Good morning all,

Feeling brighter today, thanks for the hugs Christine, loving all your pics.

popping in with freshly brewed coffee and pain chocolate,( it's ok Mary I checked they are free in here), because we're worth it. Have a great day all.

love Jakki xxx

Good morning! 

Jakki, really pleased you are feeling better today,, feeling bad after chemo  must be really horrid! 

Had a wonderful day yesterday, was told to dress up a bit posh, was driven down to London, for cocktails and afternoon tea at the Ritz! Wow! So, a very special day but tempered with worry at the end of it by daughter feeling shivery and not quite herself. However, she was very tired and the house had got cool, and it was very late indeed, so warmed her up and checked that she wasn't running a temp, reassured her and I hope she has had a long sleep. I guess I will never, ever stop worrying about her.....

Big hugs to you all

Hi All,

I really enjoy reading all your posts and feel like you are all good friends, its lovely to hear how you all are and I am glad when things are on a level and even happier when we can share in each others good news, I share your sadness when things are not going so well. I haven't been posting so much lately, away in lovely Wales last week and am juggling the other parts of my life, so what I am saying not very well, is I am thinking of you all, and hoping you are all coping the best you can and I am here in the background wishing you all as good day as it can be.xxxxx

Polarbear,

So lovely to hear from you, glad you are keeping busy and that Wales was as lovely as ever, we are going at the end of August, taking my nephews as my sis can't cover summer hols with her work. It's such an advantage having a term-time job as I get the pleasure of all my boys (nephews and sons) for a week in 'sunny???' Wales!

I know what you mean about people on this site, it amazes me how much I look forward to, and enjoy the times when people have a triumph big or small. I've never been in a chat room before this but our shared experiences make it much more intense, I feel like I've made friends here and in my Hodgkins thread. Looking forward to meeting the lovely Carol tomorrow.

love to all Jakki xxx

Lovely to hear from you, Polarbear, and glad you are enjoying Wales! (will be there later this year, and possibly again next!) 

Jakki, I too feel I've made a huge amount of on line friends who have been through adversity too, it gives a common ground 

Daughter is fine, she really got overtired last night, and so felt chilly and unwell, after a good ten hours sleep she is much much better! Phew! (you never stop worrying about your children, especially when they have been through a lot!) 

Hugs to you all xxx

Moomy, the carnations on the table are for you to wish you a belated happy birthday xxx

belated happy birthday from me too. It sounds like a lovely day.

Pleased your daughter is ok today.

its a beautiful sunny evening here. 

Dear Lynda and Jakki,

It's beautiful here too, managed to dry some washing on the line, it smells so much fresher! 

Daughter went home today, I suspect she had a nap at one of the service areas, as her journey was longish, so she still needs to catch up on that sleep! But she has to practise up for Friday's Bridgewater Hall lunchtime concert, so she felt that was best done at her place. I have half a mind to jump on the train to go surprise her.....She will be playing music from her CD which is sold in aid of Macmillan, with a sextet backing, she will get a break when she timetables in the string quartet for a short spell. It's tough on the mouth for brass players to do solo recitals! 

We've been relaxing this afternoon, tidying up from the chaos, sent daughter home with spare food from last night, plus a big chunk of the birthday cake, son will collect another big chunk tomorrow, then hubs and I might just be able to manage the remainder! 

Hugs xxx
