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
Looks like I am just going to have to bring too many bags if that is as much help as you are going to be! Unless anyone has another suggestion I will bring jeans & trousers to go with a top and boots & shoes for if the weather is wet or dry! Oh dear - I cannot travel light lol xxx

Hi all, sounds likje you are all in high spirits this morning. I am afraid I am not but hey ho that'slife. I just want to tell you all how very very much I HATE my job and all it stands for. I had a verbal altercation with the site matron and think that she ius going to report me. Well let her. I have filled out an incident report (IR1) and have also written a letter to my immediate line manager. A pre-emptive strike if you like. I refuse to be treated like a doormat any longer. The trouble is, I now cannot stop crying grrrrrrr...... I know she is only trying to do her job but then SO WAS I !!!!!!!! I so want to tell them where they can stick their job.
Sorry for the rant. I feel better for being able to vent. Thank you for allowing that.
Such a shame that my day/night ended like that after the lovely time I had with Ailsa. Anyway Ailsa there was no point in knocking anyone down. I was not keen to have a red car lol lol lol
Apart from that I am ok. Have a good day everyone. Take care.
Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia x x x
