I can't believe we are now on another thread, where has all the time gone ?

Oh SM I feel your pain, but hope you have managed to have some good times today despite you missing your mum. Did you get your underwear ?

I did not . but I havent been shopping yet until tomorrow I shall put a picture up haha obviously of them on the hanger not on my backside. had good day, having a drink with dp now everyone has gone to bed. never drink so has gone straight to my head. how's you

I hardly drink either but on Saturday I had a vodka jelly and I loved it ! At least you will prob sleep well tonight after your drink !

hope so, been a strange day. is everyone your way doing okay?

Yes all fine here. Had a get together on Sat for our gd,s 18th birthday , can't believe it. In Sept she starts training for cabin crew and I know I will be terrified when she finally goes off, made worse by what has been happening lately.

what an exciting adventure for her, can see why you will be worried tho she is still your little gd they just grow up v fast

I am terrified for her SM but she has worked hard to get on her course to do this, an it's what she wants to do so in that way I'm happy but it's the thought of anything happening to her which scares me! She has two more terms at college then they help her to find a place on an air line, providing of course she passes.

Oh sm I know what you mean about birthdays. Sorry wasn't around. Been crazy here. Hope you enjoyed best you can. I still do crazy things like pour her a glass of wine and myself and watch qvc for my birthday just gone. We will never forget them special times and do them special things. but my god it's hard to not have them with us isn't it. Hugs to you.
Love to all. Hope your going along not too bad xx

it wasn't too bad T, nothing over the top but had a nice time and actually spent my birthday money mostly too which never usually happens usually end up putting it back into something to do with the house. bought a fitbit and some new shoes. got a blend active for my birthday, I will be skinny again like I was when I met dp. he's a great cook but everything involves cheese . how's you doing? linn can totally understand your fears I'm sure she will have a brilliant time and appreciates your support doesn't stop us being scared for them though does it

Hello all. Was going to take fresh flowers for my mum today but it's been raining all night and still raining now so that's put paid to that for today.i don't want to get wet but don't want to be in all day, it's so boring! Hope you are all doing ok.

Hello everyone, hope you are all coping ok and that everyday is a now a bit brighter for you all. It the first day of our 4 day airshow today so our town will be packed. Red arrows at 3.15 but I can see them from my garden. Take care all, thinking of you badvoc did you have a good holiday ?

Hi all.

We're off on holiday without my mum how the hell im going to do this I'll never know!! Seriously going to have to muster up some strength from somewhere!! crack on I guess as she would want us to have a great time but it's going to be hard.

Enjoy your air show mummylin I love air shows!!
Love hugs to you all. Thinking of you all xx

Glad your birthday wasn't too bad sm xx I really want to get into cooking more!! Just need a personal chef - James matting or Gino would be perfect xx

Hello :) glad to see everyone's mostly hanging on in there.

Today marks the 3 month anniversary of my dad's funeral - similar weather too. I think we had the one grey drizzly day in May to lay him to rest. I need to start thinking about a headstone for him and my mum (they are buried together.)

I go back to work on Monday (teacher) - I am ready I think but just the same it's strange. Strange that I'm starting a new school year, new season, turn 33 (it's my birthday in September) without my dad. I'm conscious as the months go by he moves further and further away from me and I'm scared of that.

Hello branstonpickle you dad will always be with you. Wherever you are and how ever long it is because you will carry him in your heart

Crikey. This thread has gone quiet which actually is quite nice. Maybe we are all jut getting on with our lives at last. But for others we must not let the thread disappear. It has saved me and I don't know what I would of done without everyone. Take care all

My DS4 has gone back to college today - after about 10 weeks break!!!! . I have been lurking on the thread but not posting. Feel quite resigned that my Dad isin't here anymore but it hurts like hell xxx

morning all just on my way out on the first school run how is everyone

Hello shabbs, I guess your house felt extra quiet today then ! I used to love my kids being at home, no morning rush times, no school uniforms to get washed etc ! I'm sure you still feel so sad about your dad, but really it's not that long ago is it. How is your mum doing ?
SM hope first day back went ok. It is nice to have a few hours to yourself to get things done, but after you get used to children being at home you miss them don't you.
My gd starts her course next tues at college to be cabin crew. It's a two term thing and they will help her get a job at the end of it. She is so excited. She has been at college already for two years studying tourism etc.

I have enjoyed the peace and quiet today to be honest. Its almost 5 months since Dad died. Keep thinking that I will ring him and then remembering I cant.

Mum is doing OK - saw her yesterday and she almost talked 'my ears off LOL' xxx

my sister is moving house so I'll be there for the day tomorrow helping out, no rest for the wicked had my physio yesterday it wasn't too bad got lots to work on. still haven't heard from mums husband we drove past today and it doesnt even look lived in hope he hasn't moved without saying but nothing I can do if he has. missing mum so much lately ds has had some issues that I could of really used her advice on. glad to heat about your gd and her course it must be a really exciting time for her

It is exciting for her SM but I have to admit I am a bit scared. I am not a good flyer and in view of recent happenings I am worried, but it's what she wants to do. I will not want to know when she is off somewhere, only when she gets back !!! My dd is the same.

My eldest son just sent me the lyrics to a song by Ed Sheeran - its called 'Afire love' The lyrics that really, really got to me are............'Things were all good yesterday
But then the devil took your breath away
And now we're left here in the pain
Black suit, black tie, standing in the rain
And now my family is one again
Stapled together with the strangers and a friend

Lovely words shabbs

The whole song is a mixture of my parents - my Mum with her Alzheimers and my Dad with his cancer. Had an hysterical meeting with the social worker, Mum, the care home owner and myself.

Some of the lines Mam came out with were..............

Shabbs, here you are love take these home and give them a wash please they stink!!!!

I think the staff here are wonderful - how the bloody hell they put up with me when I am 'on one' I have no idea.

............and then the classic line to the social worker (who looked about 12 even though he must be early 30's) ..... 'Come on love you dont want to be talking to an old biddy like me - you are going to be late for school!!!!!!!!!!!!!

ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha I love my Mam!!
