..….how to clear a room in an instant! Have you ever stood in a queue and just wished that everyone in front of you would miraculously disappear? I have, I’m not the most patient of shoppers at the best of times, shopping fights for the prized last place on the to-do list with housework. I now have a secret weapon which clears an aisle/bar/queue in an instant! The Toxic Burp. It’s a rather rank and putrid burp admittedly but it does a fantastic job so mustn’t be criticised too heavily...
We have just returned from a wonderful weekend in Dorset. My Ovarian cancer is back on the rampage again, and my one wish was to get my family united together under one roof so the grandchildren could get to know each other, on "Grandmas holiday". (One son lives in the states and always has to do the rounds when they come home). It was everything I could have hoped for, even if I didn't have the energy to join in with all they did, (the hike across to the cliffs and the walk up Corfe castle...
Hi Everyone
Yesterday we got the news we had been dreading, yet expecting that my sister Liz G has another tumour . She is taking it as she takes every aspect of her life, on the nose and is dealing with it in her own way.
For those of you who know me and Liz from the old What Now site you will know the love and closeness we share and the past two years since she was given 3-4 months to live ,have been the hardest most emotional I have ever experienced with her and my family.
While I am writing...
Hiya, this is my first blog and i'm using this as my coping mechanism....my mum is 62 and she is the strongest, most patient and kind woman i have ever met. We come from a large family, i have 2 elder sisters and 1 elder brother, many nieces and 1 nephew. My mum and dad divorced when i was 3 and she has brought us up on her own with no help at all and she has done a fantastic job.
My mums pain first started after a fall xmas eve 2009 when the weather was very icy and cold...xmas day she was in...
Hi there
my mum has been on tarceva for a month now and has had the dreadfull spots or "rash" as it's known.
The steroid treatment did clear it up but she found the greatest relief from Aveeno products. These have helped to moisturize her skin and skeeping bad breakouts at bay.
With this in mind I decided to join the Aveeno Discoverer programe and I'm helping to spread the word about Aveeno products. I have recieved free samples and have the posssibility of further rewards, if you...
Well, here we are again......STILL HERE and loving life.
March has been semi quiet with the weather dull and very VERY wet. Had a few good nights out with friends.
Still not finished my web site but made myself a promise to get down to it when I get back from China.
All my veg seedings are up. Far to many again, so plenty to put around to friends and family.
No chocolate for me this Easter because I had to go on a crash diet. Yes, I know that crash dieting is bad for me but, what the heck.
...Good afternoon.
Just back from plastic dressings clinic. 2 and a half hours the appointment took.
Just wondering how many of you do?? God?? Heaven?? Angels???
I have always kind of believed....my children have all been christened.....they now all attend a church school and i go to all the services with them ie harvest, easter, xmas etc.
Now the problem i have is if God exists why does he allow bad things to happen to such good people?
Why take my mom from me when i was 2?
Why allow my dad to be poorly now so he can take him too?
Why allow all of the lovely people on here to be ill?
If it is all real...
