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

Morning everyone

Lynne what are you and your sisters like!! Hope she is ok though, sounds painful xx And your poor Dad too, he s had it tough xx

We enjoyed the walk last night, think there was over 1000 ladies doing it. Looked great to look down road and see a mass of pink t shirts and flashing ears in the night. My best friend couldnt bring herself to do it as her Dad died in November and she felt it was all too much. We did it for her and her Dad xxx We all react differently dont we? Raised a nice amount of cash for the hospice which was great x

Not much planned here today, would like to do garden if it stays dry. Meeting up with a friend again tomorrow, think we re going to the pics again and for something to eat. Could quite get used to this!! Nice to be out and about x

Judi I am saving my Rose for tonight, didnt get chance last night so looking forward to a few glasses and some tv. Hope you get on hols as planned.

Ailsa good luck with your next phase of your garage this weekend. Manda hope you re feeling better this weekend.

Sue another weekend, enjoy your visitors. Lesley are you shoppping today?

Fiona, Rosemary, Dottee, Patricia, Dave, Gayle, my memory`s gone!! everyone!! have a good weekend

Helen hope you have ested today you deserve it well done. Well i am off to watch Over the Rainbow sending hugs to you all. Fiona xxxxxxxxxxxx 

Hi - again - everyone.  I just wrote a post and then lost it.  I hate it when that happens.  I will need to have a think about it all over again so in the meantime I thought I would just say hi!  Ailsa xxx

Hi Ailsa, Fiona et al (posh eh?) I know what you mean Ailsa, all that thought pouring out of your finger tips and then...... gone, how do they expect us to remember what we wrote?????

It's a bit chilly out on the ledge tonight, again, so I've brought you all in and although it is May and officially spring I'm lighting the fire and pulling up a few comfy chairs, opening the Baileys (of course) but putting the kettle on as well.  So anyone who wants to or needs to can snuggle down and huddle by the fire and know that you are all loved both here and on that other plain, always xxxxxxxxxxxx

Please may i just have a cuppa tonight Rosemary , i appear to be off alchol xxxx

Lynne did I hear right then lol. xxx

Hi again.  Sorry about my previous hissy!!  Nice of you to bring us indoors on this chilly night Rosemary.  I have had a couple of small roses since my lost post so I am over it now.  Think I might have a hot chocolate next - rock & roll!!  I'm with you Quill in wondering if I am hearing Lynne right.  I'm glad you had a good time in benidorm Lynne although I don't like the sound of your sister's cracked ribs.  Somehow I am not surprised though - what are you two like.

Yes you heard right lol , not a drop of the old vino will touch my lips for at least 5 days xxx

I am going to play safe and do a couple of short post so that I don't lose all that work again!  Well done Helen for completing your night walk and raising some more funds for the hospice.  I am doing my first race for life next Sunday.  It is the Wakefield one.  I am doing the Pontefract one on the 13th june.  The Barnsley night walk for the hospice is on the 12th and I thought about doing that as well as it sounds like good fun.  Not sure yet whether it is a good idea to do both in one weekend but I have been walking a lot so I would have thought I can do both.

Lynne I really hope your dad starts to brighten up very soon.  Judi I'm glad you are feeling a bit better.  Good luck with the wall and the plastering.  I really don't like having plastering done as it makes so much mess.  It is good that you have some tradesmen you can trust to do a good job even if they do all share just 2 names.  Posting again - just in case!! xx

Manda I will watch out for the hairy bikers roadshow - sounds like you really enjoyed it.  Glad you had a laugh.  I'm going to York Races next saturday - when are you going to York again Lynne?

I've been a bit fed up tonight as it seems the man I sold Chris's van to is trying to sell it on for nearly twice what he paid me for it.  He is supposed to be a friend of Chris's although I only met him once when Chris was alive.  So much for turning it into a camper van.  I feel really niave as he talked me into selling it to him for my lowest price as the mileage was high.  I saw him recently so I know he hasn't done anything to it but he has offered it for sale to a friend of Stu's today without realising the lad was a friend of Stu's.  It is my own fault for trusting him but I am still very annoyed at him and will make sure he knows as much if I see him again.  Why can't people just be as they seem?

Well I had better get off for my hot choc as I am up early tomorrow to take Stu to Scarborough to look at a car.  Have a good Sunday everyone.  Ailsa xxx
