long time no see....

It feels like its been ages since i've posted suppose its because I've been busy and getting on with my life.

Its now been 7 months since official diagnosis and 11 months since the tumour was discovered albeit diagnosed as pneumonia! So far I am doing very well, I don't really feel ill and there isn't much I cannot do. I have joined the gym but think I did a bit too much in the first week! I have to remember I am not the same as before.

I have done all of my christmas shopping (including wrapping paper and cards!) some of you will think I am mad, there are reasons for this. The first one being, if the scan is good in November, Paul and I want to go away for the first few weeks in December for our 10th wedding anniversary, which won't give me anytime for 'last minute' shopping. The second one: I don't want the stress of rushing around crowded shops not knowing what to buy and thirdly: if the scan is not good, I won't feel like doing it, plus the treatment will change and I may be a bit worse for wear. Obviously, I am going with reason 1!

The extension is coming on a treat even though we seem to be going 3 steps forward 2 steps back! On removing the old bathroom tiles floor we found the joists were rotten (the bathroom is above the kitchen) so now the kitchen ceiling had had to come down so you can imagine the mess which seems to have migrated through the whole house!!!

I have also just been on a trip to Cannes with an old friend for a long weekend. Cannes was fab we even went to Monaco/Monte Carlo which was beautiful, the train followed the coast and the scenery was breathtaking. The french are lovely, we stayed in the 'prestidgious' Hotel Martinez (which I managed to get for a bargain price!) if was fabulous! And of course I did manage some shopping!
