AWAKE.........

Owwww GBear giving you a great big, squidgy hug - even if you don’t want it.  Reading your post I was thinking ‘I wish I could speak out and give my family (sisters and brother)  what for’. I haven’t got the courage, plus I really  think if I did they would use it as the perfect excuse not to speak to me.  

Then my father was ill - I was there 24/7 trying to help my dad and be support for my mum - nearly 90. They just didn’t bother. After dads passing, iwadthere allthe time -knowing mum would need support. Don’t get me wrong mum is very active, although as no friends; it was just mum and dad against the world. 

You would think after dad passed they would increase visits or take mum out, ha no such luck. They are so wrapped up in their own life,with ‘their’ family! I find it I believable!

what I will say GBear and I’m sure you’ll relate to this; k owing you are there and have been there gives you great strength and peace of mind. Something they won’t have or even realise. 

So I'm with you, in the can’t be bother to even say it - I wished I could, then I think what my husband said ‘you can’t make them visit or care, it had to come from the heart’. 

So I don’t know the answer - be proud at what you do and how far you have come and rest easy knowing you are doing your best, no one can ask for more. 

I cant check this post as I’m sitting in the dark typing on my mobile..... I’m starving, really need something nice to eat or a drinking chocolate

Big Hugs GBear xxxx

Another rough night for me! But let's start the day with something that'll hopefully make us Smile.......

Hope you all have a great weekend xxxxxxx

Hi All, just caught up on a few pages and great to see you all doing so well with surgeries, scans, appts etc. I’m off to Town tonight to meet up with my old forensic work mates. The last time I met up with them I was mid chemo and had my wig on, so am a tad nervous, although I have loads of hair now!

I am soooo looking forward to the meet up in November. All Bar One is booked and we have the same spot as before, (for any previous attendees). It will be so lovely to see you all again and to meet some new faces too, (sad as we are that you looked for us, I know we are all so happy that you’ll be with us). See you all soon and for those that can’t make it, the obligatory pics will no doubt be posted, lol! Xxx

Thanks for the good wishes and the fireworks lovely people! And yes, I have plenty more ballet booked for the rest of the year and up until May next year! 

GBear - sorry that you had to deal with the ignorant person - hope you're okay now. Have a lovely time at the seaside!

- whoop, congratulations on getting the surgery over with, and make the most of the time off work! 

- well done on your MacMillan morning! We made the most of the one at the chemo unit as I was there to see the oncologist and he always runs late. Plenty of time to eat cake... 

- hugs to you on your tough week. Glad to hear that your Mum's funeral went as well as these things can. Fingers crossed that your CT scans will show stability and that there is nothing to be worried about in your neck. 

Hugs to everyone who needs them today!

To those of you let down , when you have helped people , but they weren’t there for you ,I like “ don’t cross an ocean for someone if they wouldn’t jump over a puddle for you.  “. A friend has let me down badly this week , but I am lucky to have some more .......the sun is out here , hope you all have as good a weekend as possible........x

So Sorry to hear you were let down,...and GBear I know the feeling more than once since having cancer,from old friends too...terribly hurtfull.But am so glad you have new friends.

just wantd to say to all ,especially thise who did coffee mornings....When I was in The Laines in Brighton I bumped into a sensible-looking lady and asked her where ChiccyWoccy Doo Dah was?As I was in a blurry hurry for chocolate it took a while to focus that it was a School teacher and her (probably) 5th form,and they were all in smart yellow T shirts collecting for and raising awareness of Cancer.I stopped and thanked them all and they were so sweet when I recounted I had ahd it,and I hugged them nearest girl.They were lovely and gave me a sticker.I hope it brought a little appreciation to their lovely gesture.

Ok home, finally got settled completely knackered and not sure about GBear more like Panda Bear with my two black eyes, my warning I have done too much Normally only get one black eye but two, double trouble! I will no doubt suffer later! Infact i am pretty sure i will because i am really sore, i hate my body sometimes especially when my mind makes arrangements my body cant take.But the weather was very kind and it was nice to smell the sea breeze, miss the sea so much, walking along the seafront. But my goodness i think my body is saying what the hell you doing to me at the moment. 

Good evening dear fruit loops,

After a quick read back I see that fireworks are in order for I'm so pleased Cathy xxx

Well done  on your successful coffee morning xxx Sending hugs and best wishes to all, I'm off to bed as working in morning, Love to everyone xxx
