    Lesleyanne - It snowed a bit last night and is supposed to snow a bunch today. You are right about ski week being crowded but we went to Homewood and it was awesome! My daughter and her friend are going back for another round today. I'm kind of tired - didn't realize how much energy it takes! I made it for two days so I'm good to relax today. Monterey sounds lovely! 

    Dakota - you are going to LOVE the show. It is one of two shows that I watch, the other being Grey's Anatomy. 

    Happy day everyone! Here's to balls and butt cracks!

    Keemo, stuck in Tahoe? What a bonus. Make the most of it - it may never happen again!

    Lesley, enjoy the snow when you go. Too bad you don't ski anymore just like me. There's nothing like being up on top of a mountain, the sun shining, breathing that pure, cold air, getting that rush as you go down with just the sound of your ski's cutting through the snow. Unfortunately my skiing days are over too. Badly twisted my knee skiiing a few years ago, have gone skiing again, but I'm now too tense and scared to let go and enjoy it. So made the decision to rather just give it up, but I'm always jealous when my friends go skiing at Mount Washington here on Vancouver Island for the day. It is just over an hour's drive away from where we live. Maybe I should take up snow shoeing.

    Scottiee, thanks for sharing that touching story. If us women ruled the world, that war would never have taken place. That war still affects society to this day.

    Edi, I hope you had little nap sometime today? Hope the wrinkly pair are doing a good job on your new bathroom. SIL sounds like a real prince. So cold, and so disrespectful. Daughter can really be commended for standing her ground. My DIL sent me an e-mail this morning. She has put DS on a diet, and is asking my advice. Fired off a long e-mail, and I know she will do what I advise, but the question is if DS will comply? Well, they are newly married, he's a people pleaser who will surely want to please his bride, so fingers crossed. 

    Traii, I blissfully slept till nine this morning after going to bed so late. Didn't dream of men, but of rumballs, meringue and cupcakes - yeah baby! My focus had obviously shifted . . .lol.

    Dakota, Nihahi, Caitlin, Websister, Carla, Benny and everybody else, have a good day!

    Hi all,

    I had a bad day yesterday - achey all over and felt crappy. Last night I slept OK and today I actually got dressed and am planning a nice walk in the sunshine today - so hopefully that will help. Just another day or two of feeling yucky and then hopefully I will pick up a bit.

    You ladies make me smile!! I love reading all your posts.

    Dear Adagio, hang in there. A nice walk in the sunshine is just what the doctor ordered. Good for your mood, and good for your figure too. Hope you will feel better soon. Big hugs!

    HI Sisters, Got up at 5.30am today but that is good for me, we went to bed 10pm so seven hours straight yay.
    Went back to bed upstairs,had less liquid before bed and only came down to loo now !
    Kettle goes on and then HAVE to check you all.Smile no way will DH be up at this time so safe from hiding netbook lol.
    Even tho very tired yesterday once  plumbers arrived I had a quick nap, had a banana for some energy then took myself off to shops. BLISS.
    I have a bag with wheels due to not carrying heavy things and how the wheels didn't  fly off into space I will never know.It was full with three more bags hanging off the handles.
    Just bits and bobs, posh loo roll for when bathroom done. bits of groceries and a NEW DRESS, I am addicted to sweater dresses and warm black tights, so comfy.
    Came home made Quorn cottage pie with spring cabbage, raspberry sponge and custard ( For DH only  Frown ) I ate every scrap of the main meal and actually enjoyed it for the first time in ages.
    DH went into s/room to watch footy I started to catch up on TV and SPLAT must have nodded off. Was awakened by my prince yelling, he thought I was unconcious !! Jeepers I was sooo deep asleep I hadn't heard him crashing about like a baby elephant.
    Went up and splat again. Feel great,will see if it lasts.

    Liefie, You are right things do get better, thought of you as headed out yesterday,
    Love that you close laptop. We are the SECRET WARRIOR SISTERS lol.
    Will give my boy that extra hug, don't think he gets many DIL holds onto his hand when they are here, all show for my benefit.
    Hope your eye all better ?
    You bouncing on that ball yet lol. x

    Dakota, no abyss for you ever again,
    Your prince will come and I can see you in Your sunroom smiling and happy with him and your beautiful children.

    Scottie, hi How did your app  with MO go ? Hope time with BF did you good.

