Morning all, those going to Goodwood have a brill time
I was looking for a quote to inspire us, I couldn't find the one I wanted but quite liked this one
Life is a shipwreck but we must not forget to sing in the lifeboats
Love it..who's going to start us off..how about Monty Pythons Shopping song ! the link below has a version of it a 1.24 mins in
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TxK4ZZsuMzs
and here's the Lyrics to Shopping Song for those who want to join in:
Shopping. We're only happy when we're shopping.
We're only happy if we shop until we drop.
In search of bargains we will never stop.
When God created the universe, He pulled out all the stops.
First, He created all mankind. Then She created shops.
Shopping, we're really happy when we're shopping.
We're really happy if we shop until we drop!
In search of bargains we will never stop, stop, stop!
We'll shop and shop and shop, shop, shop!
Shopping. We're only happy when we're shopping.
We're only happy if we shop until we drop.
In search of bargains we will never stop.
When God created the universe, He pulled out all the stops.
First, He created all mankind. Then She created shops.
Shopping, we're really happy when we're shopping.
We're really happy if we shop until we drop!
In search of bargains we will never stop, stop, stop!
We'll shop and shop and shop, shop, shop! :rotfl::rotfl:If it's full price I don't buy it..if its 50% off I will consider it..if it's whoopsied and I have a coupon its in the trolly!

Morning, feeling really rough here this morning

My DS was really bad last night we ended up having to take him to the hospital last night they gave him the nebuliser 3 times, gave him steroids and antibiotics as well as having to give him his inhalers, calpol and his hay fever meds.
We finally got to bed at 4.30am and then I had to be up at 6.30am for the other kids school runs.
DS is still not good this morning

Eyes dropping now.
Mum is home and tucked up in bed, I hope she will be ok until I go back in the morning.
We had a few tears earlier. Because she did something silly, she can hardly stand and decided to brush the toilet after she used it. I'm embarrassed to say I shouted at her like she was a little child and she said she wanted to go to bed and didn't want to live anymore. She keeps saying she is trying to save me and I have lost count how many times I have said if she keeps pushing herself to do silly things it won't save me at all. She will just end up making herself even more unwell.
After I calmed down a bit I gave her a big hug and stroked her face and told her she must look after her back and forget everything else and leave it to me so I will have to wait and see if she remembers.
Have read her discharge letter and yesterday's MRI does show further spread of the cancer in the same area so no more radiotherapy can be given. Also read that they would expect upper body to be affected too but it said no physical signs as yet. I expect the jumps and twitches in her arms that have caused her to drop cups of tea are probably early signs. So sad to see a loved one deteriorate in front of your eyes. I really can empathise with 3dogs on this.
My mum looked like a little lost soul tonight, sad eyes and finding it so hard to walk. I think the fight in her is subsiding a bit. She has surprised me so many times getting stronger but somehow I think this time things may be different. Pain relief been upped to 80mg zomorph twice a day now but still needing oramorph for break through pain. I love her so much but I really do not want to see her suffer anymore it breaks my heart. I was so happy to think she was coming home and would be more comfortable in her own surroundings but I'm questioning now whether she will be able to cope there on her own with me going in.
Elite 11 please forgive me for writing all this but I needed somewhere to get it off my chest, I hope it has not upset anyone who has been through what I am now. I really value the space here to open up it does really help. Thank you :A
Massive ((((Hugs)))) my new bezzie mate :A
Thinking of you and your mumMy husband says he will leave me if I don't stop shopping......... God I will miss that man.0 -

For anyone wanting strawberries Ald! have 400g for 99p:)
Hugs to Tinyshoes I hope your Mum has had a good night in her own home.
Thoughts with 3Dog's and family. I hope 3Dogs has slept and Mr3Dogs has had a comfortable night. You are both in my thoughts.
Hugs to everyone else.
I hope everyone has a good day. Hope it's sunny at goodwood for those that are going and they enjoy it.0 -
