This was back about 1979 we were both nursing together in Stobhill hospital. Her name was Elaine Wright, she'd be about 43 now and was engaged to a guy called Melvin from Twechar. I think her Mum worked in a local shop. With Jim Watt the boxers wife Christine

Christine I remember Jim Watt (he lived just along from me) and his wife - the name Wright does not ring any bells though! Have you lost touch with her?

Hi Anne welcome aboard the sleepless train i have been to bed but just tossed and turned so decided to get up.

God yes Anne haven't heard from her for years. don't even know if she married the guy! Ah well think I'll try and get my head down again. Goodnight all Christine

Christine was her mum's name Susan?

Oops Anne just caught you there, you know I can't remember, she was an only child and I think her Dad worked at Ravenscraig at the time

Christine let me check it out but............ I think she is neighbour of mine, married with two children!!! I will email you tomorrow if it is the same girl.

Christine did you work with Patsy Malley too?

Thanks Anne wouldn't that be a coincidence! Can't remember the name Patsy Malley though. best wishes Christine

Christine could have known her as Patricia?

Christine Still Up Hey!!! Pat x

Now there was a Patricia in my nursing class, a girl with glasses if I mind right

Oh Pat let me tell you I didn't cough as muah when I was on 40 a day. This is awful!!!! Christine

I will see Patsy Malley's dad tomorrow and will ask him. What was your maiden name?

Nicolson I'll dig the old nursing pics out and see what all the names were. Christine

Right I'm off this time night all Christine

has everyone gone to sleep? am I alone?

Oh Christine Yes you will cough more you must remember your nursing days, clear the lungs that's all you are doing we silly ass (oops) smokers think the ciggie does that no remember its an involuntrary response of the lungs gettting rid of all that rubbish that we collect, but us smokers deprive the lungs of their proper use and clog the tubes with extra rubbish we have to work double shift to get rid of all the stuff we collect hence breath in through the NOSE breath out through the MOUTH less rubbish You poor girl you have the double cough, it will pass, give it time. Mum always had a cough (like I do) but for the past 16 years she hasn' (and she's Asthmatic, same as me) But cause I'm still on the roll your own tobacco, and she hasnt smoked for 17 years, I cannot function unless I have 2 cuppas 2 ciggies and a huge cough, Mum would run rings around me. Keep it up, You will be 100% fit before you know it. I am bowing in awe at the mo.LOL Pat x

Hi Grannie Annie, still awake?? Thought maybe you were babysitting when I saw your thread. How are you doing?

I woke up at dawn, had some porridge and a cuppa, watched the news and went back to sleep for couple of hours zzzzzzz
