Hi Mavis
Well am for that bit over 67 and am sure the big man will allow it haha.
Yes it is a bugger to be ill enough to claim it and to be fair I wouldn't want to be that ill.

Eve
Am sorry but if those daisies won't push themselves up they stay where they are lol (av never been a gardener) but am ok for a Onesie Party hehe .

Helen am same hate waiting for "it" to happen be it treatment or waiting to see if it kicks back in, good luck with it.

Love to you all my weekend has just started as my young bride (Elaine) has just gave me a vodka three days of nw carnt wait.

Hi Jean and Frank

Well Done its here 😀 yep uts scary :-S its not a walk in the park BUT it is a Doable, Trust me i have done it yes i was scared but it had to be done 😛

Just get Frank to use the moth wash more often than it says on the bottle (I used two botlles in three days) and it worked for me little mouth problems after that not worth talking about.
Keep taking the Antisick Tabs even if Frank doesn't feel sick.
Oh and am sorry to say find out where the loo is lol
And Oh two Ice Pops get some stored if hospital aint got any any and chew while SCT and Chemo is being given.
Good Luck to you both.

Hi Babs
Yes it looks a minefield to try and get something. Trouble is I am fortunate enough to be fit (ish) but to be fair I am tired and get a wee bit weary at times? but hey ho Onwards and upwards.

As for using a trolly when shopping I love to take the grandkids as i can push the trolly and love to take them for a walk with the dog cos i can lean on the pushchair helps my back also.
Yes am sure we can manage if I packed job in but its me and the "I aint Ill" Syndrome and am sure I know that wont help me in the long run.

Helen
Well I aint no hero ha ha
Yes i start work at 6am but am awake at 4 (ish) every morning even on sat and sun (days off) so early start isnt a problem ????? lol
It is a personal choice but its a male thing i think I need to go and clock on for work 😀 but the DLA was going to be a tester if i got it i would pack in work. but as thats not gonna happen it looks like roll on summer sun lol.

Your Q as what to do to prepare for the future?:::: Well Elaine (the young bride) was diagnosed with Breast Cancer in 2008 and prior to that we were setting ourselfs up for Retirement, our plan was to sell the house and move to spain (country) and the age we had planned was two year ago 🙁 we had a bit of savings and with selling the home we could (as we seen it) manage BUT Elaine getting Breast Cancer and having the treatment we started to spend our money, More Holidays abroad (we went in between Elaines Treatment four times in one year 08) more nites out for meals, Then in 2009 I was told I had MM so it started again spend spend and more spend till it all had near gone. do I have any regret in doing that? Not one bit would i do the same again Too true i would.
And Helen as for your Home well we have been in our little home for near 26 years just over and we are putting it on the market and going to try and rent a Council Flat/Bungalow it then leaves us Money to live on and have fun 😀 personal thing but am sure it will work for us for many many a year to come.

Many Thanks to you all for your replies.

Love Tom Onwards and Upwards xx
