Many thanks to ILike for passing on the baton to myself and Harry . I know we are a bit previous but I am worried I will get the timing wrong .

I feel like I have only been here a wee while but it is invaluable to me .

This is a poem that has helped me in the past .

I have not turned my back on you
So there is no need to cry.
I'm watching you from heaven
Just beyond the morning sky.

I've seen you almost fall apart
When you could barely stand.
I asked an angel to comfort you
And watched her take your hand.

She told me you are in more pain
Than I could ever be.
She wiped her eyes and swallowed hard
Then gave your hand to me.

Although you may not feel my touch
Or see me by your side.
I've whispered that I love you
While I wiped each tear you cried.

So please try not to ache for me
We'll meet again one day.
Beyond the dark and stormy sky
A rainbow lights the way.

hello all...sorry not been on here, been away for the past ten days on hols. Took a quick glance through the last few pages of messages to see what I have missed.

Anyway, just wanted to say hello to all.

Evening ladies. Geez I feel knackered tonight. We've had a busy week and now it's come to Friday night it's catching up with me.

I was going to have a glass of wine but I think it'll send me to sleep

Well, i have had a hell of a job getting on here this morning!
Ive had a Wilf free morning, and this afternoon we are off shopping with my Mum & Ali..................

shabster · 18/04/2009 13:20

Me too Lottie!!! Hope you have a good afternoon xx

Thelighthousekeeper · 18/04/2009 13:27

Hi Girls,

Hope you are all well, just a quickie as we are moving next week and its chaos here, hence why I've not been on at all. Also our stupid internet provider won't let us transfer our broadband package to the new house, they say we have to cancel here and then re apply again which is useless. Trying to find a new one so don't know how long we will be offline for.

Take care and hopefully will be back soon! xxxx

Deemented · 18/04/2009 15:09

Hey folks.

Not doing so good today. Today for the first time in a long time i went up to Ciaran and hubbs' grave. And i'm so bloody mad - the monumental mason was due to put the headstone back on eight weeks ago, and it's still not up!!! I'm ashamed that i haven't been up there before now, but i find it so hard to leave them there. Anyways, the headstone still isn't up, despite them taking my money, but thry are closed now til Monday. I'm afraid they are going to hear me - i'm not happy at all!!!

hazygirl · 18/04/2009 15:30

aw dee thats bad, hope you get it sorted soonxx hi everyone elsexx

melissa75 · 18/04/2009 15:40

Hiya
Thanks travelling, had a lovely holiday. Scenery was the most beautiful I have ever seen, kids loved the skiing, and my little one was up on skis for the first time, and did a great job! Must be my Canadian blood coming through!
Its now the mission of getting everyone ready and back to school...tried to start the process this morning, but we are all so used to sleeping in now, that it was hard to get everyone moving by 9am! Not sure how we are going to do it on Monday morning!

Dee, so sorry to hear about your visit to Ciaran and DH's grave. Thats terrible, and so frustrating. I totally feel your frustration and annoyance, it is so irritating when people say they are going to do something and then do not do it, not to mention the issue of the sensitive nature of it all. I hope you give them a right telling off on Monday.

lottiejenkins · 18/04/2009 16:17

Have had a crap afternoon. Wilf has been VERY unpleasent when we were shopping, he really hurt a friend of mine! All because he couldnt have what he wanted!

frasersmummy · 18/04/2009 19:54

Hi all

Dee you must be all over the place.. Honest to god you think these people would realise its grieving families they are dealing with .. Keep us posted as to what they say ..

its not a hard job these days to amend a headstone. its all done with lasers, well thats what we were told

lottie whats wilf been up to??

lighthouse .. just in case you are still around.. I am glad you got your original move date, hope it goes well, take it easy during the move (easier said than done)and if you dont get back before the big day I am praying for a safe outcome for you all

hugs to all

Deemented · 18/04/2009 20:39

Sorry to hear Wilf was naughty Lottie - i was speaking to him earlier on FB and he added me as a friend on MSN - but i had to nip out and missed him chatting to me, sorry.

lottiejenkins · 18/04/2009 20:51

Cant even begin to tell you what he did! Am very lucky my friend is such a good friend!!

shabster · 19/04/2009 08:01
