Standing outside the dark, dark woods.

All this talk of fancy dress has reminded me that I have to finish my costume for a party in NED. I am going as Cruella Devill from 101 dalmations.
Going to spend the rest of the week sleeping in my tent in the woods - need a break from NED as I have my 6 month check up on Friday and my back is hurting - can’t help but worry about why!!
Come on Buggeritt and FECKIT - HEAL!!

do Buggerrit and FECKIT get to dress up too??? Put the Worry down and run away quickly - I’ll zap it! and pick up Positivethinking… i know she’s unreliable, but she’s good while she’s here…

party soudns fab… just going down the towpath to Benchland to see how it goes there… ttfn…

shoes in the shape of a T…go on then…might see David Tennant afterall or gorgeous Colin Firth…

PB is quite nice to look at as well…as long as he keeps quiet…

Evening ladies…ideas needed to decorate the JM for the party this weekend…

Party??? have I missed something?..:slight_smile: Looove parties:)…Tis Bonfire time…so could have lots of cut outs of fireworks…Oh and a make believe guy on Bonfire that looks like NE:)), well cool…
Had bit of depressed day today and beenin googleland…googleland is not good…however wallowed for a bit…borrowed positivethinking and am ok again now…am hoping sleep fairy doesn’t desert me at 3am again…she’s been a right pain this week…poor OH was asleep so soundly again had to check he was alive again…think he is getting teensy bit fed up of this…oh well. Bit chilly tonight, need extra cat over when retire to tent.
Supertrouper…of you need a dalmation to go with Cruella you can borrow my Spotty PJ.s xxx

Kitty - AVOID googleland! It’s full of mis-information! Most of the sites quote old stats that would frighten you to death… stick with reputable ones like MacMillan and this one… please… Googleland does your head in, and we need you OK for The Party!!! Please can I NOT do fancy dress?? SO bad at it… I could always dress up as a vicar…

i hate fancy dress too and am rubbish at it lolo…so will be dalmation in my oversize PJ… Thought of doing SineadOconnor (how we laughed)…but prefer to be Dalmation :))))

Evening Woodies. I have been checking out the Woods in Scotland for a couple of weeks…glorious colours and fantastic weather. I am now back to the Land of NED and about to cut down the worry tree. Helpers needed please. I don’t seem to be making too much headway by myself. All because of a common cough that before BC I would have ignored. How silly to notice so many aches and pains now I am no longer enjoying a busy life. No doubt doing an enormous amount of ironing tomorrow will make my neck ache worse… I think I need dear Soddit for a cuddle Jane. “Heal boy”…
Supertrouper. I think you need a medal for looking after so many pouches … especially those that leave puddles everywhere!
All those having chemo etc sleep well and I am so glad you are keeping tne Woods populated.
I am off to get a Kiwi fruit or dozen.

Hi Ladies, nannabarb (thank you) posted this thread to me. Your posts are very funny. Hello from a newby. Have good days and bad days - Iv stayed away from googling anything to do with BC as iv been taking the advice of other users. Googled my local support group instead.

As for decs, I have some left over Hallowe’en bunting I made for the shop where I work and some nice spiders web voile we can hang in swags
GIJane Kittyqueen, the beauty of virtual parties is that EVERYONE is fab at fancy dress and looks fantastic !! and Kitty, with you on the Cat Warmers, I have two, indispensible.
