Hooray my internet is back. Just need to get Sky sorted as at the moment we only have 1 working TV as apparently the connection that sends the signal around the house is broken. My goodness my weekend has been long without any distractions.

Huge good luck vibes for you today gigs also hope your dodgy tummy is a bit better.

Have missed so much and trying to catch up but know that I have been thinking of you all. I did spot on Facebook wonderful news from topsy - excess amounts of wine must be the way to go Grin.

Hope everyone stays warm today. I have to brave the elements and go for my MRI. Just hope I don't make a fool of myself and fall on the way to the bus. Feeling very nervous as this will hopefully give the answer to the query about the liver and bone mets.

It is good to be back.

topsyturner · 22/01/2013 10:41

Good to see you back .
Good luck with the MRI , when do you get the results ?

Think I need choklit now ...

graciesmall09 · 22/01/2013 10:57

Not sure when the results will be back. Hopefully onc will contact me next week as I need my echo results before they will give my my next Herceptin which is due next Friday. Hope you are having a good day with your kiddies. Mine are all at school thankfully

Gigondas · 22/01/2013 11:08

Tons of luck gracie - it will be noisy so ask them to put music on.

Feeling very washed out and nervous

MaryAnnSingleton · 22/01/2013 11:09

Thank you Smile.

Just had a call that DS rugby cancelled Grin. He played yesterday and was like a drowned rat.

Is your appointment today as well mas?

smee · 22/01/2013 12:34

Lots going on today then, if it's you too MAS. Thinking of you and Gracie and of course you Gig. Candle burning bright for you. x

Pen, not long to go now. How are you today??

Haven't heard from AtoZ for a few days now. Hope she's okay. Are you out there AtoZ? Let us know how you are if you're up to it.

Topsy, when's HND out? Surely soon? She's been in for ever. Shock

Snow's half ice, half slush here. Bit bored of it now so don't mind if it goes. Not much going on. Less paranoid though, as connected chest/ breast aching with sledging. D'oh..! Grin

MaryAnnSingleton · 22/01/2013 13:22

nope - not me today...
Am going out soon in car,should be ok as main road and A3 -got to buy new pens and things for my mum's birthday...

Rushing in to say Good luck Gigs - will be thinking of you gorgeous girl xx

Good luck to gracie for MRI, and massive hugs for nerves xx

handholding for you both.

lots of love to everyone who is waiting for appointments, tests, ops, etc.

MAS - DD says thanks for the e-mail - she liked it Grin

My art club committee meeting has been cancelled tonight - thank goodness because the country roads are awful still.

Have had my hair snipped short - I am no longer Beaker, - more of a nailbrush Grin

Old lady dog found a bag of dog biscuits in my bag while I wasn't looking and has helped herself to quite a few! Now she's fallen asleep by the radiator to take the weight off her stomach.

Have to say one very unwelcome result of kids being off school here and out on the street, - one of our friends has been abused by a group of kids on her way home from work each night - racist abuse, - little shits! Can you report that to the police?

KurriKurri · 22/01/2013 14:06

Oh and love to HND - where is she? - surely not still incarcerated? - hope you are recovering well if you are reading this HND if you are still in hospital is it so you don't have to see so much of topsy?

topsyturner · 22/01/2013 14:46

KK racist language and verbal abuse is indeed taken very seriously by the police , and bloody rightly so !
Tell your friend to give her local station a ring or give me directions and let me at them

babababababa baaaaaah

HND is being picked up from the hospital right now !!!!
I have her DC here whilst DH goes and gets her . And her eldest has just said to me that the first thing he wants to do with her when she gets home is have a snowball fight with her !!! GrinGrinGrin

topsyturner · 22/01/2013 14:48

Pig/dogs treats are kept in the same cupboard as the coffee . So the other day I took the coffee out , took it over to the work top , made coffee , turned around to put coffee back .
Found pig/dog shoulder deep in the cupboard , munching !!!
He got sent straight to the naughty step Grin

KurriKurri · 22/01/2013 15:05

Yay for HND getting out at last Smile

I will tell my friend to tell the police, I definitely think she should, - I think she tends towards 'I'll just ignore it. it happens' but obviously it is upsetting and utterly shitty even if they are kids - maybe they should get a fright from the police to stop them doing it again. (It is mindless 'why don't you go back to China/Japan' etc. - wherever they try to guess she is from, - She's tried telling them she's British actually, but they are pig ignorant, and not open to discussion or factual information!

