For those with a warped sense of humour WARNING- no punches pulled here

It sure has been a great few days and has certainly made me feel good to have heard all this good news.

The CURE word what a small word it is to cause such huge and happy emotions and one we so rarely hear 

Hi Granny and great to hear little Adam is making progress enough for you to have a cuddle ahhhh

Great results for Ems and the good news seems to keep on coming so much I can hardly  take it all in

LM now Countess/Duchess/Dame what next Queen of Sweden/sheba or somewhere

For those of us waiting for good news or not feeling to good I hope for better days  

Your Right Tim I haven't had a drink for a long time so I may give myself a glass of wine tonight and raise a toast to everyone 

Hugs to Everyone

Blimey you lot!! here's me slaving away getting the next generation prepared for whatever and you lot and all whooping away on here!

I saw all the hoorays on my phone but can''t reply on it so have snuck into my hut to pop on here and say HOOOOOOOOOOOFUCKINGRAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHH

Colette, I nearly feel off my chair when GC said to me we are hoping to cure you so I know how good that feels and good luck with the next bit of chemo and RT etc. Whoo hooo!

Welcome to this world little baby Adam. May your life be filled with love and laughter. (easy peasy with your granny)

Swedish is easy for names... non of this gran, nan, grandma stuff. Mor is mother and Far is father so you have a mormor (mum's mum) and a Morfar (mum's dad) and a farmor (dad's mum) and a far far (dad's dad) Easy see? no explaining who is who etc. aunts and uncles are the same morbor, farbror etc...  I had a mormor'smor which does get a bit confusing... (mum's mum's mum haha)

Ems I am so so so so soooooooooo happy to hear your bone marrow is clear. Grinning as I write!

And you lot can stop calling me silly your highness names. Little My or LM if you can't be bothered is fine and yes, Tim all your fault! (I don't think anyone else actually reads my drivel haha) I'm not that posh really. I just shop at Waitrose and have silver spoons in the house and glasses with the family crest on and portra..... oh hang on that's not working.

Eh up chucks me dad were from Birkenhead...... is that better? (and he was btw)

Anyway, Nobhead was late and missed the meeting last night and F who is defender of nobhead said I went to one department meeting and it was lovely and then I went to LM's and it wasn't and they don't get on (well, durrrrr)

everyone shrugged and said 'and?' etc and that was that. Just been giggling with nice boss about him and he said as long as you think you are talking to a child and not an adult, you are ok. I'm going to miss him.

Was meant to be blowing up stuff in the lab, but got a peace worker from Gaza coming to talk to them so better get my sensible head on and go over there... oh and shut baggy up :D

Oh, hang on... I  don't have a sensible head.... oh bugger.

Little My x

ps my mum used to say to me 'who do you think you are, the queen of sheba, so that could be true cruton...

pps we had sticky toffee pudding and custard for our school dinner today.... YUM! (my school does nice lunches- usually involving lentils etc but today was fun)

LM, darling, weren't you Queen of da Nile at one point? I forget why.

'Cure' must be the nicest word in the world. Well, 'cure' + 'money in the bank'. Which is not a word but a phrase.

Babies are nice, too, although I am of the 'so long as you can hand them back' school of thought. I hadn't entirely ruled out having one of my own (on my own, that would've been the trick) when I stopped being able to, but it's probably as well.

YAY! for everyone's good news. And for sticky toffee pudding, which sounds like an excellent thing.

xxxx

Good afternoon you loony lot xx

Congratulations Granny Louise and best wishes, love and cuddles to little Adam, well done his mummy xx

So Colette you got to the wedding just in time, literally haha, and managed to have lovely painted nails and wig on straight aswell.  Brilliant news to here that word 'cure', onwards and upwards nearing the end of that tunnel, hurray xx

Hurray also to Ems and Annie for clear biopsies and results.  More brilliant news and another hip hip hooray xx

I think we should get that party arranged Tim, i'm sure it was you who suggested one recently.  I certainly am going to clink my glass to you all tonight, cheers.  I don't usually drink you understand, only on special occasions hehe :)

