Thinking of Zombie and raising a G&T (slimline for those on the low carb thread) to you.

Sending love to Zombie x and Wine for all the amazing posters on her threads. Xx

Moves house, clutching fleece blanket as I'm cold tonight !

I've been busy crocheting away on the Candy's Hugs thread and have a parcel of woolly squares, made with love, ready to send.

I thought I'd check in on Zombie's thread expecting to hear she was warm, comfy and pain free but I'm actually feeling so worried about what's going on. I don't have facebook and have only ever followed Zombie on MN, I really have no idea how she is but she is in my thoughts and prayers.

I'll be picking up my crochet hook again soon and I'll be hooking away to help Candy's hugs with a newly invigorated fervour.

I'll also be toasting her good health with a rather fine juniper gin that Santa bought!!

No idea what's going on, but I've been following Zombie's thread for about 6 months. Can someone PM me her FB?

Blistory · 22/01/2017 19:13

What a very special woman to have inspired such love and affection. Very gentle hugs to Zombie and warm thoughts to all of you holding her in your hearts and thoughts. May your love help her through.

Sending massive hugs to our lovely Zombie. And to Zlad and Zlass, and all the staff at the hospice.

BewitchedBotheredandBewildered · 22/01/2017 19:16

Thanks for new thread Fid, found it eventually doh!

Big wine for all, clincalissimo!

BrianCoxWithBellsOn · 22/01/2017 19:17

I'm sorry, I am weeping and I have tried not to. But I have somewhere quiet to discuss that, so just wanted to join in here as feel a bit like real-life doesn't understand, so I need to be with internet people who do (if that makes sense!?)

My memory of Zombie that makes me laugh, I alluded to it on Facebook post, so this is me outing myself!

Back on 2010/11 ish when I were but a Mumsnet baybee, wet behind the ears and eager to join in spent every waking second here I started reading a Zombie Apocalypse thread. I was hooked. Then this really funny character pops up, IAmTheZombie, and I instantly fall in love with the suave, sophisticated, third-person-talking, oft three limbed, Zombie. So, after a lot of wine I've joined in the thread and am enjoying the camaraderie, I declare my love for Zombie. I ask if Zombie is single. Zombie is clearly horrified and probably would have clutched pearls, had she been wearing them. Zombie tells Brian "I am a respectable married Zombie thankyouverymuch" Grin Blush

There started an online friendship that has meant a lot to me over the years, a lot of support and virtual hand-holding, a hell of a lot of laughter most importantly.

I really had hoped to meet you in person, I kept thinking recently that my free weekend in March was do-able, but it appears not.

I said it on FB, I shall say it here. Thank you Zombie xxx

Hi Candy, I used to be on your facebook but not any more.

I saw the update post earlier but can't comment on it, so have barged in on the Phalanx thread just to say ...

I have so very much enjoyed our online and real life chats and that hospices are marvellous places to let everyone do everything for you. And those hugs of yours definitely deserve a trademark! Lots of love, J xxxx

Rachie1986 · 22/01/2017 19:19

Delurking to send Flowers. Not sure of the updates as not on fb but thinking of Zombie family and friends xx

Bibblewanda · 22/01/2017 19:20

I've been a regular for ages but a lurker. Nothing to add except Flowers

Nanasueathome · 22/01/2017 19:20

I don't have Facebook and have not usually posted on these threads but I have followed Zombies' path and have enjoyed reading the updates and comments from you all
Is anyone able to update here what is happening please?

BrianCoxWithBellsOn · 22/01/2017 19:20

For those not on facebook and who are asking. Zombie's friend has updated to say that Zombie took a turn for the worse, is in a lot of pain and is now on the morphine drip.

Once at the stage of needing a morphine drip, it is just a matter of time, unfortunately.

Nanasueathome · 22/01/2017 19:21

So, so concerned but sending lots of love

Northernlurker · 22/01/2017 19:21
