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.

Its Official I AM IN FULL PARTY MODE!!!
We have just been down and decorated the hall!!! I had a "willing" band of helpers as I am terrified of balloons and needed about 70 of them blown up!!! Im not having presents as i dont need anything, I have asked for donations to Winstons Wish and Wilfs school instead!!

shabster · 26/04/2009 01:13

Hope you have had a great night Lottie - I am well and truly PISSED and will be apologising in the morning - hitherto, forthwith and all that!!!!

lottiejenkins · 26/04/2009 01:25

lottiejenkins · 26/04/2009 09:07

Morning all..........Its quite staggeringly amazing you know! I dont have a hangover!! Quite why i havent i dont know.......... I had a total ball last night with my lovely friends.Just before the end they played Happy Birthday by Stevie Wonder and everyone made a huge circle with me in the middle and people took it in turns to come and dance with me! It was soooooooooo lovely. Im now off in a few minutes to tidy the hall!

ILikeToMoveItMoveIt · 26/04/2009 10:02

Sounds like you had a great night Lottie, you deserve it. You've got a great bunch of friends

Maybe you haven't got a hangover because you're still pished?!

shabster · 26/04/2009 10:02

Morning - Oooohh I shouldnt have done that last night - sounds like a fab party Lottie xx

travellingwilbury · 26/04/2009 11:26

Glad you had a good time Lottie , it sounds like a great night .

I would have to agree with Ilike about possibly maybe still being a wee bit on the pished side

Beware around lunchtime

Shabs how you feeling this morning ? Funnily enough I tried to get on here at about 11 last night to have a good old rant . I sometimes get a bit bloody fed up of being so stupidly reasonable about idiots .

My computer obviously knew better and wouldn't let me on

Dont get that pisched very often....think last week was hard work for some strange reason. Loads of thoughts running round my head wont be doing it again for quite some time!! xxx

travellingwilbury · 26/04/2009 11:35

I think it can do you some good sometimes to let it all out . It does get tiring being bloody nice to plonks all the time and pretending all is well .

Hi all, sorry I have not been around this past little bit. I have not been well, and it seems to have made its way around the house.
lottie, happy belated birthday, sounds like it was a great party last night! We were out for my best friends birthday last night, was so glad I was finally feeling better, just sad I was not able to join in the champagne toast. I had planned a surprise party for her, and it went off without a hitch which was great! So we too, are all in recovery mode today! Thank goodness for Sundays!
Have a great day all, and hope you get out and enjoy the sunshine!

Hey folks

Had a bit of a busy weekend, on Friday night i went to a button party - i may have got slightly! drunk and therefore not many buttons got sorted - but i had fun! Still not heard from my sister at all, so it looks like she's not coming to the Christening after all, but, one of my oldest friends has decided to make a weekend of it with her DH and DD's, and is travelling the 250 miles to be here - i'm so so pleased, we don't get to see each other all that often, but have known each other since we were 14

Hope you had a lovely party Lottie, and that you're feeling a bit better, Melissa x

shabster · 26/04/2009 23:49

shabster · 27/04/2009 06:27
