[JuanPotatoTwo]

New thread, not very imaginative title sorry! I can't remember how to link - having a blank moment.

Hugs all round. Love the nails.

Just popping in -

My love - as ever to the wonderful & amazing ElPeskyJuan.

(Not tooooooooooooo long until the French Open............ )

(((xxx)))

Just calling by too say night.

for all who need them.

Night Juan -and everyone else.
Sleep tight xx

Also just popping in to say goodnight.

And good morning.
Hope everyone is well, how are you sleeping at the moment Juan?

Very relaxing day yesterday, quite a lot of hot tubbing, swam, boys did some activities, food (I'll be 5:2-ing again for a couple of weeks after this).
Not sure on plans for today.

Morning
Have to be off out today, but just wanted to pop in and wish you a good day .
Thoughts and prayers xx

Evening Aunties, hope you've all had good days. Squirrels hope today was as relaxing as yesterday for you and that you're all benefiting from the break. Selena I can only imagine how interminable the wait between appointments must be for you both. Must be so draining.

Another bad day for me today - not quite as bad as yesterday though. Settled the final bill for the funeral which was upsetting (and not just cos it's eye wateringly expensive!) I hate anything that is a step towards erasing Mark's presence. And I had a scary letter from the tax man that I don't understand so taking it over to my friend's later.

I can't remember if I've said but every Maundy Thursday Mark went to a reunion dinner in his home town. We were meant to be going together tomorrow and staying at a hotel for a couple of nights. Have obviously cancelled but feeling very sad. Mark's best friend, P, and his sister are still going and P will be speaking about Mark. :(

The quickest dip in Juan - so sorry to hear it was another bad day . The taxman will not have had your letter yet, or sorted things out. The letter you have will have been sent out before it. Don't panic
got to run now
((hugs))

Thank you book. Hope you have a good evening.

Just going to echo book.

Don't panic - HMRC are actually quite nice (if you are not a criminal). They will help you to sort things out.

There is little you can do now until next Tuesday so try not to worry about it all.

NOTHING will ever erase Mark - he will be in your heart & he is 50% of your DCs - he will be with you for ever.

(((xxx)))

Just checking in too. Sorry to hear you are struggling and that your plans with Mark couldn't go ahead.

Echo not worrying too much about HMRC

Hi Juan, sorry today has been another hard one.

Hope your friend can reassure you a bit. HMRC does have some humans, but they're not the ones that generate the letters.

Although it's heartbreaking that you couldn't make the reunion together, it's lovely that Mark's friends will pay tribute to him there.

Magi those are comforting words. And what you said about Mark was nice too .

Evening Cake.

Dd and boyfriend are going to a wedding in Dubai tomorrow until Tuesday - he lives nearer the airport so I waved her off earlier. Youngest Ds is at a friend's overnight, ds2 is out at a party and Ds1 has got work tomorrow so just gone to bed. Mark was always the last one of us up - he never slept well so was up to bed last and first down in the morning. Sometimes when I'm in bed of a night I pretend he's downstairs as usual :(.

Oh I'm sorry married missed your post. Friend's husband will get back to me tomorrow but he didn't seem too concerned. And yes, Mark's memory will be in good hands with P doing the speaking :)

We haven't had a picture of Bertie for a few days

Bertie's grown!

Evening Juan. Sorry today was tough.

So sad that your reunion plans cannot be, but I'm sure P will do Mark proud. Would someone record what he says for you, so you can listen to it when you want to?

Your DC are a busy lot. In my house I have one just getting up (don't ask) one about to go to bed, and the other has gone off with his friends, making the most of a few days off work, so I've no idea when I'll see him.

Bertie photos are a highlight of my day, these days.

HMRC messed up with my claim after the loss, I couldn't face ringing so my my mam rang them. You can always give someone else permission to speak in your behalf if it makes it easier.

Just here to say night, for anyone struggling.

What a sweet dog. I'm abroad for a few weeks and missing mine. And my kids even more, but at least I can skype my kids.. stupid DDog won't look at the iPad.

Hope it all gets sorted with the taxman soon. Those kind of worries are so shit just when you need th time and space to process and grieve.

Back home, and just a quick dip in
magi' s words are the truth - Mark will always be with you, don't ever think he won't .
Love, thoughts and prayers and a wish for all for a restful , peaceful nights sleep xx'

Just saying morning. I'm going for a walk to the library with the children and then DD and I are watching a show while the boys amuse themselves.

Thinking of you while you have less company this weekend. We'll be here.

Popping in to say morning.
Sun is shining, hope it is where you are

Head around the door
thoughts and prayers xx

Evening :(. I'm sad - the reunion dinner will be getting under way about now. I've been busy today - out and about with friends - and had a good day. But now I'm very tearful. P has had a bad day too today he's said, but he's got himself off to the dinner ready to speak.

Picked ds3 up from his sleepover at 6ish - he'd made me an Easter card in which he'd written he'll always be here for me. He's such a nice little boy, too nice to have lost his Dad. Dd has landed in Dubai.

Hope you all have had good days and have a nice peaceful (or indeed eventful if you'd prefer :) ) evenings.

Oh Juan {{ }} < I have no wise words, that's a virtual hug. Your little boy sounds lovely.
