Well here i am again at 4.30 in the morning and i can't sleep yet again!! My husband Darryl has terminal small cell cancer and, at the moment is going through a really good phase. Which, i would have thought, would set my mind at rest and enable me to sleep. But no, here i am again having had 2 hrs sleep tonight wide awake with mad thoughts running around my head!! This is driving me crazy and i just seem to be on auto pilot all the time. Darryl is 44 years old and we have been given a prognosis of a 2-3 year life span for him. I can't seem to let go of this thought, and maybe part of me can't sleep because of that, as i feel if i'm asleep i'm wasteing precious time!! Darryl is sound asleep and resting well, and if i stay upstairs next to him listening to his breathing, i keep thinking is this the last time i'll ever hear that and end up getting so uptight and worried that i find it better to just get up again. So i wander round the house do a few chores, have a hot caffiene free drink and will myself to sleep all to no avail i might add!! hahaha surely i'm not the only carer who never sleeps, or am i????? any comments gratefully recieved. Take care my friends and hope your all sleeping well. love and hugs mel xxx

    Now I have a funny story about water leaks. Many years ago when the children were babies, I had done some work in the bathroom, fiting a vanity unit which meant removing and replacing the taps.

    I got up the next morning and was only wearing shorts and went into the bathroom to brush my teeth. As I turned the cold tap on, it came off in my hand. I grabbed a towel and used it to try and stop the water. Because it was the cold tap the pressure was too high but I did manage to stem the flow. I called to Irene in a sort of loud whisper, I didn't want to wake the kids and said "Irene, the tap's come off come here". "What?" she said. "the cold tap has come off, come here1". I said. "sod off" she said, "you're only trying to get me out of bed to make you a coffee". "No the f**cking tap has come off and the water is squirting all over the place, come here !" I said. "If you're joking you'll regret it" she said. "just get your arse in here NOW !" I said. " "say please" she said "@#;~~&&£"£$%Y&Y". I said. "not if you swear at me" she said. By now she appeared at the bathroom door with an expression of a bulldog licking the piss off a nettle.

    When she saw that I was NOT joking, I told her to hold the towel over the pipe while I rushed downstairs, out of the front door (it was before I put a door from the house into the garage) and opened the garage door to get at the stop cock. She grabbed the towel and I forgot I was only in shorts.

    I rushed down stairs, opened the door and realised I didn't have the garage keys. I ran back to get them. On the way out I collided with the milkman who was bending over putting the milk down and collecting the empties. I actually rolled over his back and landed on the drive with my shorts around my knees.

    At this point he dropped his milk and went into a defensive 'boxing' stance, fists clenched and raised ! As I struggled to my feet he said something along the lines of dirty f*cking homo.........I didn't have time to argue, I opened the garage door and switch off the water. I apologised to the milky and went back to re-fit the tap.

    The next week after Irene had paid him, she said "I'm the one who is supposed to come to the door in the nude and seduce the milkman - not you".
