This must be such a disappointment as yes we need some pampering TLC to help us feel a little better . Perhaps you may have to be selective in what you would like to experience. I’m having facials , reflexology and Reiki and there’s been no problems and all are aware lve had BC .

Dear Sue
You have every reason to be feeling glum. I also cancelled a holiday this year on the Deccan express train starting at Delhi and working its way to Jaipur Jaisalmer and the Taj Mahal I seem to remember. I paid a deposit of about £2700 which I lost. It would have cost a lot more as I needed flights to Delhi, accommodation there and I was going on my own. It just seemed too much of a faff as my husband has now convinced himself he has syphilis, hepatitis C and various other conditions after having a liaison with a sex worker. I am not a widow yet but you never know. He keeps asking me to get tested for syphilis. I can see no point as he’s tested negative and I haven’t been with any one sex worker or no for ages. I am rather smitten with the idea of giving him the boot. I’m 70 next year and I have all sorts wrong with me but overall I am as fit as a fiddle due to loads of gardening and slaving at home due to my husband doing absolutely nothing except catastrophising about having all sorts of illnesses. He has lost a lot of weight so you never know he may pop his clogs. Given his total lack of care for himself, it might be the best thing.

I will be going on holiday at some point whether on my own or with someone. And by the time I go I am hoping caring for others is a thing of the past. I have always looked after other people first and it’s been my downfall. My mum’s now 97, my aunt died at 93, my dad at 95, and I have been kept thoroughly occupied with my husband as he’s got mental health problems and has not been able to work all the time I have been married to him (only since I was 58 so not that long)
I feel alone and upset too, even though I have all this stuff going on. I feel your pain.

I wish you well too. He’s sitting in the conservatory saying he thinks he’s given me hepatitis C. I am watching the final of interior design masters with Michelle Odungadon and Alan Carr
They are doing a shepherds hut in Blenheim and so far it all looks over the top.
