Hi,
well I watched the Christmas totp hits on telly tonight and have last Christmas I gave you my heart, all I want for Christmas is you, etc going through my head now. I love most of the Christmas records. My eldest came round from work for dinner to tell us about wedding venues and was dancing all round the room to them. I think it would be great to be married near Christmas myself but she yearns for warmth. She is a chilly morsel and says she is not getting married in capes and wraps, in her case it would be double thermals!! She has 3 jumpers on in a centrally heated house and still gets a blanket out and wears gloves at work using her computer! I am the opposite, warming up nicely with my hormone tablets and have a slight tan from rads now, not sore or itchy so hope will hold out till the end. Yes I do have to go on Christmas Eve, grrrr and mon, tues and wed of next week but then it is all done. What a strange feeling that is. I try to cheer about it but it is half hearted as feel more than a bit scared about venturing back to normality. Weird, as that is all I have been thinking about since being off. It might take me a while to shove BC to a dark corner of my brain. I spoke to my boss, who was dx 2 months ahead of me and she had been tearful as approaching her 1st anniversay and going for checks. I thought that means mine is coming soon too. Yikes. Well the cough is a bit worse and had fluttering this evening in my throat very briefly. Hope I am not twinning with you other flutterers! The lady I travel along this journey with was sent in to see a doc today but I was told I don’t need to see anyone, despite telling 3 nurses about the cough and coughing away while in the room. So I will assume it is an ok sounding cough and not mention it to them again. I have been falling asleep today rather a lot too.
We had to drop in for another fresch cream scone and tea before facing Morrisons on the way back. It was total mania with no parking spaces left and no trolleys. Surprisingly the shelves were being constantly refilled so full up and all the checkouts moving fast. So not sure where all the people in cars were, just wandering around aimlessly I presume. So that is all the food and sorry Julia I was one of those with the big trolleys!!!LOL (I am now humming special kind of magic, one of my Queen favourites) I get this nesting urge when the shops are going to close but in our case the family of locusts will descend and devour everything in sight plus more!
Julia glad to hear you are waking the neighbours and downhill to summer sounds good. will have to talk my Victor into booking a holiday very soon as motivation to go back to work. it sounds like a grand meal you are planning, hope you don’t have to clear up after it!!! Hubby 2 wouldn’t hear of it!! Rads are a doddle as long as you keep icing your cake (slapping aqueous cream on your cup cake/pancake. I started the cream a few days before starting rads which seems to have helped).
Nicky, he is in serious bother but says he sent someone else most times who lived that way. No sign of Christmas in the rads unit and I am at a hospital in another town so nurses don’t know me. I have had a few chat ups from elderly gents though so always find someone to pass the time with. I feel about 22 in there apart from the other BC ladies, such an old place. The receptionist could freeze you with one look and ignores all my jolly good mornings with a scowl. Where do they find these frosty characters? I am the one with the sore back too and I still have 4 sacks to do. I am always up till late on Christmas eve wrapping them. Hubby used to sit and eat and drink the 4 lots of Santa food left out, when the kids were little and was not much help at all by the end! Cold turkey and ham and pickles, yum, but ooh dear not sure the tummy will quite make pickles. Hope yours holds up for both days and some vino too. We are on champagne apparently as hubby keeps being given bottles and says it will go off!!! Worst excuse I have heard yet but we have had some very expensive ones so has been a real treat to test them all and they come in some beautiful boxes at this time of year. Have a great Christmas with your husband and lovely girls x.
Bevy, you seem to have taken my place for having ‘cures’ , they never worked for me either. Have a fab holiday, where are you going? I think we will be starting work about the same time, hope it goes well for you. I don’t know how tired I will get really so hard to tell them when I will be back exactly and I need to have back to work interviews before then. Hope the arm improves but if you have cording, etc the physio should help it. Good luck.
