Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

Good to see so many new woodlanders finding shelter!
I am also popping in from the strange land of W.O.R.K. having had a slight crisis of confidence today. Very very tired and was struggling to cope with the pressure this afternoon, but feeling a little better now after dinner with my colleague.
But as usual when I pop in here I find that I am not alone…thank heavens for the shelter of the woods! I am going to kidnap the youcancopewiththis fairy to get me through tomorrow, but promise to return her in the evening for whoever is next in need.
much love to everyone

Hello everyone, not been in the woods for a few months, feeling a bit lost, I had to go for post treatment check up with oncologist and need to have bone scan and xray as have some pains that wont go away in hands feet and my left elbow! got first mamo on 6th Dec, anniversary of when i found my lump last year, plus same as project woman, i have been to the land of W.O.R.K, oh what a shock, also been getting all these hot flushes but advised not early menopause but chemo related but chemo finished end of June!!! xxxx Hope u fellow woodlanders all ok, Choccie are you there??? xx

Trying to catch up, been away few months, but who is Soddit? xxx

Silverstar-
Soddit is a Labradoodle has been around for many months( see this and previous pages for explanation ) GIJaneH had him helping everybody in the summer. Supertrooper also has Buggerit a big Black dog but not Churchillian. We look after them and they help us …simple. Buggerit slobbers a lot but is superb at fishing for Neuts Soddit is soft and warm…very cosy to snuggle up next to when he is here. He keeps wandering off into the Land of NED to see his old friends. Which is fine by me because he is good at rounding up Laughinthefaceofadversity and positivethinking. His success with the sleep fairy is not good but she is a perverse little thing.
Project woman
do have youcancopewiththis fairy for tomorrow the Land of W.O.R.K. Is a strange place to many…
and oh so exhausting I should think. In someways I look ahead to it with joy and other days with apprehention.
Linstar
there are always empty tents and people to help…the shed is ok but the hard standing sounds permanent… We can’t have you stagnating here… Did you say lamb chops…love them!!!
Tax ha just bitten unexpectedly o no sleep tonight. Never mind tomorrow a quick peep towards the Rads Rushes might be useful.
Be of good faith

Hey! Welcome back to some old friends! Not seen/heard Choccie for ages - hope you’re OK Choccie - miss you!

For the newbies, I’ll put up a picture of Soddit doing what he does best… Make use of him… his nature is VERY loving… (and he doesn’t slobber!) He is good at founding up positive fairies, so enjoy him…

I’m having a week off from W.O.R.K. to potter round the kitchen and the woods… Curried parsnip and apple soup for lunch if anyone wants it… home-made bread of course…

Won a box full of make-up last night worth £130, in a raffle for Look Good Feel Better! How appropriate is that? AND, I have baby eye-lashes! Wooo!

Brought youcancopewiththis and youwillsurvive and cancersucks in with me this morning if anyone needs them… positivethinking came, but ran away, as is her wont…

seeya later… Jane

GIJane he is fantastic !!! So snugly . Heal Soddit .

Hi woodies

have found a new corner of the woods, Crock Hollow, will be residing there for the next few weeks as fell off the bus yesterday and broke my left wrist!!!

Disaster that is me also has infection in Mx site. Have to see onc next week to see when I can have first dose of swamp juice now, God himself is the only person who knows when my dreaded treatment will start now.

Am looking around for itisgoingtobeok fairy but not having any luck!!

hope to be back in my tent by the lagoon ASAP

best wishes M

Me again

Jane can I borrow youcancopewiththis pls

youcancopewiththis is all yours my friend… broken wrist on top of everything else and you need all the fairies and prayers we can give you! I’ll go to the chapel in the woods and light a candle for you, and all the others suffering today… Jane

Hello my woodie friends old and new.
I’ve been working hard in the land of NED and got a frozen shoulder. I’m currently in crock hollow. A nice comfy chair is required. I have come back to the woods for some rest and recuperation…and am drawn to the wonderful smells of the patisserie yurt.

Applestreet what are you playing at? Itsgoingtobeok is on her way . Come out of Crock Hollow and laze by the Lagoon. Soddit and Buggerit have both been sent off to find you lots of newts to fight the infection. Lots of rest and relaxation until you are better. We don’t want woeisme invited because she casts a big black cloud over the wood. All gremlins have been told where to go while your on a bit of a foggy path. There are lots if bundles of positivity in the JM. Mine’s a Gin.

good to see some new woodies around, made my tent nice and cosy and have slept well for the past few nights, even slept through Soddit and Buggerits excited barking.

Will be in the JM before bedtime tonight for a nice large cold chardonnay.

Will also be hunting for some newts to help get rid of this cold before next Thurs don’t want anything to postpone 2nd chemo.

Hi Jean

Buggerit has been out all afternoon sniffing out spare newts. He has come back with quite a few slobber covered ones which have been washed and placed in jam jars by the side of my tent. Please come and help yourself to them.

I had a cold when I went for TAX #3 and it didn’t stop me having the chemo, only low newts do that.

Would love a drink tonight but looking back in my diaries I can see that taste usually goes on Day 2 (which is today) - I can try a sip!!

Evening Supertrooper the things that remained unchanged re taste we’re GT Whisky and Ginger and the strawberry lager. Fizzy water was also ok. Forget the wine such a waste. Luckily this time it had gone by day four. See you in the JM. But like you I need sleep.
Jean you are not meant to get a cold have a hot toddy and Soddit to keep you warm.

Hi fellow woodies

am coming out of crock hollow for the evening thanks to St Tramadol.

Janipi you can come to the JM for theevening with me if you like.

Jane thank you for the fairy loan.

Cackles will see you in the JM drinks are on me and a big hot toddy for jean.

Have no need for woeisme have another fairy friend iamawalkingdisaster!!! lovely bright pink plastercast so you’l all know where I am.

lovely oncy nurse says wrist shouldn’t stop me having swamp juice dose so hopefully will be able to get stated soon.

best wishes to all. M

Hi

Giant hot toddy for you with a jar of newts for a carry out!!!

Soddit ready to keep you warm… Remember, taste buds are unaffected in the Woods. Mine’s a large red…

Look forward to seeing you all there.
