Hi Mum just tried to catch you in, missed you again, left a message! Hope you were out because you’re still having great weather and making the most of it!

You ok? I’m fine. Hope you didn’t send a parcel for my birthday because nothing’s arrived?

Although the whole flat scenario is still a big problem, I haven’t found anywhere else yet so basically it’s the same traveling nightmare and it’s really getting me down. Also I don’t know if I told you about Sacha (my boss, she didn’t get transferred in the end which was good). Anyway a while ago she was ill with that bug or so we thought, but then she was out of the office for the last two weeks, we didn’t know why and we thought it was really weird.

Well she came back in on Friday afternoon and looks totally different and she got us all in the meeting room and basically told the whole team she’s been having these tests and she’s got cancer. She hasn’t been feeling well for a while but nobody knew. She was really brave about it. Really brave. She’s already had this massive surgery and just started chemo but she’s coming back into work starting Monday so as of tomorrow she’s carrying on as normal except for the chemo appointments, she said when they were but I’ve forgotten. She’s going to lose all her hair apparently so she said our main job is going to be getting used to her in a wig a couple of months down the line. Or she might do hats, she might start a collection she said, definitely NO baseball caps though. She was actually laughing. She said she’s fine with it and doesn’t want any sympathy, it’s just an illness that can affect anybody, it doesn’t make her different she’s still just Sacha, and she’s going to beat it. They told her she might feel pretty rough with the chemo so she might need the odd day off to rest but the best way we can help is if we just all get on with it and forget about it, like she’s doing. Then she started talking about our Q4 targets.

Nobody knew what to say. The girls were in tears and I nearly was too. I never minded having Sacha as a boss, I really like her actually. I found out afterwards she’s only thirty six and she’s got two kids, six and three. I didn’t even know that and I wish I’d noticed she was ill. Mum it’s incredible how brave she is. I felt like going in and telling her that but you can’t, can you? I can’t even tell her I think she’s a brilliant boss, it would sound cheesy or morbid or whatever. It’s funny (not!) how the minute you really want to tell someone what you feel is the exact same minute you know you can’t.

Sorry to be a bit