Lorraine, my Victor’s favourite saying is ‘whats mine is yours and whats yours is yours’, meaning that I spend everything!! We have always just pooled everything and taken whatever we want. I am not sure my salary would ever catch him up so in my favour!!! Sorry about the pins and needles and will be hoping that settles down. Could it also be due to doing more after taking it easier on chemo? It sounds like there could be many reasons so I will be crossing everything that it is one of the good reasons for you. Are things any more settled at home, I would like to be able to think of you having some nice peaceful days over the Christmas break to recharge your batteries?
Angie and Lisa hope you have lots planned for the next week and enjoy all the yummy food around at this time. I tmight be a diet thread if we all make up for lost time!!!
Joanne and Kirsty if you come back on, big hugs and it would be lovely to hear you are ok and getting on with life now.
Christmas hugs and hope this is a happy time for you all
Christmas Lily x
Hi - Merry Christmas to you all.
We will be so busy tomorrow that I won’t get to post - as I’m sure all of you will be.
I hope you get lovely gifts from Santa - after all we’ve all been such good girls this year and deserve it!
I’ve been working my socks off today doing canape-prep with my youngest who is doing them for tomorrow at my parents. Thank goodness we’ve done a lot today as we’d never get round to eating if we did it all tomorrow.
Bev - I’m so jealous, a holiday - what on earth is one of those? I’m sure you will relax and enjoy it even with the bad tasting stuff still going on.
Lily - Expensive champagne - sounds like a tough job but somebody has to do it! I’ll still be restricting myself and seeing how the palpitations go (or don’t with any luck) but will be having a glass of fizz just for the hell of it!
Lorraine - glad you get a break, at least it’s like a tester to see if you liked the job before you got stuck in in January. Rest up. I know what you mean about the aches, my hip troubles me sometimes especially when it’s damp (the weather, not my hip!) which isn’t surprising as the damage is like osteoporosis.
Have a great Christmas to everyone else, remember not to peek when Santa comes down the chimney
Nicky xx
Happy Christmas everyone
Love
Lily x x
hi everyone
hope youve had a wonderful christmas day, enjoy the rest o f the hols.
take care x
Heya Ladies… Merry Christmas.
Got given my Tamoxifen prescription on Monday, needless to say haven’t started it yet.
Family has just left to go on to my Aunts so all is quiet here again now, it’s been a really good fun few days despite the face that I’m wiped from Radio still, my Mum had surgery in a very delicate area a week ago and my Nan’s struggling to get used to a pretty tough drug regime for her heart problems so there were 3 generations of Campbell women sitting on the sofa going… oooh aaah… Chocolate oh alright then, especially my Nan who’s diabetic and claims that if it’s savory it couldn’t possibly have sugar in it. I protested that tea cakes aren’t savory but she’s 80, lived a good life and I can totally understand her refusal to be good at Christmas 
Hope you’re all having a wonderful boxing day… is it called that because we end up with so many boxes or is it some reference to family punch ups
Lots of love
Angie
hiya all, sorry ive been missing, hope you all had a lovely christmas and having a nice time off. Ive survivied the drinking nights out, shoppers with deamon trollies and now curled up on sofa. Oh and the rat has been put out of site, I had shakes as Ive only got bowt inch of hair but no bald patches so donned my make up on christmas day and boxing day and walked into a very busy pub in town minus the rat, my head had quite a few rubs!! pic soon to go on facebook like that - can have looked toooo bad or felt to bad, I actually had a few drinks with my two good friends brother on xmas night and the cancer and 1 boob thing doesnt bother him sooooo you never know!
Lily, hope the smell of burning gone - its the way you tell them!
