Lucca

I’m going to look at wigs in case the chemo makes my hair fall out.

Do you have a friend who can advise you honestly?
You can always ignore her (or him) of course and go for something outrageous.

I’m seeing an expert hairdresser (she’s had chemo too) who has ordered some specially for me to try without obligation . Chosen to look as close to my own hair colour and style. Ironically my hair is about the only thing I’m happy within about my appearance !
My niece is coming with me.

Didn’t go today due to snow on the roads …going tomorrow.

Oh good. I hope you find one you like.

I hope the snow melts although it's going to be minus C in most places tonight.
Perhaps it's because I've just knitted a snowman!

Best wishes and hopeful your treatment is successful Lucca.

Sending best wishes to you too Lucca . ?

Lucca so sorry to read that you are facing chemotherapy.
What an awful worrying time for you but I hope whatever treatment you are facing will be successful.
Good luck with the wig search tomorrow with your niece.

Did not do a lot today. Stayed in the house, looked at the sunshine through the windows but knew it was blooming cold outside so I stayed in. Even a few snow flurries at times.
Kept the house warm and just pottered around,

Went to our daughters today we went near Skipton for pub lunch. We went on a brief shopping trip afterwards. Back at home later on in the afternoon started preparing for a nice Mediterranean meal for tomorrow.

Welcome telkiefin
You need cheering up ? Sorry, I’m not good at telling jokes, but just remember …….this too shall pass

Hi new here. Need cheering up!

We've had sleet, snow, wind and hailstones here, but I still went out. Met my Sister-in-law, had coffee and cake, mooched round the charity shops, bought some books for the GDs, then went back to SIL's house, reminisced about things, went home, had a quick and easy dinner.

I made a Red Velvet cake this morning and put the washing on. Did a bit of tidying and planned what cakes to make for a group meeting non Sunday.
This afternoon I have been to a sewing/ knitting club where it was my turn to make the tea/coffee.
Home to send a few emails and read a magazine. Just about to sort out dinner.

I've been to physiotherapy - goes are the days when they were hands-on and made you use gym equipment etc. It's just chats and printouts of exercises now - "do try this at home".

Well, we had a power cut at 6.30 that finally ended at 12 ☹️, so little has been done other than walking DDog and trying to keep warm. Luckily we have the wood burner now so not as bad as it could have been! Several heavy snow flurries but not settled at all thankfully. I need to do the ironing now and put away the washing then give DDog another walk.
Bit of a non day really, my get up and go has evaporated!

I was going to have a mooch around the shops but we have had snow, hail, rain, gale force winds here in my bit of Birmingham so I have stayed put.

20 years ago I’d have done that but I’m too wrinkly now !

Lucca My dd had extensive chemo and had her hair shaved for charity. She didn’t wear a wig, unless it was a fancy dress occasion, and I really admired her strength and confidence.
Wishing you all the very best and hope you find something nice ( which doesn’t itch).

Hope you feel better soon Gaga - glad yer not dying!

I have various errands to run, including to Peter Jones to yet again fondle the air fryers - worried it might end up in the cupboard with the George Foreman grill.

I might also spice up my day with a trot around Boots as have run out of various unguents and essential beauty aids!

In the middle of covid so spent most of it in bed. Not dying, but defo feeling horrible.

Today I had lunch with friends then came home and battled with my own snowman, MiniMoon. ⛄
He's sewn up and stuffed but hasn't any arms yet.

Today I took a walk in the snow, and went to my Knit and Natter group in our local library.
I was first to arrive, took off my coat and gloves and sat down to wait for the others. I waited for 30 minutes, decided that nobody else was coming so I put on my coat and gloves and walked home.
I looked like the abominable snowman when I got back, the snowflakes were like goose feathers. It didn't last though, and looks like it could be frosty tonight.

I've been sewing all day, making a quilt. I ventured up the garden to see what DH was doing to the plants and played with the dog. DH cooked dinner. Yesterday was horrendous, a bad IBS-D attack left me totally exhausted and I did nothing all day, so I'm pleased to be back to normal today. A day spent sewing is my idea of heaven!

This morning I made a baked dish Janssens temptation for our tea. Then I went shopping for undyed smoked haddock. We have just one supermarket with a proper fish counter now all the others closed down. Naturally smoked fish is not always available so I was pleased to get it I make a few tasty dishes with it.
We went to our sons to see the twins and played games with them. But the girls make up the rules so they always win no matter what the game is.

Continued with the decorating today - spare bedroom. Must get it done as wardrobe fitter coming next week. It will all be worth it, I keep telling myself ?.
