There has been lots of media coverage this week. I am beginning to feel more like a pop star than a cancer victim.

I got up bright and early to do a radio interview with BBC Southern Counties Radio. I was quite nervous but it was really good to do it and have the opportunity to plug my record a bit, not to mention the ego boost of hearing it on the radio.

We have got our kittens! They are beautiful and we have named them Tui and Fosters. Tui after my sister's dog in New Zealand who is named after the beer out there and Fosters after Tom's favourite beer and because the kitten is the colour of lager.

My day has been mixed to the extreme, both physically and emotionally. Physically because I woke up feeling so well and even managed a walk to Hove Lagoon and back.

It was terrific and I felt really fit but later I had a hospital appointment with my surgeon to check my progress and almost as soon as I was there another migraine started.

My nurse feels this should be discussed with my oncologist with a view to maybe reviewing my treatment.

Emotionally I was so excited about the kittens. Then I found out the headteacher at Jacob's school is leaving, a result of reorganisation of schools in Adur.

I have been so happy with the boys' schools and both headteachers have been so kind and supportive, way beyond the call of duty. Lewis was going to be at Jacob's school next year and I know this headteacher would have been really understanding.

I had become complacent in the knowledge that where school was concerned I had got it right.

Now I feel unsettled and concerned, particularly about Lewis being dumped into a time of change in school when he'll be dealing with an unsettled time at home trying to cope with the loss of his mother.

The next day started with a lovely walk over Southwick Locks. I called my sister in New Zealand and she too had been power walking but she had been cut off by a herd of bullocks!

Although I long to be back in New Zealand, I felt content to be walking on the Locks.

The rest of the morning was spent playing with the kittens. They really are the most adorable little creatures.

The afternoon was spent in lovely model style with a round of photos for the Daily Mail. It was good fun and we had to dress up and pose under special lights with umbrellas. I don't think the boys enjoyed it as much as me.

It's funny how things have changed. When the initial media attention started Lewis would like showing off and running around excitedly showing everyone the publications. The cancer has changed our lives in more ways than one.

Mum and David babysat so Tom and I could have some time together. We cycled into Brighton and had a meal and picked up some more of the CDs from Chris Rye who wrote the melody and did the recording.

It was great to see Chris. I always feel bad because I get all the credit and praise but he did most of the work. I could never have done it without him.

Saturday was my perfect kind of day. I got up at a leisurely pace and Tom went to see the football.

Jacob, Lewis and I cycled along the River Adur and met my mum and David at Bramber Castle for a picnic. The sun came out and the children played and even had me climbing.

Later we had one of our family nights, watching films and eating popcorn - made all the more special by the kittens charging around attacking our feet.

My joints are very painful, probably not helped by all the cycling and walking but I don't care because I wouldn't change a thing about today.

Jacob asked if he could sleep in my room because he wanted to be near me and then Lewis said he also wanted to sleep in my room because I was pretty! A bit of sibling competition, sucking up and point scoring but how could I possibly resist!

The next day I went for a walk with my iPod pounding out. I was feeling on top of the world and never felt better. Sometimes it's hard to accept that I am so ill.

I have been invited to a child's birthday party. I have always related well to children and that's my chosen career but since the media coverage, when I collect the boys from school it's like being a celebrity. They all run up to me calling out my name. I feel really flattered.

When I checked on the boys before going to sleep I saw Lewis was sleeping soundly but Jacob looked uncomfortable so I tried to gently move one of his pillows.

As I did he opened his eyes and slowly outstretched both his arms and put them around my neck pulling me closer to him for a cuddle.

I didn't want to move and I am crying as I write this because I know that we have such a close and perfect relationship and I so desperately don't want them to suffer and be the cause of their pain. I cannot and do not want to contemplate what it will be like for them growing up without their mum.

We have been on Meridian TV this week. Jacob and Lewis have an air of uncertainty about all the TV coverage and I know I must not push them into anything they really don't want to do. But I can't help but feel really excited even though the circumstances are ridiculously sad.