    Traii, Hope all well around you. Green gone how awful. Must be so scarey but glad you were all spared having to leave your beautiful home.
    Bingo tonight yay. Wow your prizes are fab,
    Did you get your retail fix with Mum while DS at kindy ?

    Adagio, sorry you had a bad day, you have a great attitude and will get through this, ( HUG )
    Hope you got your walk in the sun.

    Nihahi, Hope you got to the meadow ? Fog is soo horrid. Wrinkly plumber and his mate drove thru some on way here yesterday. We had bright sunshine, weird as only few miles apart.

    Just re read posts, Liefie. How wonderful that you can liase with your DIL re your son's diet.
    my DS marieed the "B" the year of 9/11, as time went on his weight crept up. On one visit we were in the kitchen and I asked DIL if she could maybe encourage him to cut back on sweets,cookies etc ?
    She gave me the "B" glare and said " IF YOU think I am putting my marriage at risk by telling my husband what he can and can't eat, you can think again "
    My beautiful boy is now unrecognisable, he is morbidly obese. Has trouble walking, and when he sits in a chair, trouble getting out.
    Diabetes is genetic in my family and that was my one worry but now heart disease etc too.
    When they came the other day she too is now massive !! When they sit on the sofa the frame groans. When they stayed over once he sat on the edge of our old sofa bed and it snapped and bent.
    Thank goodness the GD's slim at moment.
    Hope your son listens to his caring wife and Mom, sure he will.

    I wait with dread for the phone call to tell me DS is either diabetic or in hospital .

    Hi Gals....

    Had a great morning with mum doing some much needed retail shopping, forgot what it was like to shop without taking drinks and treats in a back pack with a nagging 3 year old ... lol.......DS did enjoy kindy and said he was ' a little bit naughty' asking him why, he replied all excited, ' i was running right, and Miss Karen told me to slow down, i did mummy, i slowed down, i was good boy!!" hmmmmm amazing when someone else tells him to slow down (from running) he does it  and when we tell him he looks at us as if ' yeh right slow down, ha' ......!!

    Edi, bingo, yippee do they say (eyes down, your first number)!!.....yes prizes here are great here....shall we meet to play some bingo here.....!

    guess what,? I noticed hair on my legs ( I know its not somethign I would have been excited about before chemo, but wow, I can shave my legs tomorrow to wear my dress to my appt with the dreaded Plastic surgeon !! The hair on my head is growing too.....its not prickly its actually nice and soft.....and not grey like I thought it might come back with all the stress....lol...I'm so excited I was standing in the bathroom taking photos of my head to send it to my mum.....this was at midnight last night ... lol......Kiss

    Lifie, glad you got to sleep and dreamt of food other than the 'plumbers crack' lol.......

    Dakota, how are you hunni ? Kids having fun at day care ?

    Scottie, thanks for sharing story.....

    Keemo, I loooove Greys Anatomy, DH doesn't like 'gory' things they show on tv so I tape it if he isn't asleep already by the time the show starts....lol

    My DH just went off to bed.....I am such a good wifey, just made him some bacon and eggs for breakfast to take to work.....! It was so funny, just now he was sleeping on couch and made like a bird noise in his sleep.....he woke up and said what where, I said 'over there in the tree' DH looking around quiet dillusional at this point , here i am laughing about to pee my pants trying not to be too loud as to not wake up the 'miniature steam train' (DS)

    Glad everyone is sounding well ...... I'm off to play some Bejeweled and Candy Saga on FB.....( a little addictive ) lol

    Hugs to all you gorgeous girls xx

    Hi all....appt went well except I left without my new script for Letrozole.!!!!!..Inhave to go back there today with my son. He gets to see the cardiologist regarding his abnormal ECG he had last week, so hopefully I can pick it up



    Edi....I am an ex dietitian and feel bad about your son....your "B" really is a "B" ...

    You seriously need to take your son aside for a talk.....he REALLY needs to take charge of his health, the sooner the better....I know it's easier said than done as my older son

    is in a slump just now re going to the gym and he does love his beer. He gets very defensive when I try to talk to him. Love my family but in my next life I'm staying single

    and "fancy free"....lol



    Dakota....makes it so much harder for you when the kids are obviously hurting too.

    I'm praying you stay strong for them.



