Pen, I seem to remember lying awake one night with a sore foot and deciding it was cancer, then rationalising it by thinking well at least they could cut it off. Topsy's right, cancerititis. Well done on taking hooligan pup out.
Ned, iPad mini?! How v.exciting. Still 'no response' though on e-mail?! 
Bloody hell. It's all her, not you. I have a v.close thing same happened. Bumped into her at a party about a year ago, was so lovely to see her and she apologised for being useless, though we didn't get a chance to talk about why. I was so relieved, sent her an e-mail saying let's meet up. No reply. Hope your DS isn't wiping you out.
User, yep put pills somewhere you have to go to. Also get yourself a funky pill box. Hard to find - in fact I reckon we'd make a mint if we designed one - I got a lovely red one, which doesn't scream old lady at all and somehow (shallow, moi?!), I don't mind so much now.
Topsy, cleaning. Noooo....! House has dust-balls here. DS reckons they're fun as the cat chases them. 
Panda was up a tree at a nature centre. I was staring at his enclosure, trying to see him when I felt a plop on my leg. 
Amber, did you get your blood results? Hope okay. I need to thank you, as I've been taking a huge dose of VitD on your recommendation and have to report I feel so much better. Lot less aches and my skin's positively glowing. 
Lone, hope you're okay. I know it's tough waiting.
Have we heard from AtoZ? I hope she's okay. come and say hi if you're out there. x
MAS are your hands/ feet okay today?
Waving to Snails, Kurri, HND, Gracie and anyone else who I've missed. Better get on. Masses of work to get through. DH on half term duty today.

Afternoon all from freezing East Anglia - its snowing again brrrr - I have been cuddling the dog for warmth
Ned - ooh mini ipad - how exciting - sorry about your friend, but there is still time for her to reply, maybe she is mulling over what to say and doing a bit of soul searching - I wouldn't give up yet if she was otherwise a good friend.
snails - am 
of your nips, I am getting excited about my recon. (even though it will be quite a long time before I have it) - I have been taking sneaky looks at non-mastectomy bras.
Hope MAS is enjoying herself in London.
Smee- have you managed to wash the panda poo out of your hair? Can you find a link to your funky pill box? - that sounds like something I need, mine is pure old lady all I need is some moth balls in my handbag to complete the look.
Copt. - Some cats do smell, - my friend has 3 cats and one of them just smells (needless to say it is the most affectionate one ) When I go round her house she always shouts 'don't sit there, Whitney (smelly cat) has just been sitting in that chair', but wherever I sit, the little stinker climbs onto my lap anyway
DD and I braved the snow this morning, and went shopping, - well I stood around while DD tried on 700 pairs of virtually identical skinny jeans in every possible shop, and eventually bought the first pair she had tried 
. She also bought some sheet music in a rather strange little shop, where a little man followed us around saying 'can I help yew at all?' - he was hard to throw off
And we had scones and lattes for a treat.
I am planning to spend the evening huddled over the radiator, knitting the back of my jumper - I've finished the front at last.
Love to all x

Kurri, that tunic looks funky. Are you going to strut your stuff when wearing it? I do hope so.
Snails, nipples sound fab. Did you have them tattooed? I have to wait a bit for mine as am still trying to get wonky implants right. Oh the comedy..
Non-old-lady pill box, can't find on-line. It's psychedelic colours though, like highlighter pens. A different colour for each day of the week. Here's a link to another one I have it in my wash-bag, so take it if I'm away for work overnight.
bright red and defiant!
I want cheese and pineapple now. Though HND, you gave Topsy, pickled onions?! clearly insane
Half nine and I have no glass of wine. Am off to sort that right now. Night all. Keep toasty.

Ah, snails I get it now. I haven't really got my head round the idea yet. Have to have another op to take one implant out, revise scar and put a smaller one in, so it has a chance of matching other side. That's sometime soon, then nipples down the line if I choose to go that way. Did you have GA for it? Sounds like you have to. Where did they take the flesh from? My Surgeon calls it the 'fat machine'.
MAS, your day sounds lovely. I think I've seen those bears in the RFH shop. We're that way tomorrow to see the Hayward Light show. Light headed might well be due to coffee. Has it come back today? Hope not. x
Jane yes mention feet. Mine are strangely starting to feel a bit better. Not at all sure why, but I think it might be linked with me taking glucosamine, plus a high dose of VitD3. Still ache, but nowhere near as much.
So cold here. brrr..

KK Tunic looks lovely and I really like the wool, I love wool that changes colour or texture whilst you knit. I've got two on the go at the moment, think I may focus back on the one I started last winter for last summer, might actually finish it in time for next summer, and then I can finish last summer's project for this winter for next winter That one's here www.knitrowan.com/designs-and-patterns/patterns/bute-womens but going off piste in jewel colours with leftover wool. The one for this summer is no longer on the website and I can't find the pattern book but a chanel jacket shaped thing with a sort of check effect in this discontinued cotton www.knitrowan.com/yarns/organic-cotton-naturally-dyed-dk in indigo with this http://www.knitrowan.com/yarns/revive in flint . Hey ho! May have to have a plan b...........
Poor psychocat doesn't have much going for her, smells, is rather ugly, a lapcat in a street cats body, gets so worked up when someone gives her the stroking she craves that she bites them, and gets bullied by every cat in the neighbourhood including gentle sweetiepie cat, who after the killing the neighbour's rabbit incident we must assume is actually a street cat in a lapcats body!
at Topsys retro snacks, should have had babycham or blue nun with it! just to make sure you vomited
snails my BC buddies and I have excellent piss ups get togethers but heads are always bad in the morning... There's no bonding like being poisoned, mutilated and burned together.
Alone tonight, DDs out partying, DH rugbying so just me and maybe some pickled onions.....
Poor goon dog, we were just discussing something and he suddenly got very excited when we used the word "hope" which was strange, was he suddenly pondering the future? then we decided it must be something that sounded like, was he secret Catholic? (pope) but then we realised it was "dope" exciting things follow when the word dope is addressed to him

DH just tried to go off to Rugby in my big furry dog walking hat, with bright yellow silk lining and big turquoise "Joules" label sticking out of it, when I suggested he might get teased he went off and pulled my fleecy chemo beanie out of the back of the hat drawer which felt a bit strange 
I suppose it is good it gets to ride again, he should have put the wig on to and gone the whole hog

a hug for gracie
Dh and T off to watch rugby at parents.. am wrapping dh's birthday presents.
Am thinking I may need to buy cheese and pineapple as I have such a craving.
smee no light headedness today- it was prob. a combination of coffee/the cold air and walking miles
Was toying with going to the Light exhibition at the Hayward but dh not bothered, same with Lichtenstein at the Tate Modern - would be unfair of me to go on my own and leave them yesterday- will plan to go again another time,plus would love to see the Manet at the RA.

Gracie, go see the surgeon . It will turn out to be something irrelevant, but you won't rest properly until you've heard that from an expert. I am, by the way, really bad at taking my own advice.
Blood test? Results? No, can't say I remember to ring....
Manet at the RA is a must.
MAS, get thee to That Shop and get thy cheese and pineapple.
