Edit … typos sorry lol … apologies if it still is a bit messy !!

Evening all, well i have nothing to report except the effects of the day 1 day 8 tablet have floored me!!

I woke at 6am thinking it was 8 and got up !! I thought I had my day planned out which was catching up on speaking and seeing friends and just having a nice Sunday! !!

ALAS I FELL ASLEEP AND HAVE JUST WOKE UP!

I had a few scary, waking moments with Callum standing over me holding what looks like a pint of blood, It was actually my daily juice that he makes me every day! All sorts of goodness in there beets, spinach, etc etc he chucks all sorts in there! (Recipe is on the website … jokes)!

Anyway I have text to apologise and reschedule, sorry again Jen,Mel and Hev who I planned on catching up with! I PROMISE I’ll call tomorrow ###

I am v v excited tho as I am going to LONDON on Friday to stay at one of my oldest friends gorgeous flat in Mayfair so we are going to be tourist wankers for the weekend!! Im so lucky to have friends and family who look after me so well!!!
We have done the usuals but something different would be nice and maybe a show
Suggestions please of what to do::: GO!!

I think I’ll get some decorating done, even if it is late I’m hardly going to sleep now and I feel sick as a dog! aaaarrrgh , we are doing our bedroom on a budget, I’ll show before and after a as anyone who knows me Knows me knows I LOVE interiors and LOVE a bargain ! So this is my next project … keep the mind busy and my body moving! It will be so nice, so when I have days like this, to escape and have a nice room to go to and chill out in! It has been the last room to be done as we wanted to focus on the rooms people actually see and Lilly’s room was a priority being 15 and filming 15,046 million tik toks a day! However, typical Linz style, I haven’t actually finished it! Lilly also needs a good backdrop and she must spend ages trying to crop my cutting in -out and remove the frog tape up there lol x

Not finishing jobs is just me all over !! I get bored!! I don’t know how Cal doesn’t kill me I know I test his patience lol!

So…… hopefully tomorrow I can wake up feeling better to finish it off and then relax as i have my first HBOT session at JYAI wellness in the evening which I had to cancel last week ….

If you don’t know much about HBOT I’ll fill you in tomorrow with a little story on how it went but I’m really excited!! It’s my first time too!!!!

HAPPY SUNDAY GUYS SND SWEET DREAMS X

WAKEY WAKEY, rise and fecking shine — whooooooop, we made it!!!! 🙌✨ Thank you, Lord, for another day!! 🙏💛

And what a day it’s going to be, weather-wise!!! ☀️ The forecast is looking good, and I am awake after 3½ hours kip 😅, which is fab for me!!

I don’t seem to have any obvious side effects and feel good, apart from being a little tired 😴. Today will be another rest day, trying to catch up on the sleep I have missed out on over the past 8 weeks or so! 🛌💤

I have just had a quick blast on my vibration plate to get my lymphatic system moving, and it definitely works!!! 💃✨ I can feel my body waking up, and it’s just 20 minutes a day, or however long I can manage!

I get very bored very easily and can’t sit still 🙈, so it’s a challenge standing in the same spot for longer than 15 seconds!!!! 😂

It has been one of the best buys I have invested in, and I would recommend it to anyone who is into detoxification! 💫 I’m not sure about using it for fitness — there are mixed reviews out there 🤔

It came with the tiniest remote ever, and I lost it pretty much on day one!!!! 🙄📱 I finally got round to ordering another one, which arrived yesterday! I can GUARANTEE that I will find the other remote today — sod’s law, innit! 🤣

So, if you don’t know about the lymphatic system, get reading — it’s amazing! 🤯 It’s brilliant for circulation and supporting detoxification. It’s so clever! 💛 Your liver and kidneys do the majority of that work, but this is a brilliant support system!

When I discover something that I believe in and that I feel works, I tend to fall down a rabbit hole 🐇📚 and spend hours researching it. All of my friends will tell you I don’t stop talking about it 😂

That’s exactly what happened when I was referred for manual lymphatic drainage at the Woodside Clinic, which is based in the grounds of St Catherine’s Hospice 🌿

I have always loved it at St Catherine’s. My grandad was cared for superbly by the lovely team until he passed, with dignity, with us all around him nearly 40 years ago 💛

GOD, am I that old!!!! 😳😂

I have nothing but nice memories from there, and on my visits to Woodside I would go and find the garden doors of Grandad Tim’s room, overlooking the beautiful gardens that he woke up to every day 🌸🌿 It was such a strange but comforting feeling 💫

The lymph fluid basically moves around the body, and it’s millimetres under the skin, so a light sweeping motion on your body will move the lymph fluid easily! 💆‍♀️

I was given a massage via a machine that helped with the pooling of fluid that my lymph nodes would normally remove and drain.