    Oh Trail....retail shopping with Mom....how wonderful. Remember the days well. My Mom and I were entirely different as shoppers......she went strictly on quality and I was middle of the road, in that I like variety so went for second best. My mom loved the best

    and she would save her pennies and wait patiently for the item to go on sale .....drove me nuts as I could never do that. I see something I love, have to have it... Hmmm

    Ok, now I know why my account was always showing 0.......lol. Still love retail therapy

    but not like the good old days before BC....I was a shop to you drop kind of gal....could outshop my younger friends as well. Now, thank you Letrozole, if I make it through a morning or afternoon, it's an extremely good day.



    Edi I love shopping in Glasgow....now with my "new" lack of energy I think I'll rent a



    wheel chair if I go home, that way I can be like the old

    me and go all day.💃💃💃 AND

    can have a nap midday right in the chair.....lol



    Benny....hope things are going well for you!!!!



    Everybody else....have a great day....will report what the doc says about my son....

    So sick of seeing white coats....I want to suggest a colour change for the medical establishment....like sunny yellow or orange or a cool purple.

    Awwww Edi, with every post about your son I become sadder and sadder. He is obviously eating away his pain, and jeopardizing his health. He is probably not even aware that he's literally medicating himself with food. Maybe if this is pointed out to him, he may start thinking about it? He and his daughters can easily do lots of things together for exercise - sure the missus won't want to take part - and they can share that, they can inspire Dad, and make sure he sticks with the program. He's not just a victim, should take responsibility for what he's eating, and really take charge of his own situation, not just leave it to her to feed him. He can turn it around over time for his children's sake. It's a lifestyle change, a marathon, not a sprint. It will not only change his body, but he will become way more confident too. He just needs to make that all-important decision to take charge of his own situation. He is just too young to suffer like this! I agree with Scottiee re talking to him. Could you maybe write him a letter? Wonder why the wife is so big too? Not cooking properly maybe? Takeaways? Just don't care? Who knows? Won't put her marriage at risk, but doesn't hesitate to put their lives at risk, as well as teaching her children bad eating behaviours - what the heck? Lol.

    Glad you got out and got yourself a new dress. Nothing better that that to lift a woman's spirit! The more you do that, the sooner life will become 'normal' again. I had to purposely push myself to go out, and shake off the 'patient' mentality.

    Scottiee, like your suggestion of yellow or orange for drs - they won't look so washed out either. Still holding thumbs for your son. My boys are the same ages as your two, so I feel your pain. My older one also has a bit of a weight problem. Had been working full time and studying hard these last few years, so neglected himself. He's done studying, but now he works 12 hour days. Where must he find the time for exercise? He said he was going to get back into shape, and bought himself a scale (yay!!), so I hope he can find a way to do this. The younger boy's wife has put him on a diet, so we'll see how that goes. I'm trying to stress to them that lifestyle change is what they need to do, not diets, because they DON'T WORK. Oh man!

    Dakota, even your children are beginning to notice that he's not there for them - that is so sad. Cockroach seems pretty heartless. Shame on him for hurting his children.

    Traii, YAYYY for the hair growth, and the leg hair too! Shave away! I was so lucky that my hair grew back everywhere except on my legs, and in the left armpit where I was radiated. Had to get some perk out of the whole crappy situation! I have some on my feet though - lol!

    Everybody else, hope you are having a great day!

    This weekend we are going to visit a friend on one of the nearby islands. He is embroiled in a bad divorce case, and he hopes it will become final this week. So he wants to celebrate a little. She had been cheating on him for years and years with a lot of men, and he forgave and forgot every time, and kept it together for the sake of their children. After 25 years he realized the futility of the situation, that she would never change, and he moved out 5 years ago. Tried to take his own life. He's doing really well now, but it took him a very long time to come to grips with this. He is a caring, loving, sensitive person, and the most loyal friend you can imagine. Too bad that wife abused and trashed his goodness the way she did. Hopefully he will meet a nice woman who really appreciates him - she will be spoilt rotten. Dakota?

    Finally back from Tahoe after getting up at 5:00 to leave. It was kind of scary driving in the dark snow-covered roads. Guess I am a Southern Cali wuss! Oh well.

    Edi - so sorry about your situation with your son. I have taught fitness classes for many years and have had the opportunity to work with lots of people who needed a bit of help to get motivated. I guess my take away would be that it is really and truly painful to admit that you have let your weight get out of control. It is even harder to try to change - what if you fail? Talking is tough becuase you aren't going to tell him anything he doesn't already know. My suggestion would be to find a gym that offers a wide variety of classes and really supportive instructors. Then you can come to him with a solution (if you can afford to make it a gift, that might be nice - 3-month trial). All he has to do is show up - that is the goal, nothing more. Just get to the gym 3 times/week. It sucks in the beginning but if he has alot of weight to lose, it will come off quickly at first. If he would go for a walk on days he doesn't go to gym, that would be awesome! There are great people out there that will support him 100% on this journey. Sorry for all the unsolicited advise. This is something I care deeply about!

