MIMA'S STORY: Tuesday 18th December 2007

Tuesday 18th December 2007

Only 7 days until Christmas, then 6 tomorrow and then 5, then 4, 3, 2, 1 and then yippedy doodah it is Christmas day!!! Not that I am excited or anything!

It has been really cold today and as my hair is falling out again I have had a very cold head - why does that have to happen at Christmas, just when it is getting cold. I bet it will snow soon just when I have no hair left at all.

I am eating my supper, guess what it is................pasta with broccoli and carrots and I have made some strawberry whip for pudding. Emily and I have been to the Jefferson's for lunch today and played with those naughty boys and their gerbils Hercules and something. We all had pancakes for pudding which were yummy.

I hope all the nurses are excited because I am going to Ward 27 tomorrow with my sack of presents (well, wheelchair full cos I can't carry them all!) Ho Ho Ho!!!
