FUNCURLS FOOD DIARY, BLOG and CHIT CHAT!! New target set!!

Morning chica - sorry about not replying to you on my diary!
Totally manic here - what with debtors meetings and demanding friends staying. Gahhhhh

Glad your mum is coping with the chemo - how about strapping her into her chair to stop her doing too much? :8855:
Off to pool soon - once we get 16 year old out of bed - as it's blumin' hot here today
 
I'm good thanks, and actually Mum's not too bad this week! She went on a day trip to Sidmouth on her own the other day and was feeling much better, 4 days after chemo, so she's still getting on with things and life and stuff!!! She has another week of freedom before the onslaught continues!! Thanks for asking hun xxxxx

Hey hun, you're so lovely and thoughful popping by to see me, when I'm soooo rubbish at writing on my own Fred!!! HELLOO!!!! I'm just so happy hopping around to other peoples' Freds, I seem to forget about my own!! I suppose I never feel like I've got anything interesting to say for myself, and I haven't been keeping food diaries lately which I know I should be really but I go through periods of finding it a bit of a bind in all honesty!! So yes I am busy, but I am around, just being a social butterfly I suppose!!!

Hey Bev, see, two days and I haven't even been on my own Fred (I've nicked that off you!!!)

Mum is fighting fit thanks!! The chemo is still going- She's due to finish this course in October/November time I believe! I've lost track a bit this time because it's a bit different to last time- she has to have 2 together one week, then a top-up of the second drug the following week, then 2 weeks off, and so forth! She continues to amaze me in her 'get on with it' attitude when many would take to their beds and write themselves off!! I've been worried she's not resting enough, but now I've come to the conclusion that if the 'get on with it' outlook helps her to maintain her PMA, it's probably not a bad thing that she's not going to bed every time she feels a bit tired!! But the question is will it hit her hard later on?!! Oh well, we have to take each step as it comes and the fact is she's enjoying life and packing as much in as she can while she's got it, so who am I to complain about that?!!

I've sent a little message on your own Fred re your own Mum's situation!! Stressful times, but looks like it's going to calm down when she gets settled!!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Thanks for your post chica - stress a bit lower for me today as she was quite co-operative.
But I'll have to wait and see of she actually does what she promised.

Great that your mum is coping so well. Just let her chose how to handle things. She knows her own body and her own motivation.
Who are we to judge what is right and worng? Although she must be a remarkable lady to cope with it all so well.

Thanks Bevvers for your message once again! Mum is in decent spirits and I'll just let her do what she's going to do anyway- that's the best way I think lol!!!
Just posted on yours and DDSSSS fred!!!XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
 
Hey sweetie, hope you and family are doing ok. I got a new job :), should get offer through in next few days so I can my notice in at the end of the week ....exciting times.
Thinking of you, hope your not working too hard xxx

Hey chick, thanks for your kind words!! Always working hard unfortunately lol!! But can't complain as just had a few days off in a row!! Had a wonderful weekend with my best friend from home who came up for the first time in absolutely years and brought her partner and 7 & 3 year olds!! It was so lovely as the weather was kind to us and we got to do lots of stuff which the kids adored!! Unfortunately the weekend didn't end so well as after they had all left Dai and I went to our good friend Bernard's caravan- his Mum had been staying with them there for the weekend- a very frail 6 stone lady with vascular dementia! She was changing into her PJs in the bedroom when we heard a thud and a scream! Bernard and I are both nurses and ran in to see to her- apart from a minor laceration to her shin she wasn't able to stand or move her left arm- we managed to perch her on the bed but we knew she'd broken something! We had to call an ambulance and it's turned out that she had fractured pelvis, neck of femur (hip) and shoulder!! We feel so guilty as we were there in the caravan but know we can't beat ourselves up about it- it could have happened in her own home when she was alone!! So Bernard went to the hospital in the ambulance with her and we had 3 kids overnight and most of yesterday! To top it all off little did we know that Dai's Dad had a fall yesterday too in his residential home, and had to go to A&E too, but he's home safe and sound now!! These parents are a blinkin worry aren't they!!!!

Anyway you got that job!!!!!! Congratulations! You must have impressed them in a big way! I know that you've been stressed out with your current job so I hope this one's more enjoyable and a positive challenge for you!!! Well done you!!! XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
