Hi everyone,

It's been such a long time since I last wrote! I have moved jobs again, been to visit my new home (I love Bristol!), made some new friends and my mum is ever onwards and upwards. Perhaps the best news is that all the tests came back negative on her post-op biopsies, so we hope the cancer isn't going to come back.

I am also going to be an aunt! Have recently seen the first scan of my nephew/niece and my little sister is thrilled. Unfortunately, her joy is not shared by members of the family, which is a shame and it's also caused no end of trouble, with family member being set against family member. My brother has now disowned me (!) although what he means by that I don't know... Apparently I am evil and manipulative. Obviously hasn't looked at a dictionary lately.

We also have 2 new cats, a little grey tabby and a big long-haired bruiser (ginger and white), who decided I'm their mummy and like lots of cuddles. Both of them sleep with me; the grey one just curls up, but the long-haired monster will decide he needs to feel love at 2 in the morning! He's getting better though, now just tending to sleep on my bed, although I'm lucky if I can find space to sprawl myself as they tend to take up the whole bed!

I am also injured! I have managed to partially tear the tendons and ligaments in my left foot, due to a pretty bad fall on a night out (I was SOBER at the time and wearing flats; just an accident!), but I'm off the painkillers and should be back to full driving/dancing/gym-going in another 3 weeks or so. Still hurts though, but limping is less.

Also recently caught up with a lot of my old friends from 10 years ago, which was lovely and they were all really nice (which after my loopy and psychotic behaviour back then I really didn't deserve) and I'm hoping to stay in touch. Behaved somewhat badly and don't think I'm ging to be forgiven by someone in particular, but I hope so before next reunion! It must be said Chambers Street Reunion was amazing and the music was ace, even if it did have to be in Teviot. I even didn't clear the floor when DJing although I kept my session short'n'sweet!!!!!

Next post will be soon!
