Hi dragonfly 

hope your hubby is on the mend and you are finding some you time ( which you most certainly have earned).

If all else fails .... cake eat cake ( wine drinking is also allowed) ;-)

Wow, very interesting! Xx

Hello pet, just wanted to dip in and squeeze your hand....your amongst lovely ladies here....xxxx

Morning peeps 

Erm.... wouldn’t mind a dizzel update ;-)

bad :- must get back on diet wagon.... not put on but not lost either. Let’s face it all the Xmas chocolate is not helping but..... it tastes soooo good.... I want a walnut whip now lol. 

good :- my twine has arrived..  can’t remember why I wanted or needed it lol.... but it’s arrived so ... gotta b good right  ...... opened package nd thought why....checked eBay and yup there in black nd white that I’d ordered 6wks ago...\o/ oh well :-)

been binge watching numerous period dramas- austin, Gaskell etc. Decided I def would not have wanted t live in them days.... I would have been a scullery maid if I was lucky. What a thankless soul destroying downtrodden existence most people had. But.... I don’t and I’m not so .... good times eh lol .

have as good a day as u can peeps x

Thank you Sandra, just feel I want to give something back after all the support I have had off here and raise some money! Plus who doesn’t like a party!! I have put on invites pink clothes optional!! But hopefully most will have something pink on! 

What a lovely thought sundial donating her unsold items. Sad she has closed her online though as liked seeing what had been made. 

Have as good a day as you can everyone x

Hi sundial

oh no you are closing your online shop.... hope all is well. I know u get a lot of pleasure knitting and your garments are fab at ridiculously low prices!  It is of course lovely you are donating them ️

You are so creative are you going to continue knitting and donating or channel your creativity elsewhere? 

One of the reasons I decided to start making things for an Easter tree ( never had one before) was it felt as good as any project to start when I got repetitive strain from knitting and needed to rest up.... it’s worked. 

You could be foreman ( or as they like to call them these days.... project manager) on your new garden room. Or or  interior designer for it.... oooh I would be so going whole hog on that idea.... fingers down to knuckles from all the Pinterest searching lol.

anywhose lass whatever reason etc tight shoulder squeeze because I know it won’t have been an easy decision to make x ️x

Hi Sandra and Beachbabe

Shutting the shop because I’m not selling much except to my few regulars and I often lose money anyway. That’s not the issue though. I originally started knitting to give them to charity but the two shops I rang wouldn’t take hand knits so I sold them online. It was never a money making venture.

Yes I enjoy knitting and shall continue to do so for the cancer research shop in town. When I rang the manager was so enthusiastic and said they were some of her best sellers. That was what made me finally decide to close the shop. I have no grandchildren to knit for and I can’t manage bigger garments because of the weight.  I have cupboards full if yarn so need to keep knitting. Lol.

As for the garden room, it’s coming along nicely. Boarded and plastered by the end of today. Then the patio doors will be fitted at the end of February (door on order). Then the fun interior design starts, Decorator booked for March and I will organise flooring when the doors are done.  We can’t really sit out there until the warmer weather but also the chairs I want to put in there won’t be available until my new ones arrive in May.

Hey lovely ladies. Sorry I'm not around much but totally swamped with job number 1 and 2 and other half with hospital appointments...Let alone the rest of the family lol.....Anyway I have been reading the thread, the highs the lows and the totally unrelated to cancer. I can't believe it's a year next week when I had my mammogram which showed the pesky blighter. How quick it goes.

The bad....tickly throat and cough starting

The good.....new grandson due in 7 weeks...am busy with daughter number 1 arranging the baby shower for daughter number 2.....Egypt is 10 weeks away....and I'm continuing to find joy in every day. 

For all you new ladies who have found Sandra's fab thread, welcome. The ladies here are just amazing. I couldn't have done it so well without them. For all having treatment take care of you. And all the ladies post treatment....keep well...live well.....love well xxx

Hi ladies,

Phew, lots of activity and new ladies on here it's hard to keep up. Welcome to everyone new. You've come to the right place for support.

So I started radiotherapy again today. Weren't sure whether they were going to do it as my skin is so stretched and damaged from the infection but they were happy to go ahead. Just have to take antibiotics throughout to keep infection at bay. 11 more sessions to go. If infection does occur they will just take the implant out which I'm not bothered about...not like I got a wedding dress to look good in anymore. I have lost a stone though through all the stress so every cloud lol. Jamie continues to be fab and supportive. We are going on a date tomorrow night to a nice restaurant which will be nice. Still taking things very slowly but it works for me. Am liking being able to jump in the bath at stupid o clock and just having a snack for tea instead of a full blown meal. All in all life is pretty good...apart from the obvious C word.... I got a smile on my face:-)

Hope all you ladies are doing well and life is treating you good 

Xx