Poor pig-dog - he must have been staaaaaaaaarving like old lady dog

Gigondas · 22/01/2013 15:31

WineThanksFor hnd and for me as all clear so off the hook for 3 months. Specialist nurse was there who said I was tough as old boots.

Have macaroons for trolley as not sure i dare risk them yet.

Thanks tons for handholding and support.

Also saw another nurse who was very positive about mets treatment.

NedSchneebly · 22/01/2013 15:44

WOO HOO and Thanks gig I am LURVING all the good news this week! Sounds like you've had a positive experience today then? Well done love Smile

Also WOO HOO for HND breaking out. Am sure you'll feel good to be in your own bed. Sending you lots of love. Will be great to see you back!

Sort of snow falling here, but not settling. Been raining most of the day so hopefully the blasted white stuff will soon be gone. Fingers crossed!

Sending love to all x x x x x Anyone for a Brew ? Have malt loaf too if anyone wants a quick snack

smee · 22/01/2013 16:15

Wine Wine Smile Smile for Gig!! That must be a mahoosive relief. Does that mean no change then? Am guessing so. Brilliant to go to hospital and have a positive experience for once. I think the scales have tilted your way. Smile

(((((gentle hugs for HND)))))))) Crawl back on the sofa with us and tell us all. Hope the DC aren't too brutal with the snowballs. Grin

Pigdog and Little Old Lady Dog are joined on naughty step by dopey cat here. Came in yesterday to find mushrooms all over the floor. Some half eaten, others used for footballs. Grin

Gigondas · 22/01/2013 16:41

Means mets got smaller (dh told
Me this as i sat with my hands over my ears Grin). And yes it was positive- even got onc to refer me for genetic screen as almost sure it's not genetic but want to make sure for the little gigs. My real father died young of cancer so is a big what if in my mind.

Grin At naughty animal stories. I miss my pets- my cat once ate through my birthday cake then spat it out as didn't like it which made it seem worse.

topsyturner · 22/01/2013 17:14

Aaw Gigs that's fantastic news !

KurriKurri · 22/01/2013 17:28

Brilliant news Gig - Wine for you tonight my lovely.

Grin at cat playing mushroom football - what with miniGig and her baby rugby we've had all the extreme sports on here this week Grin

OL dog always begs for pieces of satsuma, on and on whining until you give in, then she instantly spits it on the floor and you get the 'what the hell have you given me this for?' look !

Are you working tomorrow ned? is your school open?

amberlight · 22/01/2013 17:32

Gig, wheee!!!!!!!!!!!! Grin

smee · 22/01/2013 17:42

Gig, shrunk?! Shock Wow that's even more amazing. Topsy's uniqueness must be rubbing off. You haven't secretly been snorted over by Pigdog have you? We all know about his healing paws. Grin

NedSchneebly · 22/01/2013 17:43

kurri god, I hope my school will be shut but I can't see it happening. I have just texted my head teacher to say the weather is foul and to be prepared for me not coming in tomorrow, but I'll decide in the morning. I am feeling really anxious about having to make a decision in the morning if school is open Sad I just feel that school will not compensate me or pay my increased insurance premiums if I crash my car, but if it's fine round school, people might think I am a fraud. I live about 35 minutes drive from school btw.

Don't know what to do for the best Sad

Gigondas · 22/01/2013 17:47

Don't feel anxious - I wouldn't risk it and don't think it's reasonable to expect it.

Anyone seen this [[

Oh Ned - I hope it's closed, - but don't take any risks - tell them you haven't been though cancer treatment only to have a car accident

Grin at pig-dog's mystical healing paws.
