I feel so LUCKY.
Still got migraine and feel exhausted.
so going to bed in a bit.
So so glad to hear this Buffy
My mum had a mass the size of a grapefruit removed from her fallopian tubes a few months ago, it was such a worry..but she was fine, nothing to worry about, just a mass not a tumour.
Really pleased to hear the good news
Re your migranes- are they diet related? Mine are diet and hormone related. I find that most of them occur when I am due on, or when I eat a lot of junk food.0 -

Been a bit of a week here. New job is kind of a mess, it is ok I can do it but has taken up SO much time. I was that tired today that when bought petrol today I was in such a daze that instead of stopping at 30 pounds (the budget) I stood there like an idiot till it said 35.33!
I have a very full tank, can drive 320 miles before I need more petrol!!!
Spent 48 in Sainsbury's but 29 of that was for Mum. After the stress of tests she has be very under the weather so didn't go shopping.
we had fish and chips, 7 quid, saves Mum cooking.
What a week......... am lucky. bit skint and shattered.
I have amazing support here. thank you XX

I really hope so SA, you and Lucky, well. I don't know. tonight I came in so tired I mean I was happy (tidy classroom lots done today) then it was dog walk and supermarket and stopping for fish and chips(lovely) but it all took till 8.45! Mum is still not really well and she was leaving sentences unfinished. All this with her being ill, I am SO worried she is in pain but as she never complains.....I can get really impatient with her. And that leads to guilt. I genuinely have no concept of how you cope, I walk around some of the grinding my teeth so hard I think they break!
yeah so tired I couldn't sleep! so watched sex and the city. I adore that programme. I have 3 best mates who I just love to pieces and before they were married and had kids we were that close. I miss them. I still see them and talk to them often but like most things you grow up and things change. And I have little in common, being single, no kids etc.
Still I am lucky in that I have a number of friends who fill the gaps. No group but a couple of my single friends are the best.
I should sleep.
If anyone reading has a kindle download Dracula and then the audio book for FREE. It so good. I love it!

Hello Buffy
Long time no see! I've- been away for too long - havent' fully caught up but glad to hear that mum is okay. It's such a worry. Don't be too hard on yourself - caring for a parent is hard.
Look forward to catching up properly.