    Traii - if you like Grey's Anatomy, you have to check our Private Practice! 

    Hope everyone else is having a rockin day! Stay tough, Dakota! You can do it....

    Bevlee, congrats on last chemo......go girl Laughing

    Keemo, between Grey Anatomy and Private Practice DH knows not to talk to me during that time!!!....lol.

    Liefie, funny I don't have hair under my arms either, haven't since I had radiation when I was 18years old....so really only shaved a few times in my life......Smile Sounds like you have a great weekend planned....Dakota and he would treat eachother with utmost respect....Dakota, pack your bags you and the kiddies are going on a break with Liefie....lol

    Dakota, I'm not going to say I can't believe that that cockroach hasn't phoned to see how you or your kids are!! Your poor daughter saying that she feels neglected by her daddy.....IT has neglected his whole family .... he should be ashamed of himself.!!

    Edi, did you call out bingo? Plumbers done the job or is DH still checking out their work...lol.....How did your DH go with his blood test results, all good to drive the bus ?

    Scottiee, shopping with mums are the best . I must say though, mum and I are not savers when it comes to retail shopping...lol. If we want something we get it, we can't layby because we don't have patience to wait around for things....The only things I have started to layby only in the passed year were toy sales for all the kids I need to buy toys for for Christmas's and birthdays.. I don't do it all the time...but it is good and I was so happy I started last year as I didn't have much things to buy at christmas .

    Adagio, hope you are feeling better today and get out and about a bit.

    Benny, hope you are ok

    Ok, went to see my Plastic Surgeon today, she was  a little more better today, almost like someone had told her I didn't really take to her attitude last time...lol, whoops oh well!! anyway I'm 'penciled' in my MX for the 9th May.

    At this stage I've opted for BMX but have the option to do that later. I'm going for implants, no tissue expanders ( I'll have excess skin with these DD boobies I got) so hoping that because I've been radiated on already my skin will heal nicely. I tried telling her well look at my lumpectomy site...it healed well and the BS was suprised at how quickly it healed....The PS sounded much more positive today although she kept saying you poor thing chemo, has a 3 year old , had Hodgkin's when she was younger, her head wasn't with it last time ( she was telling all this as if I wasn't there to the Breast Care nurse) like hellllloooooooooo I'm here, opposite you, helloo... knock knock!! but I just let her go.....let her say what she wanted because I sure did know what I wanted last time and again this time..yeh yeh poor me, but i'm living today don't feel sorry for me, do what needs to be done and thats that and do it right!! I found out that she operates with by BS so that's why I'm going to stick with this PS ..... don't get me wrong, she is ok and tells you the way it is.... I just don't like when she says i'm a 'rare' case when I'm sure there are many other women out there that have had radiation to the breast and thats why we are here talking and living BC because of it...... I'm not rare, I'm 'special' lol....

    Have a great day all...we are all off for dinner tonight to the chinese restaurant.....can't wait, yummmo!

    luv you all xx

    Hi Ladies,

    It's 10 pm here and I am baking cookies for the nurses.  Steroid's are great for some things.  Round 3 tomorrow.  Caitlin and I will be bellying up to the bar.

    Websister, I will be thinking about you tomorrow.. 

    Scottiee, I am saying prayers for your son, I'm sure he will be fine.  It is just so scary when it is our children no matter how old they are.

    Adagio, I hope you feel better soon!  I'm not looking forward to Sunday that's when mine usually hits.

    Bevlee, Yay!!!!  Last one so so happy for you.

    Edi, all your post about baking and cooking has rubbed off on me, my family is so happy.  I agree with everyone about your "B" but I truly believe your son will wise up, like I said it took my brother a long time! I really like Dakota's idea!

    Traii, glad you liked your PS better I still need to find another one.  Met with mine twice I think he a good but awful bedside manner, I wasn't real impressed and Mike didn't like him at all.  I have some time.

    Liefie, how's the eye? I may have missed a post.

