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
Every day as it comes eh paul? Tereasa,not got lemonade you,re gonna have to drink it neat! You nearly no where i live now,could walk to the worlds end from here, no xcuse not to pop over and join me in a drink or ten , trouble is the landlord a miserable B,Guess we can handle him XX
when my sis angela had a gerbil she had for about a year think she was about 7 hse got up 1 morning and told us her gerbil was dead we said how do you no it could be sleeping so she showed me she took it out the cage and banged it down on the table it was rock hard .I COULDNT BELIVE IT she loved the bloody thing and when she banged it down a nearly burst out laughing xxxx
Shezie.. your Dad sounds like a marvellous guy, I too thought/think the same of my Dad (mum too) in being the person I am because of them, get that lemon sliced I'm on my way over, as for the landlord am sure between us we could kick his butt!!! xx
Paul...a few years back Michaela had a hamster, she pestered me to let her take it upstairs (in its cage) while I cooked dinner, I agreed on the understanding it stayed in the cage...next thing I could hear her calling 'charlie' went upstairs to find she'd got him out the cage, he'd run underneath her wardrobe and she'd tried moving the wardrobe to retrieve, thing is she actually run over him with the wardrobe, had only had him 2 days !!! she was so upset so I got her another one, he lasted a while (at the time I was doing shift work) and over several nights when coming home from work I'd find him in a bit of a lifeless state so I'd wrap him in a fleece, warm him up and 'bring him round' except 1 night he really did look 'a goner' so I got a little box and put him in it 'gently' and put him in the dustbin, which was being emptied that morning.....no'one ever told me that hamsters HIBERNATE s***t, was too late :-( xxxx
Its a date,forgot to tell you the walk back is about a mile,no street lights!, ive had a few "hibernating" hamsters, one called plastic bertrand the boomtown hamster, must have been going through my punk phase, xx
thats a cracker he went to the biggest feeding ground when he came round the tip bet he had plenty to eat then .pets can be so funny xxxx my freind had barn owls they were in a hand built cry round his back garden he went to the vet with them the would go weeks without pooing .the vet said has it been raining he said yes .ah said the vet its .(TO WET TO WHOO0 HA HA
No probs...I'll bring my torch!! shouldn't that have been a rat with a name like that?? only had one pet when we were kids, a rabbit called fluffy, think we got the runt of the litter as that was one mad 'hare'...did you watch any of Soccer Aid? xxxx
Paul...liked the joke (was it a true story though) as in your friend having barn owls? when fluffy went my sis was devastated, so it happens bugs bunny and starsky n 'hutch' were on that evening, she thought I purposely put them on to upset her more lol!! even my Dad was sat there giggling :-) xx
Will watch soccer aid wen i get up,so dont tell me the score!
Have always had loads of animals,prefere them to humans,sometimes lol trouble is im distraught wen they go, i even take my chickens to the vet wen they not well
I'll keep schtum about the score...what do you reckon it was? Michaela predicted right, would have been worth a bet, I tried getting it on 'on demand' but wasn't on there :-( Reckon Graemes fallen off his perch and Paul's prob caught up in another domestic...not a quiet life for him is it??? xxxx
