Oh ho ho

my side effects are all over the place!

I got bad ringing in my ears and so I can’t hear what’s going on half the time and i’m feeling a bit sicker And my mouth is terrible! Just feels like everything is covered in fabric..and not the nice kind of fabric.. Also means I can’t taste anything Eughhh.

Oh dear..there goes the ringingggg!

Thank you

To everyone who has left me lovely comments Really appreciate what you’re saying and makes me smileee! I hope you’ve had a wonderful day

Also, Mags, you definitely did pay the right amount of postage Don’t you worry!

Wore my wig for the first time at school today! This is gonna take ages for me to type because my fingers are so cold they’ve like stopped bending.. And my skin is quite dry from the chemo so it feels quite tight Bad times. I’ll put some hand cream on..gimmie a sec..

Okay..that’s a bit better. Yeah wore my wig! And everyone loved it ! Hah you could see the people looking at me thinking ‘I swear I recognise her..’ and then realising hah What was weird is I saw someone who hadn’t seen me with no hair and she recognised me straight away and didn’t even realise it was a wig! Hah! Mental. I didn’t wear the underneath grippy bit so it didn’t give me a headache which is cool .

OMG who is so up for watching Jo Frost tonight?! I’m watching it and then that one born every minute show as well – have you seen the advert for that? It’s like loadsa clips of labour cut together but in a nicer sounding way hah. Good advert.

Good work on the orders by the way everyone Gotta get cracking on some more domino earrings! Don’t forget to spread the word of www.theknockoneffect.co.uk

Had a small phone interview with The Guardian this morning..talking about volunteering as a student and the benefits and stuff..should be in that graduate supplement - which comes out with the saturday edition – on 22nd Feb. We’ll see .

I’m freeeeezing! But I think that’s coz my blood count is low.. Well I reckon my blood count is low. Did I say the other day? That it means I need ta pee a lot (lovely) when my bloods are down..something to do with the way the body works..I don’t know. They’ll be up again in time for my next lotta treatment..just as long as you don’t go making me ill.

What’s that?

What’s that I hear you say? ‘Rosie, please can you tell me all about the Metropolitan box of chocolates that they sell at Thorntons?!’ OKAY, I’LL TELL YOU! Well it’s a box of fruity, floral flavours working perfectly with the single origin chocolate beans. You’ve got the praline wand; a lovely contrast of crunchy wafer pieces and smooth hazelnut praline..There is an orange…er…an orange one with zesty fruity hints. A rich, yet mellow vanilla ganache for the more simple flavour and a soho caramel for those of you who like your salty tones. I’m not going to say anything more about the soho caramel because it is absolutely gross…but don’t tell James I said that. For the more textured experience there is a ‘Manhatten Meltaway’ and a ‘Midnight Meltaway’, which you pop on your tongue and just feel it trickle its way around your mouth – with the Ecuadorian milk chocolate or the Dominican Republic dark chocolate really tasting great. Then you’ve got your ‘Q Couture’ that is just full of pang and zang from the quince flavours infused in the ganache center..but the winner of this box is the ‘Honeyblossom Hill’..The winner by far! Wait..Is it called honeyblossom hill? I don’t know but it tastes sooo good! You bite down and it just takes you to Japanese gardens and the middle just melts and YUM. You should buy it and try it.

No way..I’m watching myself on T.V RIGHT NOW. Hah there was Grandma! Awesome. Actually no..Embarrassing. But awesome ahah. I chose all the music myself dontcha know .

Byyyyyyyyyy the way – CHECK OUT www.theknockoneffect.co.uk AND SEE WHAT WONDERFUL THINGS SUE WILLIAMS FROM HYPERACTION HAS DONE ON MY WEBSITE! LOOK AT ALL THE NEW PRODUCTS! GET BUYING!

Happy days..But I ache from working ahaha – I’m gonna sit back and watch these orders come flying in ..We’re not in the recession anymore so you’ve got NO EXCUSES.

My wig

Gives me a headache I think the grippy thing is too tight . Bad times!

I’m very tired so it’s a quick one to say that I had a great day with the fam and don’t forget to watch www.theknockoneffect.co.uk for new stock tomorrow!

Happy Birthday Mags!

. Hope you’ve had a lovely day!

Have got lots of pictures today Firstly here is some pictures from our website day last Monday at HyperAction :D There is me in my snood (birthday present from Mike) and some tshirts being hung to take pictures of and Sue..Looking very serious.

Grumpy Snood.

Attractive .

Busy Sue.

Doing some important website things…

Artfully Hung T-shirts.

 Ironed and all!