Angie - good luck wiht the house, sounds lovely

Hi everyone,
well managed to stop stuffing my face (boy, everything is tasting extra good these days!!) long enough to pop on and say that I hope you all had a happy and enjoyable Christmas. I cooked a 3 course meal for 10 both days and really enjoyed it. They then all disappeared off to their partner’s families so I got to snooze through the late afternoon and evening, which worked well. My little Grandson is yet to be persuaded to remove my pressie, a Scooby Doo dressing up costume, so that was a big hit. He looks so cut in it and wiggles like crazy so the tail wags like our dog!!! I got a bit carried away with pressies and the whole lounge was knee high in paper by the time they had unwrapped their sacks and thrown paper everywhere. I don’t know about you, but I had really lovely moments when I just sat and looked at everyone and felt blessed that I was there with them. Managed not to boo just grinned inanely. Just being there with them all, sheer bliss.
Angie you get that pill down you quick smart, it takes 3 weeks worth before they start protecting you. Which brand did you get? I have taken 25 novaldex so far and no flushes at all, still keeping my fingers crossed though. I am definitely warmer in the mornings when I wake up but just like normal, being a bit hot. No other symptoms as yet. Hope all the family start to pick up very soon. When did the tiredness start as I feel fien so far, I have done 12 and 3 to do next week?
Lisa, the burning has just about gone, although when I microwave something it does still come back a bit and give us another scare!! Congrats on shelving ratty at last. You must be so pleased and do you like the pixie look? I get really cold ears with such short hair. I wonder how long it takes to get to chin length again, let alone long? I need to get mine dyed again as badger bits are making appearances everywhere. Lisa very glad to hear that your confidence is growing about meeting someone. Don’t sell yourself short, you have tons and tons to offer in personality and kindness and why wouldn’t someone fall for you??? You prob have a lot more but I can only go on what I know of you on here!! There’s still lots of living out there for you to enjoy. Lots of luck x.
Nicky, Lorraine, Bev, Julia - best wishes and hope you are still having too much fun to post
Lily x x
Hi everyone
Hope you all had a lovely few days, have eaten all you want and drunk all you want as well.
I am soooo pleased that I’ve been able to enjoy Christmas with NO palpitations and a settled tummy - really didn’t think that would happen a week or so ago. Enjoyed several glasses of champagne on Chr Day plus some wine with the meal, homemade mulled wine on Boxing Day (daughter’s/Jamie’s recipe) and some wine with the cold turkey and cheeses - yum yum! Also no real kick back from the pickled onions either - which I thought would be the ultimate test! Have also been able to get out and go for a few walks which has been great.
Christmas Day was really nice as well and got loads of lovely smellies and pampering bits from OH which I will enjoy over the next few weeks (and months I think!)
Hi Lisa and Lily - so glad you’ve had good Christmases. I’m heading for D Day as well and expect to ditch wiggie at the beginning of the New Year. May not go quite so far as to g without it on NY Day as my friends may just wonder quite how much we all had to drink the night before. However I do want to stop wearing it before I go back to work on the 6th as I can stand it any more! Plus it slips a bit now as I’ve got quite thick hair underneath. Need to dye it again as I put on a semi permanent colour a week or so ago just to judge what I want to look like, and to cover the grey. I saw Annie Lennox on the American MTV awards looking very gam with a short crop like mine (as she’s always had) and it being really blond, so there’s a thought!
Anyway, better go, will be back to wish everyone a happy New Year in a few days - good luck and good riddance to it I say!
Have fun everyone
Nicky xx
So glad you’re all enjoying the festivities,
Congrats on the removal of rattie Lisa,
Lily, nope haven’t filled the prescription yet, after a year I don’t see what difference another 7 days makes and didn’t want complications during the xmas/new year.
BTW hair grows at roughly 1.25 cm per month so it’ll be over a year before it reaches my shoulders but not sure I want to grow it long now, I do look better with short hair. And Tommy had an accident with the clippers last night and is grade 1 so I have the long hair again.
More later gotta stomp the dog up the hill. I’m still off my food so didn’t pig out this year but that’s OK as no one stressed about me as I warned them 
Yea Nicky… go lennox, I dare ya.
