Hello Shrinki, thanks for saying hi x. The sleep thing is a real problem now :sigh: I haven't slept properly for 3 or 4 years , but the last few weeks have been ridiculous! :( The docs is a last resort...I've never had to take meds to help me cope or take time off...I've always managed beforehand :(

But in the past you have not had quite so much doo doo being thrown at you one after the other.
Do see the doctor Dawn. Paul got some tablets last Wed. and it has made such a difference to him. They are a hypnotic rather than a tranquilizer. He takes one when he gets into bed and sleeps right through and has no after effects. He feels refreshed from his nights sleep. Hang on I will get the name of the drug O.K. back with it...it is zolpidem which I think is only prescribed for short term use until you have regained your sleep rhythm

Pics are goin on hunni!!! :D

Only 3 I'm afraid...cos us serious walkers can't hang about taking snaps you know! :rolleyes:

The pics are great and the place and the tearooms look wonderful.

Aww Mumsie xxx

I wish you were here! :needhug: I'm so fed up of coping :sigh: I'll be fine...I'll go up to bed now and see if I can sleep. It's tempting to have a glass of wine or something but I really don't want to start going down those lines. I'm ok...and Sarah is always about if I need her...we're fast turning into best friends :D

Luv ya Mumsie xxx

I am so glad you girls are such good friends it makes me very happy.

If only I could give you a great big hug and sit you down and have a good chat with you. One day ....!!!!

Anyway, evening/morning ladies and Steve, and Sarah xxx

Good news today/yesterday!...Gwyns operation is next Thursday so we're over the moon with that :) They could have done him this Thursday but I think it was just a bit too quick for Gwyn so he's going in next week, 09.00hrs. And it's the start of my week off which is fab so I'll be able to look after him :D I know it's close to Christmas but who cares? We just want to put this all behind us x

So pleased about that Dawnie because as we know the waiting bit is the very worst, the pits in fact.

That Gwyn's surgeon is optimistic is the best sign you can get that the chances are it is going to be the least harmful skin cancer and who cares about a scar. They can be so sexy and think of the wonderful stories he can weave around it when he has grandchildren sitting on his knee. It could be anything he wants it to be. xxxxx

I had a really lovely time with Sarah on our walk. She picked me up and we did a very nice country walk incorporating some of the Castle Ashby estate Welcome to Castle Ashby Gardens . And it didn't rain...although it was very windy! We ended up at a beautiful little tea room called The Buttery Welcome to The Buttery Restaurant, where we celebrated our 6 mile trot with a big bowl of carrot and coriander soup and a brown roll...yummy.

Sarah...thanks for a great morning, for the walk, for the chat, for the laughs, and for being so damn nice despite your numerous, persistent yet futile claims not to be Sorry!!! :bolt:

For tea we had the sw microwave spinach and lentil dahl which was absolutely gorgeous as always!

So...off to bed now to try to get some sleep...wish me luck! :rolleyes:

Thanks Shrinki...I'll try that xxx

Think part of my problem is that I try to put the next day off coming cos I worry that yet more bad news is coming...so I hang on to the current day as long as possible.

Stupid I know, and it doesn't stop the bad stuff...just makes me tired lol!

And of course like everyone else, it's when I do my thinking...and it's so hard to switch off.

But I'll try the breathing hunni...thank you xxx

Now you get some sleep yourself madam...!

Women and thinking.....LMAO. Know your limits, girlie, know your limits, stick to photography and , oh, erm wait a minute. I know you took 100 - still being developed are they?;)

Breathing and thinking. Be careful Dawn:p

I thought you were on plan this week? :8855:

Do make time for YOU! You are always on the go and never seem to sit and just do nothing. That list of yours for today makes me tired just reading it!
 
The lazy so-and-so did plenty of sitting yesterday, Bev, while I gave her a piggy back all round Castle Ashby, Grendon and Yardley Hastings.

It's all put on, you know.
She never does a thing.
That poor husband of hers...
 
Actually, I retract that last post.
Unreservedly and without prejudice.

Will it go away if I write the same thing backwards?

Hmmm...

Just in the nick of time...:rolleyes:

I shall accept your retraction as a form of apology ;)

But you still owe me one for taking this week off without my permission...

Suppose I'll have to have my coffee all alone tomorrow now :cry:
 
Yeah, but you did get the pleasure of my company yesterday, for much longer than a coffee break.
Which you wouldn't have done if I hadn't had the week off.

And you never know, maybe I'll come in specially for you.
 
Hello guys x

Well I can cross off everything from my list apart from writing the xmas cards. Oh, and I didn't actually talk to mum either, but Gwyn did, so that's just as good :D

So there are parcels winging their way to Spain and various other parts of the world :47:

And the inside decs are done. It was too windy to go climbing ladders to put the outside lights up so we'll have to do that at the weekend. :48:

And as for Herman...OMG he was delicious!!! I wasn't going to have any, wot with me trying to be good and on plan for a few days :eek:, but he just looked and smelt so damn tasty...

So I completely folded and had to have him!!! :eek:

And he was sooooo worth it lol! This time, instead of cinnamon, I added almond essence, dessicated coconut and mixed fruit...

And he was lush lol!!!

Anyway, must go visiting cos I want to be in bed by midnight...work tomorrow and I suppose I should show willing ... while I still have a job! :sigh:

Have a good evening everyone, lots of love xxx

Well...that would be a nice gesture...and go a very little way towards making it up to me...
 
JimofTroy said:
I can't go round making NICE gestures.
What would that do to my reputation?
Click to expand...

Not nice Sarah...

Just good manners!!! :rolleyes:

Shall I make it easier for you...?

I'll bring your flask into work...

If you want to come and pick it up you would be more than welcome to join me for a cup of black tea/coffee...

ok? ;)
 
Oh...

And Sarah...

This is for you x
