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

    Thanks mate, you know you can crease me up but you can make me catch my breath as well, irene was a lucky lady and you a lucky man, her and Db would be a force to be reckoned with, what a gorgeous thought, theyd take no shit but they would laugh so much together, most probably at us two, hope there is a heaven, now I am off to bed before I offened anybody

    Goodnight buddy, sleep well

    A bloke goes own the pub and his mate says "you're late tonight".
    He says "yes, I just murdered the wife".
    His mate says "don't make jokes like that".
    He says "I'm not joking, I buried her in the garden".
    His mate said "I don't believe you".
    He said "come home with me now and I'll show you".
    So they go back to the blokes house and sure enough there is a pile of disturbed earth and a bum sticking out.
    "Why did you leave her bum sticking out" said his mate.....

    "I needed some where to park my bike.......".
