    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!!!
    toots xx

    Toots, I don't know what to say. Just started catching up with yesterdays stuff and came across this - I was all ready for you to tell us what a great day you've had out with friends or something. I know you had prepared yourself for it, but even so it must have been a blow and my heart goes out to you... huge, massive hugs sent your way.
    I feel so gutted for you and am in bits myself at the moment as you are like a virtual aunt to me, I feel like I know each of you personally and you are not all just chat room buddies but real friends. Just know that we are all there for you and am sure that you have already had lots of love and support sent your way. Please Please PM me if you want anything at all honey. x :A

    Sorry this is not on topic, I will post my stuff in a minute...

    the ebay stuff sorted I forgot to say yesterday. The man kindly sent the asparagas out and I just had to pay when it arrived which I have done. I just need to move my strawberries into a big tub and then I can get the asparagas in. Waiting for more seeds to arrive so that I can plant up the old car tyres.

    Well, I was in the middle of posting a long reply to everyone when my computer crashed so I will try again and hopefully this will work!

    Julie- positive vibes to your Aunt
    Gusnadbanjos- glad the operation went well- like the others are saying the upset stomach is probably down to stress- make sure you look after yourself too and eat !
    JulieD- hope things are improving
    Hex- hope you are feeling happier today
    Triker- hope OH is feeling a bit better
    Rosepink- hope you are feeling well today
    Freedom2b, Serena, Mumof4, Toochoosey, Toots, Pigpen & all - thank you :) I took my wife into work today after we had dropped off the monsters to breakfast club. She looked a little better but I could tell she was nervous. I think half the problem is that because she is so down everything is magnified. She does a good job but forever lacks self confidence, no matter how I try to build it up. Hopefully the counselling will help and she starts that tomorrow.
    BlackDog- go away !! I think what we all need is some hot sunny days to help lighten the load. I hope we have a proper summer this year.

    Apologies to anyone I have missed and hugs to all that need them.

    On the flying front- I have paid the childcare bills, put the rolls into bake and worked out (I think) how to get the oven door off to clean the inside of the glass- so will be doing that when the rolls are done. Will then be able to wizz around with the hoover and try to catch up. The house is starting to look better and I should be able to acomplish more on Thursday & Friday when wifey is around to help declutter. The lists are really helping even though I haven't got a star yet.... I reckon in a few more weeks I will be there though :D
    Divorce all finished- now to start saving for a better future!

    Good Morning All.

    Well, have to start flying have the dreaded view tomorrow when I am at college so DH will have to show them round! So just a question of, hoovering and hiding things I haven`t got the space to put away, have been know to use the car and laundry basket :eek: Then off to walk dog, then garden, then food shop, then school run. Look after my sisters LO three days a week after school while she works. Then baking as DD has taken it upon herself, (and me) to do a Red Nose cake sale at school.

    Feel defeated already and have a horrible little black Gremlin sitting on my shoulder who goes by the name of PMT, bginning to think the P stands for Permanent and not Pre.

    Oh God What if they want the house.. I don`t want to leave:(
    The Grass may look greener :o but it`s always going to take just as much mowing ;)

    WM on, DD in school, although not too happy, took her bike, got around the corner and she fell off trying to change gears, scraped her face, chin and leg, she thought that might get her out of going - no chance, I am a mean mummy!!!!!
    Still need to find my list, will make a cuppa and hunt for it...............
