I am in remission from melanoma and my husband is in remission from Non Hodgkins Lymphoma. We would love to go on a cruise next year but fear it will be too expensive as P & O insist on cover for pre existing conditions. Any advice would be very helpful.
Overnight I seemed to have made significant progress! Last night I went out for some drinks with a very close friend and we just reminisced and laughed the night away. I genuinely can't remember the last time I enjoyed myself like that and didn't come home wanting to go to go to sleep and never wake up again! To continue the good spirits, I've had a big fat smile on my face allllll day, whilst catching up with some friends.
Its silly to think I never thought I'd feel happy or be able...
Just like I knew I would, I regret posting that blog post yesterday. Reading it back I sound like such a petulant little child - I apologise to anyone who had the misfortune of stumbling across that and having to read it. I promise I am not normally like that! I swear!

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...
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 :)
