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

Wizzing in and out, but wanted to say huge congratulations to Helen, way to go girl! And well done to Gayle, on all counts both medical and home front.  Ailsa thank you for your kind words, I would love to drop a dress size just to feel more comfortable but there are lots of flattering outfits to try aren't there.  Glad you are enjoying having company for a while.  Judi have a wonderful time in Munich, relax and enjoy yourself Kat and Joe will be fine and pleased to see you home again.  Patricia have a good holiday, take care or yourself and let the angels look after you too.  Lynne your hand looks SO sore, have you got some aloe vera?  When it is healing use Bio Oil to help the scarring etc (See Doc Martins strike again!)  Bren, Lesley, Dot (and Alan), Dave, Lynda, Sue, Fiona and all of my lovely penguins, take care, have a good night (remember the ledge is always open if you need a huddle), see you all tomorrow xxxxxxxxxx

Thanks again for all your good wishes x x

Gayle the house sounds fab!!! Are nt we getting good at making all these decisions lol!! I am still worrying a bit if I ve done right thing but after chatting to friends and boyfriend it has been confirmed it in my mind! Handed my notice in, just need to put it in writing and I get August off too, got to give months notice.

Ailsa glad you re enjoying the company. Nat isnt here as much as she used to be but she still wants to do the odd thing with me. Made tea for her and her boyfriend tonight, had Liam and his girlfriend here earlier too so they re both in and out. Peace again now!!

Lynne what a lovely letter, like you say not an automated one. Someone has put thought into that. It was a fab day in memory of your fab man xxx

Hello Patricia, we posted together, hope you are ok and your holiday sorts the mush a bit for you xxxxxx

Morning all

Judi is it today you go to Munich ? if so , have a fab time and cant wait for the photos ,yes i can see boy has the same sense of humour as you , made me laugh too lol .. All this exciting news form Helen and Gayle wow and the wedding being bought forward for Rosemary , lovely lovely lovely . Sorry i dont have any exciting news , well the blind man  is coming to fit my new blinds in the kitchen , i'm excited about that lol , just the floor to do then . I've picked the floor covering but just got to wait for my son to do it , he is a self employed carpet fitter so as usual he will have to fit me in when i can , but he does get me some fantastic deals . When i picked the floor covering he said , do you know you've picked the most expensive one we have oopp oh well i wont pay nearly as much as it should be , cant wait for it to be done . Hoping to hear from the electrition this week so he can get started . Is yours all finished now Dottee ? Thanks for the advice on my hand Rosemary , i knew i could rely on you . why is it that every patient wants to grab your hand , just where its sore (bless em ) . I'll have to keep it covered another couple od days i think as its has opened up so its quite sore at the moment . Dam the lager lol . I went jogging again last night , size 8 dont think so Helen , but i do feel better for being more active . Anyway must get ready the blind man will be here at 8 and than its on to work (yes work ) to those thats on holiday still . Glad you had a good day yesterday Sue , do you think it could lead to something more permanant ?

Take care all

Lynne, sorry to hear your hand is still so sore but early days yet for such things. I hope the blinds are to your satisfaction.  Judi have a fab time in Munich. I hope you all have a lovely weekend. I shall be setting off for my long drive to Cornwall in about 7 hours.. aarrgghhhh..... I am of course hoping (planning) to get in some walking over the week. (if I get at least one long walk in I shall be happy). I do not walk nearly enough and need to get myself motivated. I always use the car as I am always in too much of a hurry to get everywhere. If I don't manage to post over the coming week, I hope you all have a reasonable week.

Love and angel hugs x x x Patricia.

Have a lovely holiday, Patricia - hope the sun shines for you xx

Have a lovely holiday Patricia - hope the sun shines on you all week. xxxxx

Have a wonderful holiday Patricia, where are you going in Cornwall ? (have I missed it from an earlier post?) We have many a holiday in Bude, North Cornwall and there are some wonderful walks around there with fabulous views - I'm jealous, I might just have to pack the dogs up and meet you there! 

Had a recomendation for sleeping problems today that I think could really help you all - reflexology, a course of 5 sessions if you can manage it and the people I spoke to were really pleased as they had been having big sleeping problems too and now getting some good nights sleep at last. 

Lots of love to you all, take care wherever you are travelling or at home, sleep well, sweet dreams (got that dreamcatcher yet Ailsa?), hugs xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
