It is a good feeling,just to know we are in this position,we will just be doing everything a bit slower as Slims body has taken a battering,and is still on pain…[Read more]

Hey Tina Good Luck with it all and if I remember well Nightie is faster for lifting than jim jams are for lowering and I prefer the fastest way (not that I wear Nightie's though)

Hi Mavis Megan Joanne and Jean

Jean I think Slim would be the same about going,I think they…[Read more]

Hi Tina
Well I have to say Slim never found the energy to get dressed until near the end,and lots of clothes just got thrown away,you will not expect them to be taken home.

Take things in that are around you at home,like your favourite mug,I would also take anything,that you like to drink in,as this is so important,as food and drink do not…[Read more]

Hi David

Good to hear you have another "reprieve"!

I hope you are wrong about your next pp and that they don't rise at all!

Enjoy life and keep encouraging the rest of us as you do so well.
