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

    Take care of you and yours

    Thinking of you all through the difficult times ahead.

    Hi Sandra 

    Didn't really think about it before but I've been doing social distancing for the last few years, only time I'm out is when I've an appointment or one hours shopping Wednesday morning.. Brens only out when she's an appointment. 

    I was thinking about doing it before i realised silly Billy. 

    Love to you all.... Billy xxx 

    P.s i washed my hands well before sending this. Even sprayed the keyboard. Hope it doesn't short out. Xxx

    Thanks everyone for your kind comments about Vinnie. I'm biased but he is gorgeous!!

    I did book an appointment for friday for the medical termination but they called me to say it has to be cancelled as they dont have the staff and its deemed unnecessary...erm ok...you financially support my child then. All just a mess. Jamie was supposed to get the snip in jan but changed jobs and didnt want to take time off work. Sorry if this is too much info lol.

    In other news....grace is with her dad so facetiming daily. Cant wait to beable to give her a cuddle. Trying to do my best for neighbours. Next door has COPD and lives on his own so I'm cooking for him most nights and doing all his shopping. I like it though. Makes me feel like a decent human being lol.

    Well stay safe as they say. Hope ur all still well and healthy...my virtual family xx

    Oh Dizzle that did make me chuckle!!!! My hair and eyebrows will soon be àble to plait together! The greys are intensifying so am sure I shall get the same expressions!

    It's a beautiful sunny day here in Kent and am glad I have food on my plate, loved ones to love, and a too over my head. Thankful for it all.

    Take care and stay safe.
