  • Morning everyone! Haven't read through the thread but thought I'd pop on with my update!

    Good luck Sarah. Sure you will do fine. :D

    OH is in bed with a migraine so that does limit what I can do at the moment. I also have realised I need to check whether I can give blood whilst on these tablets- I have a horrible feeling I won't be able to. Still, monsters are now at Breakfast Club so I am going to finish my tea and then take the dog for a walk. Back later.
    Divorce all finished- now to start saving for a better future!

    Morning Everyone
    Good luck today Sarah
    WM on

    Hope everyone has a good day , Off to find todays list.
  • Morning ladies,

    Beautiful sunny day here, so have one load of washing out on the line thanks to my OH being very efficient before he left for work.

    Re: Tristan. After a couple of hours talking to him yesterday he became really incoherant due to the amount of morphine he was buzzing into himself. He stopped being able to type, but at that point our mutual friend came back so she chatted to me while he lay there singing songs apparently.

    Wasn't all good though.. while he was talking to me he talked about taking pain pills as well as the IV morphine. This didn't sound right to me so I mentioned it to my friend and she said he had taken to hoarding his pills and then taking too many at one go. They also think he is a little addicted to the morphine so are trying to lower the dosage of that.

    Sure enough she found 4 painpills under his pillow. When I spoke to him again he just said it all hurt so much and he just wanted it to stop hurting for an hour or so. All in all I was online with him for about 6 hours and he didn't want me to go but I was so tired...


    Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers. :T :T

  • Morning all - can't be doing with this getting up at 7.30 on a day off but hey-ho, at least the building work is progressing.

    I've really lost my way the last few days - not following my schedule, not following my diet, not even been doing my studying, just wasting loads of time I can ill afford playing on the computer - not good - must do better.

    Must post a list so I can at least aim at something....

    TMA - listen to extract and write out so know I understand it
    Read what I need to do
    Go through revision docs on DVD, looking for useful stuff on way
    ....at least 2 hours study in 30 min blocks
    Put away any dry laundry
    Get into garage to make a list of what needs shifting
    Shoes and coats cull
    Towels wash

    Good luck vibes for SarahS today
    Virtual candle for Diva and Tristan

    Does anyone fancy a HHC at 9.30 to help me to get going?
    I'd rather be watching CSI!
