Hi Helen and Quill , thanks for good wishes . Well i always knew i was always going to give the xmas cards a miss , calendars it is then >> . I am furiouly wrapping up the few things i have got the "little kids" their easy arn't they , its the big ones that i'm struggling with . Wed morning i'm going to town and i'm not coming back untill i've got my arms full . I'm just waiting for my neice to get back to me about the trains , her boyfriend works on them so i'm hoping there going to tell me the best way to book tickets for the cheapest .  I am ok my friends but like you say its chance to have a good cry , not that i need an excuse xx . Sometimes i feel that somebody is stood behind me on the ledge and keeps prodding at me , but i'm not going off the end , how can i with all you holding on to me , and i will keep hold of you all xxxxx

Hello ladies,

Just wanted to post to let you know that I am still around but in a bit of a bad place too at the moment and finding stuff hard to talk about.  I am listening to you all and thinking of you all especially Lynne, Patricia and Fiona and of course all you others.   Your posts are beautiful Judi and made me cry too.  I am being serious but I really think you should train as a counseller.  You have a natural gift of saying the right thing and you should use it to help others.
