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

Thanks, you two! It was only a Brief Encounter!

All those people worrying about their pets and you rolling on the floor putting sausages back might have given them light relief.

I notice the cats have to lose weight, is this so you can pick them up?

Hwgs and cutches all round especially to Ems,

Here's some good news from me. (I think()

I just got the letter with the date for my operation through. 16th March..

the not good bit is that I am now all nervous seeing it in print

the good news is it says admitted to the glan usk suite which is SC's private ward hahaaaaaaa!!

Maybe they heard me being called duchess etc :D

I don't know whether to phone and say Really???? or chance it and see.... or maybe he's just being nice...

hmmm.

Welcome home.... we-e-ellllcome... come on in.... lah laaaa lah lah!

Whoo hooo all done! Snuggle down and get lots of cwtches....

I think i will phone him next week and check... don't want to turn up and have it all cancelled or not be allowed the food cos its nice or something.... I went to see him there to get my diagnosis and the secretary was really snotty when she discovered I was nhs and not private.... Mind, you this could be fun!!!!!

You may have ward-envy ems if I do go there and you visit :D

I think I might go for a swim to burn off those butterflies...

You got home early, ems... did they let you out early for good behaviour?

Glad your home Ems, best to be tucked up warm on a cold day like this!

Also pleased to read that Odin is over the little blip and back on top form.

LM you now appear to be one step ahead of me in the reversal race, can you believe I have been ready for the op since August!

Have a good weekend all.

Tight lines

HI TIM! HAVE YOU GOT A HANGOVER? SHE SHOUTED....

actually, I came on to say sorry, Tim... hope it isn't rubbing salt into wounds. You must be really fed up still waiting. Don't want to upset you into the bargain...

GC said it was an advantage of being in the middle of nowhere and small country hospitals... not such a queue..

I hope you get your date very soon too... mind you, now its real and the nerves have kicked in... I don't want to be first! Do you want to pretend to be me? I'm actually happy to wait now cos the game of 'are you now incontinent or not' doesn't sound the funnest of games to me (and as i was before and have been intermittently since I am kind of guessing the likely answer to that game... which just means putting it all back!!) if you get a wig and speak in a squeaky voice he might not notice till its too late..

Hope you get some tight lines

HOME, Ems? But you haven't served your sentence! Did you get parole then? Being tucked up all cosy in your own bed, yay what bliss, and Deri  the girls all happy & ready to indulge your every whim ... you jammy beast! xxx

Ow, stop shouting LM!!!

No hangover as I "paced" myself yesterday, I was up and out and scraping the ice off the car this morning. Going to be a cold day out fishing tomorrow, lots of layers required!

Hey no salt in my wounds LM, I'm pleased that you are getting somewhere, I'd never be jealous of that. The fear factor of toilet activities post op is all that worries me too, cos I know I am in the risk zone of will it all work again also. Of course the worst case is having a bag for life, but let's not get ahead of ourselves LM, take one day at a time as ever.

Though I do like the sound of your cunning plan of me impersonating you, I don't fancy the risks of balloons and dilators coming my way. Anyway, however good my disguise SC would no doubt be able to tell the difference between our bottoms!

We now have the poop games website to keep us amused, snigger, I see you barred me for that one, lol!

Final round of a league for me tomorrow fishing. My team are in the lead, and I am the joint top individual, the match is on the canal. At the end of the day will I be champ or chump?

What  an amazing week it's been for everyone!!!!! New babies, congratulations granny and well done mummy. Also weddings, wigs being on backwards and Colette I loved the old guy painting your nails while you were both having chemo and still being able to have a laugh while having to go through a really awful and scary thing!! So pleased you had good news about your lodger and everyone else that had good news this week. Ems bet your glad to be back in your own cosy bed.

As most of you know I went to Edinburgh yesterday, to have a talk about my anxiety and panic attacks which can be sorted out and have got better, its just I've been carrying a lot of crap around since I got ill which I will save maybe for a blog sometime, anyway what with all the talk of chemo and radio going on with some of you I had forgotten a lot of my own treatment, so going to the hospital brought back memories of good and bad times, I went to the RD department to say hi to my brothers ex girlfriend from years ago (childhood sweethearts ) she is a radiographer but she wasn't there, but on the desk where they all sit to work the machines was a face mask like the one jackie probably had last week to sort out her lodger and shrink it to a sultana, I looked at the mask and it brought tears to my eyes just thinking and remembering............ and thanking my lucky stars.

Then I got to go to the big blue & yellow shop and buy useless things like bag clips and paper napkins, oh and a few cushions that we don't need, then we had lunch!!!! I am now 3/4 Viking as being Scottish already I think I had a bit of Viking in there to begin with.

When we left  and were driving back  my other half said how nice it was to be out and about with me again and we got all giggly and silly , we nearly ended up going to the coast for fish& chips but thought it would be wise to save for another day as had to get home to let the yeti back in his cave god love him.

So that was my exciting adventure yesterday and can I just say thank you from the bottom of my heart because it was a huge deal for me yesterday getting out and about, but you loony lot really did help me and I even laughed out loud in the Dr office seeing you lot all standing with dearstalker hats on and womble pants and wigs and slippers that go in the microwave oven and wheely bins      I love you all,   your my kinda folk.

Hi Tim, well done for pacing yourself and no hangover and thanks for being so sweet.... i know you are not jealous but I know how it feels waiting and it has to bug a little bit hearing someone get in before you.

I think you should post that website on here for all to enjoy except you are all NOT ALLOWED TO PLAY THE WTF DOCTOR GAME! Too close to reality for some of us OUCH!  :D we may have our own version going soon if we both get our ops... How long can you hold the poo in? :D

Oooooh you are winning in the fishing!!!! will have everything crossed for you for tomorrow though I am surprised there are any fish left the rate you go out....  I was contemplating going for a swim tomorrow, so I could go to the river instead and jump in and splash around where your opponents are if you like.... or I could put on a fish costume (does such a think exist??) and you could catch me hahaaaa I am not back to where I was weight wise, but I know I weigh more than a big fish! (and actually i don't want to get back to where I was weight wise!! trouble is, now Hefty isn't around, i can't stuff myself and lose weight anymore...

Ruby just popped in as I was writing this.... I am so so soooooo happy for you Ruby. I know how hard these things are and i was so chuffed to hear you even braved Ikea too! mwa ha haaaaa another Viking. Some people have said that they don't like all the giggles and silliness on mac but they have no idea how much it helps some of us. I am not sure I could have got through all of this without you lot either.... and my goodness what a random bunch of loonies we are....

Oh and if I do get to sneak onto this private ward somehow.... it says visitors are welcome to stay for a meal with you.. just tell them and choose from the a la carte menu (please Lord let it not be the same menu as the rest of the hospital) so, I'm having a dinner party on the 19th March. All invited. :) Put it in your diaries! :D

I have to go for a swim now to stop me stressing about this op cos its weeks away... see you all later

Love you all
