Hi Everlong.

It's such a tough time of year for you. I'm not sure I can say anything to make you feel better, but here's a {{{hug}}}

Sometimes a year seems like such a long time, but then it feels like time has flown by. Time is a funny thing.

I hope you managed to get the daffs planted PPM

afternoon girls hope everyone ok ,its crap this time of year isnt it,its freezing cold here

Morning girls - thank god its Friday xx

Good morning everyone xx

I have got my sister and bf coming today so I had better sort out the spare room , tidy house , get the washing sorted and out away , etc etc etc

I feel tired just thinking about it .

How we all doing ?

Morning TW - more tired than Mrs Tired from Tired Street, Tiredtown [feeble grin emoticon]

Ah now thats no good Shabs , why so tired ?
Have you been on the razzle ?

Everlong , you and Oliver will be in my thoughts today xxx

No razzling for me since last Saturday...

Lighting a candle for Oli and Everlong - holding you in my thoughts today xx

Morning.
Yesterday was a month since db's death. Went pub with mum and db to have a jd and coke for matt. We wrote messages on a balloon and realised it for him.
I'm trying to get db's facebook account memorialised but dont know how to do it. He keeps coming up as a sugestion for me to 'reconnect' with. Upsets me too much but i dont want to delete him from my list. I'm hoping we get him back later today in his final resting place and will raise JD and coke to him (again)
Thinking of you and yours today everlong

Shelley - I have just searched on Facebook to try and find out how you do that but, up to now, I cant find any answers. Will keep trying and let you know.

I have aswell cant find anything so far. I know they do it, alwayslookingforanswers linked me a newspaper article that said about it but nothing in there of how to do it. Ill look again in a little while. Thanks

Awww Everlong. You are so right - birthdays are a special day aren't they? Im now at the stage, many years down the line, where I can smile when my precious boys birthdays come along. We usually have a special tea and a drink to celebrate. xx

Everlong , I find the birthday harder in a lot of ways , it should be such a happy day .

You will get to the point where you can smile on birthdays TW - it has taken me years and years but now I can deal with them. On Matts 21st we all got roaring drunk, sang on karaoke and had sprint pavement races in the middle of our town no idea who started that off but have a feeling it would be my brother

Thanks Shabs , great image

And yes you are right her hair is a bit

You can also have the keys to my house if you fancy it.

Has Ruth had another new 'do? I saw that she'd dyed it dark brown and it was far too harsh for her.