Hi Girlies,
I too had a lovely couple of days and the horrible taste in my mouth is getting better it seems to respond well to champagne!!! or fizzy water but I prefer the bubbly. Lily I was interested to hear you do not have any hot flushes with the novaldex as I am having them big time with the tamoxifen. It doesn’t matter that much during the day but at night drives me mad as I am either cold with teeth chattering or throwing the covers off as I am too hot. Consequently I wake up about 10 times a night which is really horrible. So if it hasn’t calmed down by the time I come back from my hols (horray only a couple of days to go) I shall speak to the onc. on my next appointment at the end of Jan with a view to changing. The only problem with going away somewhere warm is I have put on so much weight my clothes don’t fit me aghh! still I shall just have to make do with what I can get into and just squeeze myself toothpaste tube style into them such an attractive look.
Great to hear you are all near to dumping the wiggies! I go without mine now around the house and with friends but still put it on when I go out to the shops as I look like a skinhead and could frighten people as I do myself everytime I look in the mirror. Still it is GROWING and not falling out.
Wishing you all the very best 2009 as you all deserve it big time. I shall be so glad to see the back of this year my daughter who is working in France has just been dismissed by her boss as he has discovered she is dyslexic and doesn’t think she can now do the job! honestly people just don’t understand. I was very upset for her as it doesn’t exactly boost the self esteem. Can you imagine if that happended here she could do him for discrimmination.
I too Lily feel lucky to be with my family and friends again and feeling almost normal and may that feeling continue for all of us for years.
love to you all and please post on here with a message as to where you have all gone if you decide to start a new thread (I just want to brag about my holiday!)
Bev xxxx
i might add that my hair growth is minimum but just couldnt do the wig no longer, wnet staright to the toilet in the pub then veered to the bar and nearly bolted out of the door, I hate stares but it was when my brother come in and told me to sod of looked fine and should be proud that I thought sod it! it aint long enough to even spike, i tried a bit of gel and its got a little moheccian tuft that wont sit down now - the one longer hair I had was grey so its been pulled - Ive never had long hair anyhow, always had it short and wacky colours etc. so hoping soon might be able to dye - is there a time limit? Who would have thought the old H crack would be back so soon - yipppeee!!!
Hit down to earth a bit for soon reason, think Xmas keeps me motivated and loved xmas day watching niece screech at all her pressies and didnt even blub!!! Got a really nervous feeling and scared and no idea why, maybe its that I know appointments coming up to discuss next stage. Oh and have a sore shoulder at the top when I move as if its bruised, hoping its just a bump of lymphodema getting worse rather than anything else, as read a post somewhere on here about it could b linked to liver mets and my liver has had a hammering the last few days, but you know me get scared at everything.
How’s everyone on the tablets, Im on Arimidex, few sweats but nothing like I expected, however, Lily I read that it takes 3 wks for protection, wonder if that’s when side effects kick in too as even though I have a cold my back and legs are aching like mad, feel sick and headaches - the joys!
Hopefully everyone continues to have a nice time - off out to walk the dog and plan my New Years Eve party - usually hate the day but decided this year I shouldraise a glass to the past year being behind me but then also dont want to tempt fate.
have a good one!
Lily - looks like scooby was a good buy
Nicky - glad the booze isnt having the effects
Love to everyone else

Lias…I like your brother. kind of kick up the **** we need sometime don’t you think?
I was really wobbly over christmas too, it was like something inside was terrified that this would be the last one, so many of the ladies on this forum didn’t make it to see the year out that it’s hard to push what cancer really means to the back of the mind right now isn’t it. And we’re all dealing with so many side effects still, I still need to doze during the day, can’t imagine a time when I’ll be as fit as I was but too soon to say isn’t it.
We’re going to just stay in the village for new years as moving a month later and got a work retreat in the midst of that, real life is back and it’s taking no hostages lol.
