Daff xxxxxx

Hi to all,
Well it was a beautiful morning but now raining and the council gardeners are getting soaked, they are trimming back the shrubs on the gardens opposite my home, the shrubs have really taken off this year but will soon look good again. Have to get around to doing some tidying in my garden as well so hope it is dry this weekend and I may make a start lol.

Hope everyone is having a good day and Daff enjoys her day playing out lol.

good afternoon. Daughter and husband have decided to pay us a visit this weekend, luckily we had not planned anything except a trip out for lunch tomorrow. Anyway just been and bought up T****s forget what it is like to feed four!!!!

Well... that is unexpected Ann... and I always enjoy anything off the cuff as it means I haven't exhausted myself cleaning!! Have a lovely weekend, and just relax and enjoy it....

Littlie will be staying with us a little longer this time... she is a little unsettled this visit, as a lot has been going on at home.... it will all come out in the wash......

Ginnie, ours are beginning to look a bit lush, too... lots of sunshine and lots of rain have made for luxuriant growth for some things (parsley is doing well) and just drowning other stuff!!

I might be late on the boards tomorrow... clinic day, lol, this is the longest I have been, and I am a bit nervous... daft, I know... but there you go!! 10 weeks since my last appointment.

Take care, and have a lovely day tomorrow, just in case I don't get online until late.

Love and ((((hugs)))))

Yes it was a nice surprise, would have been better had they said before that they wouldn't want a cooked lunch Sunday but would just have sandwiches before they left for home. Not to worry, we will just be eating chicken all week!! They will get here about 7 ish I expect tomorrow.

Going to Cheltenham tomorrow. OH's choice as he can have a glass or two of wine with his lunch if we are on the bus.

Hope all goes well tomorrow Daff.

Evening all and hope all is well with everyone. Had a fantastic day in Bournemouth with the grandchildren, the sun shone all day and we had a wonderful time. The parents went out to play for the day....lol.... My new service provider is not so great as I keep losing internet....grrrr....so using sons notebook.

Hope you all had a happy day.

morning all was awake with the lovely sunshine this morning so have changed my bedding O what fun
To take the bed apart move Tramp from pillow to windowsill ,then take bedding off whilst chasing Gizmo away from playing with the moving bedding put washing in machine .
return to bedding take Tramp off the pile of clean bedding ,get Gizmo out from the quilt on floor ,get tramp back off bed onto window sill then put sheet on as he jumps back on the bed and is underneath fitted sheet he slides out then Gizmo chases the pillowcases as i am putting them on ,put pillows down Tramp jumps on ,put quilt on bed get cover straight Gizmo is playing with my hand as i put quilt cover on lift quilt up to straighten Gizmo is jumping up to play with the corners .move both cats to put the top throw on and pillow shams open curtains both cats lay down and tummies up in the sun .and in one weeks time it all begins again .lol lol