Best wishes to you all

Jan xx

Jan in my book everyday is a special day so cheers me dears...and tonight Mathew I am going to be someone else and go out to the pub(not done that in months) with other half and a couple of friends.Hurray also for ems and annie XXX cos i forgot earlier  duh  do that all the time these days.    I was talking to a fellow patient yesterday who was saying how bad his memory was and said I bet you dont forget your childrens names like what I do      his reply     oh yes i do that all the time,there was me thinking it was a me thing.     I just hope all this euphoria doesn't go to my head cos I dont want to come back down with a bang.     Oh btw LM   my daughter Shiv had a long talk today with her tutor   she took her big sister with her as guardian cos Mum wasn't up to it   and the upshot is she will carry on with her A levels and college will do all they can to make it easy for her.   She will only be given work that is relevant to passing her exams and no silly practicing writing essays which she can do in her sleep.   I dont know how much more good news I can take,but am prepared to give it a try.   Right off for a kip before tea then major makeover so I look presentable for the pub   what a life.   XXXXXXX      Colette

Hello again you lovely lot!

another bit of good news... Hooooooorah for Ruby!!! ruby went out to the big city and saw the doc and then not to any old shop but my shop hahaaa the blue box of vikingness. I am gobsmacked Ruby- talk about leaping straight in at the deeep end! Wow.....  and the most exciting bit is she had meatballs. She is now part Viking. Mwa ha haaaaaa. This is our cunning plan... we get you to eat our meatballs by enticing you into our blue and yellow boxes with shiny things and then mwa haahaaaaa Viking ! I am doing my bit on here of course.... We have Odin, we have you saying stor kram... you will be eating rotten fish soon enough.

I had a weird one today and a proper warped one. . One of our governors has cancer. He came in today for a meeting and he tilts his head at me. I think i told you about him before. His wife won't accept it and is very down about it all and he is a bit odd about it too (or maybe I should say normal about it, rather than my way of looking at things) Anyway, so far he's had nothing done and feels well but I think it has spread somewhere or other. He is trying to decide whether to have chemo or not. Might give him a few extra months, but he's not ill now etc.

He is trying to get his head round the fact he might die sooner than he thought and I am getting my head round the fact I might live longer than I thought. Made for a funny conversation.

Anyway, my mate was there and I was saying that some chemo's aren't that bad and mine was fine and I was fine you know the sort of errr it was nowt thing.... and then my friend said Oh but LM had chemo and RT and she was really really ill with it and started saying how  frail I was and how much weight I had lost and don't I remember not being able to eat etc and how scared they all were at the time etc. and I just looked at her. I had no idea and I remember it as not being a big deal and being pretty well through it ...... really really odd thing memory eh?

anyway, we ended up having such a laugh and giggle and another colleague came in and said god you lot are having a right good old laugh, what are you talking about?

Oh cancer and dying...  :D

Like I said before, I don't think I have ever laughed so much since I got cancer.

Oh and  I did something good but then thought Oh bugger. I said that he might like to join Mac to ask others about the chemo etc Oh, thanks he said.. did you find it helpful... oh yes I said. Little does he know... So I am now worried that he might join and he might see me talking about school and put 2 and 2 together... eeeeeeeeeekkkkkk!!!!!!! remember he is a governor!

Hopefully he won't look at the silly stuff, cos he's not a silly.

I was trying to think if I could do a whoo hoo too and this is the best I could come up with... I  ordered some more bags today and then thought  that might be my last order ever!!! haven't got a date from the surgeon yet, but if he sticks to his word... 7 or 8 weeks to go!

So that's my news.. not quite whoo hoo but hey I am so happy for you lot, couldn't cope with any more excitement!

Oh and I did Nobhead a favour today.... call me  Saint My or Machiavelli... you choose :D

Big celebratory hugs all round

Little My xxx

Wotcha!

LM you will be fine if the Governor comes on here, after all there must be loads of Swedish born teachers with a baggy on Mac.........or maybe not!

Went to get my hair cut today, and somehow went in the wrong door and ended up in Wetherspoons....hic! It was all the good news that made me giddy and confused. Finally got my ears lowered and when I got back home and the left over Xmas beer was shouting "drink me, drink me!"

