What made me happy today

thanks, feeling much better today, but other eye is now turning black.

congratulations on your grandchild, it is great having this place to share things with. Perhaps my memory is going, but i dont ever remember keeping it a secret. as soon as that line turned blue you shouted it from the housetops.

OAL - when I saw your picture I thought your other half had got fed up with the cancer!!! WHAT a shiner!
WMMNT? Beginning to feel human, yes, human, after my last chemo! Yay! Jane

Had a call from Halifax who have agreed to pay back 16 years of PPI payments on my mortgage. Should be about £5000!! About time I had some good news. I will be able to pay off my credit card, treat me and my son to something nice and put some away for a rainy day.

I had a cuddle with my day old grandson last night. He is gorgeous, and I fell in love instantly. !!!

Bear with me on this one…

My little girl (7) was on the loo when I dragged my self out of bed this morning, It is day 4 post final chemo…(3FEC/3TAX)she looked at me and said …I actualy cant now bring myself to type what she said, but she has evidently been worrying! I reassured her and as we chatted I could see her beautiful ( and she is) face and her dark brown choclate eyes looked at me and as she smiled I told her I thought she was beautiful to which she replied " So are you " I told her “not at the minute Im not I’m bald and fat!” to which came her immidiate reply…" you are to me" what better reason to fight on!!! XX

Awww how lovely J!
J and BD - the children are so what makes it all worthwhile, and BD there is nothing like a cuddle with a newborn grandchild - I was so desperate to meet each of my three!
My youngest grandaughter just popped in for half an hour - a little whirlwind as usual, puzzle done, pictures drawn, biscuits begged from kitchen - all is right! She was asking to stay with Nana when she left, but she will have to wait until Saturday when Mummy and Daddy are going to the Big Chill and we are taking her to Cotswold wildlife Park for the day and keeping her overnight.

Don’t you just love em? She my little un took my mobile and txt her grandma how much she loved her (didn’t know she could text!!!)… my mum had to pop in this aft ‘to see the little girl who loves her so much’ X
I am a way off grandchildren yet as my 2 are only 7&9 and as many of you know my 1st fight with BC made me a late starter 1st child born at 39 then next one nearly 41, but then they had said I would not likely have any!!! with regards to grandchildren, However I am hoping…one day??? XXX

when i explained to my 7 year old daugther that on monday mummy will go in hospital to have a op and when i come out i will only have one boob which my daugther said mummy will a new one grow back and i said no my daugther said i will still love you loads mummy maybe even more xxx

What made me happy today? A lovely phone conversation with a friend from here, who made me feel so much better. You know who you are, thank you.

J, your post about your little girl really brought a tear to my eye. From someone of that age you can tell that it comes from the heart.

a spontaneous invitation to supper with friends,wine, conversation and giggles.

Its 2.24 and my new puppy ( 9 weeks old) hasn’t had any accidents on the kitchen floor yet!!

oops!

Queenie, I would think just the first three words of your post make you happy! Welcome to the family, little pooch.

Choccie
She is lovely… but it is exhausting!
We’ve stopped watching TV, we just ooh and ahh at the puppy… the cat isn’t quite so in love! x

Bet it’s the cat that rules the roost though! I have full-grown dogs terrified of that gentle-looking ginger moggie that you met - he’s a HARD MAN!

You haven’t met my special needs cat!
She has brain damage and epilepsy and is the soppiest animal on the planet

My 2 cats who instinctively know when I need a cuddle - how does that work? They are such a comfort.

just been visited by my lovely youngest son and daughter-in-law and their beautiful 2 and a half year old daughter to bring me their scan photo of the new baby expected on feb 13 th !!!

what made me happy… seeing how life goes on for everyone on here…puppies…babies…simple things like eating… and all that despite cancer!!!

Took my wee man to physio, and got 2 bargain car seats (boosters) out of lidl on the way home, they are as ‘light as a feather’ we can slip em in suitcases to save on the 12 a day hire!!!

Florida is what I have fought for for the last 7 months…does anyone know why I just cant feel overexcited about it though???

WMMHT…Waking up after a good nights sleep and feeling normal for the first time since starting chemo hooray!
