oh hun you are angel to put up with all of this.  It sounds like your mum may be angry becuase you are ill and is taking it ot on you becuase she does not know wot else to do.....though this is no excuse for her awful behaviour.

Big hugs hun xxxxx

My word! As if you dont have enough on your plate as it is.

You sounded amazingly calm throughout all that, i'd have hit the roof and left her in a and e to do as she wished.

I dont know what to say, I really hope you can sort stuff out and it doesnt cause more stress for you.

Chin up chica - as you'd say!

Still no phone call yet.  Joe got home yesterday at about half fourish..I was majorly flagging at that point.  Id had something to eat and was guzzling coke like it was going out of fashion..anything to keep going lol.  Told joe what had happened as when I got back from the hozzie it was too late or early lol to give him a ring.  I didnt know what shifts he was working so didnt want to wake him just in case so he wouldnt be over his hours if that makes sense.

Anyway, he was cross to say the least, but even though hed been driving for over 7 hours (car crashes, roads closed..had to go the scenic route) he took over with the girls got them all ready for bed...and ran me a nice hot bubbly bath and basically pampered me which was nice ahem.

So this morning, next door was up at 7 and hoovering just after 8...however joe was up and watching the sport grrrrr....so I shoved my head under the pillow as you do lol..muttering lots of interesting words apparently.  The girls were up at early oclock due to next door crashing and banging about..but were quite happy playing in tasjas room, which was nice.

So far, hes helped tasja with her homework..cos it made no sense to me..and was scary hard lol.  Ive played with isla..booogieying away lol.  Oh yeah..shes been teaching me the dance to the lenor concentrate advert cos she loves it lol.  Hes now gone out to pick up rather a lot of dog poo...and then hes going to cut the jungle down that seems to have sprung up lol. 

It just seems so much more relaxed in the house.  Joe has said that mum can come over on the next two wednesdays and for the weekend that we are away for a wedding, but thats it no more.  If she wants all her stuff back hell hire a wagon and take it over.  As for when I start my radiotherapy, its over the school holidays, tasja will be away..now we can either put isla into nursery or take her with us to the hospital.  Joe wont be able to come in with me while I get zapped so he cant see a problem with it.  I wont have to do school runs etc so I havent got that stress to deal with.  Hes livid about what mum was saying and wont have me spoken to like that.  Says that we will deal with the rest of treatment with help from friends and not snipey relatives..which is fair dos.  I feel a lot happier and well chilled out...
