Very impressive Christmas decorations! We are all coming around yours for Christmas party .
Ellie I can’t sleep well with steroids so was a bit restless last night. Hopefully a bit better today. Looking forward to the crush tomorrow.
Not doing much today as have the pump still attached to me. Hopefully a walk outside as it is sunny and windy today.
Morning
K used to do my house work, when on them and eat sorry to say.
I had five days of them, every one can have a different amount.
Enjoy you walk.
Morning Stella, glad you like the decorations, the servants put them up lol. But sadly no Christmas party at my place as its a building site, Im sorry the steroids mess up your sleep, if possible taking them early in the day can help. and I hope you get outside soon as there's some awful weather coming later today.

Morning everyone, I hope your all doing ok and have something nice to do today .
Lee, I hope everything went well yesterday for you my friend.
Angie, best wishes with your chemo today, hopefully side effects are mild.
Hi Ellie, how are things going with getting appointments, have PALS, been able to help.
Stella, like you I'm hoping to go for a walk with Poppy, then do the cards and presents this afternoon.
love Eddie xx
Morning Eddie, I am not starting my chemo tablets until Saturday again. Still feeling a tad tired but going for short walks if the weather permits. Going to be awful for the next few days. Have everything I need in so don’t have to go out and about. Hope you are keeping fine and that Mandy is doing ok too.
love Angie and Lilly xx
Good day
Not been up to much today just went for a walk and bought some nibbles to help with nausea. M&S Worcester sauce crisps are particularly good for this.
Angie hope your chemo pills are not giving you too many side effects. What is your cycle like?
Ellie I try to only take 1 steroid tablet a day instead of two. It mainly helps with sickness.
Eddie Hope you and Shiela had a relaxing day too.

Hi Angie, sorry I thought it was Saturday today, lovely to hear your managing a few short walks, that's a big step forward, I hope the weather allows you to stretch your legs occasionally, I'm ok, missing Sheila, even though we skype twice a day, I was treated to a surprise few hours at the local Spa this morning/afternoon by a friend, I've been through my freezers again, as my auntie and partner in Fort William are visiting for 3 weeks over the hols, though I will still be visiting her soon, and will bring them back with me, anyway, will need a few things for when they come, and thanks Angie, Mandy's doing really well, bags of energy, sleeping well and looking forward to Christmas with her boys and family, how's your little princess, I'm guessing she's not a fan of wet or windy weather, keep warm and cosy my friend, I mean you not Lilly.
love Eddie xx
Hi Stella, I have to ask, how do you find out worcester sauce crisps are good for nausea, surely if your feeling nauseous, the strong smell or worcester sauce would put you of them, but well done you, managing a walk so soon after starting chemo, PS M&S raspberry trifles are fab.
Unfortunately Sheila, goes to Australia every winter, she suffers from SAD, really badly, so her stopping here means an awful time for everyone, much better she goes, luckily she has a sister she stays with, and if my treatment throws no surprises, I'm hopeful of joining her in the new year, I hope you sleep better tonight.
