d`y ever wonder what life was like before Mumsnet?

[triplets]

Boring............you have all been my life-line........just wish we could all meet up occasionally, I could bring the trolley:)
Scrap my feeble first attempt, tired .........very tired............yawnnnnnnnnn

Thank you Shabs.......thank God for modern medicine, bless them. Have left a message, reading all of that makes you think once again about whats important in this life. xx

I have very high blood pressure Rubester - but its kept 'under control' with my daily tablets - also on beta blockers. They were given to me to stop the panic attacks I was having. Wasn't keen on taking them, especially after reading the information leaflet in the pack - BUT I am still on them at least 7 years down the line. They have 'saved my life' - I know thats a dramatic statement but the panic attacks were overwhelming.

I just remember for a second thinking 'I dont feel very well' and then coming around a few seconds later. Very odd!!!

Wonderful news from Estar isin't it? See - you just need a 'plan' - once you have a plan you have something to work with. I hope her precious little man goes from strength to strength xxx

Shabs and Trips -so sorry you have both hurt yourselves please be careful.
Also, Trips-so hard to still be waiting for hosp results, must be hell.
Hi Rubes, hope all is well there. Will be so glad when half term over!
Working this weekend doing "On Call", hope its quieter than the last one I did, that was 2 weeks ago when all the snow fell and all hel broke loose with the home carers not being able to get out to the clients.

Evening all................sat up once again with a beanbag roasting my neck and shoulders, feel soooooooo tense I could snap!! No, still sod all from the hosp, thats it now until Mon then I start phoning again. Just need to know, need a PLAN. Rubes, getting abit fed up about my big 60, jeez how can I be 60 when I look 39:o
My very best friend who lives in Cornwall wants us to do something tog, my own brothers are now asking if I am doing anything. My local girlfriends think we will go away for a w/end tog, H thinks I should do something with him and the kids and my sil and family want us to go to France tog!! In my heart I would like a girls only break because we can be silly and have fun. But............until that damn hosp phone and we find out whats going on with H I can do nothing.

Just read Estars blog-too old to sign up as donor, glad they have 2 matches tho. Shabs-thanks for the link, couldn't find it when I looked before.

Morning girls xx

Good afternoon............off to mama`s back later xx

My head is filled with music...............just watched 3 hours of the 25th Anniv of The Phantom of the Opera at The Royal Albert Hall..............brilliant. Brought back a lovely memory of our last pre cancer holiday when we saw The Phantom at The Venetian in Las Vegas............Aug 2008........happy days.

Im just watching 100 greatest musicals on telly Trips.

Oooooh I love music. Tom is doing a Music GCSE and enjoying every last minute of it. He has homework to do with the history of music. When he read the questions he told his teacher that I would know all the answers and would muscle in on the homework all about Northern Soul music, the Twisted Wheel club in Manchester and Wigan Casino all nighters....Awww all those things happened to me in another life....17, loads of dosh etc etc

I know Shabs.............music is the soul of life.........
Tonight we were having dinner and I put an old cd on of The Carpenters, haven`t played it for years. Kids were talking over it as usual, looked at H and he was very straight faced, then he suddenly said "I think I am going to get sad in a minute, the times I played this..."
It was then I remembered, on the Sat night, two nights after Matthew died, he stood in the kitchen all night ironing, ironing Matthews clothes, our friend Neil who had given Matthew mouth to mouth was just sat in a chair watching him with a whisky in his hand....he was listening to The Carpenters..........so painful to remember.

Must try to sleep...........night all xx

Morning girls xx

I'm a closet Carpenters fan

My mum used to have it belting out while doing the housework. One I was old enough and got my own record player I used to listen to it in my room in between vic reeves and salt n pepa! Even though she had died by then, when i was 5. I still have a lot of the albums now, and play them when in the house alone singing along with all the words.

One summer I worked in a hotel where the clientelle was mostly elderly. The proprietor would have Elvis playing in the dining room constantly. We kept trying to persuade her to change for something different and I finally won her over with the carpenters! One guest was so grateful she posted me a cd and a film of her story after she returned back home.

Oh I so wanted tobe one of the kids on that when I was little!

Actually I've just remembered that my first wedding, we walked out to 'we've only just begun'

Go the la la la la-la in my head now!

Oh chops.............you are funny...........another lovely Sunday, the onlt thing I like about Sundays is Mon follows.............school hip hip hooray!!

Early night for me........sweet dreams zzzzzzzzzzzz zzzzzzz zzzzz

Morning girls xx

First day of half term for us. Stayed up late watching telly last night. Phone rang at 7 this morning. Dan is off today and so is Lew. Living room and bedroom curtains closed at mine....'Mum are you making us a brew, its freezing!! Can you have Lew while I take the car into the garage?. I just opened the curtains and nodded at him through the window. So now I have to sit for Lew at 10.................Im too tired to moan!!
