As you...Thank you so much ladies for your thoughts. As you say Sandra it doesn't get any easier on these days. I do try and stay strong as I know that's what Allan would want me to be but it is hard sometimes.<br />I think it's sad about your SIL Pat. Everyone has to grieve but I think there comes a time when other close people want to talk about the Happy times they had not dwell on the sad parts. I do hope she gets to that place soon.<br />Sandra you made me laugh with your cat story. That's just what Kit did today, went stiff and did a starfish. We only managed to take 2. Harvey sat on the roof of the shed over the road eyeing us up and no am out of cat treats would bring him down. We were telling the vet and he said next year just ring and he'll come out to the house and see to the cats for no extra charge. I thought that was really good. In the meantime we have to catch and take Harvey in tomorrow.<br />Well just heard the microwave ding . I think my chilli is heated up.<br />Have a good evening everyone. xxxVal Joneshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14766670798729908920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-81371490807090895782017-01-09T16:28:09.065+00:002017-01-09T16:28:09.065+00:00lol yes he did it all by himself.

My SIL only goes on about how her daughter died and her treatment over 8 yrs ago. Not something Pete wants to keep hearing. I keep dropping hints but she's oblivious. She makes sandwiches and eats them on the beach on Christmas Day. She told us she was reading poems about people dying over Christmas. So so sad.Pat S Witneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01805104841993312589noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-72570945296703817452017-01-09T15:45:37.269+00:002017-01-09T15:45:37.269+00:00Hi Brenda

So many funerals, so sad, I bet your ha...Hi Brenda,<br />So many funerals, so sad, I bet your hairdresser is so thankful that her son has stayed to help get things sorted out, we did same for my mum, there are so many things to think about from cancelling car insurance (I was shocked and disgusted that they charge an administration fee for cancelling a policy if someone has died)!, Sorting banks and life insurance etc, mum had no clue about any of them, we spent a good two days calling round, paying things off etc, leaving Mum free to think about dads funeral. <br />Now,about yesterday's roast, I did it in stages, Lucy did make Yorkshire's but that was as far as their help went, they were both too busy revising apparently, I explained that they needed to learn so they could cook for themselves when the leave home, Sophie's response was "mum I'm always going to be your baby, I won't be leaving home anytime soon", by the time Paul walked in I was about fit to drop, it's so frustrating, I love cooking for my family and love seeing the table all laden with their favourite foods but it's just too much now, as a result I finally got my pain under control at about 3.45am, so I didn't get much sleep, today has just been written off !! <br />I hope you don't suffer too much from being stood out in the cold Brenda,<br />Love and hugs,<br />Sandra <br />xxxxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-60738472242185956242017-01-09T15:25:14.420+00:002017-01-09T15:25:14.420+00:00Hi Tracy your emai has just come through Graeme...Hi Tracy your emai has just come through Graeme's card is really good <br />Did he do all the Die cutting as well no stopping him now did he make the second card too.

Thinking of you today and sending huge hug...Hi Val,<br />Thinking of you today and sending huge hugs, these anniversaries bring so much heartache, the pain doesn't get any less either. I am so pleased that you feel comfortable enough to share your thoughts, that is something I have always been passionate about, Having a place to be able to share your thoughts and worries without feeling guilty, I don't mind how long your posts are either, I find it helps to just write things down sometimes. <br />We all stand beside you Val as friends to help ease your pain, I hope that gives you a little comfort, the hugs are on their way, they are super soft and gentle hugs xxx<br /><br />I can totally sympathise with catching the cats, our two don't like going to the Vet at all, the last appointment we had I had to call vets twice to change the time as despite our best efforts Bella had no intention of getting in that basket, Milo will cooperate if there are treats on offer, so he was in the basket first, by the time we had managed to round Bella up we looked like we had been in a bar brawl, we had blood dripping from arms, legs,my chest too (where she had latched with her claws)! You could see the amusement on the vets staff faces as we limped in, to add insult to injury the vet can just reach in and calmly take them out of the basket and pop them back in after, neither cat struggled or did the 'cat starfish' (where they stretch out their limbs so they won't fit in the basket opening)! <br />When we get home we open basket up and let them out, we have always left basket open so they become familiar with it, the cheeky beggars will go get in it and sleep after we have got back from vets!<br />Hope your appointment goes well Val and you manage to get them loaded up without drama!<br />Love and hugs sweet friend,<br />Sandra <br />xxxxxxSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04200010622107370353noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8956760013891051450.post-88944587147320905082017-01-09T12:13:15.601+00:002017-01-09T12:13:15.601+00:00Hi Mrs b.
