I'm less worried about the Christmas cakes now - sometimes I think I over-complicate things:o

The knit and natter sounds a little more constructive than my alternative!

I've lost count of the times I've had to clean the microwave after making this new tablet recipe (already) - one day last week it overflowed so much I was to be found with the microwave platter thing tipped over the bowl of tablet, scraping the puddle into the bowl. Then once it had cooled a bit I'm ashamed to say I licked the remainder off. It's amazing how much a little bowl of evaporated milk, sugar and butter can expand to!

I actually just snorted :rotfl:

(I skim read and had visions of you with head stuck in microwave, licking :rotfl:)

I've heard of sticking your head in a gas oven but I'm all electric

scottishminnie I'm still laughing at b*tch & stitch :rotfl::rotfl: I love your sense of humour

On a t**** note, I've just taken the 'How tight are you?' test on this week's email, you can do the same here

I was 56%... come on, I've told you mine, now you tell me yours

Hi thanks to all you well wishes I appreciate it so much,had a real !!!! week,Monday we got to rapid stroke assessment unit at 8 , so I said to the nurse Oh lovely here early so we wont be too long then??, then the bad news "you will be here until 5..." they wanted to do MRI scan CT scan, boolds,urine, BP ,neck scan ,see junior neuro dr, the neuro consultant, and it went on , to cut long story we got out of there at 4.30, wore out the pair of us, believe it or not they are still not sure about the mini stroke...!!.
We go back tommorow to see his neuro dr that he has always been under since the first stroke....dont ask......
Very sad news, we lost little billy also on the hospital day monday, so so very sad,poor hubbies emotions are all over the place because of his delicate head, he really has been unconsolable at times, its been heart breaking, ive got to be the strong one for both of us, yet im a wreck, ive been trying to cry away from hubby cos im trying so hard not to get him upset, but to say its been a real bad week is a understatement...........We had all this going on when we were up the hospital all day monday , I had 3 calls from vet, etc etc, there I was crying in the corriders with hubby in the wheelchair , billy getting worse and I couldnt be at the vets....

I really didnt want to do that, but when theres so much on your plate at one go, its bloody god dam hard................We miss the boy so much......Ive totally lost all interest in xmas, in fact ive been so close to taking the decorations down ,if it wasnt for me being so tired and drained they would definately be down end of.............So sorry to come on the thread so near to christmas and off load these terrible times im having, but to sit and type does help a bit..............So im off to bed early again for another long day a head, carer in at 7 so its a bit later than it has been ,neighbour has been brill, came 2 days running and fed the hens etc, and also buried billy for me ......I know the pain will ease, we said at the moment we definately arnt going out to get another dog, its the dam pain you have to go through when you lose your pets..........................Ive cancelled various things that were on this week because I think we need time to take things in and a slower pace for a week or two,excluding hospital appointments.........Pray for a happy ,healthy,peaceful new year.......

Oh Shergar, so sorry to hear that you lost your little dog, I did fear so when we heard nothing. Can only say I know how you feel, losing a loved pet is as awful as a family member, sometimes worse in a bizarre way. So sorry you are having such aterrible time, and sorry that there is not much we can do to help... hope you and your husband can find some comfort and support in each other xxx

Shegar so sorry about your loss and all the nightmares you're going through. I hope everything works out well for you and hubby. There's just nothing for it when you lose a pet but to grieve, so please don't feel bad about posting how you feel - that's what we're all here for. I wouldn't want to read a forum full of false happy clappy - genuine happiness is lovely and I'm always glad to read about that, but when we're down or struggling we should never feel we can't share that too.

Sorry to hear about Billy Shegar. There's never a good time to lose a beloved pet but at this time of year must be especially hard. My thoughts are with you and your husband x

Shegar I'm so sorry about your dog and all the upset you are your DH are having. Life just ain't fair sometimes for some people.

I hope the new year brings more light into your lives.