Snood and Bramble.

 Bramble and I

Serious Sue - Mum made me put this on!

 

See, we’re all very busy! And I think I’ll share with you one of Gwens jokes..Gwen is one of Sues daughters – she’s talented in the joke area – So here goes: (I won’t be as good as Gwen telling it but I’ll give it a try) – Why do aliens always spill their tea?? Because they use flying saucers! Hahahha ! Brilliant.

Okayyy and here is the pictures from our wig trip this morning . Rob came along and had a great time filming, infact I think we all had a great time. It was a MUCH nicer experience than last time..wait..last time << that links you to my previous wig shopping day post if ya hadn’t read it .

Outside set up.

 It was freeeezing outside! This is Rob and I doing the set up for going into the wig shop..which was Wills Wigs.. after this picture, Rob filmed Mum and I crossing the road…which was a very busy road and we did a lot of creeping forwards and then wimping out and then finally crossed..watch out for us on one of those outtakes programs ahah .

Blonde wig.

 This is the only blonde wig that suited me a bit..But it still wasn’t a great colour – so we decided that the nice natural brunette was the best in the end Too light and I looked pale and much darker than my natural colour made me look too pale as well!

Blonde Wig.

Blonde wig…Who do I look like?! And one of Rob on the right side and wrong side of the camera .

Brown bob.

I think this is the one I went for in the end..It’s shorter at the back then longer at the front, not a style I would have gone for but it suited me really well! I tried on some really long haired ones and I just looked about 12! Didn’t get any pictures of those for some reason! Bad times! But it didn’t look great . I think it’s best to get a shorter one because not so much to maintain yanooo .

BAD bob.

This DOES NOT suit me.. I HATE!

Underneath grip net.

Thas just the thing that goes underneath to stop the wig falling off hah.

I did try on a few redder ones but they just did not suit me at all either! Also, I didn’t think it was a good idea to get a wig that was a mental colour because then it would look like obviously a wig and then I would just feel stupid. When I went outside the shop I did feel like EVERYONE knew..but I asked the lady at the Gloucester Quays Info desk if she could tell I was wearing a wig and she said she didn’t know untill I said hah .

Oh happy days.

I’m tired because I’ve been on my feet all day! I think thas enough to keep you entertained though .

And for some reason my blog has messed up and the layout is all over the place…I don’t know how to fix it but I think it’ll sort itself out!! :S!

Omgosh.

Just ordered the two ‘awaiting stock’ designs on www.theknockoneffect.co.uk so those should be available in 10 DAYS! No fricking way! You know..I might put them up for sale now and you can get your orders in and then you can just wait like 2 weeks..how does that sound?

Also…don’t you all need plastic bag replacement canvas bags? For all your shopping and stuff? Well we’ve already got one lovely design up on www.theknockoneffect.co.uk but there is a new design gonna be available by at THE MOST monday! I have mentioned it on here previously so if you take a search down then you can find it..Actually, gimmie a sec..If you go here then you can find out all about the new bag . Ent I nice.

And what about those of you who like your quirky jewellery? We have got rings and earrings and badges and necklaces! All sorts! I believe that necklaces will be available very soon and there are black ones, white ones and beautiful vintage ones . All for insanely cheap prices – you’ll feel like you’re robbing me. What an overused line that was..

Also, as of Monday, the Rhino1 t-shirt will be on SPECIAL OFFER…wait.. *SPECIAL OFFER* (hah that’s better) of JUST £10! Bargain. Imagine going into Topshop or Republic or whatever and seeing this kinda tshirt for £10..you would snap it up in an instant! Speaking of tshirts, we have got 3 new designs going up very soon – MONDAY AT THE LATEST! Monday is the day .

I believe that’s all the business news for you.. Apart from to say that Mum and I had a meeting with Natwest this morning – They are the best bank you’ll ever meet..If you wanna set up a business or normal account then go with Natwest; they truely care and wanna get involved! Just lovely lovely people! But yeah, that was so that we could move the business account into a partnership with me as well – now that I’m 18 and all.
Also met with a man called Mike from Business Link who was very nice and gave us some advice and told us that everything we were doing so far was actually pretty great! Hah .

 

I’m all tired out but well enough for work tonight ..So come see me at Tesco? Lovely job.

 

Omgggg can’t believe we’re gonna have 6 tshirt designs! Mental. WHO IS READY FOR THE RELAUNCH ON MONDAYYY!!! www.theknockoneffect.co.uk - BE THERE. Also, don’t forget I’m on T.V again! Monday 8th 7.30pm on BBC 1. . Most of you have already seen it, but you could always watch it again? .

