I know Joyce love, but you have to conserve your energies for your own little life.
AND.... if we ever win the lottery, I will charter a plane and we can all come over to you..... we could stay at a posh hotel..... ;-0)
Good night love, and chin up.

Oh Joyce, it doesn't happen like that, so please try not to get yourself all uptight and upset about what has happened to your neighbours. I'm really, really sorry to hear about them them all, but it doesn't mean that it's going to happen to either you or Jan.

I know you help and care a lot about others, and that you are feeling very sad about them all, but as Deanna has already said, count your blessings, you can't dwell on the problems of others, otherwise you are going to make yourself ill. None of your friends on here, would want that to happen. You know we depend on you to cheer us all up and to give us a laugh when we are feeling down.

When is Jan on holidays from work? I think you said it was soon, so maybe, if you're not going on holiday, you could have a few day trips to some of your favourite places.
I know it isn't easy Joyce, as you know I've been in the same position as you, so please try to look on the positive side.

Take care! Speak to you soon.

Love and best wishes to both of you. Sallie.xxx

GETTING CLOSER?
Stop it Joyce.
There is no *list* of who will get cancer next.
Enjoy the day... today.... do you want me to come over there and sort you out? .... like I could even walk down our street. ha ha ha
Cheer up Joyce. and count your blessings love.
Don't dwell on the problems of others.
You feel for them, and I'm sure you help where and when you can, but you are going to make yourself ill girl.
Love Deanna X

Oh Dutch, it must be of a great worry to you when all your neighbours have been ill.
We do not really know our neighbours really well except to
pass the time of day because of how the houses are situated.
When we lived on an estate everybody knew each other well and their worries became ours.
I think the older you get the more you know people who are ill or dying.
This year alone there have been 11 people I know pass away. OH and children dont know them all and say I shoud not get get upset by it but I do.
You sound like a kind ane caring person and it is bound to make you worry.

Hugs to you
