has it really been 8 years...

[sansouci]

...since Princess Diana died? i doubt this would be considered news & suspect no-one would admit that they give a damn. but 8 years have gone by incredibly quickly!

[piffle]

And since Labour came into power and since I arrived in the UK, since then I have met a lovely dp and now have a 3 yr old daughter
Time does fly it really does...

I never forget this date - it was the night I met my DH - can't believe that has been 8 years too.

I was sitting on a bus pregant with DD when I read someones newspaper headline that she was dead. Very weird it was. Knew id remember it years on IYKWIM.

Dont really remember that day but I remember the day of the funeral.

Sorry but I have to laugh, we were on our way to France and there was hardly any traffic on the M1 and there were loads of people camped out at the junctions waiting for a 'look'.

That was surreal in itself and then we got to Newhaven and the terminal had Elton John blasting out of the loud speakers. Im sorry but it was a tad too dramatical for our liking and we found it funny.

I was pregnant with Dd1 at the time. Remember being shocked and my brother thinking I was making it up.

I was at a party in a fieldon the Saturday night. Stumbled home early on the Sunday morning and it was on the news. Went upstairs and told my Mum who thought I was fibbing. Charming !

I remember watching the funeral on the tv at my (then) boyfriend's house. Surreal.

I was on holiday in Spain and there was a newsflash. At first they said she had been in a car crash and was in hospital with broken bones. Then there was another one saying she had died.

Unfortunately this is a date that I will always remember as my MIL passed away this morning.

[trace2]

[trace2]

[jampots]

it was the day of my ds's christening too - I remember it well. Mother Theresa died within the next couple of weeks as well

[motherinferior]

I ran the press office for one of the charities she was involved with and it was the precurser to one of the most bizarre weeks of my life.

[QueenOfQuotes]

Since I went out to Zim for a gap year before Uni (LOL) - never made it to Uni and now have a DS who'll be 5 in 2 weeks time, a 21 month old and a wonderful gorgeous husband (not to mention out own house that doesn't have a leaky roof )

[QueenOfQuotes]

I watched the funeral in SOS Waterfalls in Harare.

[Micku5]

Thanks trace2. I am grateful I got a chance to say goodbye yesterday. Unfortunately our dd is too young (2.2 years) to know what's happenned.

[Toothache]

I was on my friends Hen Night..... they're divorced now!! I was 19... >sigh

[Ailsa]

I heard about it at 3am when the news was just breaking, was sat watching tv breastfeeding ds.

[tassis]

i heard it in one of the prayers at church which was surreal

(micku5 - so sorry to hear about your MIL)

[Distel]

I was doing an over night baby sitting job and was still awake when the news broke at aboit 3 o clock in the morning. I was only 16.

[Cam]

I was staying at MIL's house with dh (then dp) and dd when my SIL telephoned with the news at 5 am (she was working for Channel 4 at the time) and woke us all up.

[edam]

Tell us more, MI?

(sorry to hear about your MIL MickU5)
