Are you going to post your pictures?

Argh, stupid work. (home now though!)

A preview picture is posted in the photopost.............


I'm going to do a whole thread about our holiday, so much to tell and show.
Though principally I'm sort of against holiday threads, cos it's not daily life, and peoples rose tints will get brighter... but I can't help myself

Funny you ask. I was wondering that too, and then... I got an email. She hasn't been able to log onto the forum for a few days...very strange.

Her mum sounds ok she says, but tired. Bundy's going to Jersey again Monday.

Message from Bundy:

Hello everyone,

Well, for reasons best known to itself, my system here seems to have
chucked me out of the forum.....vicious rumours of a firewall abound,
or, worse still, maybe they're onto me here at work and they've blocked
the forum. Yikes!!! Either way, I can't log on from work, and I don't
get a lot of time to log on from home, so Simone is doing a little stint
as my secretary to post this (thanks Simone. Again!). And you wouldn't
believe the amount of work I've managed to get done this week without
the distraction of BE!

I'm off to Jersey on Monday to see the BundyParents and find out how my
mum is getting on with her chemo. She sounds alright on the phone, but
that's certainly no judge of the situaiton since she is the very
definition of putting on a brave face. Will have to see her in person to
assess her condition....and find out how BundyDad is getting on too.
Round 1 of the chemo treatment seems to have been ok: BM was ice-capped,
as promised ('darling, it looked like a tea cosy with wires') and spent
a merry time talking to her cousin who had accompanied her and munching
ham sarnies, which doesn't sound too bad. She has adopted her chemo
nurse (this is Jersey, everyone gets there own nurse) as surrogate
daughter number 500 and is busy sorting out said nurse's love life. The
chemo left her feeling a bit tired, but well enough to go out for a
zimmer along the pier. She is dosed up to the eyeballs with
anti-sickness pills since vomiting whilst a) wearing an industrial
corset b) having an unstable spine and c) being unable to bend over is a
little, erm, trying. Anyway, we'll see how she gets on. The consultants
refuse to give timescales any more because she just keeps proving them
wrong!

Meanwhile I've been plodding on at work adding probable redundancy or
possible job reconfiguration to my list of *challenges*. Sometimes I
wonder if someone hasn't decided that last year and this year are my
years for learning how to lose it all and start again.....

Updates to follow from Jersey.

Bundy

Bundy, just to let you know that Im thinking off you.

When you say about losing it all and starting again, you havent lost it all, cos whilst you have the attitude and determination that you have (obviously from your mum!), you will never lose it all.

You'll just do it again differently.

Take care and say hello to your mum.

Love Sam
