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

Morning all.
Err, of course Pete. Hmm just got to nip out girls!
Sue, I answered you the other day. I put a comment below your message. I hope I did it right? Also answered Barbara and Jenny. Thank you again.XXXX
Jill. How fantastic to hear from you again. I do hope Sue is comfortable? and Jim of course. It seems a lifetime ago that we were the Ikea gang! Love to you. XXXX
Sworthy. It's a strange feeling isn't it? Probably the antidepressants are also helping? XXXX
Again, love to you all.XXXX
Mrs SG.
I am so sorry, but somehow I missed your post. Thank you so much for your good wishes and our thoughts are with you and Mr SG. Love to you all. XXXX
I don't seem to be able to find the time to get on here as much now the kids are broken up from school. It's a good thing, I have been baking, wrapping presents and writing cards and our karate club party was really good - even if I was the only sober adult there!
We had an Indian lady & her daughter there doing henna tattoo's - oh boy were they popular, I even managed to get a butterfly & flower one on my wrist, I really would like a grey ribbon tattooed on but I am too scared! So this is as close as I've come and I quite like it, will be sad when it fades after Christmas!
Apart from two iTunes vouchers for niece & nephew and some money for both my nieces (one is 18 on 23rd) and my nephew who all have birthdays between today and the 28th December, not forgetting Tony's dads birthday is Christmas day - bloody awkward his family - I am DONE for Christmas. Just waiting on confirmation of when our beef will be delivered and that's it, done & dusted (well actually I haven't dusted yet but hey, its an eco-friendly protective cover!).
Martyn, you get extra love & strength to share with Doreen and the rest of you get your usual dose, those that want it or need it of course.
I want to wish my BT family a Merry Christmas (if that's possible for some of you) and a Happy, Healthy & Kind 2012 to one and all.
Hi Ya Debs,
Just dropped in to wish you and the Family a very Happy Christmas and a Healthy New Year to you all. Hope you are well and behaving yourself. Look after eachother.
Take care and Be Safe Big Hugs Love Jackie and Family.xx
Good evening all.
Doreen passed away at 4.55pm today. It was very peaceful, she just went to sleep. The girls were here. I will be back probably tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your support. XXXX XXXX XXXX
Hi Martyn,
Its Fiona, Im sorry its been so long since we last spoke but i have been watching the forum via email. Im so sorry to hear of Doreens passing, tho happy to hear it was peaceful and that you were all there with her. She would be very proud of you sweetie for how amazing you have been over the past few years (and beyond).
I can never thank you enough for the support you (and others in this group) gave me in the time leading up to my dads passing. Im still not right yet - tomorrow is 1 year.
Massive hugs to you and your family and I will be keeping you all in my thoughts and prayers over the coming weeks.
Rip Doreen, such a special lady, huge hugs to you, Martyn, my dear friend.
XXXXXX love as always. Fiona in Cornwall xxxxxx
Martyn.
Your post was not a surprise and I am glad that Doreen's journey ended peacefully and with thedignity that we all wished for her. You have had a longer journey than most and now it is time to look after yourself. I am sure that you will still be our team leader in the different carriage where we are waiting.
Wishing you and the girls strength for the days ahead.

Dear Martyn, Sue and I are so very sorry to hear that Doreen passed away. We hope you take comfort in knowing that you were an incredible support to her and cared tenderly for her throughout this awful illness. You made her journey the best it could be, often at great cost to yourself.
You and your daughters are in our thoughts and hearts at this sad time.
Love to you all
Jill and Sue (and Jim)
Dear Martyn,
So sorry for your loss, I'll be thinking of you and your daughters over the next few days and weeks. Rest in peace, Doreen.
You did her proud, Martyn, always remember that and take comfort from it.
