Well what an absolute farce totally unbelievable.

Helena
fo the first time in a while I am actually angry at the outcome of that game. An absolute farce and Barnes should be ashamed of himself to be hoodwinked by the French in that way. Grrrr ???
hopefully the England/Ireland game will be more enjoyable. And Swansea will beat Bournemouth in the football. All will be well in the world again then lol
just had a funny five minutes with Mac which was very funny. He’s shattered now …only so many times he can shake a teddy before it all gets too much!!!
My mission this evening is to try and find a long length navy pair of trousers. Tried debenhams and that was no good so tonight I’m parking myself infront of the M&S website!!! Nothing worse than having trousers at half mast.
hope you’ve had a good day and the weather has been kind

Good evening Willows,
Hope you’ve all had a lovely Saturday, rugby apart that is. Enjoyed my afternoon tea and still feeling over full… I did behave myself though somehow I managed to get chocolate sauce all down the front of my top. Just hope it comes out in the wash. After all the bra talk the other day I decided to try wearing an underwired one for the first time sine my op. The side seam didn’t rub my scsr at all, however halfway through tea i did start to feel uncomfortable and had to undo it, thankfully it stayed in place.
Clair, I hope you’re feel brighter today xx
Morning wonderful willows, I’ve finally caught up with you all.
Delly it’s fab to have you back and that things are going well with you xxxxx
Lesley I know exactly how you feel about your impending mammogram when my smear test came through as everything is so tender in that area I was worried about how painful it would be but it was ok. The whole thing has really shaken me up even though the nurse tried to reassure me that she thinks it’s all hormone link I’m convinced it’s not. The trouble is until they remove it and test it I won’t know so it looks like being a bit of a wait. I should be used to waiting by now.
Sorry to of moaned on.
Janey I’m really proud of you and your fab award 
you do a fantastic job and I hold my hat up to you xxxx
I hope Lily is ok we haven’t heard from her in ages.
Beth how’s your trouser hunting going? I know next used to do a longer leg trouser. Xxxx
I’m fed up with feeling grumpy so I’m putting my smile and my reinforced big girl pants on and getting on with it.
I’ve managed to extend my 4 day week at work I’ve just got to stop being so over sensitive I’m blaming the tablets. Only 2 more weeks and it’s end of term hols and then we’ll be off to see our beautiful grandson.
Have a lovely Sunday what ever your doing much love and hugs to everyone Clair xxxx
Morning Wonderwomen, tho no doubt by the time I’ve finished this with my plodding typing, it’ll be well afternoon. (How long have I been talking about doing a typing course?!!)
Corrrr-Claire - Thank you darlin’, for your welcome and x’s. I’m not surprised you’re “all shook up” with your current dellycat problems (:smileysad: - I think anyone would be. Must be extremely worrying/disconcerting for you. And difficult to stay positive all the time with this hanging over you, so you have a good moan anytime - we’ll all understand, won’t we girlies? What part of the country is your baby grandson then?
Juicy-Janey - hope you enjoyed your well deserved awards day and are now enjoying your Mum’s birthday weekend in the East. Sorry to hear about your other lost dear friend. Bad enough losing our parents, but it’s the natural order of nature, not our friends or siblings of a similar age. Would imagine it was upsetting but hopefully of some comfort at the same time, being somewhere that you knew she loved and having an immediate connection.
Bethy-Boo - Are you another Amazonian woman, like Dizzy and Janey?? Have you tried the “Long Tall Sally” site for longer kecks? Is your underarm clear infection wise now? so I don’t have to dodge anymore!!
LesleyLush - Think your friends need to provide a bib for you for your girlie teas and dinners in future. Am sure some Vanish will shift the choccy stain. So was it good at Raymonds place?? I did hear after reports, of one of his guests allowing herself to “hang loose” in the “frontal female appendage department” - those were his precise words. He doesn’t allow that sort of behaviour and doesn’t want the said lady back again unless she promises not to do it again, as one of his waiters very nearly spilt a jug of chocolate sauce down her frontage due to the shock of seeing two booosoms being released. So you’ll have to go in disguise next time. I think you purposely spilt that sauce on your front, just to bring attention to your uh-hums!!
Darlin-Dizzy - huh, fibs. We had a Southerly wind up here yesterday. Had to put up with pongy smell of cow and horse poo ALL day - even with the blinkin windows closed !! Composted indeed :smileyfrustrated: Btw, I wasn’t being derogatory in mentioning age and “pertness” the other night, That chat with you about my next looming procedure set me thinking. I do need to see or just speak to the surgeon for a deeper chat before the appointed date. Can’t see how he can possibly deal with stitching the tissue matrix in place, without fully opening up my existing mast scar, and may be the reason for drains required. If that’s the case, I need to know beforehand, preferring to opt for just the implants without matrix. The skin is only 1mm thick at most from being stretched to the required size by the expanders, so extremely dellycat (I do know how to spell it really), and I’m not so confident about it’s healing powers now, compared to any other area. It’d be the least impact to it, quicker healing, minimal infection risks, plus my original mast onco surgeon did such wonderfully neat scars, it’d be a shame to disturb the whole scar. I’d also get the whole thing over and done with quicker. Thanks to you and our discussion, it made me consider all that, so I’ll phone this week, and see if I can have a quick discussion with him, even if it’s just over the phone.
