    Part of the Furniture Combo Breaker I've been Money Tipped!
    Ah AJ we were terrible when dd left home last year, we kept standing looking in her room, it had never been empty since the day we moved into the house 16 years earlier but we solved the problem and moved into it ourselves:rotfl:
    It's just so relaxing having the house to yourselves you will soon get used to it :D
    Love the bank of M&D ours has been battered too. She left work on 23rd December and has just received her first weeks pay of maternity pay. Thanks to our fabulous friend FC I'm not replacing her name because She has been fantastic and deserves the praise.
    How funny life can be, it was this time last year that I organised that charity breakfast and a cheeky comment of, you could come you're only up the road has turned into a great friendship. She is my voice of reasoning, giving sound advice, I truly wouldn't be the person I am today in such good circumstances without her. :eek: crikey that's a bit heavy for a Thursday morning :rotfl: I should also add that I have other fabulous friends too BQ, ellie14 and sunflower, it saddens me that they don't post anymore butvi suppose nothing in life stays the same.

    Got to go to work again today :( it's a bit too repetitive for my liking :rotfl:

    That's a bit heavy for any day of the week at that time of the morning :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Things certainly do change Di, but FC never will. She's the most honest and straight talking person I'm met in a lot of years. A wonderful lass indeed :T

    I might go back to bed for an hour as I misread my clock :eek: I thought it was 7.30am, an hour early I was :mad:

    Enjoy work Di, don't overdoit, oh that's right, you never do :p :rotfl:

    Morning folks....It's going to be another beautiful day..........You know the routine....:coffee::coffee::coffee::coffee:


    I'm off.....work calls...Hi-Ho.......Have a great one....:dance::wave:

    Ah, marmie, coffee, thank you very much. I've missed this of a morning :D xx
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    looks like they all should except for the lavender one - I have a list all written out for Tesco so I plan on going at some point today!
    Great minds. I agree lavender not there. I hope,I hope to check within the hour for BM. CoS will probably take longer

    So 6 plus 5 fillers for safety.

  • Just came on to say Snap-ant, I'm so so sorry to read your news. I shedded a tear myself as I read your post :cry::heart:

    I know it's so easy to say, but be strong, research all you can about available treatments. Great advancements are being made all the time, and that's wherein my hope clings.
    Sending positive thoughts and prayers :A

    Good morning to all the lovely Elite peoples :wave:

    I'll just off load my dreadful news

    My sister has lumps in her neck.
    Over a 3 month period starting with Drs, then hospital scan, biopsy, another scan booked for this Friday... no results...
    Yesterday she was called out of the blue into see Consultant - she has cancerous lymph glands.
    He is pretty certain it is secondary cancer.
    She has to go to Cardiff on Monday for a full body scan to see where (or hopefully not) the primary cancer is ..
    Going forward is an op to remove glands, then chemo or radio therapy.
    It has been sinking in all day, Poor Mum & Dad are floundering... I know Dad has blood cancer but that seems in a different league to this.
    This is my little sister...

    I know others here have suffered & are suffering, and it is all new to us as a family, I hope you won't mind me asking stuff I don't understand?

    apologies xxx

    What can I say? You have broad shoulders and have been a tower of strength for your family and they wouldn't be where they are today without you, so, pick yourself up get rid of gout buy yourself a new pair of crocks and admire your new kipling get yourself positive then get yourself in for round 2 of the fight.... but remember you have a very large elite family who are always here for you...:A

    Big Hugs x
