Awake and up all night

Omg, Julie  It really does sound like modern day torture.

You're one brave lady though, and I think you'll tackle it. Although you're going to take a lot of things to keep you entertained when you do go into hospital, you could always post here, when you're up to it, to while away some time. We'd be more than glad to chat and update you.

Hugs and love sweetheart xxx

We will do our best to provide moral support. There are many good listeners on here. I don't think I'd manage injecting myself. Much more likely to run outside screaming (Snag: I walk very slowly, using two sticks. My vocal range is so poor that the scream would be lousy.). Time is a great friend in these medical situations. It ticks by, things happen, then suddenly a phase has been endured. Still tough though.  xxx

Thanks Ray.

Yes, it will pass and no doubt we'll muddle through! We tick each thing off xxx

Fuuuuuuuu! Such a lot of chat to catch up on.

My scan this morning was fine, didn't even have to take my shoes off! I was asking questions but forgot to ask how long for results. As it's a bone density thing I am hoping for a prescription for cheese.

After my very early start I have not stopped all day so am stiff and shattered. Another post this morning got gobbled up so hope this works.

So many people I should wish well but to our lovely bus driver... I am sorry that your Trade Union doesn't appear to have gotten back to you. You REALLY need some advice to sort out once for all whether your dismissal followed due process. If it did, however unfair it feels, you can then move on.

You also need advice on debt management as well as maximising your benefit entitlement. I say debt management not because I think you have been rubbish at handling your money, but you will have bills that are the same or higher than when you were working that you cannot possibly cover now.

There are some things you need to have explained such as which are priority debts, when the right thing is to ask for a payment holiday or longer repayment term etc 

The help is out there ... with advice, sadly not with an extra wallet.

Start with MACMILLAN helpline. The thing to avoid is several different organizations as it makes their work nigh on impossible due to treading on toes and knowing who has said what to whom.

If one organisation agrees they can help, they will expect to be the only one unless they seek specialist additional advice.

Ok folks yawwwwn ahem saying Nyt hope this posts 

It did post Shimmer, and I think Steve the bus will appreciate your sound advice.

Fingers crossed everything works out well for you sweetheart but you must get some good rest now.

Night night sweetie and I hope you manage to sleep   xxx

Hi Gill,

Just got in after a couple of cold beers and hot food, just after 7pm here - 3am Saturday back home.

You're right, we were here here last year, I'll try to send some 'photos from this trip but bear with me as I've forgotten how to do that - memory shot from prostate cancer treatment I'm afraid.

I wish they would take my bet now, knowing what I do.

Derek.

6 hour drive to Pembrokeshire. Arrived 1am this morning.Feel cream crackered today. It's very humid down here. Will just chill today. Hope you're all ok. Love Ukiboy 

Hope it goes well. Just hunker down and hibernate with some tasty treats.

Good girl  I love a Christmas movie.

It sounds like you won't get bored and that you'll need a big suitcase
