And to top it off MY HEATING IS PLAYING UP AGAIN AND WE HAVE NO HOT WATER!!! Grrrr
perhaps I need to hibernate until spring??!!! Xxx
Morning lovelies, just popping by to say have a lovely day whatever your doing,
Beth you totally did the right thing. It’s bulling and he should not be allowed to get away with it I’ll be thinking of you today xxxx
I really didn’t want to get up this morning but hey ho I’m sure it’ll be fine once I’m there.
Lots of love and hugs to you all xxxxxx
Catch up later xxxxx
Good morning Willows, wishing you all a lovely day. Beth, I hope you get your doctors appointment and hit water sorted. Helena, hope you get yours fixed too. Good luck back at work Clair xx
Hello lovelies! Hi hope you’re all asking in warmth. Beth I rang my bcn last week, as in pain after a long time with no pain. Both in site of lump and under arm. She told me it takes 6 months post rads for cells to settle or I may have a small cyst - that’s when I found out I have an appt with surgeon next month anyway to review!! Hope you’re feeling better and today d**kh**d isn’t such a big one.
Clair I hope first day back goes well and Rubycat I guess you are now in full swing getting sorted for Weds. Just passing through your area, hoping we get van back in time, otherwise I’d be pounding the streets doing a Kaiser Chiefs Ruby, Ruby, Ruby chant!
We and our relationship have survived IKEA and wardrobes sliding around ready to test us again later!
love to all - Lesley have you appointments again this week? Xxx
Oh fudge I need a group hug Please, my daughter in law’s waters broke this morning and she’s 36 weeks pregnant!! she’s under observation at the moment and everything is ok with her and the baby, they gave her an injection for the baby’s lungs and they’re hoping to keep her going until Sunday when they’ll induce her.
I feel so unless my son said there’s no point in going up to see them yet as nothing is happening but this is when I hate him living away.
Beth I hope you got to see someone about your sore booby and that work was ok xxx
Janey I’m glad the move went well xxx
I’ll check in later as I’m doing tea now lots of love to everyone xxx
That meant to say useless not unless 
xx
Big hug for you Clair, and I’m sending best wishes to your son and daughter in law as well. I’m glad to hear mum and baby are both well. And usually 36 weeks is fine these days. But goodness, very unsettling for you to be in this kind of limbo just waiting for news. So squishy hugs, and I have my fingers crossed all will be well and you’ll be a grandma very soon.
Oh dear Clair, that’s a worry, still, as son says, nothing you can do but if you were close you would feel better, being at a distance makes things worse. Big hug winging its way to you.
Janey, yes, just got back adtervhaving injection in frozen shoulder at last. If it works like last time, for 48 hours the pain will get worse, then go back to how it was, then remain the same for two weeks then after that a bit of improvement every day, fingers crossed. Asked about the right side which is not as bad but getting worse, he just shrugged that off. Still, it’s the left one that’s unbearable so I’ll see how that goes.
Hope everyone else is ok. Need to get dinner on as neither of us has eaten today. Out tomorrow for lunch with friends as it’s himselfs birthday so no cooking tomorrow, yay xx
Clair sending a huge hug and positive thoughts. It is horrible not being around the corner. Xxx
Thank you my lovelies, they’re both totally laid back and not stressing at all which is good.
Lesley I loved your picture I did giggle this morning and thought yep I’d love to retire 
Xxx
Evening all
Clair love, I hope everything goes well for your son and daughter in law and their little one that’s on his or her way. I’m sure all will be perfect and you’ll soon be able to visit and have a wonderful new born baby cwtch. They are the best!!
I actually managed to speak to one of the BCN’s in the clinic today. I was surprised that they answered the phone and that I didn’t have to leave a message. I described the pain and burning feeling and she said it sounded like classic nerve pain, which I have aggravated somehow (driving grrrr). She said it would settle down eventually but could take up to a year or even longer. ?
She said if it doesn’t improve they can prescribe a low dose antidepressant which would interfere with the nerve pain and lessen it but would probably make me feel weird. I said no to this option as there are enough side effects with the tamoxifen, let alone anything else on top. The next option was a bit mind blowing!!! She said there was a cream that they could apply, following the nerve line. The cream is made from chilli powder and the intention is that it burns the skin, thus fooling the brain in to ignoring the nerve pain!!! Omg. That’s just replacing one pain for another!!! I declined this option too and she agreed that for now it doesn’t sound severe enough to warrant that treatment.
She said everything sounded normal and not to worry and they’d check everything in April when I’m in the clinic. I also phoned the surgery today to make an appt and they can’t see me until Friday. I did explain why I wanted to be seen and there was still nothing available. BCN thought I should still see the GP just to get the scar checked out.
