24/7

Oh Jasmin, I hope those antibiotics do the job, bless you! 

Carol, I too love hearing about the kitties, they sound so mischievous! 

Hope Lynda is enjoying herself.....

Christine, hope you are doing ok,

thinking of you, Keith, Mark, Gillian and Jakki,

me, I'm being kept busy by Stanley, he makes sure I get enough exercise, short walk each morning and then a couple of miles each afternoon.....play too, he simp,y loves chasing rapidly round the garden in a fast circle, terriers are streamlined and oh boy he IS fast! Then if he leaves me any time I will be busy reading the new Bill Bryson book ( maybe I will save it for our Hilda's in Portmeirion) 

hugs to all xxx

Morning all, everyone seems very busy. Sorry to hear you and Mike have colds, the only thing you can do is wrap up warm and drink lots.

Hugs to all

It is chemo today, I have a late appointment today so may be able to enjoy a bit of sunshine when the mist rises. 

Hi all,

Hope that tooth gets better soon Jasmin, glad the doctor has prescribed some steroids for Mick. 

Moomy, lovely wedding pictures.

Jasmine;

having had long hair, and in a pony tail all my life; I'm just starting to suddenly, find all  these benifits of having... more normal manageable male hair! - when I sweep the floorboards up in the bedrooms, landings etc; I automatically still go to clear all the clods of hair from the bristles on the broom; there aren't any!

Showreing?: hang on; my hairs dry and I've not even got the dryer out! - it used to take a good ten minutes or more, just to dry my hair after showering; I'm 38 years  old, and I've just discovered how other men are able to shower and leave the house  in less than half an hour!

I oughta be saving a fortune on shampoo and conditioner too I guess, even if I did have to go and buy a comb, as my hair brushes for when my hair was long, really don't work on short hair! - Mind, I did find myself today, putting on a shirt after  my shower, and instinctively reaching back to pull the pony tail out from inside, only to then realise it isn't there! - a bit like my quitting smoking I guess, about 9 months now since I quit, and I still soemtimes find  myself patting my shirt pocket to check there are cigarettes there!

Gillian- Hope your chemo went as well as possible... It still doesn't seem long since I was having mine, every two weeks, but my last one now, must be three or four months ago I guess...



sister snail- Tee shirts sound like a great idea! - I came up with several slogan ideas for tee shirts during my chemo... - mostly X-rated and rude ones, vaguely connected with my chemo etc... - luckily I didn't get any printed now of course, in hindsight!


sweets... I shoudln't ... really I shouldn't... (so pleased I've now managed to finally start loosing some of the weight the steroids made me put on!) - I induldged in more fruit this evening...

Plenty of tea though for anyone who wants any.... Fennel... jasmine, peppermint,  ginger and honey, and of course camomile... and even Indian cafinated (bit late for me for cafine I guess...)

Hope all are OK this evening.

plan to meet William again tomorrow (he only went home today), as they have a 'food fair' thing at the pub near me, every Saturday lunchtime, so I think we'll get some food, and to combat its affects, if the weather is good again, lie today, maybe try head to the river for a walk whilst we still can, before winter truely arrives... - Did have to put the heating on here earlier, but only really because my hands and feet were feeling it (neuropathy I guess can make me feel the fold more?) - but here at least, the sun this morning!; we sat on the balcony for coffee, and it almost got too hot to sit there at one point! - not bad for October...

Hi

Food fayre sounds good Mark,we go to all the local ones & i love the samples,i can usually feed myself on those,hope we soon get to see the new hairdo,think i'm going to get the tshirt done next year to celebrate 5 years,unless i have it done as a tattoo 

Hope all have had a decent day & nice weather,it's not been too bad here but it's turning cool now, hope we get a good afternoon as we're off to watch my great nephew play football

Jakki,we're coming to Matlock on 27th,if you've got time to spare it would be really nice to meet up & have a cuppa with you & i'll certainly need one after i've been bargain hunting in your lovely charity shops

i can here muttering coming from the kitchen so i'm guessing the pizza's ready,if there's any left i'll put some slices on the side

Love & hugs to all

Oh Carol, rubbish! 27th is half term and I am away on my friend's narrow boat boo, will have to meet up next time. Have an afternoon tea for me though please.

hope everyone is well. My big boy is 16 tomorrow, please explain how that happened when he was only a baby not so long ago! He had mates round for a sleep over last night and they were all so lovely, polite and considerate. I hate hearing people slag off teenagers the ones I meet are fantastic.

Love to all

Jakki xx

Hi everyone,sorry I have not posted much.

I am struggling with posting lately, so many sad things and I am trying to be positive. I am not sure how much help I can be at the moment.

Hope you are all well hugs to those that need them, hope you are all enjoying the sunshine. I am off to Wales for 5 days with daughter and two little ones.

Love xxx

Hello everyone,

Christine, I know things get stages of being sad, and I too, feel bad about posting then. Sending you hugs just for yourself, really glad you will be taking some time out with family.

Jakki, yes, my big boy will be 40 later this year and I simply cannot believe it! Where do the years go???

Carol, so sorry that you and Jakki won't be able to meet up, it was so good meeting you! Hugs in person and so much better than on media!

Lynda, hope that holiday is wonderful, store up all that vitamin d!

Mark, good to see you posting in 24/7! 

Thinking of everyone who isn't posting much, too, Keith, Jasmin, and anyone else....

Hugs xxx
