I have come to this conclusion in light of the many and horrific events that have been going on on here in the past few days/weeks. skezier is going thro hell somewhere in Cornwall, dorcas is going thro hell somewhere in Scotland, dachshund has had a tricky time lately, Rob was gong thro hell over Christmas but could now probably do with a top-up of TLC, julie47 is awaiting surgery that none of us has had, theresa4 has a rash, cherrybim and bobbyger have both been under various surgeon's knives this week, alarkra and trasluvie are still not sure what the hell is going on, similar with BoleynBlue, salamander had gate and fridge problems, poppyg1rl had her first draining/steroiding and a birthday yesterday, del hasn't been sleeping, nanasue has a nasty infection and me? Well, I think you will all agree I am by far and away the winner here: I have a very nasty cold. So. . . . . .

It's time to spring-clean mellman's shed (oooops, sorry, workshop) and get in copious supplies of fresh straw. Airwave can re-stock the bar (he needs a new bar maid, BTW, any volunteers?), livinglegend ( our estimable surgeon who has 'sorted' an ankle and a big toe earlier this week) can supply new paintings for the walls, frogmorton is back form her hols, so can 'woman' the tea trolley whilst sporting a small white bikini to show off her tan, it strikes me that barbara12, tillytop and caterina57 will make excellent nurses and tjt (once recovered from a difficult situation) will be the new 'face' of our very own M.A.S.H. Radio! SORTED OR WHAT? :grin: We will all be better much faster with this arrangement than our current one of everyone struggling in their own homes. To infinity and beyond! (Well, mell's shed, oooops, sorry, workshop). DD

(If I have omitted anyone in the trials and tribulations bit I apologise. Send me a PM, reminding me what's been gong on, and I will put you in!)

    del, I have dug up an old chaise longue so you can recline in comfort - I will allocate a nurse in due course once I have done some auditions to see who has the most soothing singing voice.

    coco? Of course you can come in, I will find a lovely sunny corner for you and send frog round with the tea. You may also have a chocolate hob-nob from my private stash. DD

    Ye gods! del has swooned on his chaise longue, mell's eyes are out on stalks, livinglegend sounds just like Lesley Phillips ('ding dong!), Rob's turned pink and scuttled out, airwave's having a restorative brandy (or five) and all the women are sulking.

    Oh frog, it's good to have you back! :grin:

    OK gemmapetken, you are the barmaid. I have a suitable top here - yes, I know, slashed to the waist is a little trashy but you have the required chesticles that merit such a display. Just make sure that Airwave doesn't drop too many glasses (or anything else for that matter).

    Right, del, I have found you a chanteuse for the lullabies, Bonnie Tyler will be pitching up in due course. What do you mean, not soothing enough, you want Eva Cassidy? You can't, she ain't about (for a very good reason) and Ms Tyler is cheap. We don't have that much money to splash about, you know. DD

    Hi all

    Just leaving some hot soup for those who can face it. The nurses uniforms may have woken a few up with some interest. :lol:

    and some comfort teddy bears for those who need to rest.

    Of course you can - just keep an eye on the men's BPs tho, please! (I think you should have been on the in-patient list, tkachev, sorry. :oops: but as you were out and about yesterday I guess you are on the up!)

    chris7, thank you for the soup and teddies - the cuddly variety that is, most of us would not look that good in the lingerie version (well, I know I wouldn't! )

    traluvie, pills with water first, then the soup. Get back into bed now, there's a good girl. You will be allowed up when we know what's going on with you. DD

    Rob, you are a boy so what's your problem with the empty six pint milk bottle I left by your bed? (Obviously I widened the top for you.)

    traluvie, I will get Nurse Caterina57 onto you ASAP (she's propping up the bar at the moment, she's had a tough morning.) DD

    DD,

    Nothing wrong with using an empty 6 pint milk bottle, but with the amount of tea and coffee my mother has been giving me, I'll need more then 1. :grin:

    Barbara! BARBARA! Good grief Penfold. :shock: I really don't know what to say or where to look. Blimey.

    Right Rob, you're sorted: yer mum can empty the bottle as and when, as long as she doesn't confuse the contents with other liquids elsewhere. As you are her ikkle-wikkle babber boy I am sure she won't mind.

    I think everyone else is tucked up, nice and warm and enjoying an afternoon nap, so that means it's time to wake 'em all up and do the afternoon meds round. :grin: That's the whole point, isn't it? Rest? Sleep? Recuperate? I think not. DD
