Oh No sorry Kim.

I’m a retired lady of leisure thank goodness.
I wouldn’t be able to manage to work with thirty four year olds now.
Could you imagine that? 
Thats 30 pupils 4yrs old. Not 34 yr olds

 I would be retired by now too if the goalposts didn't keep being moved. I'm 62. I cut down from 35 to 25 hours after returning to work after my cancer.  I have to say, going back to work after 16 1/2 months off was more stressful than the treatment and surgery put together . I sometimes feel like I run around after 34 year old- not 3 to 4 year old. The older ones amongst us can run rings around the younger ones, despite some of my colleagues having conditions which cause them pain etc.

Hi Three  
How are you and Brook? 

Hi Artsie, Ann,

I'm fine now, just getting over a chest infection!

How are you doing?  Brooke keeps gurgling away, behaving quite well laterly but playing up occasionally, just like those 4year olds you mentioned earlier!!

Best Wishes,

Hi Moira 

Good to hear that you’re feeling better hopefully the weather will warm up a bit and we can get out more.

I’m fine Whoops has her moments however I’ve had a few good nights I will probably regret saying that tonight!

Spring needs to arrive soon. Brooke needs to keep on gurgling that’s  her job.
Take care

Hi Kath

I forgot I had a stoma yesterday!!!

After six months being careful introducing foods I felt yep I’m fine

Well yesterday I ate like I was 16.

I’m quite disgusted with self. 

Lunch I ate half a portion of fish and chips. That’s fine Small OAP with cheeses soggy roll with chips!
WITH CHIP SHOP CURRY SAUCE! 

Afternoon teatime. A Banberry cake not had fruit cake since pre op

Then put my remaining Fish Chips in oven for dinner Ate that

two hours later you can guess what happened.
Volcanic burning eruption. 
Yes I’m burned.  
Still I’m lucky I didn’t block 

Oh I forgot

Thursday is breakfast with my sister. Full English

Hi Ann.

I remember the first time I had fish and chips after I had my operation. I was at the seaside for the day, where there's a fantastic fish and chip shop. Against my better judgement, I had to have some. It's the law when at the seaside after all! I barely swallowed the last mouthful when I could feel that I had to get to the public loo FAST!!  Luckily I got there in time but it was a very awkward space to change in and my first time changing my pouch away from home. These things are sent to try us but we just get on with it.

Ha ha yes but you were at the seaside. I acted like a teenager. I really don’t know what I was thinking
