Rough

Commence bleating................
Another bad week post chemo#4. As expected the hangover gets slightly worse and lasts a bit longer each time. Spent a few afternoon's in bed for an hour or two. Symptoms are still the same - an indescribable uuurrghh feeling which lasts all day (which is eased by lying down!), everything still tastes weird, hypersensitivity to certain smells - especially cooking smells, they really set me off (nausea). My bowels can't make their minds up whether its skitters or cannonballs! My hair is still coming out in clumps when I pull it - my heed is starting to look like a moth eaten couch. Quite a few headaches this week as well, a couple of them were migraines. I'm not getting any slimmer either, mainly because of Doctor Daz's fool-proof cure for nausea - a Cadbury's cream egg, on the hour, every hour! Still drinking loads of orange juice, I've read somewhere that this is some sort of cure-all - it certainly makes toilet-time interesting!
End of bleating.

House hunting again tomorrow - only if we get off the island, the weather looks shite again. We had quite a list of houses to look at, but ringing around yesterday to book viewings, we've found most of them are now sold - which leaves us two to view and one of those is under offer, the other is North of Aberdeen - they eat their bairns up there yi knaa!!!

Feeling a bit more lively this morning, might even venture out on the bike for an hour. I've a new bike on order via the 'Cycle 2 Work' scheme. If you have this benefit at work (government sponsored) you must take advantage - Any Halfords bike up to the value of £1100 for half price - yi canna whack it!

Headaches that turn into mirgrains.... you must be watching the toon against the mighty Boro??

Keep up the good work son (on the diet front of course!!!)...

You'll be able to join the Shearwater cycling club. With the Iron man and King rat as the head of pedal power.

Hope the house hunting is going well, you could always ask john G. to build you one. Even Govey has bought a house!!!