 

Wig shopping (properly) tomorrow Will be a much nicer experience than the first one we had, I hope! Rob is coming along too so when they do the Inside Out sequel you can see how we got on . Happy days.

Scan News.

Look how quick we got my scan results!

Mmmm so it turns out that it’s not really news :/. See we worked out that I didnt actually have a scan right at the beginning of my chemo, it was a bit before that, so we can’t actually work out when any change in size occured. Basically the scan shows that there is a nodule in my lung that has gone from 13mm to 16mm, another one that has gone from 4mm – 5mm and multiple nodules that have had no change at all. Also that there is a lump in my liver that has gone from 28mm to 38mm and another one that has decreased in size (but they couldn’t be bothered to measure it hah) and some others with no change at all. The great news is that there are absoultely no new areas This is the first time I haven’t had new areas hah! But yeah, I don’t really see it as any news at all because it was nulifed by the fact that I didn’t have a scan at the beginning so couldn’t really measure it. The real scan results to look at will be the next one won’t it..which will probably be done right at the end of my treatment.
Mental. I don’t really have any feeling about it to be honest..it’s just neutral isn’t it..?

Urmmm have booked my wig consulation for friday morning, so that’ll be fun .

I’m very tired..gosh! And I had loadsa sleep last night actually, felt like chemo was no time at all! Tried it on my own last night, which worked out well on everyone because we all had good nights sleep . Toby came up for a visit yesterday evening as well which was awesome .

Website looks well on the way for the second relaunch on monday!! And you’ll all be pleased to know that the 2 tshirt designs awaiting stock on there have been ordered and should be about 11 days

Post 301

301 posts! WOAH.. How have I had so much to write about? That was a lame sentance.. Okay..

Had a scan this very morn, had to get up whilst it was still dark (so even before the crack of dawn) and set out here for my early appointment.. The dye they gave me really tastes worse every single time, if you like aniseed then it’s lush but I hate aniseed so it’s disgusting..and you have to drink like 10million litre  of it as well . ALSO this woman..we’ll call her Jane (because that’s her name but I don’t want to sound like I’m getting anyone in trouble…) she flushed my line without pulling any blood back first so if I drop dead then it’s because I’ve died of the blood clots that she pushed into my veins.. Bad times.

Will get the results of that scan on like Frrriday..probably.

It’s cloudy today so Rob says that it will be a nice hot summer..If it’s not then we can all blame him. (Rob is the camera man don’t forget!) OH AND! If you still havent seen the BBC Inside Out West piece then they are showing it on the Birmingham version on Monday 8th at 7.30pm so get there and watch it .

SO SUE IF YOU ARE READING THIS THEN WE SHOULD TRY AND GET THA WEBSITE READY FOR THEN YAH? I’LL GET ON WITH EDITING THE PICTURES SO THAT I CAN SEND THEM TO YOU AND SUCH. I’m not shouting because I’m angry..I’m shouting so you can hear me .

Oh happy daaaaays, I wanna go on holiday. I’m in a pretty good mood actually – I’m so fricking antisipatedexcited for the results… I don’t know what the word to describe it is. I just cannot wait for these results..I reckon it’ll be good..I gotta feeling .

Welsh Cakes

Are the best. I’ve eaten like a million of them today.

Very productive day! I learnt so much about photos! There is so many things you can do and shouldn’t do and all sorts! I’m pretty much a graphic designer now . Bahah. BIG BIG thanks to Alastair and Sue for today!!

I’m watching Glee twice because I love it so much.. Early start tomorrow though..gotta leave at 6:45 so it’s a short one..latersss!

Mo

That Mo film made me bawl like a baby And I didn’t even know what was going on! Sad times. .

I would like to be in a film please. Might use that as my Clic Sargent wish…’I wish to be accepted into a good university (possibly that welsh one) on an acting course kfaaaanx’ (For all you old people that last word is ‘kfanx’ which means ‘okay thank you’ I AM A CHEEKY ONE!) Nah..I think it says in the rules that they don’t do that Eugh.

I think you should all look at this site www.passiveaggressivenotes.com it’s AWESOME and also www.supermarketsarah.com that is also AWESOME.

Mum and I are going to Cardiff tomorrow to see Sue (website lady) so hopefully by the end of tomorrow we’ll have new stuff on the siiiiite! Exciting! Don’t forget to tell your friends to read what I say: www.theknockoneffect.wordpress.com. My stats are falling so I’m gonna tell you that if you don’t read this then cancer kills me… Playing with fire there aren’t I – putting my life in your hands! Bahahah. Whatta joker!
