    Thanks everybody,

    Went to have a look at DDs new house today and am happy that she's not going to be stuck in that flat any longer.It's only a 5-10 min walk from my house.

    DT lovely to see you about hun xxxx

    People say about me being positive and stuff like that....the way I see it is I have to get on with stuff and no amount of screaming and crying changes anything...and only uses up a vast mount of energy that can be spent on other things.So I just have to get on with it.
    My friends on here have also kept me strong and I thank each and everyone of you for that.

    DD2 gave me her board today which I've put in my envelope as spending money for my weekend away at end of the month.We DD2 and I are going for a weekend away to a fellow MSErs house.This was planned before my diagnosis and is something I'm really looking forward to that.Poor DH is staying here working.

    Morning Taxi,

    First things first - congratulations on being debt free. As many have said, that insurance was there for just this reason. I know you will be spending he money wisely. Congratulations on your keeping up the healthy lifestyle. Bit by bit it will become your way of life and you will not even have tothink about it.

    I am also very impressed with your new bit of kit. I havd afilm SLR and am really keen to upgrade to a digital camera but I will hve to save now and do my research.

    Also nice to havd your daughter move to a nicer place.

    Have a lively day - it's already very hot here!
