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.

Three good things.
1 The sun has been shinning all day it is lovely, and makes you fill so much brighter.
2 Been to the Dentist this morning and was not half as bad as what i thought.
3 Have washed two floors, done a little ironing and wrote my name is some dust,
So for me i have had a real good day, do not have them often,
take Care Everyone Elliexx
1. Trees still looking lovely where they have managed to hang onto their leaves
2. Me and my very old dog achieved a very short walk ( she limits the distance not me!)
3. Got a political rant in on this forum.
I got confused, my three good things were all about me. Everybody else's were about lovely days out. Apart from Ellie who always does some hard work!
I will try harder. So nice to post again, I have really missed everyone on here.
Norberry i have to try and do at least one job a day for my own benefit, keeps my mind occupied, as i hate this being on my own now
Take Care Ellie x
Morning, well i will not say what i have done already.
Norberry i could sir here all day some times, reading replies and replying, so when i have done something i do not fill guilty Having a cup of tea now.
Must say some times i should double check my replies as spelling is terrible, muct be grenlins i think.
You Have a Good Day Ellie xx
Hi all, have been thinking about Daloni and how much this thread she started helped so many of us. I'm hoping that many others will have some good news to post too.
We've had a beautiful sunny day with blue skies and a light frost.
Went for a dog walk on the common with our sons and their other halves. Our oldest son has a 4 month old Labrador puppy and we have an 11 year old young at heart cairn terrier. They were very funny together and although it was only 3* it felt quite mild in the sun.
Afterwards we had hot drinks outside on the decking my husband put up a couple of months ago and watched all the birds in the feeders, not a bit put off by the 2 dogs.
Whether it's personal or more general, I'd really love to read some good news. xx
What a cracking day out Tinalay. If you could bottle that and have a sniff of it now and again, you would feel 21!
I did 1/ nothing
2/ less than nothing
3/ finished off with a small kip.
I think Daloni would say " why not"
