Hi HHD So very sorry to hear about your brother in law. Mum starts chemo next week but hasn't been given a good prognosis time wise, so I can empathise with how you must all be feeling. 

Glad you got all your garden rubbish cleared away. Hope you're able to sit out and enjoy your morning coffee again soon. Have a lovely day. xx

Thank you TF2. I'm very sorry about your mum and I hope her treatment is successful.

It very much depends upon the health of the person to begin with, the type of cancer and how they respond to treatment. BIL has lung cancer that has spread to his bones and it was picked up very late as he had no symptoms for ages, plus he wasn't in great health to begin with.

Hope DH has a lovely Birthday.  Congrats on getting all the rubbish sorted and being able to enjoy and plan your garden.

Sorry about BIL too xx

Mum isn't in the best of health either and the cancer is stage 4. Chemo is to literally try and give her an extra few months. We're just going to make the most of the time she has, it's all we can do really. xx

DH seems to be enjoying his birthday today 🎉. We had morning coffee in the garden ☕, the sun was out ☀️ and it always seems quiet and peaceful at that time of day. He's pleased with his presents 🎁 and the DC all bought him something thoughtful. Now he's happily watching a film 📺 and munching chocolates 🍫. We're not getting a takeway for money-saving and virus-related reasons, but I'm going to cook instead. 

Apart from ironing some tops for work I don't need to do much else today but relax and as it's been a tiring week I intend to 🙂.

I think a lot of men aren't too bothered about a lot of birthday fuss. As long as it's remembered, there are cards and something nice to eat, they're happy !

Enjoy a relaxing day.

Happy Birthday to DH 🎂 We never order takeaways either, I'm always disappointed with them and don't like the idea of not being able to see where they're cooked. I don't eat meat and don't like to think that my food might be in contact with it. You can make lots of nice fakeaways - much healthier and budget friendly.

Thanks SA . I agree about takeways, I often feel that they're not worth the money as we could have cooked something just as nice. I don't think vegetarian takeaway options are that good anyway.

Hope you and Mr H are having a lovely relaxing day Hairy, I agree that vegetarian takeaways are not usually very good, we do have a Greek place down the road from us though who do a yummy Halloumi wrap so I get that sometimes
