evening all large Grin at your 'fawlty towers' hospital smee - i must say i laughed when the pre op nurse put a big arrow on my mx breast ... but after that conversation i know why.
Am very jealous about JW copt she's a big hit in our house - the blurbs look a bit too right on, but in fact they're really nicely written.
Agree on the advice about your DD trice. I realise my situation is entirely different to yours, but i'm always amazed at children's resilience.

But I also know exactly what you mean about wanting to simply curl up in bed with them - sometimes they're nothing nicer than the smell of a clean child (parents of teenagers will scoff at that comment - I know I teach the sometimes rancid unruly mob)

well back to the lesson planning - my final PGCE observed lesson tomorrow - adaptations - am doing a camel rap song from youtube - I'm too busy worrying about learning objectives and outcomes to think about cancer .... will put left over cherry ripe on the trolley,

trice · 13/05/2013 20:43

Good luck with your camel rap coorong. I did a secondary science pgce 15 years ago and the thought of it still makes me want to lie down in a darkened room.

I went on to teach adults - much easier and less smelly.

malteserzz · 13/05/2013 21:07

I'll look forward to the eurovision cheese fest then !
Coorong good luck with the lesson planning I'm taking my class to the zoo on Friday no camels there though !
Smee thanks for the tips and shocking really about your check up, glad it went ok

Today is the 1st day since dx that I've not cried, still time though !
Am watching greggs more than meats the pies well someone's got to !

malteserzz · 13/05/2013 21:09

Trice the thought of teaching adults scares me ! Give me little ones any day they're easily pleased though they are often smelly

jchocchip · 13/05/2013 22:13

Early night for me! Should sleep well, its been a long day. Course was very good- about revision techniques and learning tricks one was associating two words from a list with a room in your house. I think I'm going to record some of my revision and listen to it when running! Mil has had her offer accepted on house in our road - it will be good to have her nearby. House is empty so may go through quickly - not done till its done though.

AshokanFarewell · 13/05/2013 22:18

Hello all, made it home and my auntie has come to visit :) am exhausted so haven't read all posts and am about to go to sleep. Hope all is well with everyone x

jchocchip · 13/05/2013 22:26

Oh hurray for getting home ash sweet dreams :)

smee · 13/05/2013 22:38

Yay for Ash being home. That must feel nice to be in your own bed. Sweet dreams. Smile

Good luck for Camel Rap, Coorong. Are you actually performing it in front of a class, or teaching a lesson around it. Am so hoping it's the former. Grin

malteserzz · 13/05/2013 23:03

Glad to hear that Ash is home
I'm off to bed night all x

MaryAnnSingleton · 13/05/2013 23:09

Glad you're home ash ! And good luck coorong Smile
Eurovision is always a hoot !
Hands ok-ish, just very prickly and look like dried up horrid things.
Sleep well everyone x

MaryAnnSingleton · 13/05/2013 23:11

Oh and that's good news about MIL's offer on house and glad that course was good jchoc

smee · 13/05/2013 23:18

Missed that, Jane. That's great. Hope it's hassle free. Smile

MAS, prickly must be annoying. Can they give you something to stop that?

Night all. Sleep well. Smile

coorong · 13/05/2013 23:43

Thank you all

I put the 'c' into 'rap'! Grin

Night!

topsyturner · 13/05/2013 23:53

Welcome home Ash
Would you like me to chat to you all night about my gynae problems , just incase you are missing the ward ? Grin

Night All x

jchocchip · 14/05/2013 04:00

Oh bum. What am I doing awake at 4am?

malteserzz · 14/05/2013 06:18

Hope you managed to get back to sleep ?
Wondering whether to post depressing post about the world carrying on and feeling like this wait is too long and crap like that.
But no I'll just say good morning.Another day. Hope it's a good one for everyone

Gigondas · 14/05/2013 06:54

Post away if you feel horrid malt. Best to get it out.

Pleased you are home ash and hope you had a good night.

Jchoc- that's good news about your mum. Wonder if any news on kurris mum house? And also think notjenkins is selling.

Feel lots better after good nights sleep which is good as was long day yesterday.

notJenkins · 14/05/2013 07:09

Good morning from me.

Glad to hear you are out ash and we can over share some problems if you are missing your room mate.

We are indeed selling our house but no viewings for over a week now. I think we will go with a 2nd agent if it does not pick up soon. My grand plan is to move house, reduce my hours at work and turn into a lady that does yoga and swans around with the hounds on my days off.

Throwing toast on the trolley whilst rushing about doing packed lunches etc etc.

malteserzz · 14/05/2013 07:45

Morning again
It's just the waiting that's getting to me and the time to worry how bad it is and if it's spread, usual stuff
And people on Facebook counting down to holidays when we had to cancel ours because we didn't know what would be happening then-least of worries I know but still
Got a friend round for coffee later.

notJenkins · 14/05/2013 07:49

Malt The waiting is hideous.

I developed a serious case of cancer Tourette's and found it really hard not to comment on people's fb status, reply to their moans etc with a less than polite response.

jchocchip · 14/05/2013 07:57

I did go back to sleep. Now have to get a move on or will be late. Mil is trying to sell her mums house and not had many viewings.
Malt the waiting is hard :( You will get through this op and whatever treatments they recommend afterwards. Then you will enjoy a holiday!
Must dash, have a lovely day peeps.

Gigondas · 14/05/2013 07:59

FB Tourette's is a long lasting phenomenon. Think you get a bit of perspective in stuff after dx.

I no longer discuss holidays - gave had to cancel 3 since dx so I am now just going to pretend I go to tesco rather than go on holiday so no disappointment.

I am in spare room bed which is so comfy so no intention of getting up. Our room being painted hence the move.

trice · 14/05/2013 08:12

It is always nice to see friends malt, she will take your mind off things.

The sun is shining and birds are singing. My bed linen is on the line, dd went to school like an angel. It's all good.

trice · 14/05/2013 08:17

I am sending my sister in my place on holiday this year. She can help Dh with the kids, she gets a hol and I am going to stay with my mum and be pampered.

If I can't drink the wine, eat the food, swim in the pool or sit in the sun I'm damned if I am going to put up with uncomfortable beds and bad plumbing!

Gigondas · 14/05/2013 08:24

I did same last year when dh went to France with kids. Was really good ;tho missed them) as I rested and was pampered. Mr gig nearly killed himself running round after 4 kids plus the older ones other halves .
