The Savages Christmas party was as raucous as ever with the Wilkes/Hollys winning the quiz trophy. I retired early pooped by the travel and two leaky bags. I'm pretty sure I wasn't stinky (in this family the chance to laugh at a fart is seldom missed and I'm proud to know I wouldn't have been spared) but apologies, Tom, for hogging the bathroom and thanks to Bridie for her no questions asked laundry service. The skin on one side of the stoma is sore from leaking and I'm a bit worried that chemo won't help so I'll check it out with the stoma nurse tomorrow before the chemo appointment.
This morning an enormous good luck poster was on the kitchen wall, with messages and drawings from Katie, Niamh, Charlie, Eve, Heather, Tom and Ellie. The drawings were mainly of lucky stuff (including a Norwich City scarf) but I think there was some poo too(or a very primitive, brown clover?); gritty realists these Brummies and Mancs. And yes I suppose poo is lucky.
Tom's scarf sketch should have alerted us! While driving back to Norwich wondering how many layers to wear we heard the result: Norwich 4 Sheffield United 2. To us the day before the Wednesday my chemo starts is just a Tuesday and Tuesday games are at 7.45. To everyone else the Tuesday after a Saturday Christmas is a bank holiday and bank holiday games are at 3pm. Great result though and we're relieved we don't have to go out tonight.
good luck for tomorrow - if we can beat chelsea, you're a shoo in for whipping the old big c!!! see you are creeping up the table nicely - the emirates is a lovely stadium - would be a pleasure to see you there next season.

Yay! Push on for the title gunners! Would love to go to the Emirates. We've got Henri for another month but didn't play yesterday ( hamstring) so don't know how much more we'll see of him.
