sorry everyone, I did delete after posting as it is a bit depressing for this forum! Thanks popps, I'm sure they will both be fine just a shock that mums came back, but excellent that she was onto it straight away.
When we moved here I intended going back every couple of years to see family, I did go back for two years running, mums 60th and sisters wedding, but since having baby it hasn't been as easy. Two friends left yesterday with their baby boy to see his grandparents for the first time, they were so excited!

Everyone! kwprwn,Jude,lardlyl et al! This is the bitch about moving so far! It is a killer decision! It aint Jersey,and that's what kills me.
But then-hey-we moved here knowing the consequences-I mean,hell,everyone knows someone who gets cancer,everyone knows the possible outcome! But the sufferers understand our predicament as much as we feel guilty about it! We-pops,cottage,lardyl,Jude (so sorry mate),Stevie,Jane,Lools,NG, etc,we are our support! You to me and me to you.
I guess I realise I accept this the minute I agree to move. It's my life,and life-and death-goes on.
I'm just trying to be happy.

Yep I know what you mean

I have just found out approx 3 weeks ago that my 90 yr old grandmother has breast cancer and they are not operating due to age and that anaesthetic they gave her to try and do the op caused a mini stroke so no operation

also my dad has been diagnosed with diabetes...he is over 65 also

we have set some money aside for that eventuallity but hopefully wont nedd it in the immediate future

but everyone is different, and I know that circumstances vary, but its a choice all be it a difficult one

Yep, you do rely on friends more, be they in person or via tinternet!

It's been ages since I've been in here, hope you're all well. Just a swift half (10 pints) please.
So what's going on? Oscar still resident maestro?

Hiya StevieB glad to hear your move to NZ is sweet.

I've just read last nights posts- whoa Danny thats quite a question about being so far away from family at times of need. I've always promised my parents that I'd go home if there was a problem. (never needed to when we lived in Singapore though).
My mother asked me what I'd do for support - that was when we thought we were going to OZ, I said I had friends there. BUT I don't have many close friends in NZ so it's a bit more of a concern. Hubby and I and kids are a good team and as a family we look after each other.
My sister has just finished radiotherapy for breast cancer and is fine and there wasn't much I could do to help her except phone her so I could do that from NZ.

My boss just phoned me to say the child I see today isn't coming in so I suddenly have a free morning! I quick drink for me then its off to pack a few boxes!
cheers

Morning all-kids safely packed away-hope all is well. No hangover. That's worrying!
