Clare
Sounds like a real tonic of a day for both of you yesterday.
I’m sure you’ll get to the parent’s evening tonight. Another goal achieved and on to the next one!
Take it easy today.

Sadie, I’m loving the spoon delivery!
Clare, I hope you’re having a sofa day today to recover from yesterday and prepare for this evening.
And here’s another spoon. —o
:o) :o) :o) Careful ladies…I’ll be running round the school hall with an abundance of clanking spoons and it will be you having sofa days because of your generous donations. Many thanks though :o)

You’ll have to clank some more as here’s another spoon —O
Thank you so much for sharing your time with us. You’re such an inspiration 
I’m so glad you had a good talk with your ex and a lovely day with your mum.
Hugs from Chris xx
Good afternoon :o)
Hope all is well with everyone, I was overwhelmed by spoons, so was able to go to my daughters school option evening. It was a struggle and I didn’t sit down as I haven’t mastered the art of getting up without looking silly lol. I didn’t want to embarass her, so I perched on tables (YOU used to get told off in my dsy if u did that)
My telephone and internet are both off…reported it and they said I may b lucky to get it fixed for the 24th, so in the frustration of having no net(got a dongle now ) I wrote about my day…
I feel good tonight
Oh what a night! I feel good, the best I guess for months…
Sleep still eludes me, I can’t think why, perhaps I ought to try
An early night, be a novelty for me to sleep a whole night through
I’d love to keep this wellbeing feeling though, that’s all I ask of you.
My body tingles like the flu but I can put up with that
If I can get around, do the things I do, there’s little wrong with that.
I know my life will be cut short but with each day I live like this
I think of the possibilities I have, the goals I’d like to reach
Today was an awesome day, one of the best, for I was so proud
Of my secret, quiet daughter who will one day will wow a crowd
To discover that you have among you a little genius discovered
It’s hard to take it all in, not sure I’ve quite recovered……. :o)
In every subject that we went round, it just got better and better,
The potential it seems to me was there, just waiting to be discovered
German, Science and Maths it seems she is flying but in Art she’s at the top,
He said he couldn’t teach her much, but for her to just not stop
My daughter, Aisling, if you knew her would slip past you in the street
She’s quiet, some say shy, reserved perhaps, almost seems out of reach
Her humour, dress and character, is totally down to her
My baby girl is growing up, it’s a shame I won’t be there.
I’ll miss all her next achievements, her goals she has for herself
Not just those of academia, just more everyday stuff that’s right.
I live in hope, she’ll think of me as she grows up and finds her place
And have a little smile for mummy to light up across her face…… :o)
It was a good day :o)

You’re quite a poet, Clare!
I was moved to tears yet again…
What a talent you have. Maybe your creative flair with words has transferred down the genes to your offspring too???
I do hope you can share these insights with your family.
If they make me cry,they’ll be blubbing by the first verse!!??!!
You really are an excellent ‘story teller’ to us; your audience.
Thank you Wx
So very very glad you reached this milestone and heard all those wonderful statements about your talented child, in the flesh.
“And in the end, it’s not the years in your life that count. It’s the life in your years.”
I,m totally in awe of your strength of character Clare and just love reading your posts, massive über hugs to you xx

Hi there,
I’m not feeling very inspiring tonight…Its tough when you have always been strong as an ox ( I was a gardener for a living and used to do most things a man could)to realise now that I am wasting away. I’m ok when I am up and around, I only take a stick with me when i go out. Its the getting up that is so hard now, my ex has put a rail up on the loo, so I don’t get stuck lol. but its getting harder and harder to lift myself. I can’t stand the thought of not able to get up, but I suppose thats just the next stage. I am eating for england still but obviously not getting enough from it to give me energy.
I shall try and rest more…
I had a visit today from a dear friend, she’s hard work though, bought her daughter and her bxxxxy dog, which with mine, was all i needed.
Its all new to her, having a dog and she thinks that it has to go everywhere with it…funny my dog was never welcome lol, not that I would take her anywhere. there’s the grouch coming out in me. It’s lovely of her to come and she did bring me some silver plasters for my hot cracked feet, from the chemo. She didd see after several hours, how tired i was and asked if I had enough, usually I would have said ‘no its ok’ but I was honest and said yep.
On a lighter note my dear sister is coming tomorrow, she’s my best friend in the world, so I will try and rest as much as I can before she arrives so we can have a good time together. Its with her that I truely say what I mean, I know it hurts her sometimes but she is my rock. She asked the other day, what i wanted to be buried in,(now who would dare ask that lol) Turquoise is my choice, brings out my eye colour and makes me smile :o) My daughter jokes about it, that I have more of that colour in my wardrobe than any other and says ‘not again’ when I have just bought yet another thing lol.
Its late, so i’ll try to sleep, taken all my pills, so here’s to a good nights sleep for us all…
Thank you all, really for all ur comments, it makes such a difference to me to be able to rabbit on here. I’m sure my sister has a nose but doubt anyone else does and I’m sure she will come on when the time comes for me to leave this world and give it a little peace…and me, I guess.
Night night to all you beloved ladies, all I wish for you is a longer stay than I have and as pain free as possible.
