  • So today my Dad would be 94!  He was reunited with my mother in 1990.  He was a man who never made conversation for the sake of it but in the two years he was widowed I talked to him more than in previous twenty odd years as he missed my mother's constant chatter.   If  you asked him what he wanted for his birthday he'd say a biscuit as they didn't have presents as children . He didn't eat biscuits but we'd wrap one in foil for a laugh. He didn't understand the hype on presents & cards he said just do nice things for people.  If we argued, which we didn't often , I was a sulker (like my mother ) and if he noticed I wasn't speaking to him he'd say "we've both said our piece , we live in same house so we will speak ".   Happy memories Two hearts

  • Bless him, , sounds like the old school….

    I know I'm very lucky in that I'm not having to deal with hospital appointments,  but life really is getting back to normal. We've had an afternoon at the theatre and a meal at our local pub Grinning

  • Oh that sounds just amazing, , how lovely for you!

  • Lovely family pics (awful your BiL cancer has returned) ... and

    What an extremely poor service from your GP Good advice from If I want to ask for input from GP it’s via an email service. It’s worked so far. I’ve also had a telephone consult regarding a shoulder problem last year but how he could assess me was a mystery. Obviously he couldn’t as my referral to physio said back problem !!

      ... good you’ve got some normality back. 

    I hope everyone has as good a night/day as possible.

  • Thanks hope you can get some too.

    loved this which I read today….

  • Morning!! Thank you all for you words of support yesterday, really made such a difference and all your advice which I’m going to take, never occurred to me to email until you’ve both said and makes so much sense. I slept better!!!! God I’m almost crying tears of joy!! Woke up at 1 and was awake for a bit but then slept until 6.15! Longest stretch I’ve had in ages and best nights sleep I’ve had since chemo began, when I opened my eyes and it was daylight I couldn’t believe it. I am also pleased to report my bits feel a bit better today!!