Apparently you shouldn’t dye your hair for 6 months but there’s some herbal ones that people have had joy with, certainly wouldn’t use any bleach or peroxide for a while, but I think henna would suit you… ever been a redhead
Hi,
Lisa I dyed my hair during chemo with no problems. I used the Daniel Field organic range, which they sell in Sainsbury for about £6. There was a range of about 6 - 8 colours but no really wacky colours. I used rich copper and it looked very henna red on me. You can also get dyes in health shops, I think the 6 month wait might be for peroxide and ammonia based dyes. A lot of the hormone treatments seem to cause joint pains so it might be that. I am on tamoxifen but i think yours is an aromatase inhibitor. I have to go 2 years without periods before allowed to switch. I guess your op jumped you straight through to it. If you look on the hormone section there is a lot on your drug, if you WANT to read it. I know what a worrier you are, so may be best to keep on walking past some of these. You have to bear in mind that having a problem is the reason why many people post, so you are not always hearing from the majority who might be chugging along fine right now. Bet you still haven’t asked for a new chair to support your back!!! it might be causing some of the problems? The 3 week bit is for tamoxifen, no idea if it is the same for others like yours. Our area time the chemo, then 3 weeks later rads and hormones starting at the same time. Their take on this is that the hormones are up and working before the protection of rads stop, as most get 15 here. However, don’t panic as many oncs disagree and follow other routines.
Nicky brilliant news that your problems calmed down so you were able to over indulge and enjoy the festive food and drink. Did they put you on something new or did it just resolve itself when you stopped the tablets? pickled onions and smelling goood - what more could a girl ask for this year!!! LOL. Let me know if you chance the peroxide as very tempted to have flicks of colour on the edges of my boy’s hair cut. It is growing and I thought I might be heading for a mushroom head!! Wonder how wide it gets before it changes route and grows down, could be a tricky changeover time. Go throw that wig away!!!
Angie - short hair for a year - that’s pants - and cold ears for a long time! I’m sure your onc has his own tried and tested plan. If there was just one right way we would all be doing the same. Have you seen the big man yet? I seem to remember you had not earlier in the year. I know what you mean about sad thoughts, I am not sure how to get rid of them. I was merrily telling people I was finished on 31 Dec and then found next appointment was 9 Jan. That will be my first visit back to where they started it all so I expect that will be a bit disruptive again. As I stayed to the end of the trial I think I get a lot of checks so better get used to it. They will track me now until I pop off, which I hope will be from old age!!! Wooo just hit another positive thought! Good luck with your next bits too.
Bev - glad the mouth is at last improving, about time too. Did you know novaldex is just an expensive brand of tamoxifen? it is the cheap rubbish some firms put in the coating that causes more flushes and pains, which seems madness to me. You need to check on your pack which brand you have as chemists change them for cheap deals and changing brands causes problems for some people. It seems like CT are the worst ones but if you take your prescription to Boots you always get their own tablets which are supposed to be better for some people. I would recommend the nolvaldex, waiting to see what my GP thinks of them. Although cancer medicine is going to be free from April, so I hope it includes the hormones so we can all have the expensive ones. You can’t keep waking up so many times each night. You blag away about the holiday, where are you going? See you on the other thread (after treatmenbt is over) in the new and hopefully improved year. Sorry to hear about your daughter, just not fair. Hi Julia, how are you?
Big crimbo hugs as we hurtle towards 2009 and hoping it will be kind to all of us
Lily x x
Hi all
I decided to push all thoughts of this being my last Christmas to the back of my head so you all make sure you do as well! I had a nice chat with one of my daughter’s friends mum yesterday and she was telling me about her mum who had bone mets but eventually died aged 76 of a heart problem! It certainly helped me put things in perspective.
Lisa - I’ll be saying sod it to the wig as well, maybe us wiggies should start a wigless thread! My hairdresser has always said my hair grows like grass and it seems to be so I’m very lucky. However it isn’t going (growing?) downwards, as Lily says, so will have to go the spiky route first. Am definitely not going to have it as long as it was pre chemo. I had loads of compliments on my short cut before I started chemo so I’ll aim to go to that length and stay there for a while. Will have to decide on the blond bit (you stop nagging me Angie!) as I’d have to have me roots done too often but will be going highlighted at some point.