    Missed the gym today weather was bad here and I didn't want to drive down the hill..  I felt bad when I didn't go because I won't make it next week too many germs, I will just get out and walk.. 

    Benny, Luvmy, Jennie, Keemo, Bearcub, Dakota, thinking of all of you..

    Love you all,

    Carla

    Traii, your surgery date is 12 days before mine in May - we'll wait this out together. PS sounds as if she met you for the first time today - LOL.  Or maybe she only read your file for the first time before you came to see her today, and learned for the first time what a 'special' case you are . . . Anyway, as long as she can do the job it is fine.

    Glad to hear that your radiated skin healed well after the lumpectomy. It gives me hope that mine will heal well too after the DIEP surgery - always something to worry about. That will hopefully be my last surgery in a very long time.

    Chinese restaurant sounds lovely. Enjoy! I love Chinese food, but don't often get to eat it, because DH doesn't like it. Have to take his car to the neighbouring town to be serviced tomorrow, and hang around town for a few hours while they work on the car. Can maybe find a Chinese restaurant and treat myself. Why not?

    Carla, the eye is okay. Sutures came out today, and it looks good. I have to put on ointment 4 x a day for two more weeks. Thanks for asking!

    Wow liefie we can do this together. I think Nihahi and Dakota had exchanges around April so we can all 'ice' it together and all be stirfrys !!

    Chinese Restaurant was yummy. We made our own banquet, and today I was naughty, I had a banana fritter with icecream...as much as I felt guilty, oh it was too nice to miss out on ... lol. guess I'll jsut go for a long walk while DS is at kindy tomorrow !!

    Hope you find that chinese restaurant while you wait for DH's car to be serviced....:)

    Carlads, I know my PS has a bad bedside manner....she still today the way she was talking somethings were ok others I think are you serious!! Hope you find one better ... I think so long as they do the job well I'm happy with that. I'm happy when she said that my BS will be there to assist....thank goodness because I like her.

    Not like Nihahi not to be on here today.....talking about her 'balls of peas' lol

    Edi, glad to hear your eye was all good, phew ok :)

    Well we went from fire to storms.....Thunder , lightening, hail and rain .... oh though it was hot hot and more hot this morning/ afternoon.

    I ordered a new wig...a little shorter this one.....this is the next short step before my hair grows back and i'm ready to take it off and be with my 'boy look' as my DS calls me a 'boy' when I have my bandana on at home...lol.....

    well i'd better be off to bed, 1:15am here. Bin truck in the morning !!! DH has a day off tomorrow so routine out the door !! We are going to book somewhere nice to take DS when i finish chemo and before i have surgery..its our treat to our selves for going through all of this and for missing out on going away at christmas time. Might take him to see the fury penguins...they are cute and nice time of year to do it I think. We just bought mum and dad tickets and accomodation to fly interstate as their little treat and thank you.....they told me off and I said well you can't refuse them.....they are under your name and all booked.....:)

    Boy, now I know how it feels to be "behind" in the messages. Lots of good news from so many people, hope I don't miss the shout outs to anyone. Physio on Tuesday (for my shoulder) angered the alien more than it has ever before. I have had a couple "poor me" days and just couldn't seem to snap out of it. All I could think of was my f***ing alien and the wait for the surgery. Today the alien has retreated, shoulders have relaxed, sun is shining on the mountains, So, all is good again......

    Traii, you are such a sweetie, thinking of others so much. You are like the poster girl for positive thinking!!!!! LOVE the idea of treating yourself and family to special things. It shows your true colours, as you recognize all they have done to help you. Where would you go to see furry penguins???? Sounds amazing, and also means you have GOT to learn to post photos!!!!!!!

    Traii, Dakota, Liefie and me....we're the April/May gang. Can't remember dates, but I think I'm first up? April 12???? So we'll all be doing drugs together!!!!! Sounds like a party theme for one of Edi's cakes!!!!! Instead of edible flowers, she can sprinkle it with pills!!! Currently I have yellow ones, blue ones, and blue and white ones. 

    Dakota, the cockroach needs to be attacked with giant cans of bug spray!!!! I lived in Miami (Florida) for awhile and had a friend who couldn't bear to stomp on them and hear the craaaack. So she'd attack them with spray, then put a glass over top and wait for someone to come over and step on them. Made for an interesting visit with her, for sure.

    Carla, "cookies for chemo", can you put some in your pockets for us party girls??? Sounds like you're doing so good getting through this. 