I was then sent off with a little booklet with a step-by-step guide to follow, as and when the pooling returned 📖

When I was showing my friends how to do it, they compared it to The Inbetweeners dance-off moves 😂💃

My close friends and sister were at Linekers bar in Ibiza after a crazy day at O Beach 🌊☀️, and we all started doing the dance — but yes, it also doubles as my lymph massage moves lol! 🤣

If you can’t remember the dance, the music should help lol! 🎶

Anyway, have a lovely day, guys, and thanks for reading! 💛 I hope you have learned something — anything that helps you understand my journey ✨

Please share and follow, etc., and have the best day and weekend, guys! 🙌💫

This day will never come again!!!! 💛✨ xx

Well this is nice, ready for nice evenings and relaxation….. bliss!

Morning all - Firstly apologies as I have been missing in action! (wait, that's absolute rubbish as i have actually been missing in doing sweet FA!) Soooooo last week my 1st chemo was cancelled as I was booked in for an intravenous drip but I had already opted for tablet form so they had to reschedule! To be honest, between me and you, I wouldn't choose to be hanging out anywhere near Royal Preston Hospital with my immune system ! The only time I clever did was in the late 80s when I was a teenage dirtbag and there was a plethora of dirtbags with me all hanging out on Booths and the Hozzie all sharing a bottle of "MAD DOG 2020" EURGH the backwash! It was handy tho if we needed an ambulance :)

Anyhoo - I spent the time attempting to shift my mindset - I had loads of thinking time, (from laughing to crying), a bit of meditation (I know boring and wu wu+), listening to podcasts, (I am loving Crouch Therapy), etc etc oh and POTTERING - I did a LOT of pottering, decluttering and organizing - my cupboards and my smugness love me! I spent a small fortune on Tupperware as I had no lids to the dishes and then remembered I am supposed to be using Glass! Its a minefield trying to avoid nasties 24/7 but I promise I am trying my best!. I am downing as many supplements that I can swallow to assist my immune system and deal with inflammation. Cals wizardry in smoothie making went a step further with loads of new ingredients and goodness!

The one thing I didn't do was sleep - I am just wired when it gets to 10pm and the last thing I want is to be lying in bed overthinking!

Again this morning I woke up at 2am and here I am at nearly 8am - thank god I can go back to bed!!! Sleep is so important so I am trying my best to get a routine going again. I will get there its baby steps and Callum constantly asking me to rest up!

So I eventually started it last Thursday - Mel came to support me - god knows why as I don't know what we expected to happen - like I was going to start smoking red hot and spontaneously combust on ingestion - it never happened and Mel went home!

So far the only side effect is cramps in my legs which only come when I wake up and ease of easily, I have been using Tropic skincare magnesium body butter thet I won in Candice Lancaster raffle and one bout of sickness last night apart from that all good!

So nothing happening part from me waiting for something to happen! I was so lucky last time — I breezed through chemo, walked to the hospital there and glided back, I slept like a baby after it and went back to work!

This time there will be no work stress and just me allowing my body to do what its best and heal! I also have the other treatments that I am using holistically alongside such as HBOT - oxygen chamber - loads of benefits - I wont wang on here as you probs know them all but that's next on my list! massive thank you to the super 8 ish group month so that is just a massive blessing as they are 25 quid a shot - well worth it though and at the gorgeous WELLNESS PRESTON with the lovely Lynn, they do other treatments there too such as Cryotherapy, IR therapy and Pilates which I am going to give a go!!! Thank you girls, you are amazing!

Finally today Its a friends heavenly birthday - she would have been 40 today! I never knew it was her birthday and yesterday on a whim I bought a sunflower - she loved sunflowers so I think it was a sign to plant it on her birthday which I will day today! The sun is making an appearance and I am sat watching the birds and thinking how incredibly lucky I was to have found Hollie and her dollies as they saved my life - I will explain all in another thread as she deserves her v own post! She was very special!! ###

I hope this all reads right I am knackered and going bog eyed! back to bed me thinks!

Today’s the day … not really slept so my positivity (that I normally annoy everyone with) is at a lower point than normal but Callum is giving me lots of cuddles and head wobbles!

