Big game on Monday come on Ole Ole we lost coverage of the Pais game so what happened ?

Hi Hazel Im glad you got your appointment sorted out, thanks for the Chewing gum tips Iv been trying Werthers but its a short term fix with everything Iv tried so far.

The game against PSG was a disaster, that squad isnt good enough Im afraid and needs putting right in the summer, god knows why they are giving players like Jones a contract extension? but what do I know?  

Nice that you`ve got the Spain trip to look forward to, we are just waiting  until I get my scan results which will probably be early May then we will be off to Skiathos :)

Dave

Hi Hazel 

noticed you put link on blog so thanks for that and a  couple have already been in touch

I like your new hairstyle btw and it suits you - looking all glam now and supermodel ish

So we now have Superdave and HotHazel..Great characters in this little club !

Sorry to hear of your appointment drama but glad you sorted.

And yup do you know what, I have taken some inspiration from Superdave and forced myself out this morning. Went into other village and got hair cut, then picked up medications then went shopping.
Will force myself out tomorrow again.Gave myself a slap in the face with a wet fish this morning and determined to up the ensures again ( i've been slipping, me bad) and getting out more. Even if Im tired im tired anyways. Think im short of a game of football but I do actually feel I should do more and I can honestly say it was a little wake up after reading how well Dave is doing ( so thanks Dave)
Will see how I get on but probably not helping myself by not  taking all my ensures and meals so what can I expect and just needed a little wake up call. Hopefully next week will have me on better terms

If I picked you up correctly do you still struggle with getting prescriptions from your GP?
Mine does not bat an eyelid and ive just picked up 168 bottles Ensure. As for mouthwash I get Caphasol tablets and 4 bottles of Difflam every 4 weeks so they give me a bottle a week to use.I noticed in the chemist Difflam mouthwash is about £8.60 a bottle ! but in anycase strange no chemist around you stocks as its on shelf in mine. Even so,can you not get an alternative prescribed?

At least you have some sunshine to look worward to and hope you really enjoy ( AGAIN LOL )

That’s the spirit Ian push yourself more if your body will allow it..do it and stay positive.

Dave

Hazel where do we stand with travel insurance once you get the all clear?

Dave

Hi Ian. Good lad it’s a vicious circle a little exercise will make u feel better I am niw down to a 20 min nap around lunchtime.

OHi use b u pa coz I need a 99:day cover. They don’t cover the cancer but don’t intend getting it again !  I know a couple who rung boots up and gotva 2 week she cover declared the cancer for £49 don't try n do it  online as you have e to be screened but it’s nit as bad as u think price wise. For our joint yearly policy we pay £245
