    :rotfl: DS1 thinks pigpen's ID is hilarious and is bouncing round shouting piggy piggy piggy

    onlineid unfortunately they have all been stamped, never mind

    shame. oh well, had put a few 2nd class inside the bag in the book as well. just thought at the PO you may be short overall so stuck all my 1st class on the outside (as had rather cleverly sealed the bag by this point). (having a blonde day...)

  • Hello to all of you who have been kind enough to be concerned about me:A I have had lots more investigations at the hospital, they have decided the large 'mass' is attached to the outside of the uterus, but still aren't sure if it is cancerous, so I have to have more scans & a biopsy, anyway either way it can't stay in there so I am booked to have a total hysterectomy on 13 February with the option of it being fastracked if the results come back 'nasty' in the meantime I have to have injections to try & shrink it to make it easier to remove :confused: so Mudbath I will be following your progress avidly :o so I know what is coming.

    Hi ladyL good to hear from you - hope you have a restful day planned for tomorrow - you must be shattered both mentally and physically! it will be good to get the tests and hopefully the biopsy done and dealt with - are the injections going to be a regular thing until the op or a one off dose? your date in Feb will soon come round and as you say you will get all the info from mudbath! Fingers crossed it is totally benign. Well done on what must have been a difficult day.
    toots xx
    Peace will be mine
    could do better - must try harder

    Flower let me know when you're away/back, can get it weighed then post whenever you like, I don't mind.

    Thanks Lil_me - didn't even cross my mind... we're away from Friday until 27th, so anytime after Christmas is fine... or I'll PM you my Mums address, she's in and can take it, that would be better wouldn't it, as it saves you going to the post office too often.... Have I said thank you? it's great what you are doing for us... please thank the boys for me too, and I don't mind being flower power at all...:D :D:D
    the play was great thanks and the children were fab! I am sooooo proud of all 55 of them (and of all my staff team)! The only thing that went wrong was the CD playing deciding not to work for one bit - but luckily our pianist realised and quickly improvised a Chinese tune!

    Thanks for your thoughts Froddy, very kind of you and everyone else...:A

    Glad the play went well for you all, you put in so much work as I am sure that they all did and I bet they were all very happy after too - and well done to the pianist - good catch!

    Take care all xx

    Lots of positive vibes on their way to you too LadyL - here's hoping they can shrink and remove and it's nothing to worry about - I hope you find out soon... x :A x

  • Evening all

    ((((Hugs)))) to Chunky and Lil_me - it's a difficult time for you both.

    SS - :A another guardian angel for your friend's little boy. Prayers for him and his family too.

    LL - glad things progressed today, take it easy tomorrow as I expect you feel drained after all that.

    ZLS - glad you're still taking things easy.

    Not much flying done today. At work from leaving house at 9.00 to Bargoed, left here at 1.30 to Cardiff, left there at 4.45, drove home. DS has started dinner, so I made a sauce for the chicken, he made me coffee. We ate and I sorted college bag. Picked DD up from Newport at 7.00, dropped her home, and DH had just got up to have a bath, (he's still far from well and not going to work tomorrow again) drove to Pontypool and missed first half hour of college (whilst collecting DD) but caught up OK. Finished at 9, called ahead and asked DS to set the ironing board up for me, got in and did all the ironing in an hour. DS made me a hot chocolate so we sat and watched Diagnosis Murder, whilst drinking, caught up with the thread and now I'm off to bed!

    Night all and God Bless. x

    Flower Power whichevers easiest for you, I pop to the post office quite often anyway, especially over that time of year as our farm shops closed for the bit in between xmas/new year that I get the eggs from and they get FR eggs in there and the coop/other shops are next to it, it's a few minute walk from my house. Decide what you want me to do and drop me a PM :)

    Mrs Pink Fairy - DS2s been putting all your cards in personally as you're the wolf lady which makes you special (Sorry everyone else but wolves/dogs is his favourite thing!) DS1s not allowed to even touch your cards lol. He can't pronounce your name and I can understand why people shorten it now as that's what he calls you because he can't say it.

    Dinner eaten, was lovely, think I am going to get off to bed. Ds2s starting with a cold, DP too, so can see this week being wonderful with them moaning. At least I'm out all morning tomorrow and most of Friday :D

    Goodnight everyone xxxx see you some time tomorrow afternoon/evening
    One day I might be more organised...........:confused:

    Toots - my card from Natty arrived sliced open on 3 sides and in a plastic bag, what wierd activities are the post office up to we ask.
    it must be the office thats sorts Natty's mail as there are a few of us who have had her cards like that! just as well she wasnt sending us all a christmas bonus inside!!!!
    toots xx

    Mine came open on one side and partly open on 2 others :confused: I thought maybe a neighbour had opened it in error and posted it through my door afterwards.

    My cards will be written this weekend and posted hopefully (don't worry Lil-me, I'll post mine out individually;)) - Got a tutorial tomorrow at 8pm online, a CMA due the 18th, and I'm still about a month behind :o Going to be doing overtime this week as well at school, well if you can call going to see Cinderella with the whole of year 6 as doing overtime ;):rotfl:Problem is I don't get back until 5.30-6pm and DD is supposed to be going away with ex that night :o Oh well, that's life, but it leaves me free this weekend to finish my OU work, (I have a TMA due the 8th Jan - horrid person who decided to schedule that one!:p) and do my Xmas cards. Suppose I should really sort out the rest of my Xmas shopping as well. :o:o

    I should really shift myself. I'll try to keep up but I'm doubting I'll manage :o :wave:
