The operation

Think the odd expletive would be weird considering what we are all experiencing. So I tend to go for a list then breathe and smile

Hopefully mushroom coffee!!!

My weekend job was in the local corner shop. It was a right of passage to get locked in the freezer to see if you knew how to get out. I DIDN’T and went into girly panic mode . 

Another right of passage was the owner to attempt to corner you in the stockroom ! I had been warned and in those days was nimble and quick. Different times, different times

Lol!! LeoLady, your induction for local shop has made me giggle!! 

I’m also a bit jeal as never been quick or nimble!! Haha!!

Nowt wrong with darts now and then, I've watched harry potter deathly hallows 1 & 2 back to back with ys, 4hrs of chill out, might not have been the best given my morbid thoughts currently, too many scenes set me off, managed to hold myself together, just. Mind you i even shed a tear at most filmy things these days, something about having had kids makes you somewhat soppy and sentimental it seems, then again might just be me.

Lol at leos girly panic mode, would love to know how that differs from normal panic mode!

Little bit of wheeeeee or weeeee

Leolady probably answering after her first glass of wine in days

Tee hee

Hope the wine goes with the anti histamine

Good evening!

With you on the NHS letter thing....even when I know what its going to say my heart races as soon as see one land....you'd think after few months of this horrid buisness we'd be desensitising a bit but personally find just getting more scared by the day. Do a decent job of hiding it most days though and cracking on with things.  

Jolly yup never used to cry at films really but much much softer since having a baby. Long story but when I had my daughter I got critically ill and she was born at 34 wks weighing 3lb 6oz and we had a 3 week stay in hospital. We were both fine after initial hairy couple of hours. I remember watching ladies getting emotional about anything and everything those first few days and thinking no I'm still hard as nails. Then one night i was up in special care feeding her and the nurse said pop her on your skin and chat to her......its been downhill since then, I fill up at the drop of a hat!

Had a nice day out. 2 decent car journeys and 3 hours walking around prob a little much for me 10 days post op but I was determined to have a good day out and grab a bit of normality. Nothing to do at all for next few days so can rest up and be a good girl. 

 Hope everyone has had a good weekend so far. Might be in bed before Libby tonight although always feel guilty going to bed early and leaving hubby on his tod (think he secretly enjoys control of the t.v mind).

Leolady - met this little chap today he seemed to know all the words to We all Stand Together and claims he was actually a member of the Frog Chorus. 

Glad its not just me that cries at drop of hat, i once started blubbing at a P7/Yr 6 leavers assembly and i didn't even have any kids involved in it as they were several years younger then. I was only there as i had helped the class out with a project earlier in year.

I also have to try very hard with my mum, it seems whatever I do is not right, but has been that way since I was a teenager.  My two sisters one older and one younger don't seem to have a problem but do see that my mum has issues with me.  I have two brothers one older and one younger they don't fair much better than me unless she needs something done. 

Hope everyone is having a relaxing weekend and resting up.

I was advised by chemo nurse to take 2 ibuprofen 1 hour before I have to have my injection as last time I got a migraine for the 5 days I had to inject.  I followed her advise and woo hoo it worked. I did take myself to bed for 2 hours this afternoon as today I have felt weak and tired.  It did me the world of good felt much better.  Hope it stays this way.

Love and hugs to everyone

Stay strong

Sounds like you’ve had a lovely day out JammyR. Not been to The Deep but love the one in Birmingham that’s probably very similar. 

While we’re talking tears....am I the only one who cries when restaurant staff sing “Happy Birthday”?? Not just to my my family friends but also to randoms!! My family think I’m a freak!!

With the greatest respect ..... can I just ask how come most of us lovely frogs have already had a ton of poo sent our way. Moms, previous cancer scares, early babies, awkward other halves, no other halves  and children that use every ounce of our strength. So why did we get this stuff???

Do you know why? Because we are survivors. As simple and as beautiful as that. And survive we will. And support we will. And laugh we will. And give hugs we will. Because this time next year we will party either in reality or metaphorically

Loved the Frog Jammy

So let’s : all stand together

Leolady

Oh and by the way I’m crying and I’ve always cried at the simplest thing. Then again I’m an emo Leo xxxxx

Sleep tight and safe
