My husband - Chris - died on the 2nd May 2009 because he had anal cancer. He knew he was going and we spoke about lots and lots of things before he died. That is why I am just not prepared for the huge amount of guilt I feel now. I feel guilty that the world hasn't stopped turning round even though he has died. I feel like everything should stop as a mark of respect. I also feel very guilty that he had to be so ill he had to die. What a cruel cruel thing it is to make someone so ill their body just stops working. I wasn't ready for him to go. I really really hope these are normal feelings because I must hang on to my sanity for the sake of my 3 children. I have never known sadness like I feel right now. I can't believe that I will not hear his voice or feel his touch again. We were married for almost 32 years and I have known Chris for 34 years - since I was 16. What happens now? Ailsa
Feeling good this morning, maybe I shouldn't say that, am I tempting fate?
Had a lovely sleep and feel in the mood to get up and going.
Judi, hope you have a great weekend in Glasgow. Ailsa, make sure you take a pic of you and Patricia, aw I wish you were coming to next weekend.
Fiona, it's great having our babies around isn't it? It is so hard to be down when you get that lovely smiley face looking up at you. :-)
Hello to everyone, I hope you all have a good day today and will speak to you all later, I'm sure. Going to try to post a pic now! If it goes wrong then you will have to make allowences for me!
My special little man and his smiley face xx
Morning all
Now THAT is what I can a photo - He is gorgeous!!
Still not packed a bag yet - I used to be good at being organised but within two hours I have to have the dogs at the kennels, a bag packed ....... wonder what I will take to wear!!
So just quickly dipping in to say hi, I will miss you all over the weekend. Alisa and Patricia have a lovely meet. I will speak to you on Sunday night when I am back and I promise to have my bag packed by this time next week for Newcastle. That bag will be easy .... two thongs (NOT!) some PJs, a couple of bottles of wine, pint glasses of cider and my camera. That should do it!
Everyone do theit best to have a good weekend. Loads of love Judi xxxxx
Just came across this song which I have not heard for a long time but just feel it is appropriate for me. Thought you might like to hear it. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RMTKb-pgxGI and this one too http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jKHFWpaTUmY&NR=1 this guy had cancer and died in 2003 from inoperable lung cancer (just likje my Ray). He was a singer that Ray greatly admired so it is rather ironic that they died of similar things. The second tune is a Dylan song I believe but Warren made his own version. x x x
Sue me too!!! Wine chilling as we speak lol!! Been a busy week at work, been in our room, nursery and reception this week. All good fun!!!
Judi have a lovely weekend, Ailsa and Patricia cant wait to hear about your meet x
Lesley the photo is gorgeous and glad you re feeling better.....sssshhhh!!! lol
Well ladies not long until we meet, cant wait now!!! Cant remember what time you re all planning on arriving so will have to check with you x
Lynne hope you ve managed to finish at a decent time and Fiona dont work too hard.
What s everyone up to this weekend?
I m `prom` dress shopping with Nat tomorrow and got a review at the gym on Sunday. Our local has a group on tomorrow night so been asked to go there but not sure yet. Might have a quiet one this weekend with being away next.
Hope everyone is ok.....sure you feel better for it being Friday!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs to all

Hi, Helen
off for a meal with friends tonight at the Chinese restaurant in town. Just had my haircut - need to iron some trousers to wear out but am too tired - will have to do it in a minute. Decided I work better under pressure, and to a deadline!
