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

    I thought Grot or grotty was an everywhere word!

    You can have various degrees of grot or grotty

    no milk and no coffee is a grot start to the day

    major work issues and bust ups with boss is a really grot day

    a so/so day but not heading into 'good' is a not too grot day

    having someone nick yer doughnut is a major grot day

    Rofl visited Moomy at the weekend. Grot is a small cave. Grotto is a large one. Shealahs are abundant in Australia but no match for Kates.

    Oscar went dancing yesterday to the diggeridoo and I got knocked out of the way by Japanese tourists clamouring to take his photo.

    Ha ha ha schmoost went to a portugese zoo the other day was watching the apes, was eating chocolate peanuts at the time and threw a few to the apes
    The dirty buggers kept shoveing them up the rear before eating them
    said to the zookeeper "thats disguisting why are they shoveing them up the arsenals before eating them?"
    He replied " someone threw them a peach each the other day and they couldnt shit the stone, so now they try everything out"
