Thanks Helen (Snowys Mum)
I've actually got one on the needles at the moment! They're doing a stocktake from the end of next week so may not get many done before then! I'm trying to teach myself to crochet as that would be quicker, but I'm a bit rubbish!!!
After a fairly sleepless night (where was my sleepy dust? Think it disappeared!) worrying about the cake, I rationalised a few things today. a) was going to be making too big a cake - I had been in a state of panic about that! b) got all supplies now - including a smaller, 9” tin! c) new plans have been made and I’ve watched icing videos on line so know what I’m trying to do, phew!
Think I will sleep easier tonight, and just in case, here’s a new fresh supply of sleepy fairy dust, mega-early!

Hi everyone,
Sorry, I have been a RUBBISH fruit loop lately! 2020 has been a bit tedious so far... too much hospital, too little family time and normal life. I've been disappointed because the chemo hasn't yet been as effective as they hoped and it's feeling like a lot of pain for little gain! But I am slooooowly getting onto more of an even keel. Lately I've been feeling a bit "emotionally overwhelmed", for lack of any better phrase, and I really thought that my mind was just going to pieces and that I'm cracking up completely along with everything else! LondonLass re. crying, I sobbed all over my poor GP's room today - embarrassing! But she didn't seem to think I was being totally feeble and actually had some really good suggestions, so perhaps the embarrassment was worthwhile!
Hope you are all doing ok xxx
Hi ,
good to see you posting, as the mum of a lymphoma survivor I had been concerned about you dropping off the radar, but understand how tough the chemo can be. However even if results aren’t what they want there are still options. I know cos daughter (though a different Lymphoma) was young when she began but even after a long illness and lots of treatment, has been in remission now since 2011. So there’s hope. And NHL has a new treatment called Car-T.

Good morning Sal, I only post very rarely but I follow the fruit loops every day although I'm an incurable kidney cancer lady. I hope sleep comes to us both soon xx
Sorry fruit loops that l have been quiet on Thursday I went to my physcolgist session and welled up nearly three times in hour three times!! Ap to be honest I'm struggling more than I thought up that most since diagnosis so I think this going to 3a good thing me going and get some help and coping techniques. I then slept all afternoon. I have also received my date for my MRI hurrah!! Let's hope spiral can do something with this back. I've been shattered since my physcolgist appointment. One thing which is good I've booked spa day for me and two friends on tuesday two hour spa use and afternoon tea.

Think he wanted feeding hes in very weird mood lately more so at night bumped into things licking coal apparently that is sign of cat being anaemic though does that in the day squealed when I picked him up other night which broke my heart.