I fear no more posts this evening as things may get messy. Love you all my wonderful, brave, funny mac mates, luv you all.

Lines tight

Tim xxxxxxxx

Phew!! What a lot you lot wrot!

Haven't been on much in the past few days, since I had the blues and lost my sense of humour. Should have looked at warped and that would have chased them all away!

Where to start? Well a new grandson must take priority. Congratulations Granny Louise! I shall toast Adam's health tonight. What a lucky boy to have such a mormor.

What a sensible language Swedish is. When I was born my far went farfar away and was never seen again!

Louise, LM or HRH seems to have everything under control with regards to MIL, but as backup I have asked Thor to have a lightening bolt on standby. Just in case, don't stand too close to MIL in future; Thor's eyesight isn't too good since he needs new glasses. He has been banned from Specsavers after the last time when he sneezed and fused all the lights.

Ruby managed to get to the psycho in the company of Corporal Jones and then went shopping in little Sweden. I am planning a new kitchen and will also be visiting little Sweden soon.

Colette, or Shallot, CURE is a great word and I'm pleased you are seeing light at the end of the tunnel which is not a train. Glad you got to the wedding in time for the drinks, I mean food.

Ems - Fantabloodytastic news!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Sending you real welsh cwtches to see you through the rest of your treatment and lots of love. Beter still will be Deri's face when she hears!

Jan a great idea a party, we can hold it at Tim's hairdresser, it sounds the sort of place I would frequent if I had hair. Well done Tim for not letting that Xmas beer go past its use by date.

Pause for breath before tackling LM's news. The trouble with touch typists is that they leave the rest of us standing. Wonder if the bar's open?

Bar's closed, have to put up with decaf tea at this time of night.

Well LM, so there's to be a wedding this year! When? We have the perfect team to plan your wedding which will save you the trouble. I hope P has a sense of humour!

I can well believe you were thrown out of the brownies, but I'm surprised it was because of your womble pants.

Worrying about people coming on this site, obviously one person not to worry about is nobhead, because if he came on the Mac site he would avoid warped as the work of the devil. Have you polished your horns lately?

With all those meetings, do you get time to teach? Well done for using the cancer card. Sounds as though NH and friends are making fools of themselves. Pissflaps to the lot of them!

Well done for being kind to NH. One of my colleagues once said to me: Be nice to everyone, you never know who your next boss is going to be!

Once you have had your reversal you will be as employable as everyone else. BTW you don't need a laboratory to blow up balloons; does that mean you ahve special skills that would be useful if we need to mount another rescue mission?

Well it seems most of us are celebrating good news, so sorry to spoil the party, but the blues have gone now and they shouldn't have happened anyway because I'm also on the way to a cure.

Went to town today to buy myself a shiny thing in the form of a new telephone. Feel I'm missing out on all the exciting things people can do with their telephones these days, mine can be used on the internet for free, butit's not very convenient.

Stor kram to everyone,

Odin xxxxxx

A sad AllFather will not do. I hope you're feeling better now, Odin.

xx

Just had to pop in and say Here, here,Hilary.

Odin the Allfather you shall never be down again knowing you have a bunch of loonies behind you going whoo hoo and waving at you.

cwthches and storsta kram to you and hope you are a bit smilier now xxx and sorry my fingers type so bloomin fast!

Oh and don't panic me like that saying you don't know who your boss might be!! Nobhead as my boss? I would run away (If I could run)

Oh and I did think that I might get a really long tube and put it above his desk and then when he's on his own shout down it... 'god here.... my will is that you go to the Russian steppes and work there...'

Hahaaaa

Got to take the cats to the vets tomorrow for their vaccinations so we can get them into a cattery so we can have a woodburner and new fireplace installed without worrying where scaredycats have gone. I may be shredded and unable to type tomorrow... actually, for the first time, P has to come with me cos of my sausages and having big fat cats the certainly weigh a lot more than the half full kettles I am allowed to lift! Imagine a vets waiting room full and my sausages popping out....!

pandemonium!

Hi ems... hope your beige walls aren't getting you down and you are singing rousing songs to entertain the old ladies!

Hug squidgy hugs all round
