[Lie-in King]

Yes, Chambers has 'Roopit' :-)

8a Seeled

5d - I have found both roopit and roopie. Must be this month's take-your-pick answer.

Apologies to Rose - I should've refreshed...

[Rose Maybud]

Not at all, glad to have my answer confirmed by an expert!

BTW, how is Anne?

[Lie-in King]

With apologies to 08012006 for the extra posts...

Thank you so much for asking - I'm going to post a thread when she's had her last bout of chemo, but for now, the lymph & liver cancers are showing signs of reduction - YAY!

She's very tired, with horrid mouth ulcers that are stopping her from eating/drinking properly - after my advice (where was her doc?), she's got some Bonjela which is helping no end!

[Rose Maybud]

May I crave indulgence for a few minutes longer to reply?


My son had mouth ulcers after his chemo - the docs can prescibe assorted mouthwashes which help - main thing is that it doesn't last for ever! But good news indeed on the reduction of activity.


Apologies to 08012006 for hijacking the thread, and I wish you luck with your entry :)

And 9d is Epanalepsis. And for what it's worth, I prefer Roupit. Roupie sounds more like a noun, to my ear.

[Aquagility]

Sorry, Roo, not Rou - in both words. Senior moment!
