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.

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.

Thats great Ellie, all the advice from those who know on here said to make sure you have a connection with the councillor . It seems that has worked out a treat.

Its certainly given you energy thats for sure. Enjoy your day out with your sister, you must be ever so pleased with today's events.

We had estate agents around today, I have never done so much housework in the last tree days. I thought we lived in a little bungalow not a 10 bed mansion! Xxxx

Hello ruthjp. I left a post about some new caps I found that you might like. I'm in the same boat hair-wise.

Meanwhile, here are my 3 good things for today.

1) Hubby made me panackes with maple syrup and apricots for breakfast. Super treat.

2) Had a Zoom call with my daughter which was just a lovely way to spend 2 hours and down a mug of coffee.

3) The sun is bright in our garden room and I feel warm and relaxed.Just enjoying the blue sky and watching the birds.

All great things Rainieday. But.......with Tinalays Hubby doing jerk chicken for her and your Hubby doing pancakes for you , it leaves us less capable hubbies looking a bit lacking in effort?

Well you never know what you can do until you try. I was always the cook, but my being in hospital for 2 months concentrated the mind and when I got home I found that my lovely other half could now whip up a pretty good curry; pasta with pesto veggies; stir-fries and some lovely Greek mezes and stews. He now bakes bread!

If you don't feel like cracking open the cookbook then a cuppa and some posh bikkies will always earn you some brownie points, as will an ice-cream sundae. No cooking required.
