Jan '07 part 23: Is it a bird? Is it a plane? No! It's 2happy's flying shed!

[2happy]

Watch out cows, here it comes!

Thanks, LTH, I have only told my friends on mnet today, didn't feel up to posting at all before but I will probably ask the wider crowd for advice and stuff soon, or if anyone else has had the same etc, don't really feel up to it yet.

Oh God MrsC. I am so sorry You poor thing. I am so pleased they have caught it early though, I know it may seem bittersweet to you at the moment but thank goodness.

Does it run in the family or have you just been exceptionally unlucky

Big hugs and thoughts sent your way xxxx

Oh, and if there is anything you want or need then just shout

yes, must be pleased about that but you are not supposed to get it if you have smears, only had a borderline one six months ago. Either that was wrong or it's very fast growing.

It's not supposed to be hereditary but my mum and sister have had lots of abnormality, though not cancer.

Thanks

Mrs C - What a shock for you. Huge big hugs, and lots of positive vibes being sent your way. xxx

Could the borderline one have been right but they didn't remove all the abnormality?
so its that that they've found now.

God I'm so sorry Mrs C.

meaning that its not been quite a s agressivley growing as they think.....

Sorry, this seems all so personal.

Oh MrsC that's terrible. I'm so sorry that you have to go through this. We're all here for you.
Big ((hugs))

((((hugs)))))) MrsC please let us know if there is anything we can do to help. My Mum and aunties all had hystericties (sp) by the age of 31 due to abnormal smears/early cervical cancer etc (in fact my Mums youngest sister was 28 and had cervical cancer and hadnt had children hence she is Ellies godmother) my mum had her operation in 1987 and thankfully removed all abnormal results (same for both my aunties they have been clear since)

Reminds me that I have been due a smear since ealy 2006 then I fell pg and had forgotton so will phone Drs to make an appt

Been lurking about a bit but not been posting, just thought i'd pop on. MrsC - just want to echo what everyone else has said, I hope you're as ok as you can be, I can't offer any practical advice as I've no experience but if you ever need to just chatter inanely (something i'm good at!) then i'm on msn most evenings!

things are ok for us at the mo - very difficult with dh but maybe it will look up soon.

Loosh, your baby boy is divine - did you knit that jumper?!

Mrs C - thinking of you . Can only second what everyone else has said about us being here if you need us.

Oh mrs c I am so sorry to hear that if you need anything please let us know. I hope you are getting some good support and love from your family. Big hugs and kisses xxx

hello all

Just popping in really as have not had internet for what seems like weeks, but was infact only days.

Things a bit better here with DH. He is finally listening to me, and actually taking notice if what i've been trying to tell him for a long time. NOt sure if things will improve or not really. our weeke together was very much up and down. Although, I did feel very upset that he was going back to work on saturday, and he was incredibly sad too, so I guess that must mean we do both care. He claims he has never stopped caring, but well.. I have no idea of this as he never shows nor tells me how he's feeling anymore. anyway , i guess time will tell on the whole thing really. Things are good today, just had really lovely chat on phone. He's back fro easter too. ( believe it when I see it )

HOpe you are all ok?
MrsC God, I'm so sorry love. What a really shitty, scary time for you. Like others have said, they've caught it early, and it sounds very early being 1A1 ( 1 is the 'lightest' grading they can give ) So treatment now, has every chance of being highly successful. please just holler, if you want or need anything at all.

wilkie any news on your house? sorry, not looked far back on thread, just wanted to post before my internet went down again!

For same reasons, not posting personals, just want to say hi before I can't!!!

Needless to say, i really hope life is ok for you all. DH's being better than they were a week or so again, and to those that aren't give them a mighty kick up the arse from me!

And dont under any circumstances let them make you believe you are not a beautiful, wonderful woman, who deserves to be loved and cherished. Because, you do... all of you, ok?

Hello all

Mrs C - what a shock for you . it does sound like they have caught it at its very earliest stage possible which is very good news, as soon as the word cancer is mentioned your world is turned upside down it is such a big and frightening word. I hope that your family is able to help you through this and support you in whatever you need. The physical treatment is only one part of this and it is very improtant to not to forget the psychological impact cancer has on you and your family and there are loads of support groups and people who have been through a similar situation whether that is from MN or elsewhere. If there is anything I can do at all please let me know - where abouts are you?

Loosh

Mrs C: if you woud like I can link some information leaflets and also there is a charity specifically for cervical cancer -"Jo's Trust - fighting cervical cancer"
www.jotrust.co.uk which may be a source of support/info.

UD glad to hear from you we have missed you .

Unfortunatley I did not knit the jumper I need to get cracking with knitting the nativity scene first, dh bet me I would not be able to do it so naturally I am now determine even if I end up going potty trying to knit a stable.

