I have been off air for a few days, still feeling rotten after last chemo and associated digestive problems and tiredness. Reading back through threads I have missed has taken a while. The forum does need to be a safe place for people to discuss all sorts of difficult things, a place of compassion and empathy, but also a place for gallows humour and silliness at times too. The reason I come on here is to hear from other people, their experiences, their feelings and ideas , to offer input when asked for, to vent , to be able to speak without worrying too much about difficult things, death, side effects , worries and to have a laugh too. I am not operating at 100% today i know - brain fog is slowly lifting now. So when I feel sharper, I hope to be back to form and interact. To those of you who have had good news - great, to those worrying about bad news and suffering scanxiety - you have already had some wise and kind words. Me, I am off to bed after a crap week ( side effects, car finally given up the ghost in a most inconvenient place and time). Hope to wake up tomorrow and find it was all a bad dream, my car isn't for scrapping and those side effects have finally disappeared.

I have never bought a new car either, and this one is just a newer one than the one that died. That was 15 years old and as I said somewhere else - a shed on wheels, but a good un. Now i have another slightly newer one, with only 27k on the clock - another old codgers no doubt. I am just so taken with its sparkliness and clean state - wont last past this week. I have ordered a boot cover thing so the dogs wont make too much of a mess. I make a vow to clean it regulalry, but I know I wont- I am very self aware!
I have watched After Life - I am not a Gervais fan but this is one of his better as far as I am concerned - maybe a bit sentimental and def so in series 3. But I love the irreverence and the swearing and the dog. And it is brave to deal with death and grief in such an unusual way.
I'm the same when it comes to the cleaning, I bought my pickup truck in July 2019 because I got pension money and fancied a new toy to collect logs. I washed it and polished it after I bought it and I think I washed it once in 2020 & 2021. It's a 2013 reg and I'll probably sell it in February as I am now not fit enough to collect logs.
Where is this broadcast OBS? Do you know if it's on Amazon Prime? haven't seen it anywhere. Rainie x
Hi OBS, That's great you are pleased with your "new to you" new car. I'm now on my third Motabillity Car, I can hardly believe it.
I'm not keen on Ricky Gervais either but will have a look at this, thanks! Now remember, I will be asking you next week whether or not you've cleaned your car!!! Lol!
Love Annette x
