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.

Woo hoo zombie!

I've been busy wrapping presents tonight. My kids get way too much crap. I say the same thing every year Hmm

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:15

Haha, bit slow there, I meant my favourite colour is purple.

However, I'm not standing anywhere near you lin if you're wearing that feathery thing.

We should definitely co-ordinate. I suggest fuschia, scarlet, Yves St. Laurent purple and indigo.
With accents of Schiaparelli (sp?) pink.

Oh Em Gee I haven't even started Christmas shopping.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:18

Very best of luck with your referral chewing FlowersSmile

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:19

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:20

Oh sorry, and congratulations on getting your keys, when do you move in?

Mummylin · 29/11/2016 23:21

Well I have chosen my sweet little wedding outfit. I don't want to draw attention to myself so kept it quite plain !

Thanks BBB

Mummylin · 29/11/2016 23:27

I will need lots of room to swish around in my new dress !! I don't need any shoes because the dress is so long !! My slippers will do. My fascinator is lovely BBB. !

Mummylin · 29/11/2016 23:29

This is difficult trying to keep up with so many different conversations ! But it's lovely, especially for Zombie to know she has a lot of support, even if we are a little mad !

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:44

lin ffs, you can't wear that dress and the frondy fascinator, make your mind up lovey.

That dress - nothing on head.

Frondy fascinator - slinky, bandage body con dress.

I'd sleep on it if I were you Grin

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 29/11/2016 23:44

And then there's shoes!!!

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 29/11/2016 23:47

I'm so happy for you Z that you qualify for the trial!

I am two years into a ten year clinical trial for breast cancer, and its bloody hard, but mostly worth it.

I'm not in the same situation as you, but happy to be an ear if you'd like.

Ps. I don't think anyone has mentioned Hendricks gin and cucumber? But that's my altogether absolute fave gin, although at almost $100/bottle here in aus, it's a very occasional treat.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 30/11/2016 00:04

Hope there's a positive outcome for your trial WhereTheFuck, it's a very brave thing to embark on Flowers

In my gin drinking days, I always preferred cucumber, it's a savoury drink.

Yikey yikes at that price, blimey.

Mummylin · 30/11/2016 00:07

BBB , oh yes I can and I think I will look simply stunning Grin I will be the belle of the ball.

Mummylin · 30/11/2016 00:11

I'm not having shoes ! Or a bag. Don't need a bag now I haven't got my cigs to carry around !!! ( On 7th week now ) could really enjoy one right now !
wherethefuck good luck with the trial.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 30/11/2016 00:16

GrinGrinGrin

You absolutely can.

And you absolutely will.

May I please carry a little bit of your train I promise I won't waft nasty smells up it and then run away Halo

WhereTheFuckIsMyFuckingCoat · 30/11/2016 00:17

Thank you both. Yikes about the price, right enough. Grin

Mummylin · 30/11/2016 00:23

Trouble is BBB I still like the smell of the smoke !!! But I must not give in and go back to it.

Mummylin · 30/11/2016 00:31

We have so much drink in this house which will never be drunk, I think you could all come and take a few bottles each. We have a bar and over the years we have brought drink from abroad, others have given it to us for gifts or when we have had a party or something, but Dh rarely drinks at home, I don't hardly drink wether I'm out or at home so it all piles up !

Ooooh Hendricks and cucumber... yum!!!

Midwife and I chatted about my birth plan today... and my hospital bag. She asked if I had everything planned and if I was going to pull my finger out my arse and actually pack it... and we chatted through what was going in. (Probably should mention that my midwife is a personal friend, i live in her area)

So I showed her the list... aaaaand there is a can of G&T listed in my "essentials"

GrinGrinGrinGrin

You are my people. You probably appreciate this!

HeartsTrumpDiamonds · 30/11/2016 01:02

Jaysus you could open a pub with that. Wait, are you sure you don't live in a pub?

GIN on the maternity ward. Excellent stuff. Just the ticket.

Mummylin · 30/11/2016 01:38

It sometimes did feel like a pub when the house was always full of Dh,s friends, but gradually everyone sort of went their own way and we don't have many parties anymore. But it does come in handy when we do have a houseful, especially with the optics, we don't tend to find half full glasses of whiskey or whatever lying around the house !

LineyReborn · 30/11/2016 05:07

Zombie excellent news about the trial.

Bagel, lovely offer. Mummylin, lovely dress, lovely bar.

PigletWasPoohsFriend · 30/11/2016 07:05

Good luck for Friday Zombie

mummylin loving that dress and bar Grin