Work was as expected and I was given the cold shoulder all day. That’s fine. I can live with that for now. I had an email notifying me that one of the hierarchy is coming to see me tomorrow to chat through some other stuff - as he was there in last weeks meeting I don’t know what else is left to discuss. Whatever happens, I will be writing it all down for future reference!! I will have the last laugh in the end, I’m sure of it!!!
sendng all you lovely ladies lots of cwtches xxx
Evening all
tonight I have entered the world of Delly’s disappearing posts!! I posted, it was there and now it isn’t!!! Grrr
anyways…
clair - I’m sure all will go smoothly with the arrival of your new grandson or granddaughter. You’ll soon be having that extra special newborn cwtch. They are the best ones!!
I did surprisingly get hold of a BCN today. She said that the burning pain I’m getting is normal, and sounds like nerve pain. I’ve probably aggravated things somehow. Wonder what that could have been!!! Driving perhaps!!! She said it could take up to a year or more for it to settle completely ? She asked if I get any pain on the underside of my arm and I do intermittently. All linked together she said.
She said I could have a low dose antidepressant which lessens nerve pain but they come with their own side effects. I have enough of those on tamoxifen!
the next option was horrifying - some kind of chilli powder cream, which they would apply following the path of the nerves. This cream would make the skin think it was burning, and as such fools the brain into forgetting the nerve pain. BCN said that the pain would have to be severe for that option. She said its all normal and that’s the main thing, and they’ll check it all out in April when I return to clinic.
Im seeing my GP on Friday (earliest appt available) which BCN thought was a good idea so they could look at my scars. Time to get my top off again for another stranger!
sure women get paid to do that somewhere??!!! Might solve the job problem lol
Work was as expected and I was given the cold shoulder all day. I’m have a ‘visitor’ tomorrow who was in last weeks meeting. Let’s see what that’s all about then. I will be ready for him, and I will be writing it all down. ?
hope all of you lovely lot are ok out there in the ether
sending you all huge cwtches all around xxx
Hello lovely Beth, I’m glad everything sounds normal although it doesn’t help while it’s still painful and crikey chilli cream sounds interesting!!
Have you been in touch with citizens advice about work? I can’t believe your being treated so badly I hope your visitor is going to support you tomorrow. Xxx
Thank you for your cwtches hopefully I’ll be meeting my little grandson soon xxx
Sorry guys I am signing off for tonight, I am ok just feeling rather knackered so an early night for me xxx
Night Helena sleep well xx
Nite nite fluffies.
sweet dreams and hope the bed bugs don’t bite. ??
Morning everyone
Have a good day whatever your doing, thinking of you Beth, Helena and Janey have a good day at work and Ruby thinking of you and sending you much love in this tough week xxxxxx catch up later lv Clair xxx
Morning glories. Yawny hugs from me this morning. Weekend has wiped me out but good to see daughter settled. Beth chilli cream sounds horrible! Hope you can get to speak with today’s visitor and see what’s gone on. I’m going to forget someone if I namecheck but hoping for good Tuesdays for all. Pancakes tonight (Lesley a pancake birthday cake for himself?!) hopefully the thinspiration I need for rest of the year! Xxx
Morning all!
Busy day for me today, in fact busy week.
Beth, thinking of you today, hope your visitor today is constructive, and not more of the same. But tell him where he gets off either way, just ask him how he’d feel if it was his penis?
Clair, I was trying to remember when your scan is, some time towards the end of this week? I hope you’re not feeling too stressed out about it. Though now you have the imminent new baby to think of as well, a lot on your plate at the moment. I hope the tummy pain is better now you’ve got something for it.
Janey, I’m not surprised you’re feeling the effects of the weekend. But yes, it’s lovely to see the children doing well and feeling good about themselves.
Rubycat, you have a really stressful time at the moment, and I hope the family are being strong for each other. Thinking of you.
Lesley, enjoy the birthday lunch, I hope the shoulder isn’t getting too much worse before it gets better. But fingers crossed this is going to make a real difference once it kicks in, you deserve to get an improvement after having to put up with it for so long.
Other Fluffies, catch up with you all later, but hope you all have a good day.
Hi everyone
Not long back in from work and been doing a fashion parade for colin of the new blouse and jacket that I bought.
Well that was not a good idea going to bed early last night. I slept all the way through til 5.20am then was wide awake and sitting downstairs, I decided in the end to go into work early to make up the hour I had to have yesterday for that stupid electrician coming in, I wont be doing that again normal time to bed in future for me
Hope everyone is well. Janey make sure you get plenty of rest.
Clair - how is the mum to be doing and how are you, is your scan this week?
Beth - how did today go with your visitor?
Ruby, lily, charys and all the other lovely ladies on here sending you a hug
Helena xx