I decided to watch the latest apprentice series to cheer me up and it never failed!! Episode one ,30 minutes in has already had us howling but then screaming at the telly ( im v up and down lol ) soooo…. , comment of the day ….. from the girls losing team (who were saved ) to the boys who won the “find the item challenge” it was a s**t show as normal, all running around with their extensions clinging on for dear life and no one having a bloody clue of what the plan is! Anyway back at the house one lady said “you have no idea what you are up against until you are in the boardroom and you are facing lord sugar it’s like a matter of life or death”!!!!! Well young lady let me tell you TWO things: I would much rather be facing this running around surrounded by temples snd smiley people in Singapore, than waiting to go to RPH … RPH btw I love you I just hate having to see you all the time 😳!

And secondly Lady im just jealous as I don’t even have a strong enough strand on my pea heed to be able to hold an extension on with “sticks like s**t” or “no more nails”never mind hair glue!!!! My hair resembles Bill Bailey before he sorted his s**t out and shaved it off!! So yes Lady think before you speak as there is someone somewhere looking like Bill Bailey waiting to fight for my life with someone using my head to tell the time … dandelion head lol …. One O clock, two o clock lol !!! Anyway all is forgiven I’m just feeling really sorry for myself… it’s a blip!!! I would like to edit that the legend that is Janet Gallagher told me the one o clock joke years ago lol, always making me laugh x

I’ve been threatening this page for a while and been too scared to write it 😒, it’s a mixed feeling of it actually becoming more real writing and reading it back … however there is no escape! I also hope that it will be therapeutic and I’ll find some calm amongst the chaos!!! My mind is on constant overdrive and I just thank god I have practiced mindfulness for the past 5 years!!

I can pretend it’s not happening to hopefully manifest it away but also I can’t block it out because I need to throw everything I can at it - not just for me, but for every single one of you who have unwavered in your support since April 2021 through donations and fundraising for to keep my mind off the first 6 rounds of chemo bank in June 2021 at the “BIG B***Y Dos” running marathons, buying raffle tickets, going round pubs terrorising people to buy the raffle tickets etc , quiz nights , walking the guild wheel to soooooo many other events, as a community we really pulled together and I’d love to create thst feeling again!!

It takes a village to raise a child and I was the child - we raised over 7k in pretty much one month for the centre which has touched pretty much everyone in Preston and afar!

So this is for my family, my beautiful caring funny as hell Mum who luckily if there is any thing lucky about the cruel disease, is being sheltered from it! Luckily my sister is doing the majority of it as im hit and miss on a daily basis but thankfully she is a powerhouse, she spins plates daily , looking after my mum daily with the carers but also being right there for us too!!! Never moans , well not to me but I know she will as it’s crazy busy being a full time working mum and having me in the mix!!!

To my beautiful supportive partner who is one of the most positive humans in the land!! Thank you Cal for being you and especially my daughter, who since the age of 10 has also had this as a part of her life, being a typical Gemini she dealt with it with humour, strength and an ability to be more positive than me which is totally what I need!! She also sometimes made me feel that she was sometimes too OK. Anyway she has amazing friendship groups whose parents from school also make sure their kids are looking out for her x You all know who you are you beautiful humans!!!

And finally to my friends, my cheerleaders massive shout out to the 2….. “super 8ish group “ bc people keep joining and I have a hissy fit and left once 🙈.. and the “Yellows”, yellow in friendship means joy, positivity, trust, and strong platonic bonds❤️
From the bottom of my heart I could not have done of this without there shouldersti cry in, their pep talks, head wobbles, cuddles and more !! They have brought me presents that I have cherished… mainly crystals , treatments for oxygen chamber courses amongst others, bird cams to get me prepped for Monday 9th March 2026 for a new chemo plan … unfortunately ss it stands it has no end date it’s a suck it and see … this is where this all started …. Ive always been really interested in the body and the mind and what they can do naturally in the right environment so I’ve been down a rabbit hole for a few years now and now I need to put it into practice … but it’s not cheap!!

So we sat down when the new spread came in and we made a plan that’s really the beginning of a project!!! We need to embrace this like a project, little emotion but just a plan. A project!!!

And DO I LOVE a project !!! Especially project books… those annoyingly cute lil colourful A5 ring bindery books with those cute little colour coded tags that scream “Imma gonna sort your s**tstorm of a life out girlfriend”…. but in reality not even a sharpie wants to hang out with them…. !!!

Aaaargh…. Anyway I digress…. Apparently someone wise once said that if you really want the key to success you have to start doing the opposite of what everyone else is doing ….. this was a lightbulb moment .. what can possibly go wrong??? 😑

The start……
