    So glad your not in the flooded area, we're lucky where we are as the river swollen, we get the downfall coming in from Wales, its flooded some areas and took out the railway, quite weird driving past and seeing 10 coaches crammed into the car park.

    Thats good news that DH had a busy day.

    hope you get your ESA sorted, sounds likes at least their taking notice.

    Good luck for 2mor with weightwatchers.

    As for lazy days, - we all need them at times, and its your body catching up from all the years you have done putting everyone else 1st. xxx
    xx rip dad... we had our ups and downs but we’re always be family xx

    Hi Taxi - yep, that feeling of wanting to do something when you don't feel up to it - thats really horrible! Boring, and frustrating - I get that when I have a virus, different from yours, and much less serious, of course, but same feelings involved.

    I feel so sorry for the flooded areas - hope you stay safe yourself.

    Lost 4.5lbs at WWs today so happy with that.
    Went for the shopping and had a fab lunch in Booths with DH..we had bread for life with oils (shared) followed by lamb chump, mint mash,carrots,cabbage and onion gravy followed by sticky toffee pudding with white chocolate ice cream..it was delicious and beautifully presented

    Didn't do the banking but will do it tomorrow when I pop out to home bargains

    Well done on the weight loss.......... !!!! I understand exactly what you mean re Tesco, to some extent I think all the major supermarkets do this. You only have to look at the milk prices paid to farmers to see this...... Tesco are not good though.... I do like the co-op for their ethical food policy and their fair trade products.............

    I also feel incredibly sorry for the people flooded. There was a bit on the telly where this poor woman had been flooded and the thing that had upset her the most was the fact she had lost all her precious photograph albums...:(

    Glad your o/h is continuing to do okay... I would really love grandchildren..

    Well,I'm really fed up.sad and angry today !!!!

    Got a call from Preston hospital today to say that they are cancelling my radiotherapy (due to start tomorrow) as per request of my oncologist and that I'd be getting an appointment through the post to see him.
    I then phoned to speak to his secretary but she was on her lunch break so left a message with another secretary for her to call me.
    Put the phone down and it rang straight away..it was my oncologist to say that after looking at the scans/speaking to Preston team he wants to have a team meeting at Blackpool hospital to discuss my treatment as Preston team seem to think I need to have chemo before rads.He also said he wants to see me in clinic next thursday and he would explain the rationale etc and that his secretary would phone me with the appt.
    Just spoke to her and will see him at 12.30 next thurs.

    I am so angry and upset that this is happening as they have had months to sort all this crap out.
