sorry to hear you've got the chemo crawlies as DH calls em. hugs. hope it buggers off soon

I read somewhere that electronic devices screw up your seratonin levels, so making it harder to sleep. We can't win...

Chemo crawlies is spot on! I'm trying to see it as positive - the drugs doing their stuff - but I find it hard to keep my fluid levels up enough to flush it all through.

I've done postgraduate psychology conversion. Always intended to do it, necessary for career - Will get there before retirement age next stop doctorate - eek. i don't feel clever enough tbh. not doing it yet, Im a year behind as I've taken time out because of DH getting ill. I need a working brain before doing any more.

It sounds really interesting though, and doctorate as well, wow! This is a very brainy thread - I think SD has a doctorate? I realise now how little I appreciated the luxury of hours available to spend in the library at uni, I'd love to sit immersed in research now for all of 30 seconds before someone wanted me.

How is your DH doing with work?

BlueyDragon I am not sure how to praise your courage going through all the treatment and still having a lovely chat here but that's something really remarkable. My best wishes are with you.

Yes, I was lucky enough to complete my doctorate straight through before jumping into the industry which was good in a way that I don't crave for my academics now neither any of my employers expected me to do so

welovegrapes mentioned she was also a uni lecturer so she would be a doctor too, I guess.

Thanks SD. I'm having a bit of a wry smile at "craving academics", thinking back on the average law lecturer [bugrin]. But I do know what you mean, there's a bit of my brain that is still in want of exercise.

I'm going to try for some more kip. Hope everyone else managed a little and that your body clock is resetting, SD.

Well I don't have a doctorate but two of my exboyfriends did but I have two Bsc (Hons) and a teaching qual.

Crappy night here.

what technical qualification do you have kitty if you don't mind me asking , sorry for being nosy I prefer not to tell people about the doctorate stuff as it falsely raises the expectations. Doctorate has nothing to do with being brainy as opposed to common misbelief apologies in advance if that might offend somone hehehe.

Jynier don't know what the cause of your swollen feet is but you need to elevate them above heart level & drink plenty of fluids.

Hi dad I did Chemistry and plant biology and British Sign Language

You are a brainy lot! My degree in midwifery is merely vocational!

Hi themidwife Is that boy awake yet? Did he get his mum an egg?

Vocational baba sniffing .

It must be heavy on the science though themidwife? Anatomy and the like disco basement arrangements

Does a vajazzling course count as a qual? Who's with me?

What exactly is it? It makes me picture a jewel encrusted yoni

Morning everyone. Probably talking to self now as you lot are asleep. I do not have a doctorate or a degree< lowers tone>. Mine has been a more vocational path, though I do do some teaching.
Glad you survived the in laws cafe and Easter waving to everyone. Hope you get de toxed quickly Bluey.
Fluffycat is doing ok, back to enjoying food but still limping, she is not noticing the ground up steroids in her food....yet. Me and DH are waiting for her to take up weight training. Then we'll be in trouble.
I have managed to stay lump free over Easter. But am having an austerity day today in an effort to lose weight. ( DS getting married in Oct. need to have a non lardy look).
Am missing seeing my family over the hols though. But there will be a meet up soon. Am rambling now...

Sorry missed loads of posts there in my self indulgent long ramble.

Wow Kitty, that's brilliant. I loved chemistry when I was in college but ironically I never got a chance to pursue my passion, not everyone is as brave as arabella cafe is .

Midwife count me out of the brainy ones here and by the way all I studied at the uni was vocational too .

I wish I would have chosen a more vocational path rather than staying at the Uni for so long ahhhhhhhh why does the grass always look green on the other side.

KittyAndTheFontanelles Did I really read what I read. I never knew any such thing ever existed .

Morning mini!

SD, never let it be said this place isn't an education. Or a vocation (my professional qualification used to be described as vocational because it doesn't pay as well as one might think).

Vajazzling is very much real in Essex according to TOWIE. Sticking sequins on a shaved lady garden - weird if you ask me!!

My boy stumbled out of bed to eat a roast dinner at 6pm last night with his parents & sisters & haven't seen him since. I bought him an Easter egg!!

welcome back bluey, hope you managed to get some kip

I don't see how vajazzling could be appealing, may be time for me to shut up, as they say something about too much curiosity and the cat

Tee hee! Each to their own eh Dad?!
