Dew Drop Inn Too

Hey People

Is there a barman tonight or is Westie in charge of the black beards.

Hope you had a lovely camping trip, did you get the great weather?

You must be really pleased to get that hickman line out.

I finally got to see the lymphoedema nurse today and thankfully there is no sign of it in my arm, just the breast. She has ordered me a pad thing to put into a sports bra and that, along with the massage, should hopefully do the trick. If not I’ve got to go back and be measured for an armour plated bra, OH will love that!!

Hey AJ!

No - missed the weather entirely. We had overcast & very, very windy. What with the groundsheet lifting, the airbed vibrating coz of that, it was like being at sea - and very, very noisy! However, had a great time!

Thank goodness you don’t have lymphoedema - it’s worrying isn’t it? Armour plated bras? Is that not what Madonna wears?

Blackbeard?

I’ll try a black beard but if I fall off my stool later you’ll have to pick me up.

Sounds like a classic camping experience!!

I think OH would be up for a Madonna bra, this thing I was being shown today looked like a sports bra joined to a giant girdle thing with extra wide straps, very attractive, NOT!!

ooooh - I think I know the manufacturer of that kind of bra. I know when I hit 36E I got the most AWFUL auld wifey type bra - bought it, got home and cried!

pours perfect blackbeard for AJ

pours peanuts into a bowl as nibbles

Hey Magsi - sorry I missed you - do you really trust Tesco with the online shop?

First time I did it it was a disaster - the computers went down in my local tesco and instead of diverting orders to a different store, or calling the customers to say their shopping wouldn’t be arriving they just ABANDONED me to my fate (which was OH having a hypo coz his tea didn’t arrive - thanks Tesco!)

I’ve never tried on-line food shopping, I think I am too fussy with stuff. Amount of fat on ham or bacon, colour of bananas etc. I don’t even trust OH to get it right so I just have to go and do it myself

Evening all,
I’ll have something wet please, still can’t taste much, solpadol actually tastes good at the mo LOL.

Got our new fireplace today, looks good can’t wait till the rest comes now too.

AJ - glad there isn’t any lymphodaema in the arm.

Suse - tesco online is a dream come true at times, I shop on it all the time, I spend less too usually.

Nina- sorry your day was pants, ours was lovely here but cold, autumn is defo here I’ve noticed the change in the leaves now too.

Ahh I shall just sit here on Em’s swing a chill me thinks

pours Solpadol & coke for Leeloo!

You getting your livingroom done up?

Yeah we are getting the house done up. We got a wee bit of money and are using it properly instead of just dwindling it away.
Ordered new sofas from DFS, the fireplace was fitted today, have the wallpaper bought , just need the paint and new flooring

good oh - it’s nice updating these things…I wish!

well we haven’t done anything proper in over 6 years, since we moved in other than a slap of paint so really hoping it will make me feel more settled

more your own place? My place is rented and I’m loathe to spend a fortune on somebody else’s house…but have managed to do some stuff - rescue old curtains from mum’s place etc

We have been wanting to sort out the hall for months and do the lounge but OH is never here, builders take FOREVER to come up with quotes so still nothing has happened.

Son had a minor car accident a couple of weeks ago and that is turning into an epic with insurance co’s. he’s going back to uni at the weekend so I’ll be left to sort that out I suppose.

Yuck AJ, That’s pants.

Mind you I rang my onc secretary today and they have lost my critical illness form again, only made the claim about 3 months ago.

Hi all
just left tescos and back in here.
Spent £73 plus £4 delivery but always manage to pick up a voucher code off another site so then got £7 off the total - can’t be bad and saved petrol!!
Do you use ‘voucher codes’ Leeloo cos if not I can always PM you the site?
night all
Mx

Yeah Magsi please do, never get that lucky

Hi I’ll do it now and I know that a couple of them work.
When you are on the tesco’s site and gone through to check out then click on use codes at the same time open the voucher codes site.
Then you can just copy and paste the codes across until you find one that works.
They are usually codes like £7 off £70 £3.50 off £35 etc.
If you haven’t spent enough the tesco site will store it until next time unless it expires all quite clever.
Hope this makes sense will now paste the link in a PM. if anyone else wants the link i will pop on here tomorrow and can do another PM.

Thanks Mags

SO what have I missed around here while in the dregs of chemo misery

awww Lisa - sorry you’ve been in that place - how many still to go?

I got the stitches out from my hickman line removal today…of course, me being me, it was so well fixed that he had to make another incision to get it out - so TWO scars…don’t care - the line was a lifesaver

I only have 1 more to go, so 16 days and counting LOL, although the side effects will take a wee bit longer.
My onc is off at the mo so still not sure about rads etc, it is so pants not knowing, although I am looking forward to not having to go to the hospital at all.
It’s annoying that the district nurse has to come out everyday to give me the neutropena injections now, it restricts my running LOL.

How are you getting on now honey that the chemo is over? When do you start rads? That’s pants about the line stitches, I’m still having problems giving blood etc but since there’s only 1 to go no point giving into a line now.