    Bevlee.....Hooray!!!! Now you can focus on healthy living stuff and waiting for the grandbaby!!!! 

    Keemo, glad you got home safe and sound. The news here has been showing the snow in Cal and Arizona. Crazy if you're not used to it. You could send some to our mountains, anytime you want.

    Liefie...sounds like the eye is coming along nicely. Great news. I vote for a Chinese lunch too! Can we please have dumplings??? My favorite thing....if done right. Surely you've got some spring flowers starting by now? 

    Caitlin...good to see your posts, how are things with you??? You're getting through chemo....go girl!!!!!

    LesleyAnne...Not quite the contrast here from season to season play, but we can play golf and go ski at the same time, with about an hour drive between sites. Have you tried the snowshoes yet? What giudelines were you given about wearing a backpack after your flap surgery? I'm wondering if the shoulder strap will be an issue for the first little while?????

    Edi.....Sounds like the new loo will be a stunner!!!!! Any word yet on hubby's bp? I have a couple friends who snored like trains gone wild, lots of headaches and bp issues. Turns out they have sleep apnea. Once they started using their cpap machines, bp dropped way down. Has hubby been checked for that???? Sleep apnea is serious stuff and affects lots of body"parts". Glad to hear the eye check went well. Bet you look smashing in your new outfit!

    Websister...I think you start rads soon if memory serves...you will rock that too, just like everything else. Remember to put yourself on the "look after" list!!!! Bet Mom is getting settled, especially since she had a day out with you last week. Probably helps her realize that she can still connect with the "outside". 

    Benny...what's up?????? Bet you're not going to the barn today....we've got a windchill of -21 this morning!!!!!!!

    Better send this off before I lose it......Don't want Edi's "posting disease" to hit! Sorry to anyone I didn't mention...Love you all.

    Not to worry, Websister.....I've snagged some Carla cookies for you, and they are waiting for you post rads. Didn't think the rad techs would appreciate crumbs on the table ;). Can't believe nobody brought coffee though, so you'll have to stop at Timmies and pick up a "roll up the rim" cup on your way home! Cause we all know you're a winner!

    Be good to yourself today, as you start on another road back to succesfull tx. BYE BYE BC!

    Nihahi, Sorry you been low  Frown  that fxxxxxxg alien needs to grab Dakota's cockroach and do one.
    Got a little story for you about those horrible insects. Our first house was a little terraced place in Liverpool. I had NEVER seen a cocky as they are known here. One evening DH DS and I came home late evening from my Mum's, opened front door and this thing jumped off the wall and ran down the bare boards of the hall, then vanished under the skirting board.
    Silly me tells lady next door whilst hanging out the laundry and she says, " be careful they crawl into your ears lay eggs which then eat your brain " My DS who was a baba at the time went to bed in a hat with flaps over the ears tied under the chin for months !!
    Now I know you are thinking, silly bxxxh but I had post natal dep and was already gaga without that info.
    Turned out the entire area was riddled with them. Some people called in the exterminators like us. The amount of older people who swore they didn't have them was no help as each house needed to be bombed under the floors.
    That was our incentive to buy our first house the other side of the river so they did us a favour.
    Stories about cockies are folklore in Liverpool. In the days of the beehive hairdo it was reported that a young woman who just combed over the top hair each day had one lay eggs which hatched in there and she ended up in hospital !! So maybe hat on DS not so nutty.
    Wrinkly butt just left for the day. Tiling half done and bath in place, yay we have a shower downstairs but have sooo missed long hot soak. Don't think we can use it just yet but one step nearer.
    GD ran upstairs yesterday to have a look see. Came down with eyes like saucers. Nana your bathroom has gone she says. Then she looks out of patio doors to where it is neatly stacked on the back deck. Nana THERE it is. lol. Bought her a minnie mouse shower cap with big bow on it yesterday for her first sleep over shower in a few weeks.
    DH BP perfectly normal by the way. No medication required and licence in tact. Seems he has white coat syndrome. They SHOULD wear colours defo.

    Traii, lovely that all you girls going thru this together in that you will all be able to compare and help each other.
    I want to see a fluffy penguin too please.
    How lovely for you parents to have that gift from you.
    Happy bin day lol

    I have slept most of afternoon since eye test, suddenly really weary, it is flippin freezing here again. DH at work so really peaceful.

    Hope everyone had good day, despite treatments LOVE you all getting off before this goes Poof. xx
