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.

And I have just had a trigger warning, I think it was the moderators imagining me in my Tena wear!
Glad the house move is going forward.
good to be prepared with the right underwear.

Yes Norbs, I share things I'd never have dreamt of these days.
I hope the estate agents earn their keep!

Three good things
Best wishes to all

Feeling a bit low tonight so thought I’d post three good things, just to remind myself of the good stuff
1. Had lovely holiday in west Wales with my family, brought up in the industrial heartland of Wales but never been west.
2. Had a lobster roll, bit of an extravagance but why not, freshwater west beach, absolutely stunning
3. Visited Iron Age village which was really interesting, so much that my 19 year old has investigated historical fire lighting, making his own char clothe
just for good measure, perhaps being greedy but why not, I do sometimes lose count!!
1.cottage we stayed in was lovely with a great quiet swimming pool, my daughter and son came swimming with me ace
2.west Wales, more correctly spelt wet Wales was uncharacteristically relatively dry, only light rain all week
3. Came home to have a lovely evening with daughter nbr 2 who lives nearby with her firefighter boyfriend and their gorgeous rescue greyhound
