Hello All
I thought about setting up a thread for us all to use to chat about various stuff across, so it's all in one place and newer members posts not getting pushed down and off the discussion front page before getting an answer.
I hope you are all doing well and not too stuffed on easter eggs?
I have not eaten mine yet! I went to bed friday night not feeling well and woke up Saturday with a horrid migraine throwing my guts up usually I fall asleep and sleep it off. Not so, I ended up going to the OOH doctor Sunday afternoon as was still throwing up
He gave me some lotions and potions and still not right yet. Though haven't thrown up for a few hours now. I going to try and eat something soon (not easter eggys) to see if I can manage that and see if it makes me feel better. I hate being ill! Especially on a bank holiday weekend with such nice weather. I was so looking forward to it and I have slept most of it away.
Hi hope you had a nice time with your friends yesterday, and your cough has eased a little bit.
There was talk of a get together, but nothing has been arranged yet, but would be a lovely idea for a meet up. Xx
Hi Chelle,
Oh you know what it’s like, today I’ve had aches and pains where you didn’t know you could have them - it’s all in the mind!
its a 9 at the local hospital which is 10 minutes away, but it will probably take 30/40 minutes because of the traffic and the school traffic doesn’t help so I will leave @ 8 and go and have a coffee, I wouldn’t mind probably won’t get scan till 10, you get an hour to drink water don’t you.
Theres no need for all this messing is there
Hi Julie
Yes I know the feeling well. One appointment with my oncologist I had completely convinced myself that something was wrong because I actually felt well! How mad is that! My oncologist just shook her head at me, and I said “well I felt well when all this started” .....she couldn’t argue with that.
Hope it goes well for you tomorrow, be careful in the school run xx
Just a bit of excitement when I came home from the hairdressers today. As I’m driving down the road it smelt like someone was having a bonfire. Then as I was getting closer to my road the smoke was so thick I actually thought my house was on fire! I panicked, just for a moment, as my dogs were inside, then as I came into the close I could see it was coming from the woods just to the side of the end house in my close. The fire brigade were there to put it out, but the smoke was so thick , it’s definitely not helped my cough, but so glad no one was hurt. Still to find out what started it.
Good God Chelle, you’re a bit slow - get out there and find out the gossip
Hi Gina, Hi Danni and Hi all. Sorry I have not posted but I can assure you I read all of the posts everyday and often have a good chuckle. The football posts were a hoot and mainly from our lovely ladies and I am a football nut but kept quiet. Now we are onto new suites and hair appointments all out of my league. I had good news at my appointment with my oncologist this week. She confirmed my head scan was clear and the body scan shows no spread, the 3 new lumps in the right lung are stable with no growth and thyroid is still clear. Considering it is 12 months since my op to remove the tumours and I have had no treatmennt I think I am a lucky man. My immune system must be working overtime.
Gina, like all I admire your attitude, it should be bottled and sold, you would make a fortune. I wish you all the best and hope your recovery continues despite all of the problems. I love my bus pass, not that I use it a lot.
Danni, I miss your waffle, come back soon.
How can we have a get together when Danni lives up near Iceland and Gina on some Caribbean Island.. Only joking ladies. I live in the East Midlands, half way between
Best wishes to all on this part of the site. Keep fighting and find something to enjoy, like having your hair done or buying furniture. Big yawn.

Hi Mick,
What a lovely post and with such good news, glad to hear we keep you entertained and you have just returned the favour you’ve just given me a good chuckle
Hi Mick
Great news on your results. 12 months with no treatment and a stable result is brilliant.
Sorry we waffle a bit, but glad we entertain
If Gina is living on a Caribbean island I suggest we all meet there. Mines a pina colada.
Hi, like Humphreybrm I too do look and keep up with how everyone is doing. Unfortunately I don't have much time to reply to the posts, but am so happy to see the support you all give so unstintingly to everyone here and am so sorry that I can't help you more.
So, furniture. You do realise that the summer sales will start in a few weeks? You'll be able to save lots of pennies if you wait a bit. Those spare pennies could then be put to good use by visiting Gina on her tropical island. Mines a Mohito please Chelle. I'm sure Danni will be able to travel from the Arctic wastes but we will need to know prior to travel which tipple we need to order for her. I'm sure there are refreshing whisky-based cocktails available, I'll see if I can do a little research on the subject and report back on my findings. I think Darlo needs relief from Arctic wastes too. Anywhere north of the Humber is an Arctic waste!
With kind thoughts to all in this particular corner of the community.

Hi Albondigas
Good to hear from you. I hope you are starting to feel a little better now. All those hitting at once I am sure is not fun.
I hope you made it to the party and will rest today.
Ugh, you get yourself all in the zone of housework and then the water shuts off. Hopefully it is back on today and you can plough on through.
A break sounds just what you need. So that will be you and Chelle abandoning us for a while this month. I do hope you both have a great time.
Good luck for when you do get your scan results.
Julie - I hope you are on your way for the scan and it all goes well and you keep your road rage in check
At least with it being doing ultra early you can rest for the rest of the day, not having to check the time waiting to see if you need to go yet.
Chelle - What are we like. I go with the theory if I moan about symptoms it turns out they are nothing and I am being a hypochondriac. When I keep my mouth shut and that they will go away, is when it is something. So from now on I will mention everything almost instantly
I hope you did detective work and find out what the fire was all about. Also hope your breathing is ok.
Mick - There you are! Lovely to hear from you and such good news on your scans! This type of new should be shared asap! We love to hear good news. Really pleased for you.
I am so glad we entertain you! Join in any time, not need to keep quite round here
I was going to take a photo of the gorgeous sun over here yesterday to wind up Darlo when I went to the yard yesterday. It went and hid and rained on me! That will teach me for being mean.
Definitely suits me to all come here, at least I won't get lost!
Artemisia - Lovely to hear from you too. I do hope all is going well. I like the sound of the summer sales, I will keep an eye for those thank you.
Ah see, I am not that posh. Good old cider and black and I am happy but I am sure we could find a cocktail bar about and maybe relax on the beach whilst we all catch up.
You know, I am trying to thing the furthest 'up north' I have been and I think maybe Norfolk to view a horse is as high as it goes. I keep meaning to go up higher as the accents get better the further you go
