I've finally worked out how to type in colour :j I'm proud of myself today as I've done some general de-cluttering in the bungalow. By the way, I don't know if anyone saw my thread earlier about my oven but only one person replied so I'll ask again. I've got an 18 month old oven which, despite being cleaned 3 times with Mr Muscle, is smoking.

Goodnight!

Evening all...

Thank you all so much for my lovely wishes, it was really nice to know that someone was thinking about me, sounds soft, but as I was working from home alone, it was nice to pop on and see little cakes and smilies just for me... You are all wonderful people... (I was even chuffed to get the automated email from MSE this morning... :rotfl: )

Anyway, thanks x x x

On the cleaning front, didn't get much chance to do any more after my little burst this morning - DS has unloaded and loaded the DW for me and wiped all the worktops down - he's also kept me in coffee so that I can keep working... am flagging badly now

I'm working away tomorrow, but really need to get some washing done so I am going to concentrat on that - I might put a wash on tonight and then I can hang it up in the morning before I go and put another one on then - that's if I can get out of bed...

I want to watch Heroes on Three, but can't keep my eyes open. I might just tape it and watch it tomorrow...

OK, off to bed. Will attempt to do some of bathroom in the morning before I go... See you then...

Hi Emily, how you settling into the bungalow now, sounding cosy...
With the cooker, can you see where the smoke is coming from? I had a simillar tthing once when somehting had spilled down the bit where the gas came up - took me ages to find it. Hope that helps.

ETA: Wow, just re-read this, I must be tired - look at those spelling mistakes (sorry Greenbee and SS - you wouldn't emply me would you... :rotfl: )

I have been away since first thing this morning watching my nephew in a speech and drama competition - he was in 6 classes and got 6 1st class distinctions so we were well pleased - but the classes were spaced out and I didnt get home until 8.30!!! Its his sister's turn on wednesday but her classes are all in the morning.

In the afternoon I had to go to my cancer clinic.
I have known for a while that my tumour had grown again but was waiting for some definite news before I told you all. It has more than doubled in the last 3 months so it needs to be dealt with again.
I had a CT scan last week and went to get the results today. I wont bore you with all the details but as suspected I need more chemotherapy. First of all I have to have a colonoscopy and a bone scan to check if it's anywhere else that hasnt been spotted. I also have to fit in a weeks muscle treatment before I start the chemo as my chemo will last 18 weeks (6 x 3 weeks cycles) and I cant get my muscle treatment while on it and couldnt wait another 18 weeks!
I will be back at the clinic in 2 weeks to finalise my treatment start date and will have had my other investigations by then so lots going on.
It is hoped to start my chemo in 4 weeks time.

So now you know why I have been pushing myself to get things sorted in the house - I knew what was coming and how I will feel so need to get as much done as possible as 1 week in 3 I will not be feeling like doing much - except awarding stars!!!

sorry for being OT but I hope you will understand.

I am ok with it as I knew this was highly probable - I have had over a year without treatment and that was a huge bonus. I need you all to help keep me going over the next 4 weeks to get the place as tidy and clean as possible and get as many of my jobs from the list (thats why I started it!!) done before I start the chemo. lots of kicks up my bum needed!!!
