PS settling down now, night night all, hope everyone sleeps well

smee · 04/07/2013 21:32

Hope you are, Ruby. Being sick's so grim. Tick off the days.. sleep through it as much as you can. xx Smile

NedSchneebly · 04/07/2013 21:51

Blimey, who said it was work that gets in the way of MN? It most certainly does!

Met my new class yesterday - they are lovely! One or two pickles, but I do have a bit of a soft spot for naughty boys, so I think I will have fun with them! My nightmare jobshare was meant to be leaving at Christmas to go on maternity leave and I was going to take over ful time, but had a miscarriage on Monday Sad for her, but it might mean that I end up being stuck with her and part time hours all year. Everything'ls a bit up in the air. Will have to wait and see what happens.

very sunny here - made the mistake of wearing black trousers to work as it was grey and foggy first thing this morning, so I sweltered most of the day.

kitkat my tumour was E+ but my oncy said to have my mirena out anyway, just to remove it as a hormonal factor. I have only had 3 periods since chemo finished.

Grin at pain in the arse ruby Hope you are feeling a bit better for a bit of chillout time.

smee insensitive friend. I think my cancer tourettes would have kicked in and I would have stabbed her with a fork said something.

gig well done on finishing rads. Just be gentle to yourself and take it easy. Sending you lots of love x x x x

Knackered - been madly planning repeat lesson observation for next week, so heading for bed.

Lots of love to you all x x x

malteserzz · 04/07/2013 22:32

Lots of posts today I like it !
Hope ruby is fast asleep
Ned I'm jealous hearing about your new class, but your poor job share partner Hmm
I've very much left my job share in the lurch feel really bad about it
One more week till the summer holidays here, I'd love to get away on holiday even just a long weekend somewhere, we love our holidays.
Will ring again in the morning to see if I can get an onc appointment, when people say ring your bcn do you have an actual named one ? Here theyre all nice but I've seen a few

notJenkins · 04/07/2013 22:36

New thread ! Don't leave me behind ! My job is defiantly coming between me and mn.

New iPhone 5 today so happy me.

I have some leave coming up soon and I bloody need it.

Waving to all and throwing rocky road on the trolley.

topsyturner · 04/07/2013 23:06

Evening All

I had/have a named bc nurse Malt , but I've only ever met her once !
Not her fault , just not really needed her .
They do tend to take 24 hours to return a phone call though .

If you haven't heard by lunch time tomorrow , I would phone again .
It has been quite a while you've been waiting now .

Hope everyone has a good nights sleep . Some arse person has just let off a volley of fireworks here !
(I'm hoping they are fireworks , we do live in Belfast ..... Grin )

See you in the not too early morning x

malteserzz · 04/07/2013 23:20

NotJ get you with your i phone 5 very nice !
Topsy I had the same one for first 2 appointments but different ones since and if I ring I'll get whoever answers the phone ! Will ring in the morning
Night all sleep tight x

PictureThis · 04/07/2013 23:49

Sleep where are you? I haven't even started the steriods yet FFS!

malteserzz · 05/07/2013 03:57

Sleep not here either !
Trying to wean myself off the pills so got some herbal nytol they are rubbish !
Bloody birds are singing

malteserzz · 05/07/2013 06:58

Morning all again !
What's everyone up to today ?
I think I'll go to the gp for more sleeping pills and of course need to chase up my chemo appointment Hmm
Do I really need to go to the dentist or as I've had no problems since I last went over 10 years ago dont you think I'd be unlucky to get any now ?
Not particularly worried about the dentist I've just not bothered or found the time to go
That's about all my plans for today but dh is working from home so at least I'll have some company

NedSchneebly · 05/07/2013 07:04

Leave NJ? Does that mean lunch is on the cards?! Smile

Sorry if anyone thought my post about my job share partner was insensitive. I've been fretting so thought I would post about it. I am so desperately sorry for her, and I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy. I didn't want people to think I was being unsympathetic because it changes the plans.

As you were Blush

malteserzz · 05/07/2013 07:10

I'm sure nobody thinks you're unsympathetic I know I didn't Smile

kitkat1967 · 05/07/2013 07:12

morning all. Nice day planned here as it is the last day of term so I'm working for a few hours then of to DS Speech Day and then picinic lunch with the rest of his class.

