Pip

Think Jo’s right L. Mince and potatoes isn’t the answer

Lisa

How do you know? It might be exactly what she needs!

Pip

Hun, listen to what she said yesterday

Pip

‘I just need to shut myself off for a bit’

Pip

You popping over with a cottage pie you’ve whipped up is hardly that is it?

Lisa

Well forgive me for wanting to help our friend

Leece, I’m sorry but you need to listen.

God you had me worried there

Sorry

I’m a bit all over the place

It’s ok. It’s really hard to know what to do for the best.

Lisa

Can we meet up for coffee or something?

Pip

Coffee sounds good

Jo

Would love that

Jo

Does Filter at 6pm work?

Lisa

I’ll make it work

Lisa

I’ve been stuck at school too many evenings these last few weeks so I’m owed an earlier finish!

Late Morning

Pip

Afternoon

Jo

Just listened to your voice note

Jo

What a lady!

Jo

Think that’s a great idea

Lisa

Would love to do something like that

Lisa

We could do it for Breast Cancer Now

Lisa

They’ve given Heather so much support and I saw on their website they do all this incredible research too

Pip

Definitely

Pip

Think that’d be great

Pip

Part of me wants to do it as a surprise for H

Jo

Think she’d actually really love that

Lisa

What could we do?

Pip

Jo

Sorry, just to be 100% clear, are you suggesting we all shave our heads?????

Pip

Yep!

Jo

Bloody hell Pip

Jo

That is bold

Pip

Jo

That is bold

Don’t you mean...bald?

Lisa

I love the idea in principle, no idea how I’d feel about actually doing something like that

Lisa

Or how John would feel for that matter!

Pip

I know, it’s a big thing

Pip

Obviously let’s not get ahead of ourselves

Pip

But Heather’s going through something really life changing

Pip

And if she does have to have chemo...

Pip

I don’t know

Pip

Could be really empowering

Pip

Anyway, just wanted to put it out there

Pip

Who knows what’ll happen

Thursday

Evening

Jo

Just been on the phone to Heather

Jo

I’m adding her back in

Lisa

Is she ok?

Jo

Why don’t you ask her?

Jo added Heather

Lisa

HEATHER!

Heather

Hello...

Lisa

Been so worried about you

Pip

Hasn’t been the same without you

Pip

Was pretty uneventful on here

Pip

Although...

Pip

L was going to bring you a cottage pie...

Lisa

It’s true

Lisa

Didn’t know what to do

Heather

Love your cottage pie

Lisa

SEE!

Pip

😆

Heather

Not sure it would have been the answer on this occasion though

Heather

Sorry I left so abruptly

Pip

Don’t apologise

Pip

You do what you need to do

Heather

Shall we talk about the elephant in the room?

Lisa

I didn’t want to ask

Heather

Lisa

Don’t worry lovely, we thought we’d better play it safe so we organised plan B a while ago.

Heather

Thank you. A walk sounds good 😘

Really want to see you all

Pip

Walk and a pub lunch? Could go to the Haycutter

Heather

It’s a date

Lisa

Love that idea

Lisa

It’s supposed to be good weather too

Pip

Lisa

In the meantime, is there ANYTHING we can do? Cleaning? Babysitting? What’s going to help?

Pip

I’m just going to say this

Pip

Don’t bite my head off

Pip

Emma’s 16

Pip

I can’t imagine her mum was a goody two shoes at that age...

Jo

I really don’t need to hear that right now.

Pip

They’re going to mess about

I feel completely betrayed

The joys of bringing up teenage girls

Jo

Pip

Ok babe

Heather

Jo

Jo

Pip I’m sorry I called you a hippy

Jo

Wish I could be as relaxed as you

Pip

😂 That's alright I wish I was a hippy! Can just see myself in one of those camper vans with flowers in my hair

Heather

Have you told Mike?

Jo

He isn’t back yet

Jo

It’ll be fine, it’s sorted

Jo

He’ll be glad it wasn’t him

Jo

He’s much more laidback than me but this would have made him feel very awkward!

Heather

Can imagine

Evening

Lisa

I don’t envy you Jo!

Jo

🤪 We’ve ordered a takeaway

Jo

This afternoon wiped me out!

Lisa

I bet!

Lisa

You’d think!
