    Why can't someone just give us a fucking break for once? Why?

    I'm not getting my bike now because apparently, somehow, we've got a bad credit rating. I literally have no idea how or why this has happened but basically, as far as lending money goes - we're not getting any. We're paying £500 a month rent yet no fucker...

    27/08/2013 - Another new week...

    I hate going back to work after the weekend, I miss my boyfriend so much. He's my best friend and he makes me feel so happy. I find it very hard to get through the day without him.

    That's all I have to say today for now - he's all I can think about :)

    Why am I not excited for my holiday?
    Finished work today till next Wednesday and I'm off to Rome on Thursday and STILL no excitement. The tension in my house is so high, everyone's so snappy, I should be buzzing to get away but I couldn't care less. I'm usually so organised but I haven't sorted out anything for my holiday yet.. I just can't be bothered.

    I Want To Go Back There Again.

    Today’s title is a song recorded in 1967 by one of my favourite artists.  Chris Clark.  Not many people have heard her music which is a great shame.  She never got the recognition she deserved.  She’s from the same era as another favourite of mine -  Dusty Springfield, and Chris Clark has a fine voice too.  However I do know someone who loves 60s music as much as I do.  Let’s call him D and I have his permission to share his views on how dating has got more difficult since the good old days...

  • Getting my head around it
    Yoyo moods

    Oh to feel like I did for the last blog entry. So optimistic then that all was going well  So the weeds (mets) had their comeback at me and I've been feeling low the past two days.  The pains got worse so that walking was difficult and picking things up from the floor, -better avoided if possible. I have to use tricks like holding onto things as I bend. Thank goodness my arms remain strong and, once upright, I can carry or lift heavy things if I need to. I've been working on the garden wall these...

    24/08/2013 - Nightmares

    I've noticed over the past few weeks that I've started dreaming again.

    I've always been very interested in dreaming and have several books about it. A while ago I got heavily into teaching myself how to lucid dream, and unfortunately after that I 'stopped' dreaming completely.

    Last night we were watching TV and I must have dosed off for a minute.

    I had one of those really short but really vivid dreams, it seemed to only last about 30 seconds. I was sat on the floor near our...

    When is 12 worse than 9?

    When it's the amount of weeks you are about to endure under chemotherapy. For the second time!

    I, like many before me am facing the upheaval, worry and uncertainty of my cancer coming back.

    There has been a good amount of resolve settle over the last few days. Throughout my experience with having had cancer I managed some laughs at It's expense. I became an active member of the Macmillan blog community for a short period during 2009 and then later in 2010. And here I am again. The pledge I...
