They've decided he's had enough (after 3 times of having cancer), so next step after a month's break is radiotherapy!

Finally getting somewhere.

OMG!!! How are you now?

I will have to check the size, but I think 12-18. Eve doesn't wear them, just big girls vests for potty training.

Yeah, things are looking up now. He feels better already, must be the psychological aspect.

I have had to hold a lot in the past couple of years. Tried to be strong for him and dd. Maybe not the best way, but it has helped dh, I feel.

I know... I do have some good friends, and work has been fantastic (shame we're being made redundant).

Off to bed soon, but I'll be here tomorrow. :)
