Last Wednesday I had my last treatment of radiotherapy and I am pleased to say all went well. So far no side affects, and I am feeling much better every day, although if I overdo it one day I am still paying for it the next!
We had an extremely busy weekend, and I must say it was good to get involved. Firstly we finally found the tiles for our new shower room, which is in the loft. We saw so many tiles we struggled to find anything good, then we popped into The Extra Special Tile Company in Reigate. After some really good customer service, which started with Sarah saying she "had a rough idea what she wanted, but would not know exactly untill she saw it". The guy found some really great samples and within 15 mins we were sorted, highly recommended. We ordered them there and then, and had a call wednesday to say they were in.
Saturday we choose the new bathroom suite, as well as doing the food shopping. Now as I am not working at the moment, I should really do this during the week, but never mind. We also had a quick trip to the allotment, and I was really pleased to see my grapevines I had transplanted to the greenhouse coming on very well. It all looks a bit messy but nothing a little hard work won't sort out. In fact we are having a "help Dene with his allotment" day on Saturday 4th May. Free bacon roll's, tea & coffee and a cardio-vascular work out to anyone that wants to help out. Please email me or post a comment if you can help, so I can sort the catering.
Sunday was also busy, with Max playing football. It was a pleasure to see how well the team has come on over this year, they had a 2-2 draw with a team they lost 5-0 to earlier in the season, and to be honest they should have won. The highlight of the weekend for me however was the visit of Kate, Christian and Addison. Addison is only a couple of months old, and is a real little sweetie. I thought Sarah might get broody, but no she was ok. It was great to see them, and you can see the love and affection in Kate and Christian's faces.
This week has also been busy, although I have had to take it easy on a couple of days. The loft extension is now only about 2 weeks from being finished, and we are really pleased with it. I also managed a little work down the allotment, including cutting the grass on my new lawn mower. The 3 I have at home all died, so a new one had to be purchased. thanks also to Ross for clearing all the wood for me. today I had my first 2 weekly check up following my change in treatment, and all seems good so far. Well good in the way that they told me I could go after my blood test, and they would ring me if there were any problems. Well the phone has not yet gone, so I am assuming all is ok.
Next week will also be busy, but more about that another day ...
