Hello fluffies,
Mum to be is home, all is well and they’re going back to be induced on Sunday unless something else happens in the mean time. Thank you for thinking of me lovelies I’m still uncomfortable but the painkillers are making it easier. I was talking to one of the secretary’s at work today about being off last Friday and she asked if I wanted to go back on another phased return, I didn’t think I could do that. I’ve got my scan Friday morning first thing so I’ll see what happens after I get results hope they don’t take to long! I just want to get it over with.
Beth I really hope you’ve had a Good day today xxxx
Helena, I’ve forgotten what a good sleep is
I was awake at 2.30 then again at 4.30. I can’t get up though or I’ll wake every one else up.
Hope everyone is doing ok,
Ann I love your pics it makes my day,
Marydan how are you doing?
Dizzy your a woman on a mission :-D.
I hope the weather stays good so you can still get out and about in the garden and up to your allotment you’ll have to post some pics. Right I’m off to get sorted it’s my youngest sons birthday tomorrow and I need to wrap his presents. Catch up later love and hugs xxxx
Good evening Willows,
Thats great news about mum to be Clair, something less for you to worry about and something to look forward to, the soon to be birth of your grandson. Hope you feel better soon.
Know what you mean Helena, not a good idea to go to bed early no matter how weary you feel, makes for less sleep in the long run. I had an afternoon nap today as we went out for himselfs birthday lunch today and I ate so much, even had a pudding, I was so full up when we got home and tired I went to bed and slept for an hour and a half, I’ll suffer for that tonight, especially as shoulder arm is really painful now after the injection. However, I expected it and if like last time it will ease up in a day or so.
Hope everyone else’s day went ok, I haven’t read today’s posts yet, will make a cuppa and catch up xx
Evening fluffies
before I update on today, has anyone seen this article in the paper today?
dailymail.co.uk/health/article-4243420/amp/The-thousands-denied-43p-breast-cancer-pill.html
Its a tablet I’ve not heard of, but it is meant for post menopausal women. Worth a read
today went as I thought it might. My visitor initially commented he hadn’t noticed anything was wrong in last weeks meeting, but did in the end did admit that challenging someone about work that hadn’t been done while they were undergoing treatment for cancer was unacceptable behaviour - especially when there are other people that could have and should have picked up the mantle. I didn’t get an apology but that was being rather optimistic!!!
rest of my day was full of meetings and appointments so I’m pooped tonight. Still no hot water either so can’t even have a bath to chill out. ? Ooooooooh but I have just remembered that there’s a bottle of Baileys in the fridge so I may have a large mug of that! It’s the only alcohol that doesn’t bring me out in flushes over night. It’s like Christmas everyday knowing there’s baileys in the fridge!! Lol
clair - I’m so glad that your daughter in law is home for a few days. Hope she’s resting up before Sunday. That little one will soon be here!! I’ll be thinking about you on Friday when you have your scan. I will send over my big girl pants for the day. Big cwtch for you lovely.
lesley I hope you get relief from that shoulder soon. You are really going through it love and you have my utmost admiration for coping with that pain on a daily basis. On top of those migraines too.
Dizzy - that is a brilliant analogy to use!! I am going to store that one in the old memory banks for the up coming weeks!! Love it.
Janey, save some pancakes for me!!! Not made them for a couple of years now. Might take some inspiration from you! But not tonight as I don’t think I have the energy left to toss any!!
Helena - it’s so hard to know what to do for the best about sleep. I don’t sleep well anymore and long for the days when I would go to bed, fall asleep and not know anything more until it was time to get up. My fitbit last night said I was awake three times, restless 34 times!! And awake for 40 minutes. No wonder I’m knackered tonight. I could easily go to bed now but I know I’d sleep solidly until midnight, but the rest of the night would be a mare so there’s no point. Sleep is for wimps!! (I am a wimp lol). I find my bones ache at night so I’m constantly turning over but I still can’t sleep on my operated side. We’ve ordered a new bed to see if that is more comfy for me so we shall see.
Is that everyone today? Hope I’ve not missed anyone.
Sending hugs and and cwtches to you all

My pic for today - saw this on FB and it made me giggle. Love the look on the cats face!!
Tonight I’ve done another post, it was there for a while, I could see it had been viewed and now it’s gone!!
Whats happening!! ?
I read it earlier then noticed it was gone? Very strange!!
Its a shame you didn’t get an apology bit at least they did acknowledge it.
Bugger about your heating going again but the baileys sounds like a plan.
Xxxx
Love the pic x
Beth I wonder if your post dissappeared because you had a link on your post xx
Oh Janey, that made me laugh about the Christmas pudding, reminded me of a joke I saw on FB - “My kids keep on about my dementia, they’ll be sorry on Christmas morning when they can’t find their pancakes on the egg hunt” or something like that. Poor you, you really must have been tired if you had to have a nap at work bless you.
Beth, disappearing posts, that’s spooky! I wonder what’s going on there? Hope things aren’t too bad at work and your poor booby is settling down now.
