  1. @jallford you're so right.
  2. @Lord_Sugar or 50/50 in a charitable enterprise? That'd be great!
  3. @jallford absolutely, I don't understand why cancer's a fight? Why isn't, um, anaemia a fight? Weird and annoying (for me, anyway!)
  4. @meanwritehook lovely!
  5. @itsJuliaHardy @albannachwhisky ah, Julia's - you should patent that cocktail - such a winner :)
  6. Being active rather than 'passive' I sort-of get. But how can you fight your cells? Maybe we should all duff up diabetes?
  7. I get irked by emotional language around "fighting" cancer. No one asks people who have a heart attack to "battle it". Curse you, tabloids.
  8. @CRUKWalton oooh lovely, enjoy! xx
  9. @CRUKWalton awww, shucks, thank you! Kept meaning to say Happy Birthday - hope you had a lovely day?! xx
  10. @ktob hey there, doing this walk on Sunday if you, Jez and the kids are free/fancy stretching a leg! guardian.co.uk/travel/2010/ja…
  11. @CRUKWalton Well, @mrpointyhead is a man of mystery - are you going to do some training with us on Sun? Pls do invite anyone else!
  12. @Markatansky @DelTorro mmm, lovely Irn Bru!
  13. @CRUKWalton Hey Nancy - still fancy an uphill stroll on Sunday?! How's about this route: guardian.co.uk/travel/2010/ja…
  14. @damienclarkson I hope she's feeling a bit more comfortable now, poor love.
  15. Two big coffees and I'm still dozing at my desk. Got dinner at @AlbannachWhisky tonight - hope a wee dram perks me up!
  16. @damienclarkson @alzheimerssoc Oh no, poor her - and you :( Has the doctor come round to see her?
  17. @rosabirch Hi Rosa! I saw you talk at an NFP tweetup event a while ago & wondered if I cld mine your FB brain? Coffee/cakes/bribes on offer!
  18. @damienclarkson definitely @alzheimerssoc and there's some stuff on our website that might be of help: ageuk.org.uk/health-wellbei… - hope she's ok.
