There IS life after cancer. Thursday, July 07, 2011. We also finally had a visit from the health visitor which was very helpful - it was good to talk to someone who is experienced with the children similar to Poppet, who is not a social worker! And after that downer - well everything is actually feeling good and sunny (despite a lot more rain)! And she loved it - ate LOADS, saw her first steam train, had her first pub lunch, and behaved beautifully (well, mainly! And it's those things, and the millions m...

There IS life after cancer. Friday, April 01, 2011. Introductions - coming to our house and meeting the cats. I think the last few days have been the most emotional. It's hard to put into words the feelings that we have both been feeling. Apart from being exhausted! But it's been a mixture of delight and terror and sadness and joy. Another long drive back to the FCs and then home this time. Was weird to this that this was the last night in the house just the two of us humans. Links to this post. Most chi...

There IS life after cancer. Friday, March 05, 2010. Joseph Pilates was born in Germany in 1883 from Greek ancestory. A sickly child he decided to devote himself to improving his health through fitness, coming to beleive that lifestyle, posture and inefficient breathing were the source of bad health in "modern" times. He devised a series of exercises and became a gymnast and body builder, eventually moving to England and working with various bodies, including Scotland Yard, training people in self defence.

There IS life after cancer. Wednesday, June 15, 2011. 10 weeks and it feels like it has always been so. Poppet has been with us for exactly 10 weeks and in that time we've had 4 molars, 2 colds (us included), some tears and lots of laughter. There are also times when she needs a lot of reassurance and she is very unsettled - especially after meetings and contact visits, but we'll have less soon and she will hopefully realise that she is staying with us and won't be moving again. And how are we doing?

A continuing journey: It's a Match!

There IS life after cancer. Thursday, March 10, 2011. Finally last night we went to matching panel - and it was a yes. We meet our little girl in less than two weeks. We are feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, emotional but mostly excited and joyful. This is a summary of the process that we've been through. I may have written bits about it previously, but hopefully this gives an overall picture of what we've gone through! In November we had Approval Panel which was nerve wracking - I won't lie! Next was the ...

There IS life after cancer. Thursday, February 18, 2010. I get a lot of people asking me about what Pilates is. Firstly, the name is Pilates and not Pilate. It's named after Joseph Pilates who founded the movent early in the 20th century. More about him later! Most people have seen or heard of Pilates in the gym as mat classes. These can be great but often the classes are large and people come and go so you might not get the full benefit if you've not had the basic foundation before you start. Which is a...

There IS life after cancer. Thursday, January 28, 2010. Of cars and craziness. I have decided that Prius drivers are the new BMW drivers - but what makes them worse is not only do they not seem to have indicators and like to undertake, they also seem to have a holier than thou attitude because they are doing their "bit" for the environment. I wonder what else they've done? Of course it annoys me even more that they don't have to pay congestion charge. Links to this post. Chicken and mushroom Risotto for 2.
