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

  • Not too long to wait which is good x 

    yup alchohol too apparently. I’m beginning to think you don’t live longer by cutting everything out.... it just feels it ;)

  • Lol... I looked after daughters dog while they were away... loved having her but was happy to hand her back. She too is a .... lap dog I guess. She’s an old lady now but looks like a puppy. 

    Been a couple of weeks since she went back home.... still finding dog hairs on everything  :D

    eeee you have both been through the mill but it’s all been worth it now you are out the other side.

    you 2 do everything you want and enjoy every minute. 

    What a fabulous way to celebrate getting another year older. Love it :) x

  • I’m so sorry to read this lass.... hopefully everyone can take comfort in knowing he is no longer suffering and is at peace :-(

    You take as much time as you have to, to address your own needs now.

    Hugs lass tight hugs X ️X

  • Morning ladies, i was going to write earlier 7 o'clock but thought being weekend you probably lay in, any ideas how to clean my carpet it's weird dog hair sticks right in it vacuum does not touch it even power brush, or carpet cleaner (professional) only thing i found to partly clean is a wire brush but it only takes so much off, i don't want to buy new carpet just for the sake of dog hair but I'm stumped it's carpet or the dog and the dogs winning, hope your having a good day, no rain here YET,.

  • Morning peeps

    Bad :- none yay

    good :- just about to head out for the day ... good times :)

    have as good a day as u can peeps x

  • Morning Billy

    I seemed to collect the dog hairs from everywhere on just my clothes ;)

    tbh when I had a dog it was the reason I got laminate flooring down nd got a couple of big rugs. On the rugs I used to hoover first then put on me rubber gloves nd used my hands to roll the stuck bits up then hoover again. ( I hoovered daily nd used the rubber glove trick wkly). 

    Didn’t get em all up mind:| 

    a carpet... guess would work but oh my the work.,,. Hope someone comes along with s better idea than me.

    Then will wish I’d known it sooner :D x

  • Hi Billy...

    Think it's time for new carpet pet .. or flooring ... and then it's much easier to manage ...

  • Hi Sandra we never had this problem with the other two dogs it's like a magnet pulling them down, probably have to wire brush again, only trying to do good clean up for when assessment lady comes to see Mrs, trouble is there's always something else, nearly tidy now though hope you're all good,

  • Hi again liliana don't worry if this string seems strange ladies talk about anything and everything it helps with the mind get you thinking of other things you should try it,. It does help,. Billy 

  • Well Billy I’d be leaving it the way it is ....they need to see your struggle. I sooo get where you are coming from tho ... heck I got the ooomph to tidy my garage when I knew the guy was coming to fit my new smart meters lol. 

    Wonder if your other dog was long haired nd this one is short. Colour of dog makes a difference too. My dog was 95% black nd hardly noticed those ... daughters dog is mostly white .... I see those hairs on everything nd everywhere lol . X
