So after last weeks shenanigans, I had a quiet weekend in the garden, pottering around. Have to say it's been good for the soul. I'm feeling very tired at the moment but it's spaced out with burst of frantic energy, cos even though I'm tired I can't relax enough to snooze. Tuesday I have the heart s...

I did however come away with a box of Crispy Creme donuts, a bag of cheese and hubby got some wine. The highlight of the day however ha...

Have to say that one of the positives about the hitchhiker is how fantastic my friends and family have been. I've had flowers and cards, messages of support and today some of my mates gave me a care package they'd put together! I was really touched, they obviously know me, because it included vodka,...

Well here I am again awake at 4am. Yesterday was a really wobbly day, I hadn't cried the two days before but yesterday I just felt off and weepy. My friend back in Scotland had sent me some flowers, and that just tipped me over. It was such a nice gesture and unexpected, I've had flowers and cards f...
