foofoo I had a little cry in the night too, and I thought I had got used to the shit Cancer throws at people but I just feel so sorry for the boy and his family. So unfair. I hope you Mum is in relaxed mode. I clean up when my cleaner is coming...
Gigs Agh, at the approach of the pink month. One of the charities is at it already with various wannabee celebs going without make up for a day 
the poor darlings 
they have tweeted their sufferings. I am sure we are all feeling really honoured and touched at their sacrifice, wonder if anyone will sponsor me to go boobless for the day (see it is winding me up already.....)
kitkat hope Onc is helpful. You could try asking the what would you do if it was you? question which can get some useful access to their intuition rather than logic, IYSWIM.
Ruby you must be counting the days to getting back to uni, hopefully your hospital can get its act together to get you all sorted and tuned up to cope with Freshers. I think big pigeons lasted about 3 days first time around before Freshers flu got her in spite of me sending her off tuned up with fresh fruit and Vit C .
snails

kk I have seen cabbagepatch's bits, in the altogether, in RL. I went to the National production on a night he was playing Frankenstein which meant, it being a very edgy Danny Boyle production, that he was on the stage when you arrived nude except for a foetal sac. It seemed a bit careless just leaving him around the stage like that with all those punters on the loose. Then he broke out of the sac, like you do, and didn't get any clothes on for a good twenty minutes
