What a week it's been so far and it's only Wednesday...First Mum's birthday, then Jack's, then mine...

Jack had a lovely birthday on Monday and took opening all his presents in his stride.

I got thoroughly spoilt today and have received lots of lovely presents from very generous family and friends.

Was at Mum and Dad's this afternoon and there was a ring on the bell so I went to answer the door and at first I didn't know who it was standing there...bugger me it was only Ray...he'd been to visit Sylvia and Dom and thought he'd pop into Mum and Dad's to see how I was doing!!

I haven't seen him for over 11yrs, of course I get to hear how he is through Ang and Hilary. Considering he's had bowel cancer he looked very well indeed and I'm not sure if it was a brave face or not but he seemed really positive now his chemo has been sorted out.

He's 'step' grandad to two little boys and seems to be enjoying life - I'm glad he is.

So another year older and one I thought I'd possibly not see 3yrs ago...how lucky I am that treatments seem to be working for me and I've been given so much more time with my gorgeous Jack and of course Jon.

Looking forward to the weekend as we have Mandy, Nick and the girls staying....

Love Clare xx
