Well. Welcome to this thread.
You may be surprised why it is here or happy it is here. Then again: ‘You have got to be joking! Do you know what is wrong with me?’ may be your response.
This all began on the Extreme Fatigue thread. On there several people wanted and needed inspiration/incentive to get out and walk. Many people see the benefits of it in their life and to help on this; mad journey, train ride, rollercoaster ride and other positively rude words journey called Breast Cancer.
It is not a thread created to make anyone feel less than they do at present. It is not a thread that will set people against one another. Being competitive with yourself or a simple challenge to yourself is the point, but not a race against others is a key premis.
The idea is that you can do any of these or none:
Well here goes.
Either it will grow and blossom, with lots of lovely people benefiting. Or I will have egg all over my face – not for the first time in my chequered life and career.
Leolady – may be adding in the odd gallop to my walks.
PS if you don't like us don't be cruel.
Oooooh, I HATE those long-sleeved white jackets!
Reminded of an old pop song 'They're coming to take me away, haha'........
And oh yes, pencils with erasers (not rubbers, we don't want our friends across the pond seeing this!) on the end are valuable tools here at BP, especially when writing menus to run on the Bombe!
We do this for real sometimes, genuine challenges, great fun especially when we get decent times of 'job up'!

ps, yes I believe Matron really IS a stinker!

Hi all just a very quick note to say walking was around town to mans appointment and then meet his 'brother' in pub for catch up.
The notable thing was ...I wore shoes... you know, not boot or trainers but actual shoes with a little heel that clipped when I walked!!! Exception though and normal service had been resumed. Trainers to take dog out.
Well done to everyone emerging from the snow drifts and oh yeah my icicles part dripped away and part dropped away without spearing anything alive.
Take care
Why do I have to be affraid.. Is it because , and moomy are bonkers !!!!! If so , I am affraid.
Jacmatholmad thoses pictures are ace, very crisp and fresh looking.
Me and lad were out and about doing jobs today, so have no idea how far we walked. It was fresh though, I thought my lugs had fallen off . So did not make it manchester so no boots. I keep forgetting to do things, chemo brain.
Out with teenager tomorrow.
Take care gang. Xxx
....ha ha !yes!....we think the same....hahaha...(shhhhhhhh!)
yes it was cold-luggy weather....(even indoors have my pj hoodie up!)
only be afraid coz I might catch up with your mahoongusly long walks xx
Moi, bonkers? Nah!
Well perhaps a wee bit.....(when you’re facing whatever but nothing except a biopsy tells you you’ve begun in some sort of regime to bump off the cancer they tell you you’ve got, after watching your daughter go through long years of a different cancer, then I suspect you’re allowed to act a touch bonkers?)
Bunkers might just get me through all this and out the other side?
Today will be escorting hubs round our local big Costco, so not walking outside much....but I will be pushing the trolley cos he will be wheeling his wheelchair!

...well said...in Alice In Wonderland I believe it say..”All the best people are bonkers”xx
Are we all still here???? Lots of talk of white coats yesterday, am getting worried!!
i have a big night out planned......I am therefore sitting all afternoon on the sofa in the hopes I don't embarrass myself and fall asleep too early! Hubbie has tickets to see Elbow at the O2 in hospitality so a box with food and drink at hand :-) we are then stopping out on London in a hotel and have managed to organise Mother to look after kids and Rads to let me come in later tomorrow. I may be on my knees tomorrow but I AM HAVING A BIG NIGHT OUT. Capitals is my excitedness!!
snuck in a short walk too.
Yes, I haven’t yet been carried off by folk with my arms tied round my back, am off to. a pre-op today, sentinel node biopsy Friday, it’s all kicked off.....then mastectomy with implant April 3rd.....
Heck!
Did get my trolley push all round Costco though, now a speedy sarnie and off to hospital!
