Londonlass.....I hope you will be back from your hols in time to book LP on a flight to Bordeaux for the 30th. I have some very unpleasant.. ....neuropathy associated .....tests on that day and had thought to book LP . Of course he might not behave well if he swaps his usual fare to red wine and snails! The Bordelaise eat their snails in a bolognese type sauce!
In the mean time I hope you have a wonderful holiday. Try and forget all these unpleasant problems and relax for the week. Are you going far?
Love Karen
Stay Safe everyone, Love and hugs Jenny xxx

Hi Fruitloops
Can I confess to a bit of a wobble tonight?
I'm feeling a bit uncomfortable/sore/odd in my boob. I can't decide if it's the infection getting worse or better or the radiotherapy starting to have an impact. Whatever it is its making me restless.
Then Hubble started on about a trip to Hereford. I sort of missed a bit? I knew we were going to Whitney from Pickering next weekend. To be honest I've been worrying about it a bit. And I knew he'd booked to go to the NEC in Birmingham but my poor letrozole brain had not placed them all on the calendar and added in the four days to Hereford. All this in the next 21 days. I still have 8 more RADS to go!
Did I mention trip up to Northumberland after half term. We will be having granddaughters at half term.
Like I said, a bit of a wobble.
It will be fine. But I might just have a lie in tomorrow.
sounds like you need ..........
Slow deep breaths Hun! Now I don’t want to put a dampener on things but that sounds like an awful lot of travelling in a short period of time! Especially with 8 more Rad sessions to go. You know your boob will continue cooking for a few more weeks. It can become very tender! I know we are all different but I certainly wouldn’t of wanted to be doing all that travelling while I still felt so sore! Not to mention the fatigue that can set in for some, not all.
Could you maybe work out which trips you need to do now and postpone some? It’s important that you allow your boob time to heal. I think sometimes people don’t realise that radiotherapy is really tough on the body and mind! It might just be a quick appointment to actually have the treatment but what it’s actually doing to your body, is pretty full on!
I hope tomorrow is a better day for you Hun! A lie in sounds a perfect idea! Hope your boob starts to feel better soon. If it’s burning at all cold cabbage leaves work a treat! Just stay away from a pet rabbits or guinea pigs!!
Night night Hun! You are doing great! The end is almost in sight!! Xxxx
Hello lovely fruity loops!!
Wow, I had a LOT to catch up on. So here's a hug for you all!!
So, my week. Was pretty crap. I had a migraine that would just not shift. And on call with it, I'm sure the not sleeping properly in case I didn't hear the phone didn't help. Anyhow, I had a medically assisted sleep last night and much better today. Spent a lot of time stuck in traffic going inside M25...... Still managed to be home early a couple of days though, and on Wednesday I built my new arrows. Very pretty, even if I say it myself.
Went to test them today, and pretty close to tuned. Just need to pull the points out and put heavier ones in. Which I thought I might need to do.
We started Alpha at church on Wed evening. I've not done it before, and thought it might be a good time. Afterwards, the vicar (she's lovely) took me aside and gave me an envelope that had been put through her letterbox addressed to Rob and I. It had £200 in it!!!! No idea who it's from.
Turns out the Barebow Indoor Nationals, and the Surrey Indoor champs are on the same day. 24 November. So I'm shooting BBIC in East Sussex from 10am, then fly over to Woking to shoot SIC from 15.45.
Tomorrow will be a lazy day......

Night
I know is northerners are tough but we still have to pace ourselves
slow down a bit choose which trip is least tiring
and postpone the rest. Enjoy half term then a nice quiet trip .
take care Margaret x
I really should go to bed but I’m just so restless! Just listed 3 items to sell on EBay. Want to go rummaging around house for more but might wake hubby and daughter !
So you're the one with items finishing at 2am!
Just awake and neighbours two doors down are having a very loud party. They do this once or twice a year in their garden with lights, plastic flamingos, loud music and in summer mini paddling pools. Is a stormy, rainy night and they're going for it!.
I'm now day 7 of Rocky fourth chemo, sp ep monitor myself with tea then back to bed xx