Also I’m on Arimidex as well Lisa, I was going to ask how you were getting on with flushes etc. It also takes about 3 weeks to kick in but I’ve been on mine for at least 4 weeks and definitely heaps better than when I had Tamoxifen the 1st time around. A few very minot heating up episodes but nothing like the flushes I used to get.
Lily - everything, including palp’s settled down of their own accord as if by magic! I think the heart tablets are now well and truly in my system so they have definitely helped which is great as I didn’t think they had initially. I’m pleased to say I don’t get any significant side effects either from them or the A I’s. A bit achey at times but need to start back on the evening primrose oil or star flower oil which I’ve not been taking for a while. Also may take glucosamine (sp?) if I get too achey in my joints. Hope your rads went OK today, 2 more to go and then DONE. Try not to get too weepy as it really is the end of a very long haul for you with the constant hospital visits so I think you could be. Just make sure you drown your sorrows in a bucket of champagne on NYE!
Bev - lucky you (again!) and you make sure you let us know what a holiday is like - we’ve all forgotten.
Julia, Lorraine and everyone else hope you’re keeping well and enjoying the festive season.
Nicky xx
Lily… It’s not true about boots only giving out their own brand… they just tried to give me the CP brand but I said NO I want the boots own brand… to which they said there isn’t one. I said I’ll take my prescription to a different branch who knows what I’m talking about… head pharmacist comes down and says well there’s Nolvadex D, that’s our own brand of tamoxifen so I asked if I could have that one on with my prescription to which they said yes so in the end I came out with Nolvadex D and am now set up to always get the same thing I think. I did have to stand my ground and scare off a few people who were huffing about not being able to pay for their bloddy bubble bath while I was waiting. I just gave them the look and reminded them that they could join the non pharmacy queue if they liked and asked if they would mind coughing in a different direction as my immune system will still be a bit weak. God when did I get so feisty
Mum’s given me a book, the natural alternatives to HRT so am going to give that a read and start the tablets in about a week I think. I’m torn when to as I’m going south for a weekend soon and worried that they’ll impair my performance and these work retreats are hard going.
Anyway just thought I’d fill you in on the tablets in case anyone else has that confusion at boots.
I’ll catch up on the thread later in the week, gotta get on with some work now.
TTFN
Angie
Hi,
sorry Angie, it was my research nurse who told me that so i did not try it out myself. I was prescribed nolvaldex by my onc. Anyway glad you did not accept the cheapo ones and held out for the better ones. I hope they do not give you too many problems. I was not aware of any change at all after starting them, I just feel warmer in the mornings now but then my temp should be coming back up anyway, after finishing chemo. You were lucky to get them free, as others on line have to pay the extra above the cost of normal tamoxifen tablets. I can tell no-one was going to argue with you today! You haven’t got your armour on without them, so why not start them, you might not have any reaction.
Nicky - brill to hear stories like that as on here we do tend to hear the bad bits. I think people are too supersticious to come on and say they are fine but there must be tens of thousands of them,if not more. It sometimes gives a lopsided view. I am so pleased for you that everything has settled and hope it stays that way. I take your point about the last day. I saw a lady finish recently and no-one was taking much notice of her. She had to go up to a nurse and say thanks and bye, so that they said oh is it your last day. So I am expecting about as much cheer as I got at finishing chemo - ie none.
I am starting to worry about work now and trying to remember all the door codes (gone forever) lesson time (no idea), names of heads of year (all changed) and they have had a huge extension and moved all the rooms and offices (so likely to get lost too!). I have had my own brand new room since Sep but never seen it. Can’t wait to see my tutor group again and they will probably make me want to cry if they are too nice. Not sure about questions about my hair though.
I had rads number 13 today and had chatty nurses, how nice to be spoken to and not treated like a piece of meat. So 650 miles of driving down and 100 left to go. I may never visit that town again, by choice!!
