Morning all, new thread, croissants on trolley, and I'll put a brew on.

oh yes,have taken against army wife though her teeny macaroons were very cute. I like Frances but the designer in her can't resist embellishing- a bit of style over substance.
Am very addicted to M/chef too !

Is it sad that I time it so I have painkillers at right time so can have when watching masterchef?

Thanks for loom tips- I will be doing my x stitch during masterchef tonight (am at pigeons addiction but the website is good...)

Hello....!!! School's back so I can ignore the mound of work waiting be back here. How are you all? .

Yay you are back smee. Good hols?

yay ! smee !!

I too can't decide who I like on GBBO (apart from Sue obv, who I am in love with), I have a soft spot for Howard because he is a bit inept and I also like Kimberly - she is very cool and calm and doesn't flap (so utterly unlike me!)

Love to all with appointments and treatment today or up and coming.

I will miss M/chef tonight as a new yoga class is starting in our village hall, so DD and I thought we would go along and try it out.
I've also had an e-mail this morning from a woman I know asking if I want to join a fund raising choir (to raise money for the chemo unit - not enough chairs so people have to wait for treatment, so we're trying to buy some new ones) apparently they are gong to do carol services etc. So I might join that (provided being able to sing isn't a requirement )

Waving to all.

Yes thanks Gigs. Lots of time in French France and the sun shone. How you? x

MAS, are you swimming every day??

Just read back to the last page. Daughter of Emin, you must feel so wiped out. I'm glad you were able to be with your wonderful mum. Will be thinking of you and the family. Take it one day at a time. x

Reallyworried will keep all things crossed for your op. xx

DaughterofEMIN I'm so sorry for your loss but glad that the end was peaceful and everyone got a chance to say goodbye xxx

Daughter of EMIN: My condolences to you and your family - your much loved Mum will be so missed by you all.

Worried, am sure everything will be ok - I would be bricking it too.

Hi all
How's everyone ? Hope the tax truckers are not too bad
Eco and Kitkat how's your recovery going ?
Gigs are the builders driving you mad ?

Ive had a friend round for coffee this morning and expecting my job share partner soon. Looking forward to catching up on school gossip though depressed that I'm not there
Made the effort and put my make up on this morning again
Not had the chance to watch gbbo yet, will do later
Just seen an ad for the new downton series too must get series 3 watched

Hi Malt - yes I'm good today - was able to shower and have bra on so feel like I look more normal now .
Busy day here as having a new back door fitted, had electrician round to discuss new lights and had picc line clean - am glad though as it is my first day on my own after 8 weeks of school hols.

Is your chemo tomorrow or next week?

I've just had a call from DS - he and DDIL went into work today, and were told they were both being made redundant (them and 300 others) - they work at one of the four prisons the govt. has decided to close
How shit I am gutted for them.

oh no KK - that is a blow when they are both affected. Have they had a decent amount of notice?

oh bollocks kk that is so crappy

Three months Kitkat - so I hope they can get something else in that time. They are both quite well qualified, with good vocational skills, so I'm hoping they can get something else soon. DS loves his job, he'll be gutted.

oh I hope they get something quickly, but poor ds.

smee am not swimming every day, but about twice a week at the mo..

Oh kk that is crap fingers crossed they both find something else quickly

Kitkat glad youre ok, next chemo is tomorrow, last fec and half way through lovely job share partner just been round said how well I looked and liked my wig !

Oh kk so sorry to hear about the job news. I hipe this opens a new and adventurous door for them.

smee nice to see you back

malt hope you had a nice morning

kitkat remind me, did you have reconstruction surgery ?

KK, arrrgh re job situation :-( That is awful for them. And for the rest of the family whilst worrying about it.
Nearly half way, Malt? Time flies, eh.

Oh Kurri that's awful, they must be so upset.

MAS I just read that quickly and thought you said you were swimming twice a day!

Malt and Kitkat, sorry I've missed so much. Hope you're both okay. ((gently hugs)) x

Waving enthusiastically to HND.

Fuck. One of three nodes positive. Full clearance next week, then chemo and radiotherapy.
So scared.

Eco sorry to hear that but if it's any comfort it's the same as me though I'm having chemo 1st, then node clearance and radiotherapy.
All of that together should get rid of everything, that's the way im trying to look at it

EcoRI - sorry I don't think I've spoken properly to you yet - so hello - sorry you have node involvement - that is a pain, but try not to be scared - lots of us have had node clearance on here and hopefully we can support you through each stage of your treatment.
If you have any questions about the node clearance op and after effects - please just ask - happy to answer anything I can

KK: bad news about the jobs - must be awful for them both - double blow.

ECO: sorry you have had such a scare - will let someone more knowledgeable than me comment - hand holding is all I'm good for.

I have just managed to eat an entire a whole tub of lemon sorbet - completely wiped out the benefits of the 4 mile walk this morning.
