What have you been doing today?

[astarra]

What a day already ES, hope your DD feels better soon. 

[EmeraldSue]

Thanks. I've had a coffee and spent some time here, so I'd better get cracking and decide what biscuits to make. Choices, choices,.........

[astarra]

if you can't decide, just make them all!

Dede my thoughts are with you all. Chemo is improved every day. It is becoming more direct for what is needed. I have a friend going through it at the moment and he is taking tablets. He is tired, and Has a rash but over all is feeling better than he has for a while.
Some people don't even lose their hair nowadays.
Remember there are things to help your Mum. One of the best is the makeup classes and things like that. They are really fun and help to make people better at a horrid time. I'm not sure what they are called exactly, I will ask.
Hugs to you all.

[astarra]

Are the classes called look good feel better? Think it is.
The website is www.lgfb. (something, can't remember if it is org, org.au or com.au.)
HTH.

Look good feel better classes, can help.

My friend did them 2 years ago, sadly we lost her to cancer...

[Amy :-)]

Thats sad Robyn, sorry to hear that

Look Good Feel Better is great. If your mum can get to a class I'm sure it would be beneficial for her Mandi

Jeninwa you can buy leatherwood honey in Woolworths. I love it too.

Just seeing this now cookie, I did buy some at the Fremantle markets once but it wasn't the same, it's heat treated so it can be brought in to WA.

Dede my thoughts are with your family, it's such a hard thing to be going through with the lead up to Christmas as well.

DH has arrived home.

Whilst he was on the flight an ambulance had been called & MIL rushed to hospital.

Thats all we know atm

Frozzie apparently WA is the only state that doesn't have some infection or similar that bees get. That is the reason you can't bring honey in. Varieties of fruit fly and apple "scab" (??) are the reason for the fruit. Potatoes here are also free of some bug that is in other states too. As Jen said they are very strict indeed.

Thats interesting as dh asked that exact question down at yandina about the bee sickness that is affecting europe and were told they dont have that problem in oz lol.. Oops sounds like she is giving the wrong info..

[Frozzie]

Oh hally hugs and how frustrating... Hope mil is ok???  Is it hot again in sydney?  Probably doesnt help..

Mandi thoughts are with your mum too.. There are so many types of chemo these days.. My mil was on pills too... From what ive seen loss of appetite is a big thing with chemo... And keeping them positive also seems to be the key to getting better..

Amy that explains alot with you taking care of your mum when your sick... Once again howlucky she is to have you..

Astarra some big hugs and kisses... A sad time for you too xo

[Yvette]

A lovely 25 degrees in Sydney today

Hope all works out good Hally

Hallex ...    Hope things improve soon. Glad your DH is safely home. 

Thanx Froz.
