step this way dear ones...the trolley will be here in a sec...

Oh sledging sounds fun jchoc.

Hopefully we can do a tomorrow. Personally I prefer a nice curry in one of the more flea ridden artisan local places- there is one on Twickenham green that often has rats running round the door.

At daughters excuses- I had a uni mate who once swore it was the opal fruits he had eaten before bed not the 8 pints he had.

Topsy- forgot to ask if hnd has a parole release date?

And for mas for reminding me about gbbo tonight. That should help pre appt nerves.

Oh bake off - well done for reminders, - I had forgotten.

I will partake of a little to toast young topsy.

Sledging sounds fun jchoc, - have you got hills near you? - Norfolk is flat as a pancake and the men all marry their sisters

Kurri's married to her brother?! Will definitely need a drink now.

No on else would marry me Smee

fabbest news topsy - medics will be writing papers on you I'll be bound. Will definitelt be having a small sherry to celebrate and to wish gig well tomorrow
Walked Sophie home with her holding my arm so I didn't slip on the ice..we went to the toy shop and admired the Sylvanians as usual.

WOO HOO! for great news topsy well done, you marvellous woman

I had my first proper haircut of post-chemo fluff today. Very satisfying

Spoke to Dr Lovely on the phone today and she said how proud she was of me getting back to work and coping OK. May possibly have made me a little tearful Have been brave and not made another appointment to see/ speak to her - hopefully now I have counselling in place (seeing him tomorrow) I won't have to rely on her so much. She said I could ring/ email any time though, so I don't feel like I've been abandoned at all.

arf at Kurri married to her brother! Of course being as beautiful as you are is a burden, I can see that. . . what a cross you have to bear. . .

gig loving the image of minigig in an England babygro scrumming down (DS had one when he was a few months old with his name on the back - he looked completely edible in it!) Got everything crossed for tomorrow for you love x x

MAS sorry about lack of cheque - am crap. Have written and will put in post tomorrow, I promise. Am going to see baby F tomorrow, so will let you know (MAS did beautiful baby name card for my friend's new baby)

Waves to everyone - please, all, take care if you are in snowy parts x x x

oh ned don't fret- am so hopeless I'd forgotten about cheque !!

HUGE HOORAY for Topsy! And again for Ned's fluff-styling - that's quite a milestone!

Ooh Ned I need to go for defluffing
My noggin makes me look like a slightly deranged person !

Have we got hills near us? Well, if I say the local canal is famous for the 5 rise and 3 rise locks which are within sight of each other, that gives you an idea. Although we say we are in the valley, actually we are some distance above the river and there are some good slopes down to the river in the park ;)

Yay for de-fluffing Ned and being brave coping without Dr Lovely for the mo.

Has everyone invested in overshoe spikes or yaktrack thingys? If it gets icy I'll be wearing mine all the time... Our road has about an inch of compacted snow so we won't be moving the car for a month for a while...

JChoc - I haven't invested in those ice shoes - but do wonder if I should. Are they good - do they stay on OK?

jchoccchip I think the village I grew up in may be somewhere up in the hills above you, unless there is another 5 rise locks somewhere. No shortage of hills for father to hare up and down in manner of crazed Stirling Moss- to drive over wherever you wanted to go. Excellent sledging I must say A&E always busy when it snowed--

feels the net is closing in and may be outed as not looking a bit like Julie Christie

Agh! the strike through went on the rampage.

Getting lots of facebook pics of everyone cut off up there, looks very pretty.

Ned For my first defluffing I booked into very expensive French hairdresser, since I had saved so much money in the previous months , not counting the ludicrous ly expensive wig, and also I was absolutely livid it had not come back my usual shade of dirty Julie Christie blonde. He could of course done what he wished with me providing it was in a French accent but he sort of shaved it very short up the sides, cut the top so it stood on end and bleached the ends. It was the sort of thing muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Beaker but bleach blonde. I don't think Julie C ever went for that look but I loved it. It was like "When I am old I will wear purple" but more "When I have got rid of Cancer I'll look completely mad" It is satisfying though, a landmark.

Yes - I am beginning to suspect I am the only one who genuinely looks like Julie Christie - here is a recent photo of me - I think I was just off to get my shopping at Lidl when that was taken.

ned - the first defluffing is a cause for celebration - I'm getting my spiky mess chopped tomorrow - my hair is two inches long on top and sticks straight up, -v.attractive.

jchoc - I think those ice shoes look good - I saw a few people wearing them when I was out the other day.

x-posted copt - Beaker from the Muppets - that is my exact hairstyle atm.

Kurri, you look mighty glam when you go shopping.

Yay for hair, Ned. And hooray for Dr Lovely too. He does always sound rather wonderful.

Gig, am still on the box for you. Hope you're okay xx

Pen, are you okay-ish? Feel free to rant all the way to Thursday if it helps.

Wonder if Topsy's drunk yet? Bet she is. Good job HND's still in hospital or it would be riotous.

--though rest of me more muppet.wikia.com/wiki/Miss_Piggy--

Am doing ok smee but have dodgy tummy so trying to work out what I can eat that wont make it worse.

at tummy, Gigs. Do you think it's nerves?

Wow great news topsy ! Really pleased to hear that.

I am just feeling sorry for myself today. Freezing cold . Broke. Have cancer. Great start to the year.

Smee .... Snigger !

Copt - wish I looked half as good as Miss Piggy

You looked lovely in that police hat
