    How wonderful of your daughter. It must be a good feeling to know that the Xmas shopping is just about done. Every year I say I'll get ahead next year and every year it creeps up behind me and catches me on the hop.
    Stay warm and cosy.

    Hi Taxi, ah, your DD is brilliant, isn't she - I'm glad you're not going outside. Its a bit warmer today, but really unpleasant still. I was up north last weekend, and travel was *so* difficult. Its great that you're more than halfway through the chemo, good to see.

    Popping in to say hiya. So pleased to hear you've got most of your Christmas shopping done with help from your daughter. She most certainly is an Angel to you :)
    Take care and hope you're relaxing over the weekend

    Hello sweets.

    First time I've been on for months and the first thing I see is the word chemo. No fair. Rotten luck once never mind twice, I hope it gets the f-off message this time.

    Avastin seemed to help me last year so fingers crossed it works well for you too.

    If there's anything at all I can do, please let me know. I will be keeping a close eye on you to check you're behaving.

    Hi Taxi, glad you've been sleeping lots with the weather being so cold, best thing for you. I'm sleeping better myself, actually, though I went to bed at a *completely* ridiculous time last night, my own fault. The only excuse is that once I got nice and warm after being out, I didn't fancy budging!

    Hope you're keeping nice and warm.
