We all posed for some pictures for the financial section of the Daily Telegraph.&#160; I had some critical illness cover with Standard Life and we were asked if we wanted to be a case study for a feature in the Telegraph.&#160; It&#39;s just a little piece but I am looking forward to reading a broadsheet (I normally stick to the local papers or The News of the World). Quality journalism! <\/p>\n<p>Charlie is a little disappointed today.&#160; He was due to go away on a school ski\/snowboard trip which he was leading.&#160; The trip leaves tonight at midnight but he pulled out as soon as I was diagnosed.&#160; <\/p>\n<p>Tonight, I&#39;m just going to chill out, watch ER and get an early night.&#160; I have hospital tomorrow but I&#39;m just popping in and I&#39;m going to phone back for my results so that I can spend most of the day with Charlie and the girls ( and hopefully, if I see him, the Easter Bunny and various eggs of the chocolate variety!)<\/p>\n<p>CU L8R V x<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ooh Eck!&#160; I&#39;ve not updated my blog for almost a week!
