Afternoon all,

Feeling cold today, sunny but house is not very warm.....happily OH seems warm enough so heating wont be going on.

Had big salad before main meal of lamb, cabbage, leeks and potato, followed by coffee cake, really good and at least 5 of my 5 a day, happy about that.

Julie....so jealous every time you mention Australia, cant see being able to make another trip any time soon and have yet to get to Uluru, Alice or Darwin, such a big country and it has also become very expensive....I can but dream at present...

Hugs to all in need or want of one, stay safe and well

Sorry to hear you've had such a difficult day Judi (((Hugs)))

Had a slightly more hopeful hospital visit.

Seems skin cancer has moved to a difficult area and surgery may not be possible. After a couple more scans it might be possible to come up with a plan for more radiotherapy so fingers crossed.

Made mince with veg as stuffed aubergines and a version as cottage pie for DH. Had rhubarb and soya custard for afters and DDs made him a couple of juices.

Discussing putting the house up for sale next month so we can downsize eventually but don't want him under extra stress so just trying to take things step by step.

Hugs to all

Hello to all,

I hope everyone is getting by as well as possible. I've been lurking again but decided to post again after seeing the 'lost my OS ways' thread as I need to get back to the sensible ways of OS fully.

Today as I've been off poorly and bored out of my mind, I audited my cupboards and freezer then made a curry and some 'chuck in all in the pot soup' from the fridge raiding.
Somehow it all turned out pretty good although I had to buy a new blender today as the one I've had since 2007 finally broke this week after vast amounts of use.

Mr Mai even had a bit of good news come his way and the CPP reclaim gave him over £120 for something he didn't realise he had.
£20 of that went on our new blender and the other £100 will be changed into euros for our upcoming honeymoon. :-)

Hi Maitane pleased to have you on board and congratulations on your forthcoming wedding.


Elona, so glad that radiotherapy may be an option for your DH.

Maitane

Thank you Judi. I've tried to be very MSE about it and it seems that telling people that I'm having an early 30th rather than a wedding is a good trick. We're less than a month away but everything seems to have been sorted by my mum.

Mr Mai has just proved his worth a bit more a few minutes ago and removed the biggest spider we've had indoors this year while I stood on the sofa and tried not to scream. He was pretty uncomfortable with the size of the spider himself but still got rid of it. Far better than a bunch of flowers ;-)

ELONA that's the best news and something to hold on to for the time being, the future will take care of itself love but for now you have hope and that is a very good thing. I'm so pleased that it's not as bleak now as it must have been for you this morning, magic!!!
