Hi everyone
Thank you for so much help and such kind words x

Im going to use my best English now to say that these two threads have been the saddest (word?) most uplifting, humour/tear filled threads i have ever read. i have laughed and cried and read every post.

Trinity they way you are dealing with this is phenomenal. you have such a very strong heart that although is cracked by the grief you are going through is still shining through in every word you type.
Cliffs eyes say a huge amount about him. I bet he gave the best hugs.

I've never posted on one of these threads as i never feel what i have to say is enough but i had to post here to just say you are amazing.

There will be lots of jolts like that sweetheart in the coming weeks and months, but eventually you will have weathered them all. And you are, indeed phenomenal.

Just a thought about Ikea beds, they tend to only fit Ikea sheets.

GlaikitFizzog · 16/05/2013 16:09

Super kingsize fitted sheets fit ikea king size beds (I am not on commission honest) I do believe there are issues with ikea doubles and getting sheets to fit though.

Am going to shut up about beds now. ((Hugs Trin))

AGREED! You are phenomenal Trin, you are going to get through this, in your own time, at your own pace, with cake as your staple diet, (for a few days at the very least Grin), but you'll get to a point where nothing will hurt you like this does anymore.

You know that the pain fades, the bad things go away, the darkness lightens and the clouds clear, and, for the first time in a long time, you will start to see ahead instead of what is/was behind you sweetheart. xx

FugitiveFannyFarts · 16/05/2013 16:21

Mouseface you have a way with words xx

Thumbwitch · 16/05/2013 16:57

Good move on phoning your old SW, Trin. And fantastic news re. cooker and Littlewoods cheque, good for them!

Beds - well, as someone's mentioned, make sure you can easily get linens for the bed you choose, otherwise tis a PITA.

I like the idea of the bolted together double beds, tbh - then you can still use your linens that you have PLUS you're less likely to lose the duvet, cos you can have more than one. :)

Madamecastafiore · 16/05/2013 17:31

Bloody hell good news about the bed and the cheque what!!

How was the chocolate cake?

Skelosia · 16/05/2013 17:55

I won't get into the conversation, as I can't promise a regular check in. Just wanted you to know that I am still thinking of you and your family. xx

Mouseface · 16/05/2013 17:55

That's why I thought that about the 2 beds Thumb - easier to get linen that matches, you can get giant single sheets that will help hold the mattresses in place, but then have two king or two double bedding sets for a mahoooooosive SnuggleDen for everyone and the pup too!

Xroads · 16/05/2013 18:24

So sorry Trin. You are doing brilliantly.

I can't begin to understand the pain you are going through.

Well done to you for everything you have achieved so far!!

AuldAlliance · 16/05/2013 18:35

Trin, you are amazing, really.
You are not just functioning or keeping going, but even joking and staying so strong in conditions that would have many of us crumpling and whining.

I am admiring you from exile beyond Scotland's shores...

DonkeysDontRideBicycles · 16/05/2013 18:38

More hugs and you are amazing x

qualitytoffee · 16/05/2013 20:05

Hiya Trinity xxxx
Just another one here, giving hugs, and eating a bounty ice cream bar! Grin
Hope the snot is getting better!
i will also do an online shop for you anytime chick, do you know they're only £2;99 at Lidl!
Hugs xxxxx

PacificDogwood · 16/05/2013 20:33

I've just caught up with Rivers of Snot, Bed + Littlewood's problems, SW contacted - You are sorting out so many practical things more than I am managing; I am in awe.

Thinking of you x.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 16/05/2013 20:33

Lidl do online shopping?!?!
Must go check.

PacificDogwood · 16/05/2013 20:35

Strike out fail Blush

qualitytoffee · 16/05/2013 20:49

No our Bewitched, lidl don't, we were looking for a strimmer for the garden, and we went to Tescos and they don't, so here in Norn Iron, they're always going on about "we're here to serve you jazz" so away we goes, and never mind about fucking strimmers! They had Bounty ice cream bars! For 12..at £2:99!!
My son was impressed!
So Our Trin, there you go chick! Smile xxx

IwishIwasmoreorganised · 16/05/2013 20:56

How's the flow of snot going Trinity?

You're being ever so productive - littlewoods, cooker, shower.....

Hope the cake was good and the lemsips are doing the trick.

Xxx

YellowDinosaur · 16/05/2013 21:27

You have been more productive than me today trinity. I have basically done some washing up, emptied the dishwasher and played monopoly deal with my oldest son who was off school with the voms today. Or rather off school totally well but the last day of the 48 hour rule...

You on the other hand, despite your cold which probably feels like the straw that broke the camels back, have taken on retail giants Littles and won!

Monopoly deal though. Fab. A great, highly addictive game that you could play with all your girls and it only takes about 5 to 15 mins a game. The issue is that once you start you won't stop! If you'd like me to send it to you pm me your address....

Thinking of you all and hope the cold fucks the fuck off soon x

Hooray for cliff's daughter. What a star and sounds like a total credit to him.

Mouseface · 16/05/2013 21:50

Goodnight darling lady, please, please PLEASE say if you need anything getting food wise tomorrow for over the weekend, it's no bother. :)

I'll text you in the morning Trin.

Sending you all the love in the world, you are all so close, so tight, so joined. Hold onto that Trin, hold onto that love that binds you all.

That will never, ever go. That bond, the bind you have, will pull you together so fast, so much when needed and then let you move apart when the space has to be a priority, but it never breaks.

Ever.

Night lovelies xxxxx

Pet, theres loads of us up if you want to shoot the breeze, talk about your Cliff, or whatever pet xx

WandaDoff · 16/05/2013 22:34

Trin, you don't know me very well, but I am a follower of you. Smile

You had some of the 1st threads on MN that I found, I lurked for a bit & then posted because of you.

I'd love to do anything I can, to help at the moment. Or at any point really.

In 2009, when I 1st read about you, I was pregnant with my 3rd child, while very concerned about my MIL, who I was acting as a carer for.

I was amazed by the love & the strength that were apparent through your posts, after the tragedy that befell your family.

I still am in awe of you & the sheer will of strength you have, to protect your girls & anyone who is close to you.

I hope it gets easier in time for you, my love, as it always will.

Tell you what though, the last few years & how strong you are will be what your girls remember. much love, hand holding & anything I can do, lovely xxx
