My husband died in my arms on the 2nd May (2009) - what happens now?

Hi everyone,

I've just about caught up with reading all your posts now - there was loads!!!

Lynne I would have loved to come to your do for Gordon (especially as it is my wedding anniversary on the 4th) but we will be in Mexico... will be there with you in spirit though. xxx And thanks for texting me on Saturday. xxx

Well we are back home safe and sound but feeling the cold- it was 28c when we left yesterday afternoon! We had a lovely relaxing break, the hotel was beautiful, the weather was great, the food was good - think that getting away from it all to help us get through the six month mark was a good thing to do. Although to be honest, I think we had our meltdown the week before we left - feel much calmer again at the moment thank heavens!

I've already forgotten most of what I read, so I'll just send everyone a big hug. Take care,

Manda xx

No probs Amanda , lets see a choice between spending time in the pub or Mexico , mmm let me think now lol , ok i hope you get a refund !!! . It would have been our anniversary on the 6th too so i think i'll just stay drunk for a few days ... Glad you enjoyed your holl and yes it is a lot colder than it has been , hope it warms up again soon .. Take care Lynne xxx

Hmm it seems to have been a good time to get married, our anniversary is the 5th July (day AFTER independence he always liked to say).  Mexico Manda?  You little jetsetter you, how wonderful, a very interesting country.  Won't be able to come Lynne but will be thinking of you - Sam will be doing her course by then and I want to be around for the weekends when she is home properly.

Dave! Great to hear from you, hope you are doing alright though with all the problems being thrown at you, chicken pox isn't nice does that mean they have both had it now?  What is happening for the summer holidays, is your mum going to help out with the boys then?  Have you planned to go away at all?  (Sorry too many questions)  You have some lovely beaches on the Island so it's like a holiday every day if you have the time.  Big hug to you xxx

Waving to you all, Judi, Helen, Ailsa, Bren, Lesley, Patricia, Dottee, Sue, Gayle, Fiona (who have I missed?) Hope you have all had an alright and the evening is being kind to you xxxxxxx

Hi everyone.  I managed to get on here at a more reasonable hour tonight!  I have the evening at home so I have been on my wii fit for an hour again.  I'm enjoying the free stepping and watching TV at the same time.  I'm going to the theatre tomorrow evening to see stepping out - looking forward to it.

Helen it sounds like Nat & Liam have their summer all worked out - good for them.  I have accepted Lynne's invote for the 3rd July and it would be good to stay over if you fancy doing that as well.  We can see what Gayle says when she gets home but in the meantime - Lynne, any chance of sending us the details by pm and maybe some places close by we could stay when you have a minute?

Lovely to hear from you Dave, hope you are enjoying your time off.  I'm glad to hear Freddie is over his chickenpox.

Manda I'm glad you had a good time when you were away - welcome back.  Lesley your dreams sound a bit unpleasant so maybe you need to think about the career move.  It might give you a chance to meet some new people as well.

I hope everyone else is okay this evening.  Take care of yourselves.  Ailsa xx

Hi Rosemary - waving back at you !!  Ailsa x

No probs Rosemary but i will meet you one day lol .. I will be camped on your door strp one morning when you get up ., i know you've got a lot happening at the moment ..
