The good and the bad

Hi peeps

I have recently been diagnosed with breast cancer. Taking the excellent advice on this website I pretty much started by taking it one day at a time. This does indeed help. 

I thought to share the good and the bad and would love to hear anyone else's should they wish to share.

Today I had both a good and a bad moment. I received 2 letters in the post.

The first was from the hosp confirming my op date (my bad moment) cos my stomach dropped and I had that now familiar feeling of anxiousness take hold for a moment but shook it off cos I know it is needed. 

The good - my 2nd letter - as if... a tax rebate - boom  . Not half put a much needed smile on my face . Reckon a my treat family meal is in order.

Eeee it's the little things ain't it. 

Take care peeps

  • Cool think rileyroo is still having hers bless.

    enjoy ya game :-) daughters did that escape room thing a couple of months ago but they didn’t escape - they had one job ha ha x

  • Morning peeps 

    bad none yay

    good :- lil ones slept at mine last night. Bed at 7, slept through till 8 this morning. Playing together nicely while I have a cuppa...they are getting easier to look after as they get older :-) get em dressed at 10 then gonna make some shortbread biscuits ( for their daddy) then I’ll feed em ready t b picked up at 1 :30. 

    Ohh me eggs have come ( not that long t get here from China ;-) so that’s my afternoon sorted too.

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Had about 10 so far. The comment I’ve had is that they are not so much tattoos but holes filled with ink. 

  • Afternoon peeps 

    bad :- decoupage... the description of this word should read... A romanticised word that belies the tedious, soul destroying, back breaking, messed up to the eyes... nd back using tiny cut up pieces of paper instead of buying something already in your desired design.  As soon as the thought of doing decoupage arises it is recommended that you put the thought down and back away slowly. Banish said thought back to hell from whence it came. Never never allow the thought to give rise to actual actions of the process of decoupage ..... I have been scarred ;-) 

    The good :- finished the styrofoam eggs( see above).

    Daughter brought me a beautiful bunch of flowers ... just because ️ ( this will be rubbed in other daughters face thus ensuring the presentation of another bunch .... ;-)

    going with daughters tonight to see mr glass at cinema... looking forward 

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Well ladies....

    Good and Bad

    It is my 65th birthday today. Hurrah...not. I’m not really keen on birthdays that remind me time marches on but it  also reminds me I’m still here after a very difficult eighteen months. I’ve also had my invitation to apply for my state pension. It looks as if I may actually get it but not until May. Had a lovely lunch with the kids yesterday but .......somehow I ended up paying. How does that work?  And finally my hubby actually bought me a birthday card (Unknown for the last 45 birthdays) with a footnote which said’ don’t expect this every year’. Ah well once in a lifetime and all that.

    Sundial

  • Very artistic Sandra and no, I haven’t been mining the sarcasm vein again, the compliment is genuine!

  • Hi Sandra ...
