Hope your day is ok xxx

Morning Dinggle, although I hope to God you're sleeping now lovey  xx

Aw sweetie pie, I was still awake after 4am so didn't miss you by that long, but tiredness caught up in the end. 

Eureka! I found it, the joke in your Hill. Benny Hill, no less. I don't think I look much like him but always loved his puerile SOH since I first found him on the box and when he'd look to camera with that look of 'What?' I do that all the time, but not to camera as I'm not famous, but you can call me Benny any time you please - an in joke if you like.

Dinggy, next time you're wide awake at arse o' clock, I hope it's a little earlier and hopefully you'll catch the night owl batch before we've hung up our feathers, and we can make it a looney tunes group chat.

Your kindness knows no bounds, supporting others going through the mill whilst also being high up on the windmill sails yourself. You really are wonder woman and I don't care if Brian gets miffed but you've deffo got a hell of a lot of grandpa's Yorkshire grit coursing through your veins. You're reyt champion, our lass!

Now lovey, the emotional rollercoaster you're riding is taking everything out of you right now and you've entered zombie land. Zombies don't like to sleep, so try and thwart chief zombie by getting a shed load in and becoming human again. That'll grab him where it hurts. *Wince* Maybe Raymondo has some tips in that dept. Sorry Ray but that friend came back to ask if they make zombie catheters - we need an extra painful one so Dingg can get chief Z off her back.

Right my chicken, enough rambling so I'll get off and say hello to ChloX, whom I'm hoping is also asleep, probably is if she's read this load of rollox. I need you to promise your virtual older Yorkshire sister that you're going to take the greatest care of yourself, try to eat and sleep whenever you can but most of all to keep being you. You're irreplaceable.

All my love, sweet Dingg Dong xxx

Good morning Chlo, and another warm welcome to add to Dingg's very early warm one.

So sorry to hear about all the worries you're experiencing at this time my love, but rest assured you're definitely not alone. You'll find the folks here are wonderful listeners and there are plenty of shoulders to lean on and hands to hold if that's what you need. Now they're virtual ones so I'm hoping you have some real life bodies around to do the honours.

Drop in anytime you need a chat and you'll usually find a fair few about to chat back with.

Take care sweetheart, and sending you hugs xxx

Hi you are all lovely amd welcoming group of people. Its nice to chat to you all. Ive been sleeping lately. But i habe been feeling very low and  fatigued recently. I wasnt allowed to have my final chemotherapy on 28th july fingers crossed on 4th august now. 

Weather being cooler is nicer i think. Hope everyone managed to have a good nights sleep last night.

Big cwtches sent to everyone

Hi Amanda  

After some faffing about I replied to your PM. I'm really unsure about my phone and wonder if it's at fault with messages flying off into the ether. Must get the tablet out of the moth balls.

Hope you feel better really soon sweetheart xxx cwtch 

Thank you all so much for your kind words! Looking after myself, nan and my young son all at the same time definitely takes its toll. 
but my Nan looked after me all of my life so now is my time. 
can’t imagine life without her. 
but I’m strong for her my days are so busy I sleep at 10pm then awake from 2am onwards with thoughts! 
getting my head around it all, thank goodness there are some people who are in the same boat x thank you all x

Afternoon Chlo

Wow, looking after 3 generations must be a tough job and if I was wearing one, I'd take my hat off to you. Well done for being a superb mum and granddaughter. I'm sure Nan and Son really appreciate everything you do. Just make sure you look after yourself too, my lovely.

Ah Chlo, the dreaded 2am call to arms. What is it about waking up at that particular hour? I'll need to research it and get back to you as I'm certain there'll be something written about it.

I'm guessing junior will be on his school holidays now but hopefully he'll allow you and Nan some breathing space to relax in between all the chores.

Here's an idea for tonight - maybe, if you haven't tried this already, put a podcast or soothing music on and see if that will keep you in a more restful slumber. It's worth a try hon, but your alternative could be to join the night owls in our overnight chat and see if that'll do the trick. You'll be more than welcome.

Hugs and love knocking at your door any second xxx

Hello Amandas, wishing you a straightforward 4th August chemo session. 

I went up to bed at around 2am last night, then realised that my catheter was due for a routine flush. At 3-30am I finally climbed into bed, not too concerned because I planned to lie-in today to recover from the late night. At 10am my son knocked on the bedroom door. He has got an electric car. I did not hear him arrive outside. Smiling through my grumpiness, I agreed to go to Leighton Buzzard with him to look at folding electrically assisted bikes (legal ones!) at a dealer there. I enjoyed the trip out but now, back home, I feel as though I need sleep. Sending hugs. Ray xx
