get on with it.

You have listened and helped me on my journey in the forums, especially @kristin, @Alessandra1992, @Crazy_Bug_Lady, @kenny66 @PeppiPatty, @kato, @Former-Member and @NikNik, @CherryBomb

Take care 🙂

And hope for the next step into the 'real world' continues...

Rosie
