Jude this is wonderful news I am so glad it all went well....bet you and vic are over the moon...give them our best wishes...
Linda, I am so sorry to hear you are not well its the most awful feeling , I do pray it will soon be sorted and you will feel much better <3 <3 <3 <3
Mo, I have been very busy ,so no time for frivolous stuff ....it takes a lot of effort sitting watching tele and having endless cups of tea, oh and a few biscuits .....
this wedding seems to be a big worry to you, a woman of your age shouldnt be upset you should be putting your feet up and have a couple or in your case three or four tots to keep you strenght up.....lol......or have you still promised the aa you will stay off the vino?
:-P :-P :-P :-P :-P :-P <3
I am sure Caz will let us know how she went on, usually she is very tired after a visit to the hospital. but we can still keep her close ....

loves for Caz... Jean xxx

Hi girls I'm a bit late todayI am so tired. It's difficult when your legs won't work and you have to make them. Well it seems I have to have some more chemo, starting next week. I am so tired I can't think straight so ai will put it down tomorrow when I can think. Can't walk now as I didn't take my wheelchair so my legs are letting me down and I'm falling so am off to bed. Sorry if this is all confused, it should be, my head is, also I am seeing double with this new set-up don't like it.

Caz xx

Evening everyone:)

Caz...you have good reason to be knackered, just rest and get back tomorrow....still thinking of you:)

Thank you everyone:)

Take care all of you:)

PUSS text earlier to say she's very tired after her op and will get back asap:)
Take care Puss:)

love jude xx

Linda, sorry to hear the labrynthitis is back, it is not nice, hope that you can get rid of it quickly.

Mo, how stressful for S to have problems with all the dresses. Hopefully the big bridesmaid's dresseswill turn up and she will have found something for the little ones today. did the shop promise them in time I wonder, if they did and they won't be ready I hope she presses for her money back. I think places like John Lewis and Debenhams still do bridesmaid type dresses, although with little ones party dresses would look pretty if they have them in the right colours.

I have missed Sylvia I think but I hope she has a nice, safe break.

Caz, have a good nights sleep and tell us all about it in the morning <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 It might help your eyes with these new colours if you take the brilliance down on your screen a bit, usually buttons on the bottom of the screen to do it.

Jean, busy busy, or watching the Olympics????

Can l just add....just read back a few posts.....so sorry to hear of all your probs and do hope you all feel better soon.
Should'nt talk too soon l know, but l am so grateful for the fact that l feel good no real ailments except abit of arthitis!!

Love jude xx

Since GR has changed things today I no longer have the Emoticons, I'll have to get in touch with them and hope that I can get them back.


Great news Jude. Congratulations. I bet both you and Vic are thrilled.


Caz, hope you manage to get a good nights sleep. You can let us know whats what tomorrow.....still thinking about you.



Ann, I was thinking that Debenhams and John Lewis still do bridesmaids dresses although I would think that Debenhams might be a bit cheaper than John Lewis.



Mo, I hope that S is able to get dresses for the little ones. I didn't realise that BHS had stopped selling wedding wear.


Linda, sorry to hear you have labrynthitis, I hope that it won't last too long for you.


Joyce, lovely verse, as the others have already said, it's what we all feel about Caz.


Jean, I expect you have been busy making cards. I have started to make some Christmas cards.....it's almost five months since I made any cards at all so I'm a bit slow making them, to say the least.


Lorraine if you are looking in, I hope that your operation went well and that you soon feel a lot less tired.


Well I'll say goodnight now, speak to you all tomorrow.


Take care everyone.


Love, Sallie.xxx

Welcome to the chain Jean (Jeniwren).

Just a brief visit as I am psyching myself up for a visit to my least favourite person..... the dentist. However, I shall think of Caz and know that in her postition I would never be as brave and upbeat as she is

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 for you Caz xx

Hello caz <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

hello everyone nice cool breeze today, i cant believe how my caulki and sweetcorn have grown since been away .

Hi girls and welcome to the thread Jean, I do take one day at a time, we never know whats round the next corner do we.
I went to the cancer clinic yesterday and she wants me to go back on chemo, the tablets, as she said it is showing signs of being re-activated, my platelets are very low. I can't remember what else she said because she talked a lot. I am seeing her again next week but have to go for a blood test just before, hope my platelets don't drop any lower.
Ann, the brave one here is you, going to the dentist is something I hate and would never go if I could get away with it.
Does anyone else get jumpy legs, I have had them three days and nights now solid, I am so tired as I can't sleep for them and am wandering between kitchen and bedroom drinking tea, which is where I am going soon, cup of tea and a couple of rich tea biscuits.
What do you think of the new setup on here, I find it very difficult to read so are not on for long.
Going for a drink.

