  • Jelly is playing buggies next to me on my phone. Shape and colour sorting on the highest difficulty (so matching words not the actual things - I say she can't read, but I'm not convinced!!)

    We went to the park straight from nursery and she had a good old swing before we came home and baked some cookies from the mix in the fridge :) now got an hour to coast before we have some dinner and then she can have a shower rather than a bath. Sore bum was cured overnight by super cream so no need to repeat salt bath/drowning of the bathroom.

    She has done something to my phone. The screen is not picking up my touching it very well any more. This frustrates Jelly in turn who launches it, therefore exacerbating the issue... which she caused in the first place by throwing it. I genuinely may have to send it off to be fixed. And I wonder why I lost a NSD today on £2.99 silicon keyboard cover for the mac... Lol

    Speaking of which. My phone is called Tallulah, which my mac tells me whenever they connect up or interact :rotfl: so I had better name the mac really. I might call it Mac Taylor.flirty4-smiley.gif

    Yes isas are rubbish not many people taking out isas now well done for decluttering the chocolate orange!! I am also in bed with electric blanket on and have the same view as your electric blanket is cheaper to run then putting the heating on to heat all the roots not sure my energy company are happy with that option but it works for me

  • Wow... super bummed right now.

    Mum has been to see the Oncologists today, after being told they had removed all of the cancer etc.

    She has to have 6 cycles of chemotherapy, 15 cycles of radiotherapy and 5 years of arimadex hormone treatment :(

    Lilt, so sorry to hear that, your poor mum. I know as you've said she's strong and she will get through it, but it's just rubbish that she has to.

  • Thanks guys.

    Its ok. It is just that realistically, that is another 2 years of her life as a slave to this. She is going to have her head shaved to fund some physio for a friends child who has cystic fibrosis before it falls out. She was going to have it cut short but she would rather make some money for a good cause.

    Just going to have to find out the best dates when she will be well and arrange to see her then. Was going up to see my friends new baby but am going to have to put it off until we know what is going on.

    It will be fine.

    Am watching an old episode of Friends and chilling on the sofa. Had some chilli and rice which is even better today than yesterday. I'd give you the recipe but its a dash of this and a pinch of that :rotfl:
