this week I are mostly... had a headache.. can't imagine why :o)

10 minute read time.

Thought I ought to fill you in on the last few days before it becomes the mother of all blogs and you collapse from exhuastion not even half way through... not sure how funny it will be but lets take a turn aorund the lawn of Little My's last few days and see what happens along those perambulations... (Jane Austen just been unpacked)

So, last we heard, Little My  was on the naughty step, lying down not doing much. Well that lasted as long as it took me to write that blog. Sunday I did sort of behave myself and didn't move too many big things and just did a bit of this and that ahem....

Monday- Little My discovered that strong pants hold in poos as well as sausages and that it has to come out somewhere... where oh where will it go we wondered.. well I wondered, I think you lot wish I wouldn't go on about poos... Anyway, bad luck cos I'm telling you...

Out the side of baggy bag. Leak leak yuck yuck.

Twice.

And was windy lunch day so lets just gloss over the details of that episode... or should I say those episodes...

I am sure hilary could make an amusing limerick about it. At the time it was not amusing in the slightest, now it is hilarious... ha de ha. actually, still not hilarious at all. I lied. Bit of a snigger though cos it did stink and annoying colleague was queing for the bathroom after me snigger. I did not use the deodorant stuff they give you (I know, I might rot in hell, mean and all that.. don't care)

Stinker and her 'Oh behave yourself and rest and that gang' will slap me for this, butif I say it really quickly they might not notice.. IdidtoomuchatworktillIgot a headache andtookpainkillersandstayedatworkforameeting. Had to lie down for a bit ahem...

Came home and there was a letter from my favourite people apart from BT (ha ha ha) and that was npower. We have racked up a bigger debt with them than most small countries and probably a few large ones too (won't go into why or how) so part of the deal with moving was to buy a smaller cheaper house and use the left over money to pay off all the debts etc so we move and ask said company to send us a bill for what's left. They carry on taking out the monthly payment... too late blah blah eventually get than one sorted.. anyway, back to the letter... We will be taking £2400 out of your account tomorrow morning it says. What??? says Little My. I don't think so. You'll have a job cos the money is in P's account anyway ha ha. LM has a headache from not overworking so P phones them up. 45 min wait so type in your number and we'll call you back... beep f*** beep **** beep f*** is how the conversation seems to be going...

LM what's our number?? P doesn't know any of these things. He carries a note book around with him with address, postcodes, phone numbers and worse of all all his passwords, card details and pin numbers not even remotely disguised... gold credit card- pin number xxxx debit card- pin number xxxx I despair of him and just pray he never gets mugged...not likely in granny town where we live luckily.

Anyway, after I shout numbers at P and he plugs them in swearing and starting again several times.. we carry on with dinner from the shiny non gloomy cooker. Fish slice seems to be cheering up since being put in the drawer with the jolly potato masher.. lazy idle layabout that he is... must have some mash sometime before he gets too weak to do his job... Sorry, I digress.  Phone rings. Automated message saying 'this service is no longer available please try tomorrow.'. ha ha ha you lot are sooooo funny. Can't wait till tomorrow. Phone back get hold of someone instantly (?how?) and explain....

Our computers are down he says. Nothing we can do. Can't cancel the payment. I suggest you call in at your bank tomorrow morning and tell them not to authorise it...

If your computer is not working then how can it authorise payments??

Seems saying you have cancer is not the only way to conjure up tumbleweed in these parts...

 Oh never mind... it was just a thought... grrrr  grrrr etc.  my head is still thumping. Not the day for this.

The phone rings at 5 minute intervals for the next hour with the lovely computer lady telling us this service is not available anymore.

Then the bit that made me laugh. The phone rang again. It was callminder telling me I had missed a call while on the phone to the computer voice... yes you guessed it. It was the computer voice on the call minder... this service is...  aarrrggghhh.

P is a luddite (or had you guessed that already?) and only just got a computer and learnt that there is an interweb device that one can gain information from.He is rather excited about this and exceeded our broadband limit instantly downloading films...'well, you never said there was a limit or anything how was i to know? '  not cottoned on to the fact that you can do useful things like banking on it yet.  He has just about grasped the concept that one can transfer money via the telephonic device if one has one's book of numbers and passwords handy and tries not swear at the nice ladies who want to know his favourite place and doesn't know. I persuade him to phone the bank to transfer money rather than the alternative of mass murder of electricity supply employees or going massively overdrawn and having to pay fees.

