Morning All!!

:wave: Nice to have you back MissP. Sorry to hear things have been a bit tough recently.

Bearacus - Hope your mum is doing ok

Well I have been promised an AFD tonight (yeah, yeah. I know what you're all thinking. I'm taking it with a big pinch of salt as well :rotfl:) MrR has been bouncing off of the wall/doorframes the last couple of eveings so I really hope he makes an effort. There is no wine in the flat, just a couple of beers, and he is having to pick me up from a friends house on his way home from work which means I'll be there to remind him that he doesn't have to stop off at the shop for anything .

Wrap up warm today folks, it's a cold one out there.

MrsR xx

Can't bear the cold weather so I'm dreaming of wearing flip flops and summery things today - also beginning to order lots of lovely seeds and plants to grow for the summer - OH has 2 grape vines for his birthday present on order .

Well done everyone with what you're achieving :T

Off to the gymn, full monty today, circuit training,swim,sauna and jacuzzi; followed by a slump in the chair.
Hope everyone meets their targets today.Peterbunny

9 afds for me please shaggy and 1 for the SNC please bearacus. I really want to make my target this month before I go on hols at the end of the month so no wavering for me! plus i have a spare tire to get rid of! I'm out for a meal tonight but am driving so will stick to sparkling mineral water. There's four of us who go and all but one drives so no bells when I get home hopefully. Everyone is being really active this month which is good. I find that if I do a class in the evening the last thing i want is a drink. Have a fab day everyone.

Thankyou everyone for the well wishes :lovethoug . Mum is doing well on the radiotherapy (9/25 done) and herceptin. The side effects are not bad but she is getting tired and sore and we seem to have anything from 1-2 hours delay every day at the hospital xx On a good note though we have met some really lovely/amazing people over the course of her treatment and all we seem to do is laugh everyday :rotfl:
She may have to have more chemo and radiotherapy but we don't find that out till 2nd of feb xx Thanks again for all the support :T

16 af please shaggy and 1 for the snc

Got an mot, dentist appointment and hospital appointment today x so will update the challenge later x

Hi Bearacus, I Know what it is like as I had to take my dad for Chemo at Christie's for months. Waiting around hospitals is the worst bit.
Big hugs:) and hope the rest of the day is good.
