Busy morning chatting & selling in the shop.

So here is the latest on Sister.

Went for after op/before Chemo consultation yesterday.

36 :eek: cancerous lymph nodes removed from her neck

The cancer is more advanced than previously diagnosed

6 weeks of daily chemo/radio therapy.
Tube in her tummy to feed her.
Loss of her teeth.

She has decided she doesn't want to have this ...

Mum distort

Flown to France today with older Sister until Sunday

Monday is next appointment

Whatever she decides I'll be beside her :A

hugs, not the news you ever want to hear.

Good afternoon all, email from payingtoomuch.com for buy 1 get 1 free cruises. Not sure if any good as havent looked. Must book by 31st May.

Spoke to Roger - sounds good.
01243 213213. Cruise & Maritime is the cruise line, cruise is for next year.

I had a look at these but the 2018 prices looked a bit inflated. The left over 2017 cruises Ive seen included a drinks package or at least drinks at the dinner table.
Their ships go from all over the place - Bristol, Portsmouth, Liverpool, there was even one going from Cardiff at the end of May 2017 but I think it came back in to another port.
Their website though does give details of the guest speakers or entertainment - some recognisable names
Might be better to get quotes from cruise.co.uk

Snap-ant. So dreadfully sorry to hear that the prognosis is not as good as you were hoping for.

Your sister has a long battle ahead and some big decisions to make, but she know you will support her and always be there for her as will the rest of your family.

Such a difficult time for you all. I know you are a strong lady with tons of compassion, but please take care.
Sending you, your sister and family love and prayers for a good outcome.

Marks - I was hoping that the Dine In for 2 offer would be on again starting today but it does not look likely.
Instead they have a £10 collections deal finishes May 16th which does not have any drink and only 3 dessert choices

So the £6 meal deal still looks like the best option if you still have your spend £25 get £5 off offer on your sparks card

Also Ive been up to Sainsbobs and despite having a huge store it does not stock the free up&go for Q clicksnap and none of the Quark for shopimum
But I did get more of the Vitalite marg which is still £1 and
i uploaded my receipt to GJ as well so at least this was something.

I was randomly wandering down the freezer section and saw a very scruffy battered pack of Cornetto caramels just dumped in a freezer - it looked like it had potential so I thought it was worth trying and it went through for 65p :j

Your trip round the freezer section reminded me mhoc....of my visit to iceland a few weeks ago.....they have introduced a rtc freezer in my local branch...and very good it is too....
opened or damaged packs are usually half price and there is usually a few other bits at at least half price or less.
I'm assuming its a national thing as when I mentioned it to DS who has a lovely iceland across the road from his uni pod he went and found something similar.

I'm saddened to hear this Snap, it's not the outcome any of us expected. Your sister has taken this decision after giving it much thought no doubt.
All you can do is be at her side, as you say, beside her. You're both in my thoughts and prayers xx

((Hugs)) to mum xx

I'll come back later

Bless you AJ...I guess we have all taken a few moments to reflect on Snap's post this afternoon...

Oh dear Snap. Sorry to hear the latest news. Your sister is so lucky having you with her on this dreadful journey. You will both have tears, anger, laughs, happy times and sad times. But you will share it together and that's what matters
