I am so happy to share with you my CAT scan was clear 🎉so apart from having to up my inhalers my consultant was very pleased with my progress and I don’t have to go back now for 12 months 🤩I do believe you have all played a big part in my recovery and I thank you all so much❤️
I cannot thank you all enough for all your ❤️and support our little family are so lucky to have you in our lives 🥰he made me such a proud wife he’s been so brave as this heartless disease sucked the life out of him he still tried to smile right up to the very end 🥰
And so it starts again it’s been 6 months since my op 🤔doesn’t time fly when you are having fun 🙄😂😂😂so time to see if the big C is behaving 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

Something I wish I didn’t have to share but you have all been amazing and our family are so grateful to have each and everyone of you in our lives your support means far much more than you will ever know and for those who say online friendships are not real they are so wrong ❤️
1st attempt at custard slices today 😍pretty chuffed and learnt a few things for next time 😁 just scared of cutting it up now once it’s set 🤔I might just leave it like this Tommy wouldn’t mind 😂😂😂
It’s been a while since I made one of these giant 🍩 cakes and I loved every second 🤩the pictures never do justice to the size but maybe if I say there’s 12 eggs in them that might help 😂😂😂😂
The last couple of days I have felt more like myself😁 and even though my leg is still not right I didn’t want to miss out on the
