Zombie's Cancer Journey: The Beginning of the End

[IamtheZombie]

Previous thread is HERE

Five years on from my first treatment, the options have pretty much run out.

Please join us for the rest of the journey. Doom and gloom is absolutely banned. There are still laughs and love to share and celebrate.

I've tried to tempt some of them to meet ups Roses but they say it's too far.

Some of the ones we've been to had incomers from Brussels and Scotland!

We need to issue bigger spears, or brighter flags?

Or more gin more likely

Gin

Gin yourself

GIN

GIN PLEASE!

GIN!

Gin

And what's the magic word?

NOW

Good call zombie xx

@ 'magic word'

You'll have to ask magi, the Phalanx Keeper of the Gin, I'm only good for pink wine

I think she was dishing it out up there ^

(you alright Liney?)

You can have my gin ration too........bloody morphine

Royal - I'm glad people did that for you, I would have too if I had known. You always seem such a lovely person so you deserve it

Pleased that people were kind to you Royal, hope you're sorted now.

Another one delurking to say how brave I feel you are being Zombie. I'm upset that you're at this stage but hope your time now is as painless as possible and you get to spend time enjoying yourself with your loved ones as you intend. xx

Badders at "My dad's called Brian!"

Freezing fog here today, can't see the castle on the hill It is nasty though, bone chilling. Hope Z that it's better in deepest darkest Shropshire and your Aga is keeping you warm again.

FidBoy2 called me shortly after he left this morning to warn his sister, who takes a later train, that the pavements were so icy and slippy, she should be careful. Kind-hearted lad that he is.

Don't know why schools start at 8 here, it's still dark by the time the children get to school. Upside is no school run, thankfully.

I was avoiding paperwork yesterday and made loads of jelly to take to work. Love jelly, might have some for breakfast too. Someone posted once about gin in jelly - can't remember where now. Might do an Advanced Search and avoid the paperwork again

It is +14 degrees here today - after it having been -3 yesterday
I envy you proper seasons, Fiderer.

Bit early for me for gin, with or without jelly.

Yes, 8am school start, but home after 1 - I remember that.
I used to get up at half 6, leave the house at 7.10am, tram at 7.29, at school for 7.44. I don't know how I did that, had a shower and breakfast too

Wow! School at 8. We would be fucked. We're only just up. A whole hour late. So now it's time to rush round, get the toddlers dressed (DS1 is sorted already) get DS1 to finish his homework, get myself dressed, breakfast will have to be a piece of fruit on the way down the street.

I must buy some actual gin today.

Pacific I look back at certain times in my life and wonder how the hell I did it. At one point, my routine was: Leave the house at 7.45am with 3 DCs including baby in buggy, 20 minute walk to school, drop older 2 DCs at breakfast club, 15 minute walk to station, get buggy up 32 steps, 10 minute train journey, get buggy up 36 steps, 10 minute walk to nursery, drop off DS2 and then 10 minute walk to work. And then do it all in reverse at the end of the day. At the time, I just got on with it. I couldn't contemplate doing it now.
I am planning on becoming a gin connoisseur when I retire.

I need an everyday bottle of gin too liney. Somehow I managed to forget it in Sainsbury's yesterday.

I've got a bottle of Garden Tiger in the cupboard at the moment which is really delicious but a bit pricey for regular consumption.

I plan to have a gin advent calendar next year.

Or a whisky one.

Too many expenses this year. Ah well...

And I'm sure my grandparents used to say 'There's nowt so queer as folk.' They were right.

Ooh, and for the gin connoisseurs, I recommend Salcombe Gin!

I like Tanqueray Rangpur as an every day gin.

Sending you some good vibes Zombie ~~~~~~~~~~~

The posh Lidl gin - Hortus - is delicious, 40% & only £15.99.