Wrap up warm
Lily x
hiya all, soz for mizz post yesterday, guess just get sad at being on own sometimes and would love my hubby to be back giving me a hug and saying things would be okay, on other hand I would have hated for him to deal with all this crap after his mam! anyhow, Lily you are right no new chair yet, dont need to ask for one, might just order, guess what they actually have be incharge of a few budgets, scary or what!!! Angie - once hair long enough will be dying any colour I can find, and yes, Ive been a few, black, red, violet, purple, ginger oh and blond (but never remind my mam of this) she didnt speak to me for 2 days as was my brothers christening as said I should be ashmaed to walk in church with black and blond hair, shaved one side, longer the other, sounds wierd but the best bit of the day was when my nana (a very honest, brutal person) got owta the car with my mam and said, wow love your hair Lisa!! hee hee!!
Well off to bed soon as feeling really tired these days and arm feeling aching and heavy - the other day I stayed in bed till 3pm couldnt believe it, but today up at 8 for docs for pills but shattered now - think Nicky arrimidex hitting in, sweats but more, pulsing face and neck and very hot but boy the aches are bad every now and again but small price to pay.
Up early tomorrow to tidy my tip of a house ready for NYE party, last time I celebrated NYE was 2000 when me and hubbie had a fun party but its my new life now and determined to try and move forward - maybe we should start our new thread on New Years Day - maybe the new us after chemo?!? Cant believe what we have all been through this year and how much support each and everyone of you have given me, blubbing writing it but would have drove myself and others bonkers if couldnt sound of to you all - although might have to sulk with you bevy if you gloat about your holiday!!!
Lots of Love
Lisa x
p.s. Angie is the world ending again on Wednesday - had about 5 trollie collisions in Morrisons today - aarrrgghh!

Lisa
How wierd Morrisons was calm here today… unlike boots after my “No I want Nolvadex” tantrum. God you should have seen it, Never been so stubborn. Think it suits me actually
I can see you with mad hair actually. think I might go red head in a few months too actually, never dared die my precious blonde hair before… why not now eh. I can’t believe we’ve all made it this far either. None of us know how long we’ve got and what our lives hold, but we all know we’re not immortal so I’m so hell bent that little things will not matter now and it seems to be working really quite well. A few months ago we were late on the rent and someone popped around to get a cheque… I told them that when the next cheque came in they’d get it and to go away now or they wouldn’t… never would have dared do that before… it works BTW (by the way)
wow it’s late… later ladies.
lots of love
Angie
hi everyone
so glad your all feeling ok, well by the sounds of the posts anyway. and fiesty angie. (go for it girl!) im also feeling a little jiggered, i bent down to put me knickers on, christmas eve and my back went big time. id been bragging at my new job, that i never get a bad back (serves me right!) i think it may be because im not used to bending to pick kids up and getting up and down all the time. but i hope i can manage to keep the job going, cos i enjoy it. but im like an old women at the moment i ache all over, and have an itchy big toe thats driving me mad! and probably lots more to tell you, but its boring thinking about our ailments. so i will tell you about the manaquine.
was shopping with mother in law, and she was looking for a size 12 jumper, we searched the rails with no joy. and she turns to me and says"great theres one on this manaquine, so i decide to try and remove it, no staff are available of course at this time of year. so i start to undress this manaquine, everyone is gawping, the stupid arms dont bend, and then of course the arm drops off, my mother in law is in stitches. i thought undressing a baby was hard, but this was worse, anyway we got the jumper! and walkied away leaving the manaquine naked, but to be honest i wouldnt mind being left naked if i looked like that.!
ive spent up around the sales, had a great time, only dissapointment was having to get a size 18, but ive decided i might as well be a tidy fatty.
on the hair front, i also have ditched rat, and am in trouble for pinching all hubbys gel, i find it works if you get an extra strong hold. i tried dying mine with a botanic dye from boots, but it never touched it. aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. so i will have to go around like a porkupine for longer.
lily 2000
