Hi peeps
No sign of the Big Grey yet. We strongly suspect that the big sap has got himself shut in an shed/caller/hut as he is not the weeist bit adventurist. But by Christ, I have been sick with worry. I’m designing some leaflets as I type this to put through letter boxes locally. When he comes home he’s grounded forever.
4 inches of snow this am!!! Mostly gone now. Never care if i see snow again. Ever.
Sharon hellish hot curry for mum to be. Tell baby to get a move on. I have 2 cousins due in April (Wee Kez haas just turned 20 …) and I cannie WAIT. Wee Kez is in Blackpool - and Marie has had 8 miscarriages - we’re Irish and she is the youngest of 14 … so the excitment is mounting. My sister has been knitting non stop. It really is the best thing. I love being an auntie Sharon. You must be sooooooooooooo excited.
Sounds like our Fiona is fighting fit. Boy oh boy tho, what a schedule, work, shop, FECing hospital …
Ok chappies. off to print off the flyers for the big old cat. I hope he isn’t too cold. My wee Auntie Betty was in floods this morning with worry. Of all animals, he is the one you would have least concern about as he is never more than a handclap away.
See you all on Sat - I was supposed to be in Blackpool today. Just realised that’s me lost my train fare!

Hi Girls
Hows everyone, I’ve just caught up on the last weeks worth of posts and have realised just how much I’ve missed everyone !!! After being stuck infront of a PC at work I think I’ve been avoiding it in the evenings at home.
Work is going fine, it feels like I’ve never been away!. I’m still really tired but aren’t sure if it’s post treatment related or just down to being a mum of 3 and staying up too late!. I was through at the hospital seeing the oncologist this afternoon as my underarm and back have been really painful, I spoke to the breast nurse for reassurance that it was just due to muscle strain – after maybe overdoing the lengths on the pool, going back to work, starting to Iron and loads more, but she insisted on me getting checked out by the oncologist, which was all a bit stressful, but everything seemed fine – thank god.
I’m really looking forward to Saturday – I’ll be great to see everyone and catch up. As we all seem to be coming it’ll probably be best if we book somewhere. What do you think?
Carol – Ozzy is a great name for your pup and it’s great the boys are so excited about it. Did I decline you on FB ? If I did, it really was a mistake, I went to approve you and you’d disappeared from my list.
Sharon – How are you feeling? Has your chest infection started to clear up? Any news about the baby? You must be so excited.
Maggie – your photo is fantastic, you look so glam. I thought it was lovely that your friend from South-end came to stay. Did you have a lovely time.
Sheila – Great news about your results - I’m really pleased for you.
Fiona – You sound like you’re doing great in the shop.
Annie – Has your cat returned? What a same you missed your trip to Blackpool
Yvonne – well down for finishing your rads – you’ve done great.
Looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday.
Lots of Hugs

Hi girls
Looking forward to Sat, anyone fancy Mexican? or just heading along to Merchant City/Tron Gate area, lots places to eat and drink there
Still no sign of baby, must be too comfy in there.
I’m feeling good, pre-chemo tomorrow see if they’ve got me down for Chemo on Friday
I too have sore back and under arms, I went back on Gabapantin
See you all Sat xxxx
I’ll eat anything!! Just spoke to Pauline, she’s coming on Saturday too…her computer on the blink, so she’s out of touch with everything…
See you all Sat…
Hugs

Good morning girls
Another sleepless night lassies. Crazy, am knackered and cannie sleep! I am thinking of asking my doc for a short course of steroids to give me a kick start. I am so tired of being feeble. The Big Grey still not make an appearance alas and I worry he’s lost and cold. Just watched ‘Mo’ starring Julie Walters. Superb and I’ll admit to a wee greet at the end. Bloody cancer!!!
Shiela text me, she is in hospital with blood clots in her face, neck and arm. I will take a wee trip uo to see her on Friday. Bloody Tax!!! How much more are we expected to endure guys. Even the notion of blood clots terrify me, they can be time bombs. My daddy was in hospital for 3 weeks while they dissolved a 3" thrombosis in his leg. We had just come back from burying his mum in Ireland and we thought we were going to lose him … Shiela seems fine though. They are really laying on the chemo with her. Damn scary side effects. God, Tax is a toughie.
So looking forward to getting together in our wee survivors group. I am praying my old kitten is back then and Sharon will be an auntie. I am so excited about my wee Kerry now that the initial shock has worn off.I got loads of baby clothes in the Debenhams sale - 70% off!
I don’t know when (or even if) I will be able to return to work. Mr M (the breast surgeon) thinks I’ll be off for a year. I’ll have to get a new job, but I have been offered a couple. But is anyone else’ confidence shattered? If I am going to be off a while, I was considering getting a rescue greyhound. They are lovely gentle dogs and are great with cats and kids.
So a prayer for Shiela, Maggie and our Sharon and for all of us. Trying to catch a bit of shut eye … I’ll be a zombie tomorrow/
Hugs

