Which is completely unremarkable I suppose but...this time last year we were told he had cancer and is was most likely a cancer that would claim his life within 12 months even with chemo. In November, after surgery, he was told chemo would do little to help and he had six months to live. Last week we were told his tumours have shrunk by a third which has amazed his oncologist so today we are celebrating the fact he's here to need new shoes.

@Ainesskirt

I hope he has plenty of opportunity to use his new shoes for work and fun with any foster children you may have. you sound like a lovely, caring family.
We had great fun shopping for the youngest fosterling today, we have only had baby boys up until her arrival so we splashed out on her too (and the eldest got some bits too as he is growing like the clappers).

Amazing Grin

That's fabulous news!!!!

I saw you posting on a thread the other day and wondered how your DH was doing, but it didn't seem the right place to ask, so I'm doubly pleased to see this thread!!!

I hope the annoying git wears out many many more pairs of work shoes, but every single day is a fantastic bonus xx
