Hello Mima, Its not good that you are feeling horrible and don't feel like putting colours on your blog - not a very good way to spend the new year. I'm sorry you feel like that. Hopefully the week will be over soon and you can get back to your normal perky self again. Keep your chin up. Can't wait to hear what presents you got for Christmas. Thinking of you and sending my love Kathryn xxx
Hi Mima,
Happy Christmas and Happy New Year. It sounds as though you had a full on Christmas. Sorry that you are feeling unwell at the moment, just think hopefully this time next year you will be through with you treatment, no more needles or steriods, fingers X for a healthy year for you Mima and that your treatment comes to an end as planned.
We had a great Christmas in Norfolk, lots of food and lots of presents, how spoiling.
Love to you all, Venetiaxx
