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.

Why do you steam the doors? Couldn't you prise them open?
Oh dear, another SiT in the making. Droller and more droll.! It never used to be like this on here. We all recognised we were to ill to make jokes. Bring back that happy time, sorry, unhappy time.
Is LaN back from discussing your failings yet? Rather than just a couple of hours, perhaps she might make it a proper, full weekend mini-break and get it ALL out... Just sayin'...
Also, have you considered that the "Small, cheap disgusting stogie" was ACTUALLY Badger POO!!!!! Hahahaha...
Oh Norberry...first i'm soooo proud of you for doing the kitchen cabinets BUt the Cigar?? Really?? you could have fainted...poor Mrs Norberry..tztz
it’s amazing that you achieved so much in such a short timeframe. Your wife will be so pleased about the badger holes and your half cigar was very well deserved. xx (how did I do?) xx
You did make me chuckle. Your posts brighten my day. Keep them coming. Hope you had a BRILLIANT day again today.
