The weekend is here!!!!!!! No radiotherapy for two days but unfortunately today I woke feeling a little nauseus and with a headache - hoping its just hormone levels as I really don't want to be put on steroids if I can avoid it. Despite my humorous blogs last week, it was kinda crap.......we are feeling the 'financial pressure' of having cancer. I only worked part-time before my seizure, 3 hours a day in a pre-school, I loved it but the money was poop and I didnt earn enough to pay National Insurance. So apparently I am eligable for Income Support or whatever they call it, the only benefit I may be able to get is Disability Thingamajiggy when my SSP runs out in June. Oh and I am not supposed to get stressed during treatment LMAO Anyway I am sure others have had worse stories and I dont wanna harp on about money - tis the root of all evil (unless I win the lottery that is LOL).......my eldest has been saving his cash up for a new computer, he had my old one thats flipping ancient! It was his birthday Tuesday and after we added another £150, he bought a super duper new one. Hubby bought a new wireless bit cos of course it was no longer compatible, but our N1 router kept freezing and throwing him and Sean's laptop offline. You can imagine his dismay......finally gets a new computer that he doesnt have to peddle to run and still can't do anything. So off to PC World today with router and receipt and explain it doesnt work properly. The man came back and said they only had the next one up in stock - we were preparing ourselves for another cash outlay when he says its £15 cheaper.......couldn't bloody believe it!!!!!!!!!! Happy surfing family now.......zipping along. We came home to install it before we headed (no pun intended) off to Ware to visit another wig shop. This one was recommended to me by my lovely macmillan lady. The owners daughter got alapocia at 16 and after finding nowhere that really catered for her, they set up Hair To Ware. They only deal with ladies with either hairloss through chemo treatment and alopecia, they are not a fashion wig store. I didn't want to book an appointment because even when it says "no obligation" I always feel pressured and preferred to just walk in unannounced and get a feel for the place. The receptionist was fabulous, made us feel right at home and showed us around and explained what they do and how they do it. End result, I am going back on Wednesday to try me some hair out!!!!!! What with my pamper day next month and new hair Hubby was joking I will look like a supermodel - hmmmm more like Barbie if she had eaten for the last 40 years maybe LOL Hubby even picked a few wigs out that HE liked........blimey getting worried, he's never been the sort to get "in touch with his feminine side" if you know what I mean ;) Had a wander round the garden centre and bought a couple of new plants for the garden, told Hubby that I expect him to buy a beautiful magnolia or blossoming tree in memory of me after I have moved on to annoy another plane (imagine me as a ghost LMAO) he just tutted and wandered off. He actually confided in me that some of the adults were chatting about wedding anniversaries last night at karate, it was one of our friends 44th! and said that it actually upset him.......again, very worrying, not like him at all and I decided it was best not to try and joke around that one! So, we have some gardening to do later and I have heaps of washing to get on with while the sun shines. Not a particulary humorous or funny blog today - but hey, even funny folks need time out......I am sure by Monday I will be back on form........dont dessert me, I haven't lost it honest ;) Todays quote: "Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