I have to sit next to him to read out his numbers from his book .. why is my head hurting??

Anyway, at long last, money is transferred, npower stop ringing to tell us they are not working and we can have dinner. In the middle of this, Joe blogs about his clowns and I am ready to come right over there and punch a few of them... can't imagine why. :o)

Tuesday didtoomuchgota headachestayedtoolong. Tried to get onto macland at school, Hut of balloons is still without electricity or internet so first of all hid in meeting room but someone dared to try and have a meeting in there! Honestly! squeezed myself as far in the corner of staffroom as i could which is hard as I can't move furniture and tried again. Honestly, some poeple, just kept coming over and asking me school related questions and wanting me to do work and things...do they think I am at work or something??  commented on one blog, internet timed out and I gave up. Had the meeting from hell and came home. Phased out on the sofa. Head thumping again.  Didn't sleep.

Today I spent the morning catching up with you lovely lot and drinking nice coffee from my new machine. Had fingers crossed all morning for Ems till she texted to say she wasn't getting her results till next week... just crossed intestines left now, but they are always a bit slow on the uptake.

Oh I went in to chat!! Ever the adventurer.. I email James and admin most days with a string of questions about the new site (poor things) so when he says come on over to chat to talk about the site, how can I resist an invitation? Sunny is up and about so ask her to come and hold my hand- some mate she is.. you'r on your own she says.

 Invincible panted Little My ventures forth....

Colin who should be called Peter is there chatting away but I don't even get to see what he is saying when the screen jumps down and they are all blabbing on and lord knows who is answering who... its like they are all on speed or something.

Help! says LM. Come back later says another one. But I thought we were to come and say about the new site? Oh yeah, sorry we got distracted about Scunthorpe being censored snigger snigger. Saw the odd familiar name appear and then disappear.. it is status update chat at warp speed.. I think they disproved Einsteins theroy of relativity this morning... my head hurt so I ran away... phew. scary scary place.

Spent this afternoon walking into town, to look at hatstands. I know that is random, but that is what I did. I want one. Went to shop that sells nice things. I've got another one he says... eurrr that's hideous.. a bit 70's shrieks LM a little too loud. Oh sorry, no offence she whispers. Actually you are right he whispers back. It is a bit 70's and hideous.. someone ordered it and never took it. Can't imagine why says LM... He laughed. I like making people laugh. Job done. Will have to come back with the car for it I think. Will get a big slap if I try and carry a large hatstand taller than made out of metal home...

I paid off my credit card in full today... it was in thousands is all I am saying. between them and npower I spent £6500 this morning! How's that for a morning;s work? I like cheap houses ha ha. Not that going into shops that sell nice shiny things and an empty credit card are linked at all you understand...

Ok, before i stop blabbing on and on about nowt (and nip to the loo and get a cup of tea now if you want) I just need to do the teeniest tiniest little pyshco worry. sorry. Have to get it out or i don't sleep. Which I didn't by the way. last night I watched the playing fields for the hours between 2 and 4am. Not interesting at all I'm afraid to report. A nice crow wandered past. That was it.

I am going to see GC on Friday. Groin lymph prodding and hunt the Rolo action to be had. Sensible My says... it will all be ok. Its only been a month so nothing much can happen in that time and if he was bothered about the blood results, he would have got you in sooner.. psycho My says if it wasn't possible for things to change then he wouldn't bother checkingin a month would he? and my lymph was swollen the other day and my blood counts at the GP are abnormal with not enough white or red cells and I am still so out of breath and my bum hurts a bit.. and I am limping now eeeeeek. what if.......

Of course there are sensible reasons for all these things and I would appreciate some advice on my creaking hipsthat are almost getting to the limping stage and hot flushes and that so in one way looking forward to it... but of course as we all know, the dreaded what ifs are always lurking in the back of your mind  Psycho worry over. Wasn't too bad for me eh?

