    Am feeling a little sorry for myself as my hair has started to come out now....thought it was going to as my head is sore....so will need to shave it in the next few days I giuess.

    Went to shop to get the rolls for cc machine but they had to order them...so will be in next week some time.
    didn't go to the bank but nipped to DD1s house and bought her some shopping as she hadn't renewed her tax credits so hadn't been paid...spent an hour with my favourite little man JJ ...always lovely seeing him as he always brings a smile to my face...he's so funny.

    i asked him the other day why he is a good boy at my house but naughty at mummys...he said because "my brain works different at mummys"...what do you say to that...lol

    hes so crafty that a hen party were where his mum works and he was doing his version of street dancing and they all gave him a pound..lol..then because they were dressed as builders they gave him a hammer for nothing....one of the other hens asked for it and he said yes ..you can have it for £2 and she gave him the money....me thinks that lad will go far with charm like that at 5 years old!!!!

    Don't think I can risk taking him out as he said to me today"when your hair falls out from the nasty medicine and you put your pretend hair on...when we go out I'll tell everyone but I'll also tell them it's only until your real hair grows back"...little horror

    Ah bless him, as they say theres nothing like honest children, can always remember years ago we'd gone to see Michael Barrymore and he'd got this girl up on stage turned out to be mummy was at home and daddy was out with his new friend!!

    DD - just after her 5th bday, we were down in Devon, and takeing her on steam railway, and as children under 5 were free, I was trying to cheat!!! she threw a strop, theatened to tell them, oner bribe later, she suddenly forget she was 5....
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    was thinking of a bottle and a large bar of green and blacks....ginger chocolate...yummy....probably will have to dream about it as no energy to go out but at least that way it's calorie free


    Hey hun,

    definitely the ginger one - it helps with nausea therefore classified under 'medicinal' :D.

    hugs for you

    Hi Taxi

    Very sorry to hear about the hair loss - you read up about it, discuss it, think you;re mentally prepared for it - but when it actually happens it's still a big shock :grouphug::grouphug::grouphug:



    And even worse....you have no choccie :eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

    (personally I blame a certain canine companion who snaffled a rather large amount of your secret stash earlier this week and sent half of MSE-DFW into a complete panic :rotfl::rotfl:)


    Big hugs Hun.....give your emotions some floor time ref the hair - it's a significant event and I can quite understand if you find it very upsetting :(

    However.....I also know that you will adjust to it (and your new wig-style) and start moving forwards again....when you feel ready :T

    Stay stong Hun - you WILL get there

    xxxxx

    P.S. I sincerely hope said canine is making amends by being extra attentive and loving atm ;)