Cannie believe it! The big cat is back. I think he might have broken his leg, limping badly but he’s had some John West tuna. He’s awfy quiet (he ever talks in his sleep, and walks round the house mumbling usually) Think he is in a state of shock, but he’ll be tickity boo.
Vet first thing. Giddy with relief. Poor guy had had some kind of ordeal though. He is grounded for the rest of his life!!
Will let you know how Shiela is asap. Poor lass.
Annie xxx
Gosh Annie, the difference an hour makes, so pleased your cat is back, he must have been away on a big adventure, hope his wee leg is not broken, I would ground him forever!!!
If you see Sheila, please tell her im asking for her, poor soul, she has had a horrible time recently
Sharon, any baby yet? there is loads of places to eat at merchant city
Helen, I have shut facebook down as I was getting hassle from an ex, ive been married 21 years this year!!! love the new pic
eventually got my appointment in for my neck lump, next Wednesday at 2.00, hoping and praying its nothing.
Fiona, Maggie, Yvonne, Pauline and everyone else, looking forward to seeing you on Saturday
love
Carol xxxx
Thanks Carol
So relieved, but the sweet old sap was in shock and pain, got him warmed and fed and he was purring like a machine. He’s upstairs just now chillin’ out of the way of his wee brother and sister. They never give him peace. Taking him to the vet’s soon as sis arrives. Will take pic if h get a stookie!
Poor Shiela, she sounds chipper but God! SHe has been in the wars! Does anyone know her surname? Plan to pop in tomorrow2.
Spoke to Shiela - her surname is Leitch and she is at Ross Hall, Room 216. She sounds great wbut was pretty unwell.
Oh there’s the car. take care, love lots
Annie xxx
Hi Annie,
Glad to hear the moggie is back, bet you are so relieved…
Please give Sheila my love when you see her… she’s having a fair share of trials lately…Is that Rosshall hospital she’s in? that’s 2 minutes from where I live…I’m working tomorrow or else I’d meet you and visit her…I’ll send her a card…
I’m bushed after today in the shop…plan to get my feet up on the sofa…
See you all Saturday…
Fiona xxxx
Hi All
Annie – I’m so pleased your cat is home, how did you get on at the vets? Give Sheila a big hug from me, what a time she’s having.
Carol – Sorry to hear you were having hassle with an ex – when I saw you’d disappeared from my friends request I had a wee panic in case I’d offended you by declining you by mistake!
Sharon – I hope your chemo goes OK tomorrow.
Fiona – Take it easy. Although if you’re anything like me, you’ll hate that saying and will just ignore it!!
See you all Saturday
Helenxx
Mexican sounds great, my train arrives in central at 12 35 see you all then
Hi All
Shiela is at Ross Hall and I have no idea where it is, but Shiela says it’s hellish far away - too far to get to by public transport. She sounds great, and on the mend.
Sharon, fingers crossed that you are up for chemo. Is Taxol more tolerable than Tax?
Fiona, how was your scan?
We didn’t take Whisper to the vet’s yesterday as he had eaten, so they couldn’t aneathestise him and we wanted him to relax a bit… Poor guy cannot put weight on it. He is happy as anything now (even used the tray this morning) so we will take his this pm. Needs groomed anyway as he has some mats (I ususlly groom him but haven’t been able with the stupid fingers …)
Mexican sounds great too, haven’t had it for ages. We are spoiled for choice in Glasgow for sure.
Need help getting the mog to Cathkin, my vet is very good, but the most expensive in the area and this is likely to be pricy. My sis’s vet is excellent and about half the price of mine (Carol priced around when they were getting her wee kitten’s boosters and neutering, otherwise I would have assumed that all vet’s charge about the same) I would pay anything they asked, but we have got to be careful with cash just now.
Does anyone else see signs of spring? When it’s not blizzards?
See you all tomorrow.

Enjoy the beginning of the weekend
Just back from the Beatson…last zap of the week. Annie…so glad your cat turned up, what a relief ! Im just on my way out with the dog and thought I would say ‘hello’…looking forward to tomorrow…mexican sounds lovely…Im going to try either the bus or the train…but should be there in time. Otherwise I will let Fiona know on her moby…xxxxxx
Chemo went well again, I’m made of strong stuff!!
Looking forward to tomorrow, doesn’t have to be Mexican it was just suggestion.
We will see tomorrow what everyone fancies, sometimes my stomach doesn’t know what it wants until the day.
Carol - can’t believe an ex giving you hassle now after 21 years!! What an A** eh!!
Annie - the vets in Cathkin is same as vets in Village in EK, it’s called Taylor’s, I know cause my pal work there, maybe easier for you to get to. My sis’s dog is registered there.
Be good if Sheila was in Hairmyres then I could just pop up
See you all tomorrow xxx
See you all Saturday - is it Central Station 12:30 still?
