Awake and up all night

Good morning Gill. Sorry to hear that you had a turbulent day yesterday. Apathy is a tricky one, particularly when you are piling in the effort. I sometimes throw the apathy switch when it's a better option than letting concerns gain a hold. It is not a healthy state though. I'm sure that deep down OH knows that his occasionally ferocious angel is someone to obey - for his own good. Well done for making up afterwards. Me and my late wife went through a phase of being sulkers. A week of that eventually made us go nuts, agree to a truce on her terms, then sweetness and light returned. Relationships can  be hard work. On a different note, my daughter is here again applying matt Gentle Fawn to the front room walls. The colour does not look the same  as on the colour chart but I actually prefer its slightly darker shade which also has undertones of lilac. Sandy, her dog, is lying at my feet, patiently waiting for me to get my lunch. He loves a small piece of my mini pork pie and even a tiny slice of crunchy radish. I always check to ensure dogs can eat lunch things before letting his natural instinct to eat anything and everything overpowers his common sense. Love and hugs from me.  xxx   

Hi lilymoo

Welcome to the group.  I'm so sorry to hear about your daughter's cancer diagnosis.  Wishing you both the very best of luck with whatever treatment she receives.

Best wishes

Sorry to hear that you are feeling rotten.  Hope you feel better soon.

Hello. 
I hope you managed to get some more sleep after taking your medication? 
I am not too bad, thanks. 

Rest as much as you can. Listen to what your body is telling you. It is horrible not knowing what side effects you are going to get. 
Do you have a helpline that you can call if you need to? We are all here. xx

Good luck with your injection. xx

Sending you huge hugs. xx

Hello Ray (RayMK ) 

That reminds like me at Christmas a few years ago. We had all the family round and they left us with a pile of washing up. I tried to get out of it by playing “The Big C Card”. And quite rightly she said there’s no such thing, get your hands in the sink!!

Lo and behold - look what I found online a few months later.

Needless to say when we had a family BBQ and I “produced my card” not only was it confiscated I had to wash and dry and she didn’t speak to me for a couple of days. It took 9 months to rescue my card!!

’I’ve not played it since!!

Afternoon Ray

Thank you hon, much appreciated words.

I've never really been a sulker, more spontaneously combusting at the drop of a hat has always won the day, unfortunately. But I like your style and acquiescing to your dear, late wife was probably your best move. My late grandad could sulk for weeks on end and it highly amused our whole family - not my granny, though.

Gentle Fawn not only sounds lovely, but I bet it looks great on your walls, too. You have a lovely daughter Ray, and huge credit to her for decorating and bringing along Sandy to share your lunch. You sound like a smashing doggy grandad for making sure you don't upset his tum. You're a sweetheart.

Hugs and love and enjoy your refreshed surroundings when complete xxx

Brian, I'm going to show that card to OH when he gets up! xxx

I need to get Jon one of those  xxx
