Lovely Lilly in a very festive scene

Hello Chelle, Lilly is very happy that she can set the bells swinging at the bottom of the tree again. Not sure why she has selected her toy to sit on instead of playing with it. Oh well who knows what is going on between her ears at times . Steph very kindly posted the picture, so I don’t need to leg it to the Chemist to get some tranquillisers. Never used them and don’t think I will ever do, but this picture issue had me close on the brink of giving in

i hope everyone is doing ok and that tests, results etc. are kind to you all. Sending a big warm hug to everyone

I’m glad Steph was able to help you! The tree looks lovely. I have decided not to put a tree up this year because of Alfie, I think it will just be too stressful, I know he wouldn’t leave it alone. I told my dad that this morning, and he was mortified! He said your mum wouldn’t be happy with you not putting a tree up ! I had to remind him that he doesn’t put a tree up himself ! 

Im glad Lilly is good with the tree, she looks very content just looking at it x 

Good morning Chelle, have you thought of maybe attaching the tree to the wall with a bit of string. I did that when my dog (la few year back) was a wee pup, so it would not topple. Worked a treat for us. We used to have 2 dogs and 3 cats. They all lived happily side by side and brought such joy and happiness to our family. Have a nice day, sending a big hug x

Good morning TVman, just wondering if you have had success with finding your puzzle. Just wrapped a puzzle for my little grandson and you popped into my mind. My daughter and I were chatting yesterday and hopefully we will manage to get a few days in Belfast, in the Spring, health permitting. Hug to Mrs TVman and yourself from

Hi Angie and Lily

Looking very festive! I am glad you are feeling better after quite a few months of troubled health. What is your Christmas plan? 

Winston has been trying to pull the bubbles off the tree  he has already broken one!

I had my chemo yesterday and that is it for a while or longer I hope. Still Can’t get my head around this sudden change of direction of my treatment and prognosis. Trying to stay cautiously optimistic but find it hard to adjust

Goid morning Stella, love your tree. It looks a bit like mine . So happy for your new treatment plan. My bloods were to low this week so have to get them done next week again. Winston’s antics always bring a smile to my face. He is such a wonderful character. Lilly does not bother with dissecting the tree anymore. My oldest girl will be home for Christmas around the 18th until the 30th. We all have Christmas Dinner at my daughter Laura’s, she has a large dining room and can accommodate us all. It’s always great crack with the grandchildren. What are your plans since Germany is not happening this year? Hopefully next year will be a good one for all of us on the macmillan site. Have a good day and tell Winston Lilly is sending her love

Loving seeing everyone’s trees - we are going to pick ours tomorrow 

I had a telephone appointment with my CNS - all is well with my recent blood tests and I can continue as planned with my targeted maintenance drug. This will finish at the end of February when I will be scanned again and see my oncologist- it will have been 6 months since my last scan 

We’ve booked a week in Tenerife in January so with Christmas to look forward to as well I feel very lucky at the moment 

Love to all
