Oh my Chris..... so sad reading your post. I am so so sorry for your loss. I place my virtual brow against yours and weep with you. 

Oh Dizzel lass your roller coaster ride of life never slows down does it. So relieved things have settled down ... you take care of yourself ️ Happy bday wor little Vinnie... loving your profile picture ️ Keep us posted please .

Beach me lovely... I had my ( delayed) mammogram 2 nd September... my results came today... nothing of concern... yay. It is scary ... every time. 
sitting in the waiting room ( on own cos not allowed anyone with you)... looking around can see the newbies with that fear you can almost touch, the repeats.. more relaxed but with a touch of tension. The faux nonchalance when your name is called. The forced smile and greeting with strained small talk. The stomach drop when you hear the post delivered and the hoped for relief when a thin envelope is spotted and opened. How you feel is normal... we all feel it lass. Not long now everything crossed for you me lovely x

So hows wor Billy and his lovely ladies doing? Hopefully the meds are doing more than just giving you hot flushes bless. Take care me lad ️X

Evening peeps 

bad:- such heart sinking news to catch up on.
Heard today my friend has died. She had lung cancer 20 yrs ago then 6 mths ago got the devastating news that it was back. Here we are... 6 mths later and she has died. The school yard has quite without her quirky sense of humour filling the time till our granddaughters come out. RIP my friend. 
good:- 3 yrs clear since diagnosis... I am fortunate and know it.

hope everyone's day has been as good as it can be x

Had a few email notifications and thought I'd pop on.....Chris, I couldn't believe what I was reading. I'm so so sorry for your loss . Such a young age to have this illness let alone it take you away from the world. Poor poor girl but she sounded like a trouper who fought back with bravery and dignity and I'm sure she's made you all proud. My thoughts are with you and the rest of your family. Massive virtual hugs xxxxx

Sorry to hear your news too Sandra. This horrible illness never give up does it!! :angry:
 

Billy....you can fight this. Just keep being you :-)

Well growth scan didn't show great news. Her legs and arms were out of range on the low end so showing that there was no or little growth since my last scan. So I was given an amnio to rule out downs, dwarfism and other chromosome disorders. Thankfully they all came back clear and my most recent scan showed she'd put on weight and her legs had grown a little bit her arms are still a little short. I can cope with that! Got another scan in just under 2 weeks then will see if I need an early induction. I hope not. Wanna keep her cooking for as long as possible. Exactly 2 months to go yesterday which should fly by. Hopefully next scan shows more improvement. 
 

Vinnie had a great birthday tea and a day out at soft play now they're finally open and his first pub lunch!

Well I'm off to bed soon....as I try to go once Vinnie is down and obviously making the most of sleep while I still can! 
 

Hope the rest of everyone's weekend is as good as it can be. Virtual hugs to my virtual family. Love to you all xx

Hi Dizzle...

What a beautiful pic ... at least it's still one way we can see you little vinny... and got everything crossed for your little lass ... they do most their growing in the last two months... so every week counts ... 

Thank you so much for your thoughts ... 

So so proud of Jess .. she was totally amazing ... the saddest part was not being allowed to give her a hug ... because of stem cell transplant and covid ... so "what's ap" was our communication... and l can look back at her wonderful messages .. 

The last time I saw her was the morning her mum was taking her to have her check up, where we thought she'd get the all clear .. sadly it wasn't to be, it was back with a vengeance and she never came back from the hospital ... her mum, my daughter in law,  was the most amazing loving mum, spending nearly every day up at the London hospital and nights back home to the two little ones .. making sure they all felt so so loved ...  I'm so very proud of her, and my heart breaks even more as I think the loss of a child is the worse pain ever ... 

Well Dizzle, so sorry for such a long reply, but think it's helped writting it down ... please let us know how you go ... can't wait to see your new little lady ... big vertual hug to you all .. and a spiecial one to our vinny .... take care and keep well .... Chrissie  

She is strong like her mother...here's to next scan showing growth again. Great news on the test results too. We used to say they are a worry from the moment they are born... who knew those were  the good old days!

look after yourself lass x
