Liz, when are you going, or have you been to London yet?? I need to know everything and anything you bought. It makes me feel better watching someone else spend money !!! jayne xxx
Well, I've been awake most of the night again, so got up at 5.00am!! I think i'm becoming nocturnal, maybe i should get a job working a night shift? I've been laying awake thinking about my dad. He would have been 80 tomorrow and it just doesnt seem real. I cant imagine what he would have looked like at 80 because he passed away when he had only just turned 67. He was far too young. He was so good looking, everyone used to say he either looked like Robert Mitchum or Kirk Douglas! When they used to go on holiday, people used to follow them and ask for his autograph. They went out one night to a show in Miami and the guy in charge thought he was Kirk Douglas so he gave them the best seats in the house and they didnt buy a drink all night!! My dad didnt have the heart to tell them. It got to be a bit of a nuisance because everywhere they went they were followed. I used to love to hear mum telling me all about their holidays and the different things that happened. But I'll never hear her tell me again will I?
I've just looked out the window and it's really foggy, I might go back to bed when hubby gets up. I need to go and get some flowers later for my dad, wish his stone was back so I could put them in his pot, never mind, I'll put them in here. Going to make hubby cup of tea now, then shove him out the door to work....... well someone has to keep working dont they!!!??? See you later, jayne xxx
Wish I’d come on here during the night for a chat. I was up listening to music from about 3am. I’d have loved to hear all about your dad. You seem to have some wonderful stories. I did remember it was his birthday tomorrow. I’ve been my walk and am just about to head off to work again.
I just read your tribute to your mum, it made me cry. What a lovely lady she was, but you know as well as I do that she's still with you. They know everything thats going on, its a bit scary sometimes because I have to stop and think what I'm saying, just in case she's in earshot !!
How are you feeling today, any better? I had a crap night, couldnt sleep. I was going back to bed, but didnt in the end. Are you about today? I need to pop out when i can get my act together, but otherwise will be here i guess. What a life eh?? Jayne xxx
Hiya Jayne-- just read your tribute as well.Its very well written.A very touching tribute to a very special person.i wonder if our mums have gotten together up there,and are chatting away??? nice thought isn't it.
Sorry you didnt sleep.I went to bed just before midnight,but probably didnt get to sleep until about 1.30 as i said somewhere else,thats pretty normal,and was happening long before i lost my mum-but it does catch up with you doesnt it.by about 4pm most days,i'm fit to drop,and daren't sit down 'cause i'll almost certainly drop off!!!!
I'm just about doing bits of housework,and popping back to these boards every now and again.Fog has cleared so i guess i should go and hang my washing out!! oh,the joys of domesticity!!!!! see you l8r. XXXX
You do realise we will be told off by Louise for sitting chatting instead of getting on with stuff !! I did a bit of washing earlier, but the fogs still about, so have put it in the drier. I just heard a funny noise in the kitchen, then realised I'd put some eggs on to boil !!! Forgot all about them, I suppose they must be well and truely done now?? I'll be popping back at intervals today too, so see you later (if we can stay awake). jayne xxx
P.s. I didnt mean for the tribute to space out like that, it just does it dont it when you cut and paste from word. Didnt mean to take up all that space. And yes, I would like to think our mums are having a good natter about us. My mums probably worried about me ruining her cooker !!
