New thread

Afternoon all - computer problems here too gracie, - it didn't like me trying to recharge my ipod, so has been frozen and emitting a loud beep every few seconds for the last half hour. Fortunately DD sorted it before I threw it out the window did something rash!

Good luck to Over and Gig for chemo, make the most of your nice meal Over - Gig thank you very much for Howard's way which came this morning - looking forward to settling down and reliving my past - Whoever wants the DVDs next - PM me and I'll send them on when I've finished - if there's several people organise them to do the rounds

SMEE glad you have arrived safely down under, - I may forgive you for not taking me - I haven't decided yet - topsy and I will have a cage fight for the sailors, - I will win because I fight dirty

MAS - toilet dreams are very anxiety related, - awful things. My two main anxiety ones are having to take important exams when I haven't studied any of the course (usually history A level and I keep saying 'but I have a History degree' and no one takes any notice!) or trying to pack a very large amount of stuff into a small car in a critically short time period. V, wearing!

I'm glad you liked the choc hope your mum is a bit better and it will be lovely to have your boys home.

gracie - good luck with number seven - the end is in sight now Hope picc line holds up and is OK when checked today.

Waving to SR and Baskets (happy birthday junior Baskets)

My dog jumped onto me in the middle of the night and put her paw right in my eye and scratched it, - I've got some ointment from the docs I have for my thyroid eye thing so shoved some of that in it - still a bit scratchy this morning though. Dogs eh?

love to all xx

they should be back by 4 ! and nice friend is coming by a 2

Oh and mosquito has bitten me on the bum - that concludes the news bulletin from Kurri's house.

glad your eye is better topsy but ouch about kk's !

Snigger re kks bum

And you're dog is obviously on my side , she is making sure you are handicapped for our cage fight to the death for Smees sailors

• your obs ...

Have the Belfast ladies noticed a thread on Chat about good places to eat in Belfast?

Hope you and yours are all okay today, esp those having chemo. Thanks for birthday greetings for boy1 - it's funny seeing him referred to as 'mini' - he is 22, 6 ft 2 - a long time since he was little though of course he'll always be my baby! DH made cake before he went out his morning - this is excellent news as I have other jobs to do, and a bit tired after weekend (though much better than yesterday). I am very impressed and grateful that dh did this.

In hospital waiting to start chemo. topsysome saddoperson has put all of Howard's way into you tube if you google it.
Happy birthday to baskets dd .
Poor kurri about bite but spooky as I have identical exam dream. Most of nightmares involve dr visit and hospital now.

They aren't that hunky if smee Is in area I think . But there are some good pubs.

gigs hope today goes well, me tomorrow (no 2 of 12, not that i'm counting!) and dreading it.

my recurring dream is also exam related. Someone tells me I still have to take one of my finals and I can't remember a thing about Romantic Poetry!

am fantasising on another thread about a camper van

My bum is not amusing topsy

Whenever I think of sailors together, I imagine them like the ones in those old Hollywood musicals, like On The Town, - dressed in white sailor suits, singing and dancing etc. - It's possible I am out of date with my visualisation though

I've been having the exam dream for about 30 yrs now Gig - I never managed to resolve anything though when I have it, - it's just the same old loop going round! Academic education has a lot to answer for!

Ouch kurri for both ends.

Nurse has been and picc was being good so prechemo bloods off to lab. She had just left when I stuffed a biscuit in my mouth and broke one of my back teeth. Has anyone had treatment whilst on chemo? Nurse said I may have to wait until week 3 but it is feeling a little tender as there is only half a tooth left and it was a tooth which was previously filled. Filling is gone too.

baskets didn't see thread will have a look although I'm probably not the best to advise as its ages since I have been out in Belfast.

gracie - I had a temporary filling put in while I was on chemo, and then had it repaired properly once I'd finished. Maybe your dentist can do something just to make sure you don't have any pain until you can have more extensive repair.

I had 2 teeth break - I think chemo affects your teeth (another bonus!), - but I think you have to avoid invasive treatment unless its absolutely necessary.

As a former resident of Plymouth (home of many sailors and marines) I can confirm that they no longer dance around in little white sailor suits kk
I too pine for the olden days

Thanks kurri I probably can't have anything done this week as chemo in the morning. I'll give them a ring and see if they could see me next week and keep my fingers crossed for no pain.

My recurring dream is always about first of all not being able to dial for help on my phone (always keep hitting the wrong numbers for 999)
And secondly that I need to drive somewhere in an emergency situation .
And as I can't drive , that's always an interesting one !

I second kk I'm afraid Gracie
Temp filling till after chemo !

Gigs what kind of genius saddo would load all of Howards Way onto YouTube ???

Bastard line started playing up and was all feverish so no chemo for me but blood tests and anti bio. Was fine til they touched it so stuck in here for at least another day.

Absolulte pisser as was just fine til they put something in line then fever in about 20 minutes.

I coildnt say what kind of Saddo topsy

Oh and third til post chemo- I shelved Dentist advice on cleaning pre chemo as was giving me ulcers .

Oh no gigs thats a bummer with your line but better they find out now so that they can get it sorted.

Oh crap Gigs !
That's a total bummer
What can I do to entertain you ?

We have a Foo Fighters open air concert about 3 miles away , and it's like they are playing in the next room .
Must be hellishly noisy there !

We need some orange men or similar.
The annoying thing is that have been fine since stopped mess and gave me paracetamol and antibio. I hope can start tomorrow as don't want to lose too much weekend.

gigs sorry to hear you are stuck in hospital. What a bummer.

topsy we used to live near Knebworth House where they have all the open air concerts, my dd said once 'mummy turn the lady down' - it was Chris de Burgh!

I'm on chemo tomorrow with 6.30 am start so won't be posting much tomorrow. Hope yo all keep as well as you can given insect bites, noisy buggers and toothache :)

that's rotten gig Lots of love to all having treatment xxx Boys are home and it's lovely - proper dinner tonight (baked fish -yum)
