AWAKE.........

seaspirit44 - Hello lovely lady, so glad you are having a good time.

I can sympathise with you with your feet, I ruined my feet with cheap version of 'crocs' - they didn't have any support in them for my arches, I didn't know anything about this at the time, I wore them all the time, then one day I noticed how painful it was to stand bare foot on the carpet in the living room, so I changed from wearing crocs and the pain was terrible.  I search high and low - then I found Sketchers, owwww my the relief from these is amazing (I did write about them a year or two back on here) the memory soul in them is fantastic, my feet can stand and walk for hours (pity I can't).  The ones I love and swear by are called Sketchers D'Lites, I have the 'mule/clog' one that you slip on and off.  I am just in the process of ordering from the States as for some reason we can't get this one over here (thankfully I have a good friend that has said if I can order them they will bring them back for me (air steward, so traveling back and forth).  They do a trainer in these too - so comfortable.

I'm off to bed and safe journey back tomorrow xxxxx

Night everyone xxxx 

Hello toxophilite, really pleased to hear your good news, what a tramatic 18 months you have had - now you can take it all in and relax. Phew, so very pleased for you.

Feel sorry for you with the cramping - this must be terrible.  This might help in the short term, my late mother-in-law swore by an old wives tail....

place a bar/tablet of soap in bed with you - stops you from getting cramp.   I will add, I do agree that it does work, might be worth giving it a go whilst you sort out seeing doctors. 

Sending Love and Hugs, Nighty Night xxxx

Well tonight I was prepared, I called in the EXPERTS............

Well they looked very official! Although here I am WIDE AWAKE at 3am AGAIN!!!!!!!! Sorry Sheepy friends I tried! I think I can safely say I have tried almost everything. However here I am, still awake!

One night I will sleep right through! It's just tonight isn't the night! I won't give up!! Together we will find a solution! Until then we keep laughing! As that's better than the alternative, of getting stressed and upset about it! 

Love you guys. Awake or asleep, I still love you xxxxxx

Okay, time to TRY ..........

I AM FEELING SLEEPY

I AM TIRED

I AM GOING TO DRIFT INTO A CALMING SLEEP

I AM GOING TO.............

PROBABLY lie here for the rest of the night, wide AWAKE watching rubbish on You Tube! But DON'T tell the Sheep! Sweet Dreams my Friends xxxxxxxxxxx

Ha ha hello,LondonLass sheep!!...I am sorry for you still being awake,but I am too!!however,I have been asleep.Woke up,went to loo,got back into nice warm bed,only to find I needed the loo again.Tempted to have a cuppa but may make me need to get up again.

so glad you had a nice meal, and had a lovely time visiting Covent Garden.

and yes,WhatHappened...I have found Sketchers too!!they are so great I have gone a bit mad buying a few !!

.....

am meeting a friend to go to Vistorian Christmas market tomorrow,and am busy wondering what to dress up in.I love dressing up in costume(..it is my alter- ego!!she says she wont mind dear,if I want to dress up as a Victorian woman for the day....my friends humour me...)

I do have some bloomers which I bought at a Vintage shop in Edinburgh years ago.I am sure they won’t fit,but,I will try them just in case.(Obviously will wear a dress over them!)

I might stop short at the bonnet though,as it is in my locale...

Well,with that rather dreamy picture in mind I will try and get some more sleep.An elderly Nursing Sister said on holiday that her GP told her to get up and have some protein or carbohydrate like a biscuit I suppose,when she cant sleep.

i love the old-fashioned ideas like that!they are so warming and often work.xx

Hi Violetsniff and LondonLass

im here too ! Wide awake ! Eating crunchy nut and drinking decaf coffee and watching recorded Cironation Street !!! 

Im fine but up to loo then wide awake ! Trying to stop the demons in my mind waking up !!! Looking forward to drinking Gin with work mates for an hour or two tonight . Then Saturday at Malmaison in Dundee for Dinner B and B and cocktails with old friends who live in Fife, so meeting half way . 

Fatigue reared it’s ugly head this week but still went to aqua aerobics, then rested and visited friend just to sit , chat and a wee prosecco or two ! 

Mmmm too much alcohol mentioned on here . 

Sweet dreams lively Ladies 

Ruby Rose  xxxx 

Hi!!

Looks like you have a social whirl going on up there in Scotland!which part do you live in?My Papa and his folk came from Newhaven and then before that,Fife...

Isn’t Corry good at the moment?

hooe she doesn’t go into care.(the child,not the Mother-in-law,although....)

sorry,I digress,

I still couldnt sleep so got up and put my Christmas decorations up and finished a little decoupage project...then found a drawer full of ribbons and ideas and hung some lace and ...and....

Anyway,I do hope you got some sleep in the end....

Morning all.......

Wish I had the body to hula, but think those days are long gone! 

Well I am hoping that Violetsniff and Ruby Rose managed to get a bit more sleep! Hope you both kept those night time demons at bay! Violetsniff that market sounds like great fun! Do we get to see a Pic of you all dressed up?! 

Hope everyone is doing okay. Thinking of all you Chemo Ladies and keeping fingers and toes crossed that Hotel BHS can be avoided!  So keep snuggled up and avoid those germ ridden creatures called.......children!!!

Couldn't resist!!

So today I plan to do as little as possible so I can get my last few cards written and my presents wrapped! It's strange, I used to love wrapping gifts. Now I just find it really really hard work! Seriously how does cancer/fatigue manager to take the fun out of everything! Or is that just me using it as an excuse?!

Well whatever you are up yo, may it be a day full of Love and Laughter. Sending ((((((((((BIG HUGS))))))))) to all. Xxxxxxxxx

One last, but very important thing...........

YOU MADE IT ali owl, one by one you ticked off those Chemo's! It was a long hard slog, but you my friend did amazingly well. I hope you aren't feeling too rough this morning! But if you are remind yourself that you are feeling like this for the very last time!

Take Care My Lovely xxxxxxxx

LondonLass, hope you slept xxx
