Well some good news, I've got a salon! I've got the whole of the first floor above a good hairdressers here in Crewe. Its so very exciting! Have started decorating with a lot of help from my dad! Now just need to find a beauty therapist to rent a room from me, argh! Well, lots of head aches and sleepless nights but hoping to launch on 4th Oct. Will keep you posted xx

Thanks for all your comments and support yesterday. I asked if she wanted me to visit and her and her husband both said yes. I went last night and thought I'd be a blubbering mess but because she was so strong and matter of fact about it all I managed to be too. I don't think its hit her yet and she's not been through the angry stage, she just seems very accepting. She didn't look too bad, a bit weary and slightly yellow, which will get a lot worse but at least they can now try to control the pain...

Hve had some bad news this weekend that a friend of mine has been diagnosed with cancer of the pancreas and liver. Its non-operable and there is no treatment available for her. I'm going to visit her tonight in hospital and just don't know what to expect when I see her. she's only 51 and has a grandson who's only one. I just feel so sad for her and her family. I don't know what to say to her when I see her either.

Thanks for your comments geeks, they cheered me up.

Anyway, as it turns out the childminding went better than planned. Emily was quite a good girlk and we had relatively few incidents! No casualty visits which was good!

I left hubby in bed hoping a nice lie in would alleviate the bad mood. (I woke up with a crick in my neck cos of having to try and stay as far away from him in bed as possible!) Anyway...He came down at 20 to 10 (!!!) and said he'd only been in a bad mood...

Having such a crap night and need to let off some steam.
Mia, my 3 year old is playing up and won't go to sleep. spent 45 mins stroking her hair (usually works) and she wasn't even trying to go to sleep. Hubby also tried when I'd totally blown my top with her, to no avail. He's pissed off with me coz he then missed 15 mins of the stupid football. hardly my fault.

then...my 4 month old baby was just dropping off when the sodding phone rang and woke her up. It was my sister-in-law...
