Awake and up all night

Gill, the 'Fish and Chips' in Seahouses used to be great.

The last really good one I had was in Otley a couple of months ago.  Small place, funny name, opposite Wetherspoons.

Hey Steve, it's years ago now but my dad used to take us out for drives, calling in pubs and fish 'oyles, as he called them.  

I remember one in Otley, Gay Lane Fisheries (well tasty) and my MiL went to one called the Old Wooden Hut, I think.  She raved about it as they did special deals for pensioners.  I'd be raving about them too, but we can't flipping get there - too far from here.  We have got a good one nearby and now you've mentioned them, I could murder a portion, with scraps on, natch.

Thanks for making me drool and hugs xx

Well the picc line thing FAILED! My veins would show on monitor then soon as she put needle in they'd  shrivel up and hide! Cowards! So my arms look like pin cushions and I’ve gotta go back for a retry on 11th! 

Aw crumbs Chloe, and it was all going so well.  Trust the spoilsport veins to spoil the party.  I know there's some tips on the internet how to get the awkward blighters up for canulas etc. so maybe a shufty might avoid another puncture fest.

Did you get sorted at the salon pet?  If not there's always next time.

If you've got the weekend off, enjoy.  Hugs xxx

Yes, well hopefully, I chose a real hair wig so I can still have the routine of styling it if I want too, and looked less fake looking,  I’m naturally a brunette but I have honey blonde highlights, so she’s done me a honey blonde wig and she’s going to add me a brown root smudge so I can fade it out when my own hair grows back (that’s hoping that it grows back my natural colour) even with the nhs voucher it’s costing me £750 but way I see it that’s 10/12 visits to the hairdressers which I would of gone to every month so if I have it a year it’s paid for itself.. x 

Great idea Chloe.  I honestly thought real hair would be far more expensive so it's surprised me.  A bonus would be styling it in the evening, saving faffing about in the mornings.

I watch lots of telly when my OH goes up to bed, and Macmillan are running ads aimed at hair loss in women caused by treatment, particularly focusing on brows and eyelashes.  If it wasn't obvious what the ads were about, you wouldn't be able to tell the women had lost facial hair.  It must be a good confidence booster for those affected.  But I guess you've already been told this.  

I'm sitting outside reading at the mo as OH is watching cricket highlights - not my bag but it's really nippy, so off back inside for a cuppa.

Glad your treatments underway now and it should fly by.  Hugs xxx

Uncle Joe's Fish and Chips?

I think since having cancer, I’ve spent more money on make up and skin care than I ever have, I’ve bought waterproof brow pens and stamp kits, waterproof eyeliner, false lashes and glue for super sensitive skin, lip balms, no alcohol mouth wash, nail care etc it’s never ending… x

 lol!  Well if you don't use it, you can set up a beauty stall at your local market.  Or maybe not...

I had a hot choc when I came in - it should have been a tall lemonade with ice cubes on the 1st of August.  Bonkers weather.

Keep smiling hon xxx

That's the one, 'Uncle Joe's.

Thanks for letting me know.