Love Caz xx

You are not alone ith not being able to stay on for long Caz, and they are aware, see the locked post at the top. Hopefully they are going to come up with a solution.
Did you get a card from me? I dn't trust the post these days, so many things go astray. No wonder, a couple of days ago we had a letter addressed to somebody in the next rad, completely different name and number. I chased after postie and he just said 'Oh ta for that'. Quite unconcerned, no apology.

Hi Ann yes I got your card, how lovely thank you, got another from Eileen in holland as well this morning.
I can't use my left leg after walking yesterday and are having trouble getting around so I have just been sat around. No news so I will just say that I hope you are all ok.

Love Caz

Caz Love you just take it easy one day at time and remember im always here for you 24/7,will take to you on sat if im out when you ring i will ring you back ,just been shopping with OH for his wedding clothes blimey hes worse than women dont like this dont like that .was glad to get home as my legs and feet were killing me
Love Dutchxx

Aw Joyce put your feet up for the rest of the day, my leg is awful today, can hardly walk. Lol they say men are worse when buying clothes. What do you think of this new site, it is better today than it was yesterday but I still preferred it as it was. Well I only came on to close down so I will talk to you Sat.

Love Caz xx

Hi Jeni, good to see you on here lovey, you know you are welcome to chat to us at any time.

Lorraine how did your op go? Were they able to sort anything out for you.

Jean you cheeky little imp, I don't need a tot or two, I need a bottle or two to get me through. lol
And a woman of my tender age ahem 25, has got broad shoulders, and can take the strain, even though it doesn't seem like it.
The trouble is, these broad shoulders are starting to make me stoop even more these days, I can spot a five pence piece a mile away.

Jude thanks for letting us know that Puss was home safetly. Hows the new Mum to be coping? is she suffering from morning sickness at all. I certainly don't envy her that, and I was always grateful when it passed.

Sallie, S managed to get a couple of dresses last night. The only trouble is, that the one for my ten year old grandaughter, I don't think will fit her, as she bought one for the age of an 8 year old.
She said that the body size is correct, but the length may be wrong, and will probably be about two inches above her knees.
Knowing Courtney, she will complain that it's to short, and that will put the cat amongst the pigeons, as S has been pulling her hair out over these darned dresses.

Ann, how did it go at the dentists today? Were your legs strong enough to carry you inside, and do you need any treatment done.

Caz my love, what can I say to you, except, stay strong and beat the bu**er, coz we all want you to do it. ( Selfish I know, but I feel so strongly about this damned Cancer)

Joyce, I was soo pleased that Roly could still fit into his suit for our son's wedding at the end of the month.
He had only worn it once, and that was at our 40th wedding blessing, back in2004.
I got him a new shirt and tie, and thats him sorted thank goodness.
I dread to think what would have happened if we had had to get him a new suit as well.
He's a fuuny size now, and we would never have been able to get one off the peg as we once could.
Like all of us, he has shrunk so much that his inside leg is now only a twenty six and a half, and I have to shorten all his trousers for them to fit him properly.

Well girls, I will say goodnight god bless. Take care everyone. Love Mo xxx

<3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3For Caz <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Mo Jan dos,nt fit into any of his suits the jackets fit but not the trousers so we went last night to C&A to see if we could apair trouses to match the jacket well ,it was worse than when i go shopping then had to get new shirt ,than new shoes what about new tie,i was dead on my feet when he had finished and we had only been in one shop,anyway i wish you all agood weekend Love Dutchxx <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3 <3

Joyce, I wish we still had C+A's over here. It would make things far easier having everything under one roof.
If we want to buy certain things we go to Matalan, but for trousers for Roly, he has to buy them from a certain catalogue, and then I still have to shorten them for him.
We both suffer from ducks disease now, and scrape our BTM's on the kerbs when we step off them. lol ;-)
But just think Joyce, now he has got the new gear, he wont need to buy them again for a while. That will save on your legs for you honey.
I have still got to shorten my dress for the wedding. My neighbour is going to pop in next week and pin it up for me. It's not the sort of thing you can do whilst wearing it is it. Otherwise it will end up all wonky donkey knowing my luck.
Trying to buy the cotton was funny as well, getting the right shade was a nightmare, but as it's going to be right at the bottom of the dress, it wont show to much fortunately.
I must remember to send my letter to Sheila tomorrow, I am getting so forgetful lately.

Have an enjoyable weekend everyone, love Mo xxx

I can't believe that a few weeks back we went shopping for a suit for T and went into the M&S outlet shop in Glos and immediately found a suit in dark grey like he wanted that fits him, all in about 30 minutes!!!!