Rolos at the ready. Decided to go for medium strong pants so nothing pops out on the journey there, but not so strong that it needs  winch and a crane to play hunt the rolo.... and I am praying that he doesn't comment on my 3 pubes.. I will not be able to keep my face straight if he does (its the kind of thing he does come out with.. let's have a feel, nice groin, etc snigger snigger) 

I read a blog today where the person said that their onc had recommended she join this site. Oh dear. They have heard of it... we are in trouble now..... GCs all over the country will be running for their lives from ladies with cancer and easy access underwear! ha ha

Got to go.. got a parents meeting tonight. I want to take my class to Sweden in the summer as a goodbye trip before they leave school. Was meant to take the class this summer just gone. Had to bow out ...ungracefully I'm afraid..  Hope I can do it this year... anyway got to talk fundraising and things with them.

See you later. In celebration of my shiny new coffee machine, coffees of all descriptions are  available tonight and for those of you who are desperate (not mentioning any names) irish coffees will be allowed or mochalatteamericano type things for the rest of you. Ask Sunny, despite her protestations, she knows her mochas from her lattes...

Big hugs to you all

Little My xxx

ps Tim is having a ball.. no, not a good time, a party ball. I am very excited that I might be allowed out in public for the evening.... :o)

    Hi

    Now get that masher working - LM! 

    Much love,

    Hi :)
    I am bit hot and high temp type thing but wanted to take a feeble swipe at your legs for being naughty and giggle at the delightful Luddite :)

    Naughty 'What-If's' ... banishment indeedy! And I want a text message ASAP once seen GC, or else!

    Gaelic coffee for me please, I'm counting down the days till I can party (cycle ends 27 October - Mags 25th birthday on 28th October), so I might as well get in some light practice!

    If you're wearing easy access pants on Friday to accommodate your rolos and baggie, and want a compliment, you could always put 3pubes in a French pleat and bring a certain elegance to the proceedings. Think Audrey Tatou! Carry an espresso and have a Gitane hanging out the corner of your mouth. DON'T wear the orange fleece and borrow Cariad's purple turban, or you'll look more like Hilda Ogden!

    I'm not going to lecture you about doingtoomuchandgettingaheadache, I'd rather save my breath for breathing, but it does strike me you're trying to prove something? You can still be seen as reliable and capable, without wearing yourself out.

    Lastly, I know how wonderful it feels to pay off all the debt, but take a tip from me and reduce your CC max! You'll still have enough money to buy as many hatstands as you want - and matching cheerful kitchen equipment!

    Now have a nice lie down...

    I give up. You are worse than the most challenging child I have come across, and I've had a few of those in my time! I was a primary school teacher so can read words without spaces, sentences without full stops, and even writing that is upside down. How is P dealing with things? I hope he is not getting stressed by seeing you overdoing things. Poor man. Special hug from me to him xxx

    N power, phones, internet, broadband....The 60s and 70s were so much simpler when power was supplied by one company in a region, most people didn't have phones, and computers were as big as pianos, and only for use for clever geezers! If you can get broadband you need to look at changing your supplier so that you have unlimited broadband and P can download to his heart's content!

    Blogs are my limit...occasionally chat to my neice on FB, but my typing is not that quick!

    Well, comfy seating arrives tomorrow, so had to pay balance for that. My credit card bill is going the same way as yours, never spent so much apart from deposit on our house, and luckily its being dripped onto my card over the next 3 months.

    We all have these what ifs, and perhaps, and frighten ourselves stupid. Tim was doing it last week re his trip. Good luck on Friday. As I remarked on Tim's blog, you and he will be racing for the seats next to the loos at the Ball if you both have the reversal op. Its rather scarey thinking about meeting up....are we going with partners? They might wonder what we get up to.........

    Also scary that some consultants are onto us. Hope mine isn't, as he'd recognise me in a minute! Will have to make sure that my underwear does not match next time. Haha!

    Hope parent's meeting went well.

    Be good! If you can't be good, be careful! If you can't be careful be prepared for the consequences

    XXXXXXXXXX

    And some for P and Max xxxxxxxxxxxxx

    I hope no-one from the Churchill reads this site, I suspect I'm the only person they know with a fked-up lung AND peritoneal cancer, and I may have been a bit rude about them here and there.

     

    There was a young lady named My

    Who made all her MacLand friends sigh

    With her guts overflowing

    She just kept on going

    You can't make her slow down, please don't try

     

    - will that do you?

    I'm going to try anyway. SLOW DOWN!

    *lots of hugs*

    *more hugs for your date with GC*
