Hi everyone,I have had a lovely time with my grandson and his girlfriend. I made Chicken Fajitas followed by Sticky Toffee Pudding, luckily I still had some pudding in the freezer. He put my new clock up for me. I was down in the dumps this morning but feel so much better now.

Glad you had a good time with your grandson and girlfriend. Being with family or friends can give us a boost.
Your meal sounds delicious… I love sticky toffee pudding.
Linda hope Tony is comfortable tonight.
Ron good to hear Jane’s had her op. Send her my love.
Sorry not liberty bodice required here, I’m well into my thermals.

Reading what you have written, I know you understand.
You have described what so many of us, myself included, have and are experiencing.
I am not quoting exactly word for word but someone on here wrote being on here made them feel ‘normal’, a part of something again.
I can totally understand and agree with that.
This unwanted and unwelcome world we now inhabit is one we share with each other.
I will be staying, sharing my thoughts, observations, love and hugs.
I hope I will also bring the occasional smile and giggle.
I also want to continue with the Sunday candles. I will make every effort to light them tomorrow but I hope you understand if circumstances take over and I cannot.
I am afraid I will be sharing sadness.
I have no idea when the inevitable will come to my darling boy, Tony but I hope you will allow me and forgive me for sharing it with you.
There are some significant dates coming later on in the year.
You have been warned.
I have received such support here.
Thank you.
Take care everyone.
As always, sending big hugs and much love.

I can relate. I spent every evening last night working on replacing my kitchen blind. I finally finished it last night. Today I was thinking I can’t wait to tell Drew (my late husband) about it and he’ll be so proud. Then reality hit & I realised he’s not here anymore. 
But I am glad for this group. A friend was trying to be nice and said I am doing things. Or something like that as I can’t remember exactly. I felt like saying yes that may be true but it still doesn’t matter because he’s not here to share them with. And I am still all alone in this house we made a home…
Thanks all.

Good morning.
Anyone awake on this dark wet windy miserable morning.
Well my washing dried even without the air dryer. The sun on the conservatory helped yesterday. Dont see much chance today.
This weather really doesn’t help your mood.
Another Sunday. Why do they seem longer than other days?

Good morning Sandra
Yes Im awake , just.
I must have gone off sraight after my last message about 8pm, I slept until 3.30 and then on and off until about 7.30.
I’m going have to re think the Co-Codamol, they do help the pain, but I need to be able to function
Its grey here but not raining
Love and hugs

Good morning Nicky
I just read your post from last night.
The remark about living the rest of their lives with us resonated with me.
A couple of weeks ago I was talking with friends and I said the same as you."we were going to spend the rest of our lives together "
It was me who then said, “but he did spend the rest of his life with me”
It hurts so much doesn’t it. But at least they have been spared this pain

Not surprised your weather similar to mine. I am in Somerset so next county over and close to border with Devon. Isn’t it foul?

Good morning everyone.
I slept like a log for about 7 hours then dozed for 4.
I still feel tired but not the overwhelming tiredness of yesterday
I’m sure I’ve had co-codamol before and theyve not knocked me out like that.
Perhaps its because I’m older.
They did dull the pain but I need to be awake sometimes so I’m going to try to manage without them.
Has anyone else had that problem with them?
Ron, I hear you’re shrinkìng, do you need a smaller bobble wrap suit.
Its a pity Jane wasn’t wearing one.
I’m so glad she’s doing well.
Give her my love when you can
I will say a prayer for her and light a candle for you all in Church this morning.
Love and hugs

Yes, I am up.
I have given Tony some breakfast.
I also have managed to do a bit of washing up while he ate. Running out of mugs.
Tidied up the food that fell out of Tony’s bowls.
Now taking a short tea break.
Back a bit painful from my fall out of bed.
It is dreadful weather,
So grey, overcast and raining.
About to check on Tony.
Take care everyone,
that swamp could get a bit deeper with all this rain and the fact is Sunday .
Live and hugs,
Linda xxx

Hi Liz.
Never had that problem with co codamol. Usually it is constipation. Maybe you need a lower dose.
