I know that started this brilliant idea so I wanted to carry it on for her and as the forum has become a little gloomy recently as we face loosing them both soon.
So
1. daloni and dizzie outlasted their prognosis by years and I am sure proved that you can have quality of life despite doctors best guesses and we all benefited from knowing them on here.
2. I just got back from a fabulous holiday in Galicia, northern Spain. I walked more than I have for months (chemo pushed me into a wheelchair) the food and wine was fab and I met old friends and laughed a lot.
3. Macmillan have admitted that their upgrade has been a bit sh*t and are working on improving it. Hurrah for Macmillan who have admitted it didn't go well. How many organisations actually come out and say that.
I don't like to think that newbies think that we are a miserable lot, what struck me on here when I came was how much joy, laughter and living went on despite cancer.

Apologies if I come across as flippant or a killjoy, certainly don't intend to be. The title of the initial post " Three Good Things " is in my opinion, subjective. So my Three Good Things at the minute are;
1) Abiraterone
2) Prostap3
3) Tramadol
I am not going through a bad spell or feeling down BTW.
Take care, Tom.
I can see these things becoming very varied and hopefully controversial. Our Matron Annette will be giving the naughty step a good bottoming, I can see candidates already, I am going to use my old favourite spot by the bar, well it was SiTs spot but I don't think he will mind. Not using his cushion for obvious reasons!
Well, he will mind but can't do anything about it other than send me cards from the other side..
Talking of SiT my 3 good things.
1. Remembered I had £30 in credit on my Ladbroke account. Asked hubby to pick a horse…… he said “why have you got a Ladbroke account?” My answer “ SiT told me too, he used to give me betting tips” his reply “oh that’s ok then”
2. Hubby cooked a perfect roast beef lunch, and then washed up……yes he’s a keeper.
3. sorry for this one, but masked singer starts again tonight. Marmite I know, but I love it.
This is all starting to go wrong. SiT got you gambling, then drinking? You are a person here with site responsibilities and a new badge. How can you watch the masked singer?
The ladies naughty step beckons.
And a other thing hubbies like yours give hubbies like me a bad name.
Not even got the first day finished!
Our hubbys are so fun sometimes...makes me shake my head...when yours said>> oh that's ok then lol...Man!!! By the way did you win???
, at the moment you will be very lonely at the naughty step..so here as always is a bikkie for you
No I didn’t win, I’m such an amateur x
SiT won 14 grand, the week before I visited him, gave it to Bear to go on holiday with her friend and gave the rest away to his family . Decent man all round.
I see that you are starting the year as you mean to go on Norbs, but you've a bit of a cheek asking for a secretary.
