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

    Never had much luck with cats...1st one we had I think was the 'runt of the litter' 2nd done a runner and the 3rd got hit by a car, came home took to the vets which cost a fortune then he done a runner, though did have 2 springer spaniels at the time and think they scared him off!! glad you had a nice day today...who said to you about the grapefruit? how about liquidising water melon and freezing, really refreshing xx

    Hi Shezie used to go Snetterton to watch the Superbikes, never fell down any holes there lol!! the name of that place will bug me now, you'd drive past the railway pub then do a right into the industrial estate and drive past some 'real posh' houses, one of them was an old converted barn then past fields full of corn cobs..xx
