    Mum has gone with dad for the night to Winchester, he has some work to do in Adover so she thought she would go with him and just potter around doing "bits"

  • My mothers carer.
    The worst daughter anyone could be saddled with.
    The title says it all I suppose, well that's what I was told by her last week ( not for the first time), but this time I do believe she meant it with all her heart. You may know I've always had a difficult relationship with her in fact if I'm truthful she's bullied me all my life and although I con myself into thinking I'm a grown woman and able to deal with her never ending snide snips at me, I'm not. But I was told of an incident that happened last week involving a good friend and mother, she...

    August 2012

    I can't believe that I've not posted for such a long time. 7 months, I think.

    Its now the start of August 2012, and I've had quite a quiet year so far.  Spend from January to June completing my Beauty course at Bridgwater College.....and loving every minute of it, even though I was by for the oldie in the class.  It's so nice to be with the young people, their enthusiasm for life and new experiences is very infectious.  I'm now very busy with my own home salon under the name of Given...

  • Two control freaks and one gets cancer.
    Some days I am a selfish cow....

    My husband has deep tougne base cancer.

    We were both sucesfull happy workaholics until an unwelcome visitor turned up one day. Some days we do well, it's light and happy and cancer is just a ghost in the background and I get some work done.

  • Feeling alone
    Feeling helpless

    My husband was diagnosed with stomach and liver cancer earlier this year, and I feel my whole world is falling apart. I feel so alone in all of this and am not coping. He is unable to have any treatment regarding the cancers because my husband was already in heart failure, so its just palliative care.I Just feel I should be doing more for him although I give him all the care I can, I find myself constantly asking if he is okay and wishing I could just take all this away. Its awful to watch someone...
