Just thought I would do a quick update & a "Hello" to all.
Now into month 9 of BR and things have continued quietly. Financially we are still reliant on Family & a few VERY close friends but all is good.
The better news is that I have just had my final ("YIPPPEEE") Chemo' treatment & I now await my Radio' dates,,,bring 'em on I say!
It certainly has been a tough ride but by gum it takes ya mind off BR. LOL.
The better, better news is that my parents have just surprised us with a trip to America to visit & stay with my sister for Christmas!!!!!!!!!!!
How amazing is that. It really cheered me up & has given me something to look forward to.
I do hope the OR can't claim my seats!!!!
Hope everyone is ok out there.
Keep smiling.

You do need help if you are watching him!!!
I love Ebay - use it all the time, especially for selling my old clothes that no longer fit me!
If it wasn't for the fact that we already have four dogs in the household then I'd offer as well!

Thanks glafy! I'll let you off checking the forum though as I certainly won't be when we're there!
If I was closer I'd love to look after Mabel! I worry about leaving Harry - I know people will think 'he's only a cat' but he follows us around like a dog and waits for us to come home! My friend has offered to go in and look after him as her wedding present to us and I know she loves cats so I'll be happy with that. Even if we could afford cattery fees I doubt there's one good enough for him!
I've always bought things on Ebay but I'm learning to love it now as I've bought loads of bits for the wedding! I've already bought the invitations, place cards, favour boxes and decorations (although obviously not the fillings!) and I'm also watching a couple of bridesmaid's dresses!

Only when the last tree has died, the last river has been poisoned and the last fish has been caught will we realise that we cannot eat money.
Last IPA payment made on 28th June 2010 and I'm now looking forward to getting married in September 2012 - I'm proof that you can go BR and come out the other side. |

I will compile a list for you Tracey while I am there and of course I shall log on and check on the forum.......!!!!!
I haven't mentioned any of this yet to Mabel (LOL) as I am sure she would not appreciate the thought of kennels! She would probably think that she had been abandoned all over again & I couldn't bear that.
I am hoping that our other family members will look after her while we are away as we can't afford kennel fees anyway. I have started thinking about bribery already. Joking aside, I do know that they will have her for us and she will love all the attention.
So many things to think about, I'm already looking on ebay for stuff to wear. I think I've become an addict to lurking on the site.
No idea what has happened to my life while I've been going through treatment. I even had Jeremy Vile on this morning!! Oh Gowd I need therapy.

That's brilliant news about your treatment and your holiday Julie!
I'll be wanting recommendations of places to go in Florida as we're planning on going there for a belated honeymoon in 2013!

Thanks for alll your Good Wishes Folks.
I do feel guilty going away but I also know how lucky I am to have such amazing parents & how fortunate it is to have a sister who lives abroad.
I am trying to put the guilt of going to the back of my mind at the mo'& focus on the benefits to my health of the vacation .
Jan, My sister lives in Florida, I am so looking forward to seeing her & spending time there with her. We went 7 years ago when she got married so it will be great to go back. Luckily she knows our financial situation & wants to look after us. I think I can let her do that!!!!!
