We were going to get chickens two years ago just before I was diagnosed and then did not feel like taking anything else on. I have been today to pick up “the ginger four” and the girls are clucking away in their new hen house.

what made me happy today was going to my brothers where his 3 beautiful grandchildren awaited me and the sheer delight on his 2 year olds grandsons face as he proudly did a wee on the potty then because of the applause and "well done " he tried so hard to squeeze another one out , i swear the veins on his neck were sticking out and he was one amazing shade of red !!beautiful moment xxs
Spending the afternoon with my grand-daughter aged 16 months. She has been talking nineteen to the dozen in her own language for a couple of months now but today I noticed a big difference and was able to understand some of what she was saying. Lovely hug and cuddle when I left and she tried so hard to say Grandma.
I am stuffed. I have eaten enough today to feed a small country, but I’m finally beginning to feel human, the FEC fog seems to have lifted.
A friend has just been offered a really good job (which he has accepted, so I’m excited for him), and it’s a lovely day. And I’ve had hugs and cuddles from all my girlies. There, that’s what made me happy today.
Hearing what my just 5 year old grandson said yesterday.
“Mummy I’ve something in my willy”
Mum looks and sees he’s discovered his ba**s. Tells him they’re part of his willy.
" They feel like a brain. I always knew I had a spare brain and now I know where it is"
Told my daughter he’s spot on, that’s where most of them keep their brains.
Hipchick- I love it- laughed out loud!!
Ragamuffin, he comes up with one every day but this is the best so far.
Hipchick, yet again you made me smile widely and chuckle hard - you’re one funny lady, I love it.
I’m also happy as my physio managed to ‘ping’ my ‘twang arm’ today, so more relief and my ‘YMCA’ routine is almost perfect. Bring on the macarena and I’ll be cheerleading before you know it ha ha!
Hipchick, thhat is so funny. Out of the mouths of babes…
happy cos i’m in bed with my replacement kindle. Joy.
Reasonably productive day at work, bloods good to go for tomorrow’s feccing, and Hipchick made me laugh out loud - grandchildren are really priceless. Oh and my son sent me a message to say he wants to set up a time for me to talk to my grandaughter in Southampton on skype - small step but that really makes me happy (I know I have the other two nearby, but I love all three the same of course)!
Hipchick, I LOVE your grandson!

Watching "You’ve been Framed - "celebrities " - yes, I know I’m a sad individual, but it was SO funny. I was trying to eat my dinner at the same time and laughed so hard, I kept having coughing fits!
EC 3 day 9 and I have finally woken up this cycle without feeling like I want to hurl. Small mercies 
Hearing the word “stable” after having 2 other treatments not work! and feet are calm on the Capecitamine today so am off to town!
The sun is shining, I have woken in my own bed and I don’t have a Graseby 3000 attached to me.
Hipchick - your grandson made my day! Also my daughter (9) cuddled up to me last night, reading her book.

So pleased your treatment is working, Fran.
Love, Sarah x
Hipchick - I had a good belly laugh at your grandson!!!
What made me happy today… lounging in bed and was absolutely starving hungry but couldn’t be bothered moving to go downstairs, then I heard our cat Nala screeching the place down clearly dying from starvation and I thought I’d better get up and go feed her and then myself… went and fed said beast, turns out she wasn’t hungry, she just wanted lots of kisses and cuddles with me :))
As soon as I sat down to my laptop she as all over me furring me up and “talking” to me.
Wish I had a cat. Used to be terrified of them but love them now. Very tactile. Love dogs too but all i have at the moment are koi carp ( put coy carp but that’s not quite right is it) and they’re not cuddly, but I’ve trained them to come for food when I ring the bell. Might try getting them jumping through hoops next.
El Katrano,
My cat’s like that - always squawking for something. I’ve spoiled her so much she’ll only eat certain brands of chicken breast now - none of that cat-food muck! She’s also quite neurotic and bad tempered and hisses a lot -she’s actually a lot like me! Love her, though! She’ll only come to us when she wants to…naughty tortie indeed!
Hope everyone’s OK on here,
Sarah x
