OMG we might even be twins!
You did very well passing your 11+ after so many stays in 5*. I am so very sorry you experienced a breakdown - that must have been a struggle.
Love radio 4 - is there another station then!
Good luck with your next consultation.

Oh goodness Kathleen you have had so much to cope with. Great you have come out with such a brilliant positive attitude. It's sink or swim and I quite like swimming.
I can't have been blessed with a good brain, common sense yes, but brain no. Failed my 11+ and went to a secondary modern, where you were considered a failure. I was top of the B stream but only the A stream were allowed to take GCEs.
Do you still manage to dance at all?
Glad you are finding things easier of late.

Thank you for words of hope with this I've had a bad wheeze for 3 weeks now. I'm wish I knew how to battle the tiredness any suggestions? Thank you
Regarding singing I have joined Rock Choir. I love it!!!!!!!! I have sung and recorded in Abbey Road studios and sung in the NEC arena and all sorts of local events. Best of all I sing at the weekly rehearsals with my friends. It helps my breathing and opens up my chest but most important it makes me happy. I sometimes cheat and mime the long notes but my singing has improved a bit. I don't have a great voice - it's an everybody's choir but we sound good all together.
I can't dance the night away but I still bop round the kitchen!
I have wheezed all summer. I wonder if it's pollen?
Tiredness is something I live with. I get rest when I can but apart from that if you have had this all your life you don't know any better. Sometimes I get a brilliant day with high energy but otherwise I just slog on.
