Blimey, I've missed loads! Sorry to have been awol for a bit.
Had a productive day in Southampton with Mum on Wednesday, getting her a wedding outfit. Did I say my brother got engaged over the summer? Anyway, they are having their wedding at Kew Gardens in December, so its all systems go! DS is being a page boy with SIL-to-be's two nephews, although no fancy suits - they are getting matching Converse boots, and want them in navy trousers and a checked shirt. No morning suits, no bridesmaids, it seems like it'll be very laid back and relaxed. I am delaying buying an outfit until a bit nearer the time, in case, by some miracle, I have dropped a dress size by then!
Picked up new glasses today - quite pleased with them!
Did I also say that I have abandoned the bandannas altogether? I am working towards a very classy Judi Dench- style crop, although still some way off . . .
Sorry, self indulgent post. . . On to more interesting matters!
MAS YAY to clear abdo, and also yoghurt permission. Good luck with the first chemo - when are you starting, tonight or tomorrow? Was in Waitrose today, and thought of you!
Amber and kurri I am with you on the weight loss endeavours! Went to the gym again today - did 50 minutes in total, which nearly finished me off entirely. Upped the speed and the incline on the treadmill a bit, and braved the horrible torturous stepper machine thingy. . .
invicta I think deodorant in the biggest no-no, I was recommended Simple soap, and definitely don't rub the area dry as it can irritate the skin - go for patting dry. Good luck lovey x x
curly my advice would also be regular contact with your friend, even if its just a quick text or fb message. It means a lot to know that people are carrying you in their thoughts.
Epic post - will leave off now, but waving to everyone, hope you all have nice plans for the weekend? Love to all x x x x
