Just felt like blogging...
Well, what news our family got on Thursday...my mum has been diagnosed with breast cancer! What a shock it was...first me, then 2 and a half years later my mum! Unbelieveable considering we have no history of cancer of any sort in our family! Apparently it's becoming more common that the daughter is diagnosed first,…

Much to my dismay it was cancer. 1…

Next meet will be on the 11th May at 10.30 am and instead of coffee I am going to have "pancakes on the deck." We noticed on a flyer…

I phoned the company we have previously used for travel and underwent a health assessment over the phone which asked about treatments and current medications.I was told I was too much of a risk and they won't insure me.....that didn't make me feel that good!
