Welcome to January 2022 ! Had a wee trip to sit by the sea through the week ! Always therapeutic .
I think it was that suggested a few weeks ago reconnecting with people so that’s one of my New Years resolutions and have actually made a start on that in Dec .
For those starting or restarting treatment you might like to keep an eye on Bowelbabes Instagram as she is always motivating people thorough treatment .
Hope today is a good one for you all .

Thanks Court.
The photo looks so inviting and has inspired me to think about my New Year resolutions. I have always had the popular choice, must give up something or must join a gym. My resolution to improve myself in a physical way or appearance usually lasts until spring if I’m really determined and then the weather brightens and I get on with gardening etc
So I’m joining you with your resolution, starting tomorrow we are staying in a beautiful Manor House a lovely treat from our daughter Then I’m going to have away days at least once a month.

What a wonderful idea artsie ann.something once a month Im sure is achievable and something to look forwards too.
I am going to start by visiting a friend who I have known since we were at school at age 10.we live a distance apart nowadays but boy is it great when we can meet and catch up in person
Thanks for the idea

Well its an unsettling day today. TED day at school tomorrow, so I was planning on going in to try and catch up on work in a kid free zone. Slightly thrown by them requesting an additional lateral flow test today. Oh well I will see what's going on tomorrow. At least I will have 2 days in hand if I don't want to go in at some stage. My rescheduled CT scan from last week is hopefully happening tomorrow evening as well. So a stressful day, no wonder I am unsettled today!!!
Fingers and toes crossed!
All the very best with your scan Gemmary . Perfectly understandable that the day before scanning leaves you a bit restless. But we are holding out for good news for you .
LFT are now like Gold dust here !
It’s been a wet day here !
Half the decorations are down and one last night with the Christmas tree.
Take care ,

Hello Court this is Ann aka everhopeful. Well it's taken me a couple of years to log back in after system changed Whewww ! Still not too sure what im doing.lol
How are all your family grown up fast I expect. My grandson has now started school and loves it.
This was a spur of the moment thing to come back on and then I saw your post about reconnecting with people and though just do it , may be able to offer some support as it's now been 8 and a half years since I was diagnosed with BC .
Hope to hear from you Court and if anyone else reads this and would like to know my journey please let me know
Ann
Oh can’t say how nice it is to see your avatar and name pop up !
I think your story would give so much encouragement to others so I am delighted you managed to log back in . I can’t believe your grandson is now at school . Seems like yesterday we were welcoming him into this world !
My guys are adults now . Can you believe that ? They were only 7 and 9 when I stumbled onto here but one is on this final year at uni ! Time flies !
Mum is still doing well and keeping me busy !
I will send you a new friends request !
Take care ,

Yes indeed Court look forward to a friend's request. Lots to catch up on.
I'm so pleased your Mum is keeping well , please give her my very best regards . As I've always said she's an inspiration to all of us on here.And the boys. The last thing I recall one had passed his
driving test and the other was learning !!!. As you say time flies, even more recently.