Ned - you post was fine, I'm sure none of us thought you were insensitive.

Malt - looks like a terrible night for you - hopefully you did manage a few hours sleep in the early hours.

topsyturner · 05/07/2013 07:52

Morning All

Your post was fine nj , I didn't think you were being insensitive at all .

Malt good luck with the phone call today . Hope you get through and get the answers you need .

I'm just having a coffee . Then jumping in the shower . Got to poke the dc awake too . They have decided to come to the funeral today too .
That's quite normal over here . (Children at funerals)

Anyhow , hope everyone has a good day .
Weather man says its going to be a lovely day , even though it looks a bit grey here ...

topsyturner · 05/07/2013 07:54

I've done it again !
I meant Ned not nj !!!

Happy Last Day of term kitkat !

jchocchip · 05/07/2013 07:55

Ned your post was fine. :( for your job share but your plans are independent. If you have negotiated a return to full time from Christmas, surely that is what you will do?

Mning on bus on way to work again. Have to duck out later for a foot xray to exclude neuroma - think that is just a nerve swelling so nothing sinister, just a running issue.
Sun shining here looking forward to a sunny weekend already!

jchocchip · 05/07/2013 08:00

Morning topsy hope it goes as well as these things can :( I always thought it strange that dcs don't usually go to funerals these days.

smee · 05/07/2013 08:12

Nobody would ever think you insensitive, Ned. Smile

Definitively call Malt, it's ridiculous that they haven't given you a date. I think BCN are a bit of a lottery. I've been v lucky. First one retired, but she was fierce some and shouted at consultants.will never forget her standing over one, making him do a bone scan referral for me. My new one's lovely too. If I e-mail or call she always gets back same day. Push to see one of them. You can ask for an appt. get to know them and build from there. Am sure they're just busy, but it will help you a lot x

Oh and yes sorry, but I vote for going to the dentist before you start.

NJ, new iPhone's an excellent distraction. Tell me which apps you get. I'm in need of new ideas.Smile

Kitkat enjoy speech day. Lovely sunny day, so hope there aren't too many speeches.Grin

Hope funeral's as good as it can be. Take care, Topsy. Thinking of you x

Did you have a good night, Ruby? Hope you slept and are feeling less sick.

Been up for hours. Really annoying weird side effect of taking antibiotics is sleeplessness. Quite nice mooching round drinking tea. DS has an I set day today so we'll have to hatch a plan for what to do. Smile

smee · 05/07/2013 08:14

Should be 'Inset' day. 'I set' sounds like an app or an attempt to make jelly. Grin

MaryAnnSingleton · 05/07/2013 08:15

good luck with foot xray jchoc and hope funeral is ok topsy.
ned you'd never be insensitive my love
malt it is wise to go to dentist and to go during your chemo (not for anything invasive just to have an eye kept on the state of your mouth/gums/teeth) that's what my dentist advised. Teeth are important !

MaryAnnSingleton · 05/07/2013 08:18

I like the idea of jelly smee !
T is off to new college today for a welcome event,though he'll be grumpy as he has a bad cold
Hope you feel less sick v soon ruby
I love my bcn (all the bcns are fab at our hosp.) - she has been a complete star.

OP posts:
Gigondas · 05/07/2013 08:55

Another tired person here .

Good luck with x ray jchoc.

Malt I would go to dentist to be sure as you don't want any more issues than can help . And it is beyond daft you are still waiting on appointment.

Ned- not insensitive , realistic about what teacher is like.

Hope today goes as well as it can topsy.

Hope everyone enjoys sunshine today.

topsyturner · 05/07/2013 09:02

Oh crap !
Need quick opinions .
Mil just phoned me to say everyone will understand if I don't go to the funeral .
Is she being kind to me ?
Or is it because they know its going to upset aunt ???

Oh crap , oh crap !!!
Do I go or not ?

malteserzz · 05/07/2013 09:11

Topsy you know your family but that does sound like she's being kind, giving you a get out clause if it will upset you
I'd still go as you'd planned Smile
