Maybe a cd of your daughter playing?

Excellent idea Lynda

Great idea, if she hasn't done so already! They do send birthday cards to each other, I know! 

Hugs xxx

Ps, have begun to practise that German phrase, I sing German so pronunciation isn't too bad! 

Evening everyone, I am still making soups for Hubby, he had the plate out of his mouth on Wednesday and as predicted it is vary sore underneath.  Tonight it was chicken and mushroom, there was some left so I have put it in the fridge if anyone wamts some.

I just have two more radiotherapy sessions to go, Monday and Tuesday next week. The tiredness has just hit me so I am glad of a weekend off. I have a Herceptin injection on Wednesday then three weeks off from the cancer hospital,  yipee.

You are both doing so well Gillian

look forward to some warm sunshine and a good rest. Xxx

Evening

Just a quick hello befor i go back to work,must be bonkers going back to sort out the mess somebody else has made

Hope all are well as can be

Flipping heck Gillian,doesn't seem 5 minutes since you were telling us you had a start date & here you are almost finished,well done you,just make sure that when it's all done you take a few days to rest & recover,hope hubby's soon feeling better & is able to start on solids

Got home today & found a daffodil through the letter box,my little mate had been for a walk with mummy & picked nanny a flower,i just love her to bits,it looks like my childminding services may be coming to an end soon,mummy has been offered a new job & she won't be working evenings,i'll miss putting her to bed & reading to her but it's a lot less hours for a lot more money so she has to do it

The lunatics are as mad as ever,at the minute all 3 are chilling but if last night is anything to go on in about 10 minutes Willow & Medusa will be running round like something demented & chasing each other up & down stairs & sounding like a pair of elephants, i'm hopeing that next week my friend will co me round & put my photos on my laptop so i'll be able to put some on here & show you how they've grown since Polly arrived on our doorstep 8 months ago,gosh how time has flown & so much has happened in such a short space of time

After much talking & working things out i've decided not to take the extra hours at the other venue,it would mean at least an extra hour everyday just getting there & back again

well my lovelies i must get organised & off to pick my workmate up

Lovelies i must get organised & get off & pick my workmate up

Love & hugs to all

Well done Gillian, nearly there now. Try and rest though, the tiredness will continue for a while yet.

Carol, the lunatics sound great. My two are three now and still have a mad 10 mins every day. Sounds sensible not taking on the extra hours, you don't want to wear yourself out.

Hugs to all.

I thought long & hard about it & even though the money would have been nice i don't want to end up stressed & tired like i was at the last job,Vince had just put the girls to bed when i got home,Medusa didn't want to go but she's very stupid & easy to catch & carry upstairs

Well i'm now of up to bed,early start tomorrow as we're on the bus & decided to get an early one & go & have a big girls breakfast befor we start work

Night Night all

xx

Very sensible Sister Snail, you need time for yourself as well as the work which brings in the money. I think it is called work/life balance which most of us are very bad at. Hope you enjoyed your big girls breakfast.

Great to hear about the kitties, they do sound delightful although they drive you mad.

Good afternoon everyone!

Seems ages since I last posted in our little corner here, I think I've read some of teh backlog, but probably not all, but if I wait any longer before jumping back in again, I'll never figure out where we are all at the moment

Hmm... have I posted since getting back from Sweden on January the 11th, I can't recall... well, the trip away went great.Even the flights were great fun... - The flight out saw me spend most of the hour and a half or so of the flight, standing in the cockpit, chatting to the pilot and copilot, and, discussing cancer with the co-pilot, who'd had chemo himself, a year or so before.

The descent into Gothemberg was a little less fun... - very tiny plain, only 30 seats, and only myself and one other passenger, and we hit turbelence. Proof as if I needed it that my sinuses are really rubbish; such a lot of pain in them and my hearing all over the place for ages, along with my balance gone to shot.

The flight back was fun too... on landing back into Cambridge, par tof the window surround next to me, fell off and landed on me! which I found most hilarious...

Since being back, had my port removed and then kept the port which is purple, and made it into a necklace!

One trip to A&E at 4 AM, back last Sunday, when my eye got really bad again (dry eye due to the chemo). a million eye drops later, its almost not hurting again now. Starting to get a few joint problems, which I think is a side affect of the hydrocortisone or perhaps the chemo, I can't recall which.

A trip to a DWP work assessment thing, which I think I came out of rather well (or rather came out of their being aware I'm now more disabled following the cancer treatment, than I was when just* blind). Another positive outcome of which, was  that the DWP Dr was a bit astonished at how rubbish my oncology Drs and GP etc, have been, and she's written letters to them, pointing out they might want to do somthing about my chronic pain, shoulder that is still restricted movement due to the radiotherapy, and to endocrinology to ask them why they've not noticed my results show me to be hypothyroid now, on top of my other endocrine problems (which may help explaain my weight gain and constant fatigue still).

Oh. and Yesterday, William and I went and ordered our wedding rings!- I so have to lose weight before the wedding though! now more than three stone heavier than I was back January last year, just before starting chemotherapy...

Oh, and today is one year to the day I quit smoking!

Must try hunt down some recipes now, for sweet potatos, William's never had them, and although I have cooked them before, it was so long ago I can't quite recall how I did them...

hope everyone is OK; I must try keep up with the threads on here again now!
