    Wow, that's a big hamster! I used to breed them when I was a kid.

    Sally, have these thoughts been coming since Bea asked you about it the other day? It could just be a perfectly normal mum reaction to her questions. If it's been going on for a while though maybe you could speak to your doctor. I think worrying about death is perfectly normal, it's when you start to hope for it that it becomes a problem, or if the thoughts start affecting you day to day.
    Unless I say otherwise 'you' means the general you not you specifically.

    Yeah I guess so Ames...maybe you are right
    I would hope I never wish for it, and I would certainly know I needed to get help then. I think feeling under the weather and stress is really not helping.

    thank you though and everyone else for keeping me slightly sane!

    I have just found my birthday maltesers.
    Open the tin Ellidee.

    BIL has got through op - had to get DD1 to phone my ex to find out. SIL going in tonight so maybe hear more now. I was beginning to worry - well not beginning- been at it all last night and today.

    I have been cooking Christmas dinner for 24 years now. I appreciate that some people have not but why do we need so many 'how to cook the perfecr dinner' progs?

    Tin opened and purple ones ALL eaten :o

    Hi all. Sitting here in a soulless Travelodge just outside Heathrow, paying a fortune for an hour's WiFi and counting down the hours......
    YOUR = belonging to you (your coat); YOU'RE = you are (I hope you're ok)

    really....it's not hard to understand :T

    Well said Beanie. Ames I was thinking also of the advice given to Bookie earlier about saying 'NO' etc .
