Oh crikey Cinds! I just read back a little. I hope he improves 

And then it falls down with Little Mix

I'll go with you sooz, but I want to go to Bournemouth, which might be just a little bit out of your way

Cinds   

 

 

Ahem!  I've had to turn over.  There's Swedish stuff on it 

 

 

 

 

ELO on now

PMSL Muffy!!!!! 

 

^^^^^^ The Met Office post 

Awwwwww that little baby born to the brain dead mother. What a tragic story but .....how wonderful that they managed to save the baby and the organs from the mother saved four other lives.

 

 

 

So sad but ......she lives on.

HOW TO TELL IF YOUR DOG HAS BEEN INVOLVED IN A SEX SCANDAL

  looks like a fair cop guvnor.

awww busted, doggy.

Awww

Just beat Suzy Dent again!!!! There was an eight letter word (lothario) she only got six.

 

Either I'm getting much better or she's slipping!

Pirate Where do you find those? That ones brilliant

I was watching 'This Morning' today and I still keep having a little chuckle.

 

I've never been big fans of Eamon and Ruth but they're growing on me. Today Ruth was saying about the funny Irish sayings that Eamon says.

You leave your fiddle by the door.

 

you'll lick where it lay.

I'm easily amused and  chuckling now.

They're using an old Slade song for the Nexus 7 advert.

And it's not Merry Christmas!

Oh! They've realised that it's too early then 

We can only hope, Sprouty!

 

I was watching a bit of Channel 5 live news the other night. They had an advertising blokey on and another woman (entrepeneuer) (sp). She didn't half give him a run for his money saying it's too early and everyone's sick of them already   but he was having none of it 

Sick of it they may be, but I suspect the entrepreneur was being a tad disingenuous there.

Anyone seen the film 'Elysium' yet? I watched it the other night and it was good but i couldn't help thinking that it was a bit true to life with a bit scifi thrown in

I need a new pair of secateurs so popped into HQ Boyes-sies. The gardening section had mysteriously disappeared. It only took a matter of minutes to find an assistant who then explained that it had been replaced by Christmas fare, and he didn't know where the secateurs were being stored, but there was no call for gardening stuff anyway.
**shakes fist at Christmas**
As if that weren't bad enough a selection of Christmas songs were being broadcast over the tannoy.
Mrs Jer always dives at the radio if Slade and their dreadful Christmas sing are featured. Obviously she couldn't do so in the shop. It put her in a tetchy mood for the rest of the day.

Well that's daughter been and gone, those 5 days have gone fast  and she was actually nice 

Years ago , Clarins used to do a perfume called Elysium ......it was beautiful but shortly after I 'discovered' it, it was discontinued.

 

Just thought I'd share that - anyone else remember it.

I'm cold!!

 

They've come back to do my boiler and all the doors are open and heating has been drained.... NOT looking forward to today... i wish i could go out for the day lol

got no one else to tell

im really depressed or down or whatever tonight

im getting no kip

i keep shouting Mom in my sleep when i sleep-it wakes us up

OH is not bothered doc dont give me sleeping tabs

i feel like im going bonkers

 

i'll be alright in the morning-sort of

but this happens everynight

Mr Woo suffers from insomnia, restless legs and general sleep disorders from time to time. He finds a relaxation tape (don't know which one) really helps. He doesn't listen to it whilst trying to get to sleep but maybe about an hour or two before bed. It sort of puts his head in order when he can't sleep through stress.

 

I do hope you find something to help.

 

ION ....I went to see Will Young in Cabaret last night. OMG ........................FAB - YOO - LUS.

 

I can't stop singing the songs today .....................it is my favourite film - the show is slightly different (a bit more risque and a whole lot darker) but bloomin fantastic.

off to kip

Oh crap, have you got heat now?

Pirate, listen to what Soozy said for a good sleeping method.  

 

I am also a really crap sleeper, and often shout and scream out in my sleep.  I use Night Nurse, Nytol or over the counter medicines that contain codeine.  Not all at once I hasten to add. 

Pirate   The doctor isn't giving you sleeping tablets because they are so over used by people with depression and then they become too dependent on them  I know this because my best friend was in the same place you are for the past 2 years.  Her wee brother died and she couldn't sleep (she'd get nightmares or think he was in the room with her when she was trying to sleep) and would wake terrified in the night and then too scared to sleep.  The doctor wouldn't give her sleeping tablets so she took to not sleeping at night and catching up on some sleep during the day when she was in the company of other people.  This went on for ages and she was a mess!  She felt like she was going insane but still the doctors wouldn't prescribe the sleeping tablets.  

 

Laying off the drink and taking her anti-depressants help a little but to be honest she's still not quite herself and the sleeping pattern is still not right.

 

So even though I have offered neither help nor solutions, I posted this just to let you know you aren't alone and this is part of grieving, sadly, and it doesn't go away overnight.  It takes time to come to terms with things and just having someone to talk to is the main thing.....your doctor, your partner, US!!  Anyone who can just listen while you get it off your chest will help.  Also take any help you are offered, there's no shame in telling your doctor you aren't coping and getting all the help you can from them.

 

Pirate i hope you got a good sleep

 

All i can say is I've been right where you are and I've eventually come out the other side... It takes time and will always hurt but it does get easier to deal with. It's hard to go through and you feel like you cant do it (so many times) but you will somehow.

 

Have you looked into bereavement counseling? It might help

Aww pirate, hope you got a sleep. I too have been through it, and it will get better, although it doesnt feel like it just now for you.
As Jen has suggested maybe Bereavement Counselling can help. Worth a try, maybe? 
Remember too, always someone here to talk to pirate 

In a fashion lol

 

Monday they did the boiler (not the radiators upstairs),,,, Turned the gas back on around 4pm and there was none! There was a fault on the meter... so British gas came out to sort it out that evening

 

Tuesday... had a guy come to patch up the holes around the pipes etc... then as he was leaving the sparky turned up to do thermostat etc last night (around 6) a guy cam to look at the radiators upstairs and look at my bathroom (which is being refitted over the next few weeks to give me a bath instead of just a broken shower cubicle)

 

Today the guy from last night came EARLY and has left his apprentice ripping the old rads out etc

 

So to recap... I've had 3 radiators working downstairs since late Monday and work men coming and going since 1st thing Monday morning

 

 

I'm REALLY not looking forward to the bathroom being done!
