Awake and up all night

Morning Dingo

Aw great to hear that it went well, even if you did get the jitters at the start. Only natural hon, but I'll bet it was a warm occasion and everyone was sated after the tasty spread and plenty of liquid refreshment. You've done so well love, and got it done with aplomb.

Well it's also good to hear that you're chomping away on pies and I don't care it's gone 2.30am as you've made me hungry like the wolf now. Grab a carrier pigeon and send some over to Yorkshire please, Dingg.

Hey, if you ever do decide to find your roots here I'll come and see you, then you can be wittered at in real life. I've eaten chips many a time in Bridlington and it's the one place I'd move to in a heartbeat, somewhere I've always longed to live. If my dream ever comes true and that's where we end up, I'd invite you to stay and I never break a promise.

Well sweetheart, you must be shattered after yours and hubby's day so I'll leave you to your nibbles and to relax. If you're not ready yet I'll still be around for a while.

Sending you the biggest hug and lots of love xxx

Totally too daft to find the messages again lol

Feeling tired.

Just wanted to say hope Ukiboyo is ok, Ray, birdy girl, Soc, shimmering dream, Sarah and the gang including new gang members Armada and Stupot 

I've had a challenging day but l have learnt something in the shock I'm in that cling onto ...we aren't in this alone, those moments when we can't sleep, we must all think it's ok the others are also like restless moles trying to get some kip.

At this point I've probably destroyed Gill's composure over her cuppa as she now imagines all the moles...xx

Energy hugs, followed by sleep hugs coming your way.

Night sweetheart, sleepy time now xxx

Thanks Benny Gill from Dingo

Will try and sleep.

Oh yes Bridlington that's a deal xx

Beautiful place l think the best chips l ever tasted in my life.

And as a teen seeing the macho fishermen, saying to my dad where are they going now?

Dad saying they're too old for you  then we went back to our little guest house and l drank my mothers schooner of sherry thinking it was Ribena,  l did sleep then haha, giving folk ideas

Night to all thanks for keeping me on here. I'm a good example of something...l guess if only that if they switch off the light at the end of the tunnel there are alternatives 

1 get a torch

2 get a candle

3 use your mobile

4 what the heck are you doing in the flipping tunnel if you're not a train ....what the flipping Halifax....get out the tunnel before the transport police arrive...

Going now hope everyone gets some sleep, hope I'm still sane in the morning..after today....love and hugs xxx

You happy with your current look?

Yep, I'm not grey any more

I fancy one of those pastel colours but my hair is so fine that it may not be a good idea.

Good to hear all went well Dingg and you enjoyed your midnight doggy bag.

Morning all 

I'm having a blood test later this morning, hopefully nothing untoward will be found. 

I've been trying to chase up my next MRI. I've got an appointment with my oncologist on 2nd October but we're away for the whole of September and I spoke to the secretary in July and explained this, asking if the MRI could be this month but I heard nothing. I've now left 3 messages with no response so I'm giving up and if it doesn't happen in time then so be it, I've tried. Grrrr.

Hello Stu71 

No sleeping tablets. I have just accepted life as it is - let's face it, you can't change your diagnosis, results and treatment, so I just go with the flow.

Mrs M says since I received my cancer diagnosis and started on Hormone Therapy it's made me a better, calmer person with empathy and time for others.

My sleeping pattern is brilliant - now I know fatigue is a known issue of my treatment so in all this time I have resisted a "nanna-nap" in the day tried to keep busy and as a result sleep well at night. If I feel tired during the day the dog gets an extra walk!

I know we are all different - but try different things and find out what suits you best.

Best wishes - Brian.

Morning Helen  

Well that's unusual, having to chase, pester and prod for a response from your contact...

...no it's not, it's the norm

Good luck with the blood test and the other annoying issue. Hopefully, both will produce the best result xxx

Doh yet again nodded off waiting for the site to lurch into action. 

Sounds like I get lots but it's always broken and often not restful. Peel eyes open in daylight whilst  yawwwwning

Morning to all. @Dingg sorry I missed your midnight munchies, congratulations on getting through the lovely day you organized.

@Gill H ooh you reminded me of my perm. Since the age of 6 my hair has fallen out big stylee. Sometimes more than others. Age 16 my mother announced her hair dresser had French oil perms on offer and it might perk my hair up.

I had long hair (reasons are another story!) and said to the stylist can I keep the length? 'What?' sez she. 'I don't want it short' sez me. No response so I offered 'Can you layer it but keep a bit of length?' Very puzzled look so assuming she knew best, I left her to it.

Remember Chrystal Tips and Alistair? Big hair! Really big hair! She hadn't cut it all and I now had a huge sphere of tightly curled hair.

Leaving the salon, cars and pedestrians did a double take. As I approached the house, my mother looked through the window and couldn't take her eyes off me.

'I have to wet it' sez me. 'Wet it? WET IT?' gasped her. We tried. Gallons of if water later it was still like a Beefeater's busby.

She phoned hairdresser but but it would be a week before we could see the manager. A week I had to go to school and turn up for the first day of my new Saturday job.

The little under manager of the restaurant was beside herself and squeaking to the manager 'She didn't look like that when I saw her. Not when I gave her the job!'

The manager looked serious and said 'You will have to tie it up.'  I sighed and said 'There is nothing I can do but it will be sorted by next week' at which point she burst out laughing and walked off.

The hairdresser manager and my mother faced off. Manager said 'What's the problem?' Burying her fist in my ball and grabbing springy handfuls, 'there's plenty of perm in that!' 

'Problem? PROBLEM?' sez mother 'LOOK AT IT!'

Ahem! It was duly cut, my fringe selotaped to my eyebrows and sizzled with the dryer by a very disgruntled manager.

I actually ended up looking quite swish with a short style I would NEVER have chosen or thought I could carry off.

Cheers
