Hi everyone,
Just setting up a new chat thread for September. If you would like to catch up on August's chat you can click here. Please note that it's now locked, so you won’t be able to reply to that thread.
The chit chat thread is for: Daily Life chit chat for bloods, scans, appointments, going shopping, cutting grass, reading, watching some thing decent on TV - whatever your day has in store for you. That is daily life!
Hi Moi, lovely to see you posting. We are away next week for our caravan holiday in Essex. We have a beach hut booked for one day at Walton on the Naze which has the most amazing beach, but think we will be needing jumpers instead of t shirts! It will be our puppies first holiday so will be interesting to see how he likes it, and my Dad is coming along too. It should be fun x
Hi Chelle, enjoy your beach break. Wrap up warm, blow the weather just dress for it. We all need a nice break from normal routine. Ours is usually Southport and I buy shoes!!! Yes I still have a shoe fetishism. (Excuse the spelling). XX

Have a nice break Chelle! I'm sure the puppy will have a great time too. Typical autumn day here, windy, cloudy but quite mild with temperatures set to reach the mid-twenties over the weekend

Good evening
I had my chemo yesterday so just laying low. Try to go up and down the stairs as instructed by my physiotherapist. Wish I lived in a bungalow now I have received all my shopping parcels so are looking forward to wearing them soon. Although it is going to be 25C tomorrow so the new cashmere has to wait.
Happy belated birthday Kate. Your husband’s present sounds wonderful.
Chelle have a wonderful holiday with your puppy.
Ellie really glad you liver function is better and can start on your treatment again.
Lee and Lucy: how are you both doing?
Patrick: are you ready for your holiday?
Angie and Lily: hope you are both keeping well. Winston send his love.
Eddie: hope you are having a fab time in Scotland.
Love Stella xx
Doing ok thanks Stella, I’m also trying to keep as active as possible with exercise - helps my head as much as my body . I’ve started going to some exercise classes with a couple of friends, it’s great , just do as much as you can individually, no pressure- we have a laugh too which helps
Hi Ellie, It is good they have sorted that quickly so you can get back to to treatment soon. Because of side effects my dosage was changed a lot. At first, I thought surely it won’t work as well but it didn’t seem to make any difference. I hope things will settle down now for you!
Love Annette x
