What have all these got in common you might ask? For years I have fundraised for different charities and I thought this would stop once I had my diagnosis 2 years ago. Well it didn’t but the charity I have chosen is much more personal to me as they are helping me not just nowContinue reading “Cows, Flower pots and raising money!”

My blog started all those many moons ago to record my running journey but turned out to be more than that. Before my treatment in 2015 for primary breast cancer I ran Race for Life to raise money, I saw it as I way of taking my mind off the upcoming treatment and when itContinue reading “It started with a run…”

So I have not been blogging for a few months, well since I came back from Switzerland and both me and Mum got Covid and after I recovered things went back to normal – well as normal as it can be and I never got around to writing. But speaking to someone earlier this weekContinue reading “Rumours of my demise are greatly exaggerated….”

Back to the bucket list, after having my portacath fitted on January 17th so that I no longer have to suffer the indignities of being a pin cushion every time I need a blood test taken or a cannula fitted for CT scans, its not quite gone to plan and I have ended up inContinue reading “Gourmet dresses……”

A lot has happened, well it would do as it was November when I last posted – Christmas is over and we are into another year, 2022, what will that bring?

Soon after treatment I went to write my Will and while itContinue reading “How many steps do I take?”

Holiday’s were never a luxury in our household, more like a necessity. When we were younger I can remember Mum & Dad packing all three kids (plus luggage) into the back of the little yellow mini we had at the time, to drive to see my Grandparents in Switzerland. To save money (and a fewContinue reading “Dying for a holiday”

Say my name like it’s the last time,Live today like its your last night,We want to cry but we know its alright,Cause I’m with you and your with me,Butterflies, butterflies, we were meant to fly,You and I, you and I, colors in the sky,We could rule the world someday,Somehow but we’ll never be as brightContinue reading “Butterflies….”

Getting results back is always worrying and after the CT scan that noticed I had something in my head but couldn’t confirm what, the next MRI and results were going to nerve racking. Knowing a meeting was scheduled Thursday and I would get to know soon after softened the wait. And when the Breast CancerContinue reading “What’s next?”

I have read that maybe a bucket list might not be the best thing to do in my situation because the heartbreak of not fulfilling them all would be too much, I disagree, they are the things that get me up in the morning when I have had a bad night, the excitement of beingContinue reading “#makingmemories -lots”
