Awake and up all night

Julie, hope your meeting goes smoothly today!  Are you taking someone with you?  I found this really helped me as I get very forgetful.

Great stuff Dani!  Thank you for providing the link for Julie.

Morning Steve.

In case Julie can't get back to you yet, her hubby's going with her so that's good.

Gill, I know, in my case, I had loads of questions but couldn't get them out.  My partner had her feet firmly planted in the ground and asked everything and more!

The words were just going straight over my head!

Thanks Gill.

We all do that. Sometimes it can help though. Years ago I was told I needed open surgery for a benign breast lesion but wasn't happy about that. I googled for alternative procedures for such and found something that helped. I found that something called a 'mammotome' could do the procedure under local anaesthetic, without open surgery. I was transferred to a hospital that had the mammotome and the process took about 20 minutes and was minimally invasive.

Moral of the story is that it's not always a bad thing to arm yourself with information.

The trick is using reputable sources, trusting your instincts and knowing your own body. 

Hello Gill H,

That brings back memories for me, when I was a lad (68 now) we had a caravan at Barmston where I spent most of my formative years every weekend and annual holidays during the season.

It was a second home and I had some great friends there from around Yorkshire and also some who lived locally.

Happy days!

Yep, even if my H could talk he's not the most forthcoming guy anyway.  He's content to leave all the yapping to me as I can talk for the UK!

It's good that your lass is the same - it makes your life that bit easier.

That's the process I use now.  The days of scaring myself witless are over and I use reputable sites only.  I've helped H this way and his oncologist endorsed it when we had a discussion.

Well done you, for getting the outcome you wanted.

Hi there!

I was made in '58 but not quite destructed - yet!

Well you lucky lad - I yearn to go back to Barmston, I really think it's our spiritual home.

We live in West Yorkshire, so a nice steady run would get us there in around two hours.  The excitement to see the sea would start building at Fridaythorpe, knowing we were on the home run. 

When my lasses were young we'd go in the site club and enter the competitions.  It was great fun and I've still got the trophies we won!  We've had the best of times there and I'd go back in a heartbeat if it was possible.

Aw, I'm glad someone on here feels the same as us as we reckon you can't beat a caravan holiday at the seaside.  Annette must be of our ilk, too.

Nice talking to you and thank you for getting me in reminiscent mode.  Glorious!

We live in Tadcaster, so a slightly shorter journey. We do like a long walk by the sea then fish & chips in Brid!