Wow seriously I'm pressed with knitting a nativity scene!

Only quick post as Ellies first Easter Fayre at preschool, the bonnet is made and in the car and we need to go via Mums as she has made 100 fairy cakes (and boxed them) to sell plus Easter sponges! (my contibution was 40 sausage rolls I cooked yesterday afternoon)

It will be a 'fun' morning as both Mum/MIL working so I have to take Hattie, run a stall (she will not sit in her nuggy so will be running off) and help Ellie a biot as she'll want to have a go on the different stalls

We raised over £700 at Christmas (included £250 my work donated) but apparently they dont make as much at Easter as at Christmas lots of granparents etc come to see nativity and then spend some money at bazaar, we're hoping for £200 to buy some new garden toys for the children.

Wish me luck!

Good luck xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Knitting a navity scene....actually Knitting one??

like with needles and wool??

(that was me fainting)

EandH, have you made the doc's appt??
I'll be very cross with you if you haven't...the easter fayre can wait, ring then NOW!!!

LTH - I know I am not sure how I managed to bet dh that I could do it. I could not find a nativity scene that I liked this year - I wanted a really naff one that would become the stuff of family legend - so naturally a knitted one springs to mind . The three kings look a little tricky so it may just be Jesus and a couple of sheep.

Good luck eandh it sounds like you are going to have a busy day and if LTH says get to the docs then GET TO THE DRS.

Just had word from dh he needs to start these antiviral drugs which are pretty strong (and cost £1200) so had better work for that price. He sounds just knackered so have sent him to bed.

Right must get back to actual work

I feel like I shouldn't be posting trivial moans on here with MrsC's news but I am guessing that she doesn't want us going on about it constantly...?? So I hope you don't mind me posting my rant:

Dos everyone else get on with their PILs?? My MIL is lovely, find FIL difficult as he is very pedantic, opinionated and talks over you CONSTANTLY.

They are SO helpful with J and will come across to look after him at the drop of a hat and will do ANYTHING to help us.

But....I just find it SO wearing having them in our house constantly. FIL works so he drops MIL off at our house the night before and then picks her up the following evening so it is a full 24 hours. Then inevitably HE stays for a few hours either end to, talking over me, telling me that J's hoover is 'gay' and he shoudln't be playing with it etc.

I can feel my hackles rise the second he walks in the door.

MIL is lovely and I do get on really well with her but I feel suffocated by her too as she is here such a lot. I wish we didn't have to rely on them so much and am desperately hoping when we move it will put some much needed distance between them and us. If it was MY mum I know I would feel differently which is mean.

Also, they won't tell J 'NO'. They say 'Mummy would say No' - which really really irritates me.

I don't expect answers from anyone but it helps to write it down.

Does anyone else feel this way or am I just being a miserable selfish ungrateful cow?????

I used to feel like that.

She's dead now though but I still get tetchy at the mention of her name.
Ds1 who knows how she treated me(he was there when she ignore us all inteh street...that was teh last time we saw her) has put her on this bloody pedestal of prefect grandmother which really pisses me off.

But I feel like it a achievemnet of being a good mother (sometimes) that I haven't ruined his preception of her whan actually she was a spitful, poisonous, evil witch who made my life a f*cking misery for near on 10 years.

Sorry...a little rant exploded out of me then.

I think its natural to feel like you want to kill them at times. 24 hrs is a long time to have someone invading your space and you have a right to feel the way you do. I know its hard but think if they dident care about j and never visited , spoke ect. I get annoyed sometimes at my parents when I say no to the kids and my mum and dad override my decision. Im sure it will get a bit easier once you move . The hoover thing is a bit mean though, tell him he looks gay.

New pic on profile if you want to have a peek

Mrs C ......... funny enough I was just thinking about you the other day in that I hadn't remembered you posting for a while.... and then this bombshell.

Hope you are managing to come to terms with it and coping as best you can. You know, you've got three fabulous kiddies....a hysterectomy sounds like the best way forward. Not that I've got any expereience myself, only that I used to work with a woman who when she turned 30 ended up having to have one due to medical reasons. She was married but childless IIRC it was similar in her description to having a caesarian.

Knitting I'd love to be able to make more than a scarf. MIL ( and yes Wilkie she does get on my nerves) makes dsome fab jumpers, but only in really odd colours. When asked about this its because she only likes knitting in 100% wool, and as its expensive will only buy it in the sale so hence the strange colours. I shrunk the last one as too lazy to hand wash.

Finally chosen the bathroom, after plodding riound what felt like a 100 showrooms (including Bath Store.... I remember THAT one because the assistant asked DH to remove his shoes before standing in the shower. NB. DH does will not do things like that. He is a man who likes to live dangerously and defy ) we have gone for exactly the same one we have

Need to look for taps now !
