..and I feel so overwhelmingly sad. I just need to tell someone. I need to make some calls but I'm waiting until tomorrow so that I dont ruin Christmas day for other friends.

She has been ill on and off for a few months. In and out of hospital and they couldn't really find out what was wrong. I had a call earlier to tell.me she died Christmas Eve in the afternoon. She was 55 years old.

  1. FFS. Thats nothing. She worked hard her whole life and was hoping to retire early next year..and now she has gone.

We've been friends for more than 30 years and I cant believe I'm never going to hear her voice again.

She adored my teen DS. Always snuck him £20 and spoiled him at Christmas and birthday. He is very sad too. But also worried about me - just made me an unasked for cuppa.

It's just so sad.

I’m so sorry for your loss flowers.

On Christmas Eve, I found out an old friend/ex died recently. He was far too young.