Oh Maz l wonder how long it takes you to change the bed, lol.
Daff, hope your not over doing it in the garden ????? but so good of you to be doing it.
Ann hope your weeekend goes well and that T had a good day yesterday.
~~~~~~ to everyone else.
Busy day here today, District nurse in at 10.am then the Doctor and the cancer nurse ( thats what mum used to call her ) in around miday and its my nieces birthday today (25) she my brothers daughter who we're staying with and as you can all imagine we hope mum gets through this day as my niece is so close to her l hate to think she passed away on her birthday.
Mum is still battling on, we sit here and can't believe she is still with us, her breathing is very shallow and she has a few groans and she did come round for a few minutes yesterday but can't talk to us now but we are talking to her all the time. Bless Ed he gets up early every morning to sit and talk to her and holds her hand as he says she knows he is with her.
Ed and l did pop out for a hour or so yesterday to Dunelm as l wanted some new towels for the new wet room and managed to get what we wanted.
Hope you all have a really good weekend, xx

PS sorry Ann should have said .........hope T has a good day today. ( senior moment ) lol. x

Goodmorning everyone,

Daff - hope today goes well at the clinic. In case you haven't seen this, take a look. It's an absolute classic.
Newport in its finest hour.

Good day Daff and All :O))
Hope everything goes well at the clinic Daff....we'll be there in spirit holding your hand xx and must say The Garden is looking a treat! :O))

Aw BC glad you and your little blossoms had a wonderful day at Bournemouth,must say it's a place I've not visited yet.

Ann I have been to Cheltenham,many years ago,and my Daughter's Mil is visiting the Cotswolds this week, both lovely,pretty places.

Mummo do hope your family has a good day for niece's birthday. Leaving a big hug for your mum and Eddie (X)


Maz I'd be putting pussies outside ;O)

I like the video Karen clever and catchy....is this where the meet is then Daff?

we're off out into the sunshine this afternoon and somewhere nice for lunch
Have a good day everybody :O))
Mau XX

Wmsl , Karen.... that was brilliant... didn't show my bit of Newport, though!! lolol

Just a quick pop in.... Mummo, fingers crossed your mum has a gentle passing, and Ed is right, she can probably hear or sense that he is there with her. ((((hugs))))

Ann, sounds great ~~~~~~ to the birthday boy and wishes him a very happy *rest of the day* mwah!

BC, so glad you enjoyed your trip with the children, lol brilliant, isn't it?

Mau, yes, the meet is in Newport, near the town centre... just a week to go now, and I am really looking forward to it.

Maz, that was sooooo funny.... and just like sheet changing day in our house, as well.... hysterical, isn't it??? lolol

Hospital... well, no wonder I have been tired,lol... my bloods are right back down, but not down far enough to cause a major panic... enough to make me feel unwell, though. I have been given antibiotics in case I have had/have an infection... I might not have known about it, even, but my bone marrow would take longer than normal to recover anyway. I have to go next Friday and let them use me as a dartboard again... I thought they said if my bloods were still down, but hubby says they are doing it anyway... yuk, not my favourite test. Oh... bone and bonemarrow biopsies.. I didn't say which test.

He just wants to reassure himself (and me me me!!) that it has been a bug, and not a lead in to a full relapse, but we did talk about what my treatment would entail in those circumstances. He thinks the drop would have been much more dramatic, but he needs to check.

Some folk will do anything to get to see a handsome fella more frequently, won't they, lolol!

To be honest, I knew that things weren't wonderful... I half expected to have a full on AML relapse, so this was actually a huge relief.

I am off to loll about in bed for an hour or so, R has started the wrapping in cotton wool syndrome again, lolol

See you all later.

Love and ((((hugs)))))

Edit: my consultant has just telephoned me... his wife will kill him, he is supposed to be going home early as he has a two week family holiday planned,lol

He has been and had a good look at my samples for himself... he phoned to let me know he could find no sign of any blasts whatsover, which is excellent, as some could be expected to seep out.... but warned me that this is not a full guarantee... but it increases the probability that there are no blasts in my marrow. The biopsies will hopefully confirm that.... it is the only way it can be confirmed. It is still a niggle in the back of your mind though.

So, I am feeling a lot better than when I left the house this morning...


*Big Huge Grin* xxxx

Rest!! That is an order!!

Elisabeth xxx

Yes Daff you must rest and take care of yourself.

Ginniexx

Hope your listening Daff !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! xx

Lolol.... I am soooo fond of telling others to rest, as well, lol.... I have been to bed... had Littlie popping in and out to make sure I was ok, or to help her... she has to use the bathroom loo, will only wash her hands downstairs.... haven't a clue why... so has been using that as an excuse to pop in and cuddle for a bit. But at least I was resting!!

I will be going to bed early, as well.... like in about half hour.... promise!!

Love and (((((((hugs)))))

Daff xxxxx

~~~~~ to Elisabeth..... you pick up bad habits here you know, lolol ;¬))

Daff,

I have enough bad habits already - I don't think I shall pick up any more!

Now go and settle down for a restful night.

Elisabeth
xx

lolol..... Everyone should have a few bad habits, lol.... makes life so much more interesting... ;¬))

I am all ready for bed, but awaiting the sounds (ok ok lack of sounds) from a 4 year old who has decided she is a kangaroo now...... boing boing..... I am trying to find some dormouse stories.... much more restful for the grown ups......

Night all, sleep tight

Love

Daff xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
