I am glad you have got Horse of the Year Show to look forward to. That sounds very exciting. I have always wanted to go there. (Must ask for it for a birthday present next year!)
Anyway - yes we know your song. Isn't Rolf Harris a bit mad!? The boys really love the chicken song. In fact, our CD has cracked and we need to get a new one.
I hope you are okay tomorrow. Love J,V,W, E and M xx
PS Did you see me this morning on my pink bike, on the Billesdon Road. (You overtook me!) I might have looked a bit odd, because I couldn't find my cycle helmet. I had to borrow Millie's and it was rather tight, so I had to squash it on the top of my head! Must look for mine!
Hi Mima! Well done for getting player of the week! You must be really proud. I hope this weeks match goes well. Digby is gorgeous! Nice and shiny black - even more glossy than Morgan! I'm sure Digby will help you get through the next few days of horrible steroids. Whenever I have a really horrible day my cats help me get through it. As I am writing this I wonder what you are doing? Are you at the hospital now having vin and christine? I'm sending happy thoughts your way and hoping it is not too bad and you have your friends around you. Horse of the Year Show - I haven't got a clue what it is but I know you love horses so it has to be good - enjoy it whatever it is because I know you love horses and perhaps it will give you something to look forward to when your on your yukky steroids?? Well I better go I have got sooooooooo much work to do for university - and I've only been back 2 days! Lots of love Kathryn xXx P.S. That Prize Pet thing Morgan and Scooby were on page 19. In the last week Morgan came in late at night (when we were all asleep) and weed on our kitchen cupboard yuk yuk yuk. It was my fault because I forgot to put a litter tray out for him so he must have been desperate poor boy. He doesn't like it because I keep telling everyone about it and it gets him embarrassed...
Digby looks so handsom.Your hair looks beautiful.Well done on winning the player of the week trophy. I hope your next match goes well.I do know the Rolf Harris song.I remember it well.I never was much of a fan of his though.Very appropriate for you lesson isn't it.
I hope the steroids are going OK and you don't feel to horrible.
So sorry to here about your friends. I hope Alex does well in the USA and is fixed up when he comes home and that Bethany gets completely well at the end of her treatment.
So Emily is 11 soon. I wonder is she doing something special to celebrate.
Enjoy the horse of the year show. Sounds like a wonderful day out.
Take care lots of love
Sue
Hi Mima
This is my first visit to your blog and I am very impressed. My daughter Mia (3 years old) was diagnosed with ALL 28 days ago and we were back at hospital today for her day 28 bone marrow and methotrexate, while I was sitting nervously in the waiting room I picked up a copy ofContact and there you were on the front cover... it was great to read about you and I couldn't wait to get home and find you!!!!
So the steroids suck!!! That's pretty much what Mia has been trying to tell me for the last month she is supper grumpy, starving hungry all the time and she also has had watery eyes, we are so excited theat the dose is being weaned at least for a while until the next vin and christine ( I like how you write that). Chin up and have a good weekend XXX I will check in again soon and let you know Mia's web address when I get organised so that you can see what she is like... XX
