Hi everyone

I am just trying to navigate myself around the site.  Still struggling, but thought I would try and make a temporary place for the WTBT folk as we are all wandering round like lost souls at the moment- don't know if this will work- but worth a shot while Mac try and resurrect the old thread

Love Ali xxx

    Ah, a Speckled Hen would be good, but I have no beer in the house.

    Hope all is well and comfortable with people tonight.

    If anyone gets a friend request from "maryjane", please ignore - it's a spammer.

    Hi Pete (and everyone else), Sorry, I'm crashing in here. My husband died on 9th November but it was bowel cancer with liver mets. Just wanted to ask if Black Magic and Pinot Grigio is a common combo for the bereaved, I am currently downing both. Pete, I'll trade the fruity centres for caramel! Ann xx

    Ann,

    You are so very welcome here, and I'm sorry to hear of your recent loss.

    Wine and Black Magic seems to be working perfectly well for me so far.  Although I've run out of Black Magics and will soon turn on the Lindt balls and then onto the Freddo Frogs.  It's all chocolate, after all.

    I wish you peace this weekend.

    Excuse me for spamming this, but someone sent me this link for a government e-petition for raising brain cancer awareness.

    Please spread as far as you can...

  • Welcome Ann,

    Please add my condolences for your loss. I am hopeless and never know what to say, just sorry.

    WTBT seem to be a inclusive bunch and fairly friendly - and chocolate is hardly ever a bad option.

  • Ditto with the spam but: petition signed (it is easy to)

    Easy as eating chocolate.

    Thank you both, very much.  Pete, I must also say I was sorry to read about Ali, not easy is it?   I was impressed that you can pack up her clothes so soon.  My husband, Nev, also had some things that made me wonder just what he was thinking at the time!  I can't deal with them just yet though. 

    Chocolate, how much do I love thee, enough to confess that I once, at a time of crisis you understand, resorted to doggy drops, sad or what!

    To be honest, I don't know when the appropriate time to start disposing of things is, I just wanted to get doing something constructive.

    I also had a coffee in the coffee shop that we always used to visit on the weekends.  I didn't think I'd be able (or want) to go in, but it was ok.  It was very sad to see the empty chair opposite me, but I had some nice, reflective time with a coffee.

    To All of You

    I just want to say how sorry I am for all of you here on this journey and for those of you now starting a new life without your loved one. I haven't posted for a few months on this site and have been deterred by the new format of the site, can't get used to it at all. There aren't many familiar names left from when i was posting, it is so so surreal and sad. I lost my husband Stewart just over 5 months ago to GBM4 after being diagnosed only 8 months earlier. Our journey was a very traumatic one, no real quality of life from early doors. Don't think I will ever be able to forget those dark days and nights. We were the envy of our friends as we were real best pals as well as still fancying the pants off each other. Maybe i should be grateful for that. 

    Anyway so so sorry for all of you here. No words can ever make things truly better right now.

    Love to you all
