Just had a very distressed call from my mother. The hospital have confirmed she has leukaemia. Which we all knew last week - the news has just sunk in.

In slightly better news, step-father-out-law has agreed to chemotherapy for his bowel cancer. We were not expecting that so good news.

Thanks.

Even better news. I am off at 5pm to take the twins to dinner!

Will they pick McD or KFC or wimpy? I offer them anywhere they want and its always one of those. I suppose at least it is cheap.

ClientCo, while celebrating National Women in Engineering Day tweeted, which was picked up by the Prime Minister's office and retweeted, ClientCo was understandibly impressed so plastered it over the intranet as a screenshot, not realising they also picked up a troll reply in the screenshot

Phone call from MrsB.

Cat has been in the wars again. Another trip to the vets, this time with an infected bite on the side of his head. Too close to his one remaining eye to risk lancing it while he is awake and he's too old to risk sedation. Sent home with heavy duty anitbiotics, painkillers and cleaing swabs.

Is the cat fighting another cat?

Oh goody. Phone call from my brother. I should have known I would not get a straight answer from my mother. My mother actually has weeks to live. The leukaemia is very acute and has 80% burst cells which is bad.

Will see how she settles. But now planning how to get the kids to see her. If she wants to see them.

She has refused chemotherapy. I have to understand the reasons why before deciding if good or bad. If I was 84 with weeks to live, I would not want to go through pain and misery to get another month!

Sorry to hear that, Brillo