Off to bed soon, reading the latest Kate Morton and can’t wait to get back to it. You know it’s a good book when you can’t put it down, but at the same time don’t want to finish it xx
Morning glories and hello again Delly! Glad to hear you’ve got lots of hot medical dates through and enjoying going out. Restaurant sounds fab.
My day today starts with 3 hour refresher training for computer system - yawn! If you’re off 6 months you have to retrain - and it hasn’t even changed! I’m going to treat today as Ash Wednesday as planned and stop with certain food groups!
Anyway Rubycat big big love and hugs especially to you lovely one. I hope you are able to celebrate a life today.
Love to all of you as always xxx
“annoying thread member…” moi…?!
love to all

Hoping I am not speaking too soon, but hopefully the intermittent access problems we have been having with the internet have finally been sorted out by this lovely young man on Virgin Media, he worked hard over the space of two hours on the phone and instructing me what to do etc., and so far so good. This has resulted in my temperament being vastly improved, my confidence in knowing it was not something i was doing and them sorting out our equipment.
We also found out that we have been paying £7 a month too much, although they would not say for how long this has been going on for but it least it is a reduction in something so all good.
I am going to try and catch up on all the other posts and you will hopefully be hearing from me a lot more, oh no they groan.
Love to you all
Helena xxxx
Grrrr… Im so cross, just finished Knitting lovely chunky waistcoat and started sewing it together, stitched the wrong bits together, can’t unpick it as can’t see what’s sewing and what’s Knitting, Im an idiot, it’s official.
Glad youve got internet sorted Helena and now got £7 a month extra to spend on spliffs when bowling.
Hope you get a new car sorted soon Delly. Yes, think if I go to a local walk I might meet someone I can get a lift with for walks that meet further out if I contribute to the pétrol costs. I’ll look into the local ones soon, just seem to have been busy recently, lots of appointments, thankfully they’re coming to an end now.
My sisters friend in Ireland was due to have a Masectomy today but it was cancelled as no beds available, poor girl.
Hope everyone else had had a good day. Xx
Oh well, at least it made you laugh Helena, I’d laugh if i managed to sort it out but I can’t. Himself struggled to kerp a straight face when I showed him, then I took pity on him and gave him permission to laugh.
Just going to watch The Real Marigold Hotel xx
Lesley, I think I’d be crying if it were me. But I can’t knit or sew to save my life, so I’m always hugely impressed by people who can.
Helena, glad you’ve got your internet sorted, it’s been very quiet here lately!
Delly, I hope you can get your appointments straightened out, it can be very confusing if you have a mix of NHS and private.
Well I’m shattered tonight, I went to my mother’s near Honiton for a coffee this morning and then to a friend in Exmouth for lunch. We had a potter along the seafront, and then it was time to drive back again. So it’s been nearly four hours driving today, which is more than I’m used to. So I’m recuperating with a glass of wine…
Dizzy I was in Honiton and Exmouth today too!!
The Real Marigold Hotel recorded and I’m indulging in Back in Time for Dinner while OH at badminton.
A tiring day but caught up with lovely colleagues and half day tomorrow woohoo!
Lesley I would have wept at the knitting.
Night night willows one and all xx
Evening, Lesley I feel for you I’ve done that with a knitted hot water bottle I made and I was very fed up 
I’m totally and utterly exhausted with all the worry about mum and baby, Fridays.scan and blooming work I just don’t know if I can do this.
I still feel such an outsider still at work, some people are winding me up and I just don’t have the tolerance with all the backstabbing that goes on. Maybe I should think of moving on to somewhere or even something new.
Or maybe I just need some proper sleep.
Saying that I’ve had a lovely evening with my family celebrating my youngest sons birthday. Bring on the weekend.
Beth I’ve been thinking of you today xx
Much love and hugs to everyone xxxxx
<Empty imported post>
Oh Helena that made me smile this morning just proves how shattered I am at the moment I don’t even know what I’m writing
I hope everyone has a good day today catch up later xxxxx
Just popping by to let you know I’ve managed to drop a day at work for awhile
It’s such a relief and I’ll get a long weekend. Hope everyone is doing ok xxxx
Clair, that’s great news, and very well timed with the baby imminent! I have my fingers crossed for you for the scan tomorrow, I really hope everything will be okay.
Delly, good luck at the doctor’s, and I hope you find the support group useful tonight. There’s nothing that compares to meeting other people who understand because they’ve been there too.
Janey, I meant to ask you about your fatigue gym, a few days ago ago you said there’s been a fire. I’m really slow on the uptake, sorry! But does that mean you can’t go any more?
Lesley, hope the shoulder is starting to improve.
Helena, we always say Thursday is the new Friday, because my OH only works Tuesday to Thursday. So no Sunday night blues either. But it definitely has made a huge difference to him, he was talking about retiring completely, but now he’s thinking he’ll carry on at three days for the next few years.
Rubycat, hope this week hasn’t been too fraught, I’ve been thinking of you.
And hugs to everyone on this blowy day, I have been out walking for an hour and a half and definitely have no cobwebs left, though the coffee and toasted teacake afterwards were very welcome. And now I have to finish my book before my book club tomorrow morning, thankfully it’s a Joanna Trollope, so very readable.
Catch everyone later
