TERRIBLE NEWS FROM YORKIEGIRL

Yorkiegirl has phoned me from holiday in Portugal; her husband Nigel has collapsed and died tonight.
She thinks it was a stroke or heart attack.
The authorities are trying to get hold of her parents - they are also in Portugal
Fortunately, neither of her DDs saw anything
I don't know much more than that but will post if I have anything else

Oh Yorkiegirl, this is terrible news. I am so so sorry. Can't get on here much at the moment due to house move, but I'm fairly local to you, so if there's anything at all I can do please CAT me, and I'll give you my phone number.

Picadilly & OliveOil - I registered so I could make my donation although some have said you don't need to.
It only took me a few seconds to register and my donation has now gone through.
