Awake and up all night

Good morning Jonsnow and a very warm welcome to our little group  

You're not THE Jon Snow are you? Just joking but waking at that time every morning takes some time to get rid of the habit. Here's the nosey stuff - were you a shift worker or did you have another job? My OH had to take ill health retirement in June as there was no way he could return to his job. Like yourself, his surgery and side effects put paid to that, but he's happy and content with his decision now.

You drop in anytime, night or day, as we're all happy to chat. Sending you all the best and hugs xxx

 Gill H eddiel Morning.  I must be thick or something... But what's a 'bosie'?  You both seem to have a lot of them! 

Hi.

Thankyou for youre reply.

No not the real Jon snow,just a massive Game if thrones fan 

No not a shift worker. I'm a cleaner and do 4 hrs in the morning until 9:30 so I have the rest of the day to myself and spend time with my kids. I'm actually a mum of two older teens.

I'm really hoping to go back to work soon but waiting on Radiotherapy as my stage 4 rea cured melenoma tumour is growing.

I just feel so frustrated and everyday is the same.

I get so lonely sometimes 

I'd like to stick to a hobby but have the attention span of a NAT atm.

All the best to you and your OH.

It's been so lovely to chat 

Morning Steve.

Bosie is a Scottish Gaelic word for hug, so I've been told, and they're very catching! You're definitely not thick.

Hope your weekend went well my friend. Have a bosie on me xxx

Ahhhhhh... and a big bosie to you!

Morning again my lovely.

Hey, one of my jobs in the past was cleaning and I loved it! I was actually the supervisor, so besides my stint I was responsible for the wellbeing of the team, their wages and maintaining the machinery. All that for an extra quid a week! But the folk I worked with were the best and we'd have a right laugh.

Aw sorry to hear about your health issues, but hopefully your hospital is on with it and doing everything to get you well again. You sound a bit bored, and the days can be long if your usual routine has lapsed, so I'm sure the good folk here will come up with something to help occupy you. Here's an idea - if you've got a library nearby, they've usually got lots of local things on offer, so maybe have a look? Unless your teens are unusually quiet, they'll probably keep you on your toes! I know mine did but they're in their forties now, so those days are long gone!

I've never watched G of T so didn't realise the Jon Snow connection. Silly me. Right my lovely, I need to get cracking but I'll be back later and others will probably pop in too, as we don't want anyone to be lonely. See you later and take care xxx

Hi lass, and another warm welcome from me, sadly you'll find your experiences familiar to many of us, but there is a way through my friend, and I hope your upcoming radiotherapy will do its thing and you start to move on, returning to work, occupying your mind, and lifting that dark cloud that comes with cancer, I was sorry to hear immunotherapy was so tough, will you be able to try an alternative which is manageable, I hope so, and it's lovely to hear you've 2 kids, teenagers as well, wonderful, best wishes to you and your family xx

Hi Steve, Gilly's explanation is lovely but not full, bosies is early Scottish and means bosoms, later meaning a hug 

Eddiel 

Eddie, I'd forgotten about the boobies connection. Lol! Must get on, so laters my friend xxx

Hi, I have replied to you, but sent it to Gilly by mistake, bloody cancer, lol xx
