He is sparkling today thank you.... he has taken his brother off shopping to West Quay!
Allows me to do some decorating.... the bathroom..... wish I had not started this!
Amazing news have a top weekend !Allows me to do some decorating.... the bathroom..... wish I had not started this!
It does seem
We have dodged the nausea this time round! Must be good tablets!
I think I might take them all out for a fat boy fry up tomorrow morning!!
well its been a week since the last update. All has been ok to be fair. The stronger anti sickness tablets seem to do the job and Jack has had a reasonably normal week or so. The next session is Tuesday next week - and that is three of the twelve that was initially prescribed. As I am a bit of a keen stats man, I have Jack talking we are 1/4 of the way through, much better than saying 9 to go!
Anyway we had some amazing news this week. A lady called Sally Mills who works for the Chelsea FC Foundation called the Mrs. We now have an invitation to the game on Saturday (remember the boys bought me a ticket anyway). But instead of me and Jack being in the East Stand, and Tom (his brother) being in the Shed End, we are in a hospitality box, with all the trimmings that come with that.
That is not all - Tom and Jack will get to go to the tunnel after the game to meet the players and manager. My god - they are so excited. In fact so am I. We have been told not to wear away team paraphernalia! Lol - as if!!
Jack and I have been overwhelmed with the level of support, not only in "best wishes" messages, but in action as well - and you can see from the offers in this thread. It is utterly amazing.
Which leads me on to the fund raising we are just starting. I assume there is no problem me posting a Just Giving link in this thread? We are planning the standard head shave bit that will work with CLIC Sargents Big Shave Off events. Also my daughter is trying to plan a cancer awareness event through her school - now she has the backing of CLIC Sargent who have been to the school to offer support, also the C of E reverend from my work has contacted the school. However i get the impression the school are not too keen to be involved, which I am disappointed with.
Beth who works for CLIC Sargent (our case worker/social worker/therapist etc) is providing my daughter with a load of support info that can be taken to the school. I just hope we get somewhere as this will be really good for her. She understandably is unfortunately pushed out where priority is toward Jack.
So if anyone has any effective fund raising ideas please let me know. We will utilise my Mrs Face Book to promulgate the link, but effective ideas would be appreciated!
Anyway, here's to a great weekend. Look out for us!

Thanks AB!
4 x 4 Golf Balls? What is that?
ETA.....Ah... I think I understand!! We are not talking Land Rovers running over the greens are we!! I have seen foot golf but never 4 x 4 golf! Might be fun though! We will see Clarkson donut soon!!!!
Lol.... it is early still!!
You mean four 4ball tee times I assume! Mate... I am toying with organising a raffle/draw/auction so I might take you up on that. Thank you masses for the offer.

Land Rovers tearing up the course would probably be more fun and less frustrating but you're right, 4 rounds of golf for 4 people and I'll pick up the tab for a beer and burger each at the end.
Only snag as I say is location. You probably wouldn't want to be more than about an hour or so from the Wirral.

Chelsea get a lot of stick in general but they are bloody brilliant at this type of thing, second to none. Youtube "John Terry Oran Tully" for a prime example.

There was a Southampton fan with a disabled daughter who was posting on another thread recently about there away trip to Chelsea, and what the club provided.
And the hospitality packages at the Bridge are fab. Great food.

So what was the day like. Did you all enjoy it. Shame it was a 0-0 draw, but not a bad game.
The day was ultra amazing! Jack was on top form thankfully and we were looked after in the players families lounge. Loads of food - the lamb was amazing!Good view - the grief Mahrez got for his dive was not screened on TV - but he took it very well. A nicely timed thumbs up to our corner was superb! I think he could fit in at Chelsea!
At about 80 mins we were ushered to the exec Reception for the boys to be given their passes. Then Ron Harris and Gary Chivers came over for a chat before the boys were taken to meet the players. Jacks idol David Luiz wrote a cracking message on the back of his shirt. I waited in the reception where I chatted to the lovely girls behind the desk until John Motson popped in. He speaks in exactly the same tone as he commentates. It is rather amusing! Anyway no photo with JM as I was a bit in awe as he is TV sport royalty!
Absolute cracking day. My thoughts on the game were hazard was all over the place but so clumsy. It did not look it on the TV but my god it is fast! Also, Harry Maguire is built like a church.... massive! Also, we did not look as bad from that corner as we did on TV.
