The Good, the Mad & the Lovely

I just downloaded the Bear and Hare app by John Lewis

It's fab for littlies

Good M list, eh? At the moment, I haven't looked at anything I wrote down (very little) in M tonight - the list is going from:

(a) my memory
(b) Msm.co.uk for A prices and prompts of other items
(c) previous data collected earlier this year regarding items I have remembered from tonight to still be on/be back on.

:T:T:T:T (Self-congratulatory... egotism:rotfl:*.)


(*And why not? - as it helps you (outside of Northern Ireland), and helps me, a great deal!)

Night night all. Busy day tomorrow so I hope the glitch fairy holds off until Friday!

Met up with 2 friends today, and we couldnt believe how bad we are all feeling at the mo. I've got my son with cancer and disabled as a result, one friends mum died recently and her father becauseof depression had stopped taking blood pressure medication, so had a severe stroke, and the other;s neice, who is like her daughter, has just had a double mastectomy and starts chemo week after christmas, for second time. Sometimes life sucks.

But we had the best laugh, black senses of humour all round.

Seems everyone you talk to has a friend or family member affected by cancer, it's the plague of the 21st century.
My son had skin cancer at 19 & they found abnormal cells in sentinal lymph nodes, 3 years on he's doing really well My father has prostate cancer, had a kidney removed through cancer & a year ago had lower bowel removed. My daughter took an overdose at 14 following my illness after accident. My friend lost her Mum last year with a massive brain hemorage, lost her sister this year at 46 through massive stroke & her nephew is very ill with what they thought was pancreatic cancer but now I think that has been ruled out.
We often get together for a moan & good cry but always end up smiling.
& feeling a bit better

I heard today of someone who lost a mother-in-law last Monday & her sister (only in her 30's) on Wednesday both to cancer. Both funerals this week.

I might drop the suggestion into my call to housing tomorrow, might make them reconsider. What annoys me is there are hundreds of other people more desperate for housing than me. Are they going to let a brand new house stand empty for 4 weeks then?? When they could be offering to another family before Christmas!!

I would do just that. Mention the name of the local paper, and also the name of, say, the features editor (should be able to get his/her details from the newspaper website or by ringing them).
I've worked in the media, and so I know that the local paper would love a story like that, and they'd present it exactly as you have. Words like 'Christmas' and 'family' are attention-grabbing ... in fact, wasn't there another family around Christmas-time that couldn't find anywhere to live and had to stay in a stable...? (Just thinking of the angle I would take as a journalist.)
Best of luck tomorrow:)
