WELCOME

Hi all,



This is my blog, purpose is to update all my friends and family on how I am and what myself, the family and our friends have planned for the time I have left.



I will include updates on my treatments, how I am feeling and what we are planning as a family. I do have a lot planned so don't expect daily updates, hopefully this will give you some general information but I am happy to answer questions and all suggestions are welcome.

"March" ahead

Hi all,

Well once again time is flying by and its three weeks since my last post...I only know that cos I have my treatment tomorrow. Here's hoping it continues going well because I feel fine which is a suprise seeing it is now a year since my diagnosis, at which time I was told I would have a year "could be more - could be less". Well as always I have been planning 4 months ahead and as I feel fine and I am carrying on regardless and enjoying each day.

We are averageing one holiday a month at the moment which is a first for me but is a fantastic way to spend our time....that sounds flamboyant but its not. We have just returned from Centre Parcs in Sherwood Forest which was a free holiday provided by the Willow Foundation, we went with the kids and Wendy and Ray and I have to say had a fantastic time. I've only been to Centre Parcs once before (Debi's Hen Party) so I was keen we had a chalet near the centre of everything which we did have, that said I still managed to get lost on every trip....I used to be good at map reading but failed miserably there, some scout leader I am!

(as a quick aside - when I do pop my clogs donations to the willow foundation rather than flowers will be appreciated. Money spent having fun rather than wilting flowers is much more productive...but enough of that I still have a long way to go)

So all in all we have had a great weekend and are now back in the thick of things getting ready for doing some proper work....oh yes I know its been a while. John and Barb are taking a well earned break from looking after us and our kids so we are now in charge of the shop. Do any of you want a new kitchen? .....It is quite sad but I am excited at the prospect of working in the show room, and Craig is looking forward to some time away from the house so we are shuffling who does kids and who does shop...we both want to do shop but my not being able to drive and open the shutters will limit me. Ah well, looks like house work and shopping for some days.

Other plans if any of you are interested are a Jamie at home party next Thursday. Think tuppawear party but with Jamie stuff you can't buy in the shop. If any of you are at a loose end you are more than welcome to come and watch Cal and I have a go at selling Jamie products. It should be fun.

Well as always I am dribbling on about what we are doing and probably boring you all senseless, seeing as you all have proper jobs... Craig is just picking the kids up which means I have limited time on the internet so best get on. (next job is looking online for a trampoline....need to loose some of this weight somehow!)

Ok take care all - see you soon.

Toni

  1. Hi Toni,
    It's been a few years (ok nearly 20) but Possy mentioned your blog to Paul so here I am. I'm really sorry to hear what you and your family are going through - but think your attitude is fantastic, you've made me re-think my priorities - thank you.
    Hope you and your family enjoy the trampoline - take care,
    Emma Moulton (Meredith) x

  3. I remember reading the news on Facebook about your diagnosis, just before Easter last year and was so devastated for you. In the last twelve months, your chirpy updates, your wonderful outlook and your positivity have really made me take a step back and look at what really matters!! Love reading the updates and am looking forward to hearing about your plans for your first wedding anniversary!! :o) x ps- hope you found a trampoline, I've been doing "salsacise" to try and tone up and lose weight but I don't think am committed as I should be... ;o) x Love Anne (Burns!) xx