Lilliums - hope you are okay and doing well.
Am just off to get some fresh air and exercise, walking up the canal to go see my new friends on their canal boat, been invited up for a coffee today. Can’t wash my face with this eye for a few weeks, and am missing a splash of water to wake me up properly, fresh air will no doubt do that. Dry but cloudy up here today.
Hope everyone else not mentioned are all good too.
Love yers

Hello fluffies
Sorry but I’ve already posted this somewhere else but have any of you ladies especially Delly kept in touch with Tit4tat …she moved from the primary threads to secondary threads and we welcomed her but we have not heard from her since January …she was a regular poster and I know going through a hard time with Taxol …and side effects .
Getting worried about her.
Hugs xx
Delly
You and tat4tit used to “chat” under coffee lounge …funny things thread that’s why I thought u might still be in touch …
That’s the trouble we are all anonymous really so can’t search places like Facebook for updates …
I just hope she is ok and just taking a rest from bc website …
Thanks for looking ladies xxxx
Evening lovelies, I’m well and truly shattered and I haven’t really done that much. We went shopping to buy the daughter a new camera this morning then came home made a roast and a huge batch of potato and watercress soup… Yummy.
I had an interesting conversation with my sister tonight Apparently our younger estranged sister ( long story) has just had an op to remove pre cancerous cells in her cervix. As you can imagine I’m now even more worried and wondering if I could get my doctor to arrange for a full body scan?
Advice please am I over reacting and just wait for my gyne appointment and discuss it with them or do.I ring my gp tomorrow. I suppose I could talk to the Bc nurses? oh I don’t.know… Xx
Delly thank you for xxx my little one lives just outside of Cardiff so it’s only a few hours away. Xxxx
Just popped in to say good evening. Carolyn, that really made me laugh, thank you for that. Think we’re all daft on here.
Clair, ring, either the gynae people, your gp or your BCN, anyone, even if it’s just to talk about it. Youve got enough crap going on without extra worrying added to it. xx
I will call my gp tomorrow Lesley and go from there xxx
Clair, I don’t think you need to worry about your sister. Cervical cancer is caused by a virus, which is why girls get a vaccination for it now. I would see if you can talk to your GP or someone about it. But when they were doing my sister’s genetic counselling and asking about gyne cancers in the family, they said my cousin’s cervical cancer wasn’t relevant because it’s a virus.
But you need to get this sorted, it’s horrible having to wait like this.
Hello Helena
Congratulations on your anniversary …that’s quite a milestone to get to …??
Hello Delly
Dont u ever sleep ? Looking at the time you were posting …so you are probably in bo bo land right now catching up.
Hello everyone
Hope u are like me and enjoying your early morning coffee sat up bed watching breakfast tv …this is the life but I can justify it as I’m retired ! Done enough office hours and pen pushing !!
Xxxx
Well good morning you lovely lot - Carolyn there are reports in the Express and Echo today of a living tapestry spotted in the Exeter area …
I hope tat4tit soon comes back into sight and Lily too.
A lovely lovely weekend in Sussex celebrating late friend’s and my Mum’s birthday. It was a rushed few days trying to squeeze everyone in, but I feel like I’ve got a bit more of me back, even if I was nearly blown over (shows how strong the wind was!) when we visited my lovely friend’s memorial bench at the top of the Downs. Sue, all the lambs were hiding (well unless Rubycat really did find them delicious!) but we had a lovely lunch at the Ram in Firle.
Lesley you’re a woman after my own heart dropping stuff on clothes. I didn’t dare eat anything at Westminster, as I’m renowned for it! Glad you had a lovely time. Congratulations Helena on your anniversary and also to you Beth for your momentous decision, although it must have been with huge sadness. When you find trousers, please let me know. I’m too short for Long Tall Sally but too tall for M&S!
Clair, hugs to you lovely one. What a horrible time for you left “on hold”. I had the same message from genetics, as Dizzy had. They discounted several of us having had dodgy cells from the checklist. Horrible worry though and Charys you must still be on hold re the missing mammogram? I realised I relaxed over the weekend, as nowhere near our letterbox - the first place I went to when home, but still no news on my results. Delly I am virtually watching you and very impressed with the list your working through - I just need to apply my own rules to me now!
Ann how did you manage the jet lag and Marydan how is work going. One more week of 4 days for me then full time ? I’m going to wait until June to shave hours a bit, as the bank holidays and leave booked will keep me on shorter weeks some of the time.
I hope you aren’t having such blustery days where you all are. Love and hugs xxx
Morning lovelies, it’s a wet and windy one here. I managed to get a drs appointment tomorrow so we can just chat through things and see what she says.
