So in 5 days time I have the operation to remove the tumour - randomly known as Ian.
Hope everyone has had lovely day, whether on own, with families, quiet, loud or in different.
Jammy touche from your mum. Ah fantastoc gymnastic, know it well, ys got it from a friend for his birthday earlier this year. Quite fun after a drink or two when kids are tucked away, highly competitive
We'v had a reasonable quiet day, just my cousin over for lunch, a family game of triv pursuit and just general chilling. Off to the in laws and family visits over the next few days before new yr, then hubby has booked a few days away for us all in a cottage before we're back at school in jan
Jacks, food too, as leo says true meaning and spirit of christmas, bless you.
I don't have a good relationship with my mother, did put a note in her xmas card about the vague outlines of op, she's still not mentioned anything about it, no doubt she'll come out with some inappropiate, insensitive comment when we do see her, expecting 20 questions from in laws, but they at least care bless them.
Enjpy your family time and unless have chance will catch up in new year
Love and hugs to all
Evening ladies
Phew we are home alone at last, well at least until tomorrow.
I know doing everything is tiring normally but I am absolutely wiped out tonight.
Fair play to your mum Joanne, seriously I would have been the same as her. I just think sometimes people forget just how serious things can be for us ladies.
Hope you’ve all had an amazing day with family and friends and have lots more fun planned for tomorrow.

Woo hoo we survived Christmas Day in Leolady household
The sis in law hardly moved a manicured finger and kept saying ‘ should you be doing that Lindsay’. Youngest daughter eventually said ‘ no mom shouldn’t so maybe you could ‘ Gave her a big hug
Think youngest daughter and Jammys mom get big high 5s from us all. As to sisters who have Christmas meltdowns . Really this is life not a movie ( moobie as grandson would say)
So just hubby, me and in laws later. We’ve played games this morning. Hubby has made ubiquitous Christmas soup. Then it will be full steam ahead for arrival of grandson - Zippy. He called me yesterday to show what Santa had delivered . That was lovely and I cried afterwards. Get a grip I told myself.
Jammy have another wonderful day. And you know the team is here when you surface sometime in the next few days. Sending lots of love and hugs.
Going to look for the gymnastics game. Daughter and her wife are both personnel trainers and are SO SO competitive. Could be fun!!!!!!!!!!
Take care
God speed

Just popping on very quickly to say...Jackie by the time I'm next on here (no signal at hosp usually so probs be Thursday if get home and can use my right arm!) if you get results of the test hope and pray its a big fat LOW but will be thinking of you and know you will adopt your usual pragmatic and sensible approach whatever the outcome.
Catch up soon ladies xx
Jammy, will be thinking about you tomorrow, hope everything goes well with the op. Will see you on the other side, I'm off visiting family for a few days so will be unlikely to check in, so in the interim, hope everyone is ok, managing to put bc behind them for a few hours/days over the week.
So so so unlike me but .......
Awake thread - of which some of us are part of - are going for a big post accumulator how many hits can they get
So as Sia would say:
Come on, come on, turn the radio on
It's Friday night and I wont be long
Gotta do my hair put my make up on
It's Friday night and I won't be long
We will get to a bigger number team
So so sorry AWAKE
Leolady
Phew, just got into bed and that’s my bit done for Christmas.
Great day with all of the family here, cleared up most of it but floors are covered in god knows what but it can wait until the morning.
Joanne, been thinking about you today, lots of good wishes on their way to you for the morning. When you’re able to just let us all know you’re ok.
LL we can do it!!
Results day for me anytime from the morning onwards.
I’ve agreed to accept a phone call for the score to save travelling to the hospital. Im sure my heart will be racing every time the phone rings until I get them. Low low low is what it needs to be and then I can get my RT sorted, hormone tabs and then get down to the business of getting some normality back in my life.
I hope you’ve all had a good couple of days and are back on here with your amusing tales soon.
Xxxxxxx
Have attempted to stay awake and out of bed but no luck
It Blooming snowed here today and I was in a fit of apoplexy that the in laws would be here until New Year AAAAGGGGGHH
But hubby persuaded them all was fine to venture out
So beds and towels all washed and changed
But energy sapped so not able to wait up for the grandson's arrival.Message from D in law that they had endured a windy ferry ride . Oh dear. Message from grandson is can I wake her up in the morning and can we have beans on toast. YOU blooming bet we can best boy.
Well all has been quiet on this thread. I popped onto others.
Jammy Joanne looks like if positive thoughts were medicine you'd be sorted
Bro in laws oncology day tomorrow. OH WTF with this stuff
So rant over.
Take care
