BUSY, BUSY, BUSY
I have had a really busy weekend. Yesterday, I bet you can't guess what we did in the morning??????? Yes, we went riding. It was great. I rode Snowy who was very well behaved and I cantered and jumped with him really well. Emily rode Roos who she is not too sure of but still had fun. Then we went to hospital for chemo. I had some more Vincristine and some IV methotrexate which took about an hour. Both Rubys were there so it was nice to see them and also Louis is still there and I always have fun with him. Big Ruby was very bored though because she was waiting for a blood transfusion and platelets which had to come from Sheffield. Sorry I couldn't stay to keep you company Ruby and I hope it all went ok in the end.
Today, I had a very lazy morning watching TV and lying around in bed. Daddy decided we should have roast pork for lunch today but we didn't really like it so won't be doing that again! Then I went to my friend Freya's 9th birthday party this afternoon. It was great fun and we dressed up like St Trinians girls and did a dance routine. I was one of the team leaders and loved it. Happy Birthday Freya.
I am very tired tonight so off to bed now. No treatment until next Monday and then some more Vincristine and IV Methotrexate until I reach toxicity!!! That will either be that my platelets or neutrophils are too low to have any more or my mouth and lips will be ulcered and blistered and I won't be able to have any more. I hope it will be my bloods are not good enough but last time I had to go into hospital because my mouth was so sore and I had to be on morphine! Yukkkkkk!!!
We heard some very sad news this week. My friend Tom from Ward 27 died. He had cancer in his bones and had already lost one of his arms. He was really good fun and always made me smile. He used to tell us all jokes and play bingo and lots of games at the hospital with us. I will really miss him. Bye Bye Tom.
One last thing. I keep forgetting to tell you that the chickens are laying! Not very often, but we have had 5 eggs now. Digby found the last two under a bush in the garden. He was so funny, he was really excited and started running around the garden then came to Daddy and put first one egg down on the floor very gently and then went to get another. Clever boy!!! Emily put them in her pocket and broke one!

Dear Mima
I love the dancing picture, it looks like you had a fantastic party. Not long until your 9th birthday. Glad the hens are finally laying eggs too!
Lots of love Auntie Nic Nocs
Hi Mima
It's great to read all your news. Sorry we haven't written for a while. Daisy has gone to bed early this evening as she is having an ear operation tomorrow morning. Our hens love pasta - they are laying every day at the moment. They did get a bit lazy at Christmas - I think it was the cold!
Very sorry to hear about your friend Tom.
Keep writing.

Well as usual you've been very busy.The photographs are great.You all look like the real St Trinians.
Glad to hear the chickens are laying and wasn't Digby clever to find the egg and carry it without breaking it.
Seems the horse riding is going well.Good fun isn't it and really good exercise too.
The fund raising is fantastic the recent events have done really well.
Not long till your birthday and of course it is Grannys as well.A really big one for her.
Hope we see some photographs.
Thinking of you as always
lots of love

Hi Mima, What a great weekend - the pictures are fantastic - you look born to be a St Trinian's pupil!!I'm very impressed with Digby - can't imagine our dogs doing that - they would eat the chickens and the eggs! Well I spent most of my weekend standing on a cold touchline - just for a change....
I am very sorry to hear the sad news about Tom - I remember you talking about him. You have some lovely memories of him and I am sure will miss him.
I hope your treatment next week is OK and your mouth holds up - hopefully speak to you before,
lots of love, Jemma Ef xxx
Oh My goodness!!
It has been so long since I left you a message... and I can not believe everything that you have been up to!!
Moules by the sea looked fabulous, I love them, and I don't suppose they could have been any more fresh than those? How does daddy measure up as chef? Has Lino got some competition do you think?
Was the weather good, it looked super. There really is nothing like a holiday by the sea. I have dreams of living by the sea eventually.
And those chickens!! What fun!! Lucia and Elisa always have fun chasing chickens at Lucy and Esme's, if we had the space I would definately like to have some too, and such scrumptious eggs, Yum Yum!
I am so sorry about you friend Tom, I am sure that you will miss him, but I bet he is up in heaven smiling down and cheering you on!
I am also sorry that is so long since I have been in touch.. life has been so hectic recently, I don't seem to have any time to keep up with my personal stuff. But I do keep up with your web site.
I especially love the photos, and am so impressed with your wig. I have not seen it before, I think it looks fab. You look especially good in the St Trinians out fit... very worrying... do you know how naughty those St Trinians girls are?
I hope that your next batch of treatment is going ok, and that you are not having too many horrible side effects.
Keep smiling, gorgeous girl, and I hope we see you around some time soon.
Lots of love from Sarah, and Lino and The Girls too!!
