  10th May COVID test

  This was actually my second as I had one before my colonoscopy, I was delighted that it was the same nurse who remembered me! I thought this kind of thing only happened on Neighbours. I hate having this test but I suppose it is nothing to compare wit...

• It's Gone Tits Up

  The show must go on

  Nothing to kick you back into reality then being back at work. I took a week off from the day of my chemo. It took me that long to get over my many ailments and side effects and was back to work from Monday. It was mental on Monday thinking about how...
