    another lazy day again as not felt too well today

    Have been using the comtents of the freezer up so that we can defrost it before filling it again...found a bag of chicken portions so had chicken chasseur with mash,cabbage and cauli for dinner.

    There is very little in there now...so will be empty in the next couple of days

    Have decided to go and do the christmas shopping later on today whilst DD2 is off work to help me and am hoping the shops will be quiet as it's monday....am not in the mood for it but certainly needs doing.
    Will have lunch as well whilst out as that will give me a rest and if I flag too much I'll sit in a coffee shop whilst DD finishes the shopping off.
    No doubt I'll be exhausted by the end of the day but hopefully it will all be done

    DD was a great help with the shopping the other day as I managed a few shops then she left me with a brew in a cafe whilst she ran around getting the other stuff..we eventually ended up with everything when DD went to town again the other day and got the last pressie..so all done.
    My angel of a daughter did the food shopping after work..don't know what I'd do without her

    Had my chemo today so that's 7 out of 12 done...not a lot else going on here as not doing much as it's rather cold out

    What a lovely DD to help you like that, you must feel a bit better with the worry of the Christmas shopping out of the way.

    A day to stay in the warm I think!

    Love to you taxi
