AWAKE.........

So, she was happy Christmas Day and enjoyed some M&S roast chicken ( pack lasts her 3 days as small appetite ). Normally she eats Canagan chicken cat biscuits. 

One of the benefits of being on your own is that you can eat and watch on TV  exactly whatever you like

So my TV watching has included: Return to the Chateau ( Christmas special), PO’Grady “ For the love of Dogs”, Jackson Galaxy” My Cat from Hell”, a film “The Duchess ( of Devonshire), which I had seen before staring Keira K very good about the hypocrisy of the gentry in the past. 

Boxing Day:  I really enjoyed a film on Chanel 5 : “Agatha and The Truth of Murder” a fictional account of what happened during Agatha Christie ‘s disappearance in 1926. 

I am also taking Capecitabine oral chemotherapy. 

LondonLass  you are such a wonderful person.

Violetsniff thank you for the Pia diva pic

Snowys Mum sorry that your daughter was stroppy sounds a bit like attention seeking behaviour?

Going to try and get some sleep now ! DN is coming earlier today.

Dear LondonLass

i think you need to sign off sick , even for a few days . You need to make an appointment with citizens advise or someone like that . Get your full financial picture . Get to know your rights. Only then will you have some control. Money isn’t everything but it so very hard without it . 

I don’t know what your qualifications are but you might be able to register with an agency for supply nanny/ baby sitter . 

What you want is flexible working as part of a team , so that you know if your ill that there is someone else able to stand in . 

Sorry I can be a bossy bitch but I do believe knowledge is control . 

Just do a self certificate saying you have a vomiting bug !! They will definitely not want you working !! Tell them anything as long as it’s not  cancer related . If you bump into them in the street,  tell them you have been to doctors / chemist etc . 

Take care and good luck in the fact finding !

Love

....loved seeing Pia with her present,and also the list of what you watched....interesting.I found The Midnight Gang”and enjoyed something a bit light....fab acting,and that Nurse!!!!

just working my way thro posts....xx

....hello....xxx

....it is such a shame emotional stress isnt handled better to make it possible to easily take time off sick with it!...When I got cancer my sister told me it is one thing it is okay to lie as it is such a profound and private thing and often the last thing you want to do is share it with people...I was relieved by that.People can be so nosy.And yes Knowledge is power in @Londonlasses situation,it will help stop your head going round and round LondonLass...good thinking....xx

Hope most of you had a good Christmas, sending hugs to those who didn’t, can’t remember all the names to tag you. Sometimes we just want to  be ourselves, without interference from others, people say things that if they had thought before they said it  maybe they wouldn’t have said it. Cancer is a horrible disease to live with, and only if you are going through it yourself can you really know how it feels. I wish people would stop staying you are looking so well, can’t believe you have cancer, I know they may mean well, but I don’t feel it most of the time, they need to spend a day in our shoes. That’s why this thread is so valuable to us all, we can tell it like it is as no one minds, we are all here for each other. So glad you started this thread LondonLass.

Wishing everyone the best day they can have, love you all and thanks for being there.xx

Just wanted to say THANK YOU for all the advice and support. I don't go back until the 7th so I have a bit more time before I need to go back! I am keeping an eye out for any part time jobs and hoping that something will come along.

I am going to chat with the Hospice Nurse next week and my counsellor! Hopefully by chatting to them I will be able to clear my head a little! I think I know I'm not going to stay until April UNLESS it suits me! IF an ideal looking job comes along I will leave! I can't worry about how it will affect them, as Clearly they haven't really thought about me! Xxx
