After a weekend of feeling 'not so great' (apart from a lovely trip to see friends and their adorable baby, Fergus :-)), I am left feeling very much recharged today, after my two lovely Tiny Talk classes. Not only did they lift my spirits but I was presented with a gift from all my Tiny Talkers. I had a busy time after class, collecting Isla from nursery and then taking her to ballet, then had to go straight to hospital for my mid chemo blood test. So, I didn't get a chance to open my present properly until I got home later.
Well, what an exciting present, a box full of different shapes and sizes of parcels....Isla enjoyed opening them with me :-) And here come the tears.......I LOVE absolutely everything and was overcome with the absolute kindness and generosity of everyone who has contributed and the thoughtfulness of those who organised it and chose the items. I was totally in tears and just feeling very, very loved.
I really cannot thank you all enough, it is just the loveliest present I have ever received. I sit here writing this wearing the lovely snuggly Sea Salt socks (one of my favourite brands), I already know what I'm going to get at White stuff with the gift voucher (another one of my favourite brands)....I spotted a dress a few weeks ago I love and I also need some new slippers for going into hospital when I have surgery. I am looking forward to having a lovely massage and probably some reflexology with the 'pampering' money. I love Burts Bees stuff and the top to toe set is the perfect thing as the drug I change to after Christmas may make my nails all horrid and fall off (I know....just when you thought it couldn't get any worse!!!)...so they recommend lots of moisturiser day and night to keep nails strong. Then I opened the parcel with the case for the kindle.....that's a bit strange I thought as I don't have a kindle...but there was one more parcel.....no way....they didn't get me a kindle!!! WOW! So exciting, THANK YOU! I love it and it will be so useful to keep in my bag and have something to read while waiting for appointments and killing time in hospitals. You are all amazing and have just made me feel so so special and loved over the past few weeks.
So, more happy tears for me today, I like those kind.

I am so sorry you are going through this, but I am so pleased that you have so many friends and Tiny talkers to help you get through it. Love from Ali and Ella. xx