Delly your a very wise lovely lady thank you for your words it means a lot sending you a huge hug xxxxxx
Congratulations on your anniversary Helena I love the fact it’s your first date one, we do that to.
Thank you all for your support hugs and love xxxxx
I’ve been doing the ironing watching jam and Jerusalem my daughter brought me the box set a few weeks ago. I’m keeping positive as there’s no point in worrying love and hugs Clair xxxx
Have a fab day whatever your doing xxx
Hi fluffies
I am doing a sneaky one from work, missing you all and will speak laters xx
It is horrible here today, pouring down, thank goodness I was able to get my lawn cut yesterday, the lovely man who does our neighbours did ours as well.

Damn!! to finish my sentence, before Carolyn found me out. And Fluffi-li-scious-lies!!?? What! Good word 'ey.
Sob, sob state last night and sob, sob this morn. Can someone pleeeease tell me when it stops paining so much in this bloomin pounding, sometimes nuisance, thing in my chest?? !! Just when I think I’m in a better place, a song, a piece of music, or looking at/hearing/reading “family” - blam. I’m gone, sobby bloomin sob.
No, I’ve checked and checked myself, is nothing to do with feeling sorry for myself. It’s such an unfathomable PAIN in your heart and LOSS in your whole SELF. I’ll be okay, I WILL be okay. Am just a sensitive creature. It’s good for me to get it down. Not necessarily publicly, but I have little to hide. Well okay - nothing. But am just needing to speak about what I’m feeling, and this isn’t the place to do it because it has little to do with BC, BUT is so right the place to do this, cos you have become family to me.
Nobody prepares us for all this sorrow and pain we have to endure when we lose, not just someone - your Dad, Mum, bruv. In your cases husbands, wives, children. They are ALL like your “life forces”. They all actually “initiate” and “maintain” the rest of your/our life really, don’t they. That’s a very profound, HUGE, MASSIVE, SO TRUE statement. Don’t you think?? or maybe not??
Mmmmm, it’s exactly these kind of emotions that got me into my recent “trouble”, it’s because I FEEL that much more, and “dangerously” express it… But am very much more “Reactive”. And another Mmmmm - In either of those two, Is that a good thing, or bad?? Very much depends on WHERE you DO it, and who you’re talking or typing to. Yep, lesson learned there.
Thankfully, I’ve nothing much going on today, feeling a bit of an emotional wreckage, but DO need to “sort” myself for two med appts tomorrow - Physio for hands in the morn, and either gastro or orthopaedic (hands) in the afternoon. Had text, but no details of what it IS sent, so shall get there early to visit both depts to see which one. Don’t want to waste valuable NHS time do I - No, I’m being serious.
Don’t worry, I’ll be okay. I’ve had these “pain” blips before. It’s the fact that they’re not getting any easier, don’t know if they will. Think developing distractions, at the time or ANYtime, is perhaps the answer. My prescribed MUSIC therapy to others hasn’t worked, BUT thats praps because it’s hasn’t been the right kind / sort. Get some bopping round the kitchen table, sing at the top of your voice stuff on Delly. Doh, sorry for sobby, sobby stuff. Thanks for your ears/eyes tho’.
Love to everyone xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Delly sending you massive hugs and tons of love <3. We’re always here to listen my lovely xxxxxxxxxxxx
Wow …ladies what a fast pace this thread moves !
First of all Janey …u made me laugh thought to advertise the completed tapestry with free oap…house trainned ( do dribble a bit if I sneeze though) wearing leopard print jumper and primari ugg boots !!
Delly
Sorry u are having such a sad time but the ladies here are always so kind to cheer you up.
Toody pip xxx
Oh on the subject of mammograme results they are there as a constant reminder what we have been through …they always cause me “squeaky bum time” …if they come quickly …it’s panic sonething is wrong if they take longer than its even worst with stalking the poor postman everyday !!
Xxx
Afternoon lovelies
started off a really wet and windy day here but glorious blue skies now. Lovely.
I’ve now spoken to all those that I need to about leaving work and am feeling (but sadly not looking) 10 stone lighter. I’m not telling the staff yet - I shall save that pleasure till another day once I’ve had my final date sorted. I am so looking forward to having the rest I should have had months ago, going out for a walk every day and just finding me again. Roll on!!!
delly darling, I am so sorry that you are feeling sad today. These days can just appear out of nowhere and maybe (I am no expert) the process of understanding that you’ll have days like this is part of accepting that tomorrow is another day - and it could be one where the bright and breezy Delly is back, basking in all her gloriousness ( is there such a word?? But you get my drift). Sending you a huge cwtch xx
clair I am soooo glad you can speak to your GP tomorrow. I hope they can give you some reassurance or pull some strings and get you seen quickly. Big cwtch for yout too lovely. Xx
helena!!! Happy anniversary my friend!! It was our 15th last week and we laughed and laughed as I got the date wrong 3 times in one week. My excuse is I’ve had a lot on my mind lol. xx
janey - was it you who got tangled in the tapestry? It’s the kind of thing I would do!! Lol
i need to read back everyone else’s posts the catch up!
bye for now xxx
