Biting the Bullet
So – got an email from Prof's PA earlier, asking me to come for my apointment on 3rd March rather than the 11th. Given that they have my recent blood results already, my immediate thoughts were all around 'is something uregntly wrong or is it just his diary that's moved or are they calling me as…

Scrumpy, meet Oliver. Oliver, meet Scrumpy
So – had a rather successful introduction of younger godson, Oliver to mad dogbeast yesterday in the park. Oliver and his twin little sisters Abbie and Emma, all donned their mini wellies and came out with Mum, Dad and 3 scooters and various helmets for protection for a park walk with us and the four…

Overnight guests
We seem to have a house with two small Eurasian beauties in it – one having her nappy changed upstairs (thank god that particular explosion happended while mummy was still here) and the other one scoffing a rainbow ice lolly sitting on a bar stool in our kitchen, complaining that Scrumpy is sniffing her feet.…

Been a bit of a quiet week..
For the first time since starting my Brand Mojo stuff, it's been a bit quiet. Not the work so much, as I had a flurry at the beginning of January, but overall. Not enough social stuff to sate my inner beast! I guess that's what happens when you try and lose weight – it seems…

A chilly night out
So – decided at New Year that we needed to get off our butts, especially on a Sunday night, when obviously they are usually glued to the sofa like extra determined limpets. Hence we found ourselves last night, with the long-suffering Janine & Ross, in Guildford's Spectrum Centre Ice Rink watching the Guildford Flyers (I think?)…

It’s shaping up to be a great 2014
Even as I write this, I'm thinking 'hmm. fingers crossed that's not a 'famous last words' prophecy… but here's hoping the plans that we're forming all do come through. It's been a slightly dull Jan so far – well, Jan is rarely the wowiest month is it? Probably much to do with us trying to shed…

Hyde Park 10k – tick!
Rather nice to wake up this morning in the safe knowledge that I will never have to 'run' a 10k again.. But yesterday was a triumph, to use a jubilant Helen Vickery's words (similarly astounded that she got round the course, I suspect). A great turn out from the girls, their friends and random neighbours, work…

The Myeloma gang
With the first of Nicky & Sophie's hideous, oops i mean marvellous 12 mega-acticvities to raise money for Myeloma UK looming all too visibly this Sunday, I thought a photo of some of the other people that this will help might be a good idea. Here are 8 of us at the Slug Waterloo last…

Myeloma Meet Up
So – decided that I would indeed go and join the proposed meeting-up of a bunch of the newer joiners to my Under 50's Myeloma forum. I'd acutally suggested they meet at the Slug in Waterloo (easy for me!) and they chose it, so thought it might be rude not to. Thank god one of…

Last Day of Carbs
Tomorrow is almost upon us – the first day of (hopefully this time!) never being quite as ginormous as I now find myself, post-xmas gorging and generally living life to the (usually far too) full. Hence today's 'for the last time, stuff it all in' major carb-count, consisting of: – a slice of breakfast toast,…
