    flick, its the adult members of the family that are all feuding, its going to be a nightmare, my mil doesnt get on with her brother and is not happy over the arrangements,
    my mil is extremely high maintenance, even my hubbie admits that, she is refusing to go to the wake, which I think is a hugh mistake!

    That;s what I meant though; ensure you tell her on your own, eg without the rest of the family (other than DH).

    Do you think DH can talk MIL round? She can't miss the wake!!

    Morning

    (((((cistolic))))) if you read this, you know where I am.

    (((((Sue)))))

    FE - sounds like you had a good night - want to hear all about it - with photos if possible.

    Cathy - I dread family funerals - mainly cos MIL has NO tact at all (oh, and doesn't do quiet either):o i.e. would you go up to someone at your DILs mother's funeral and say 'and who are you?' :rotfl::rotfl:- in a tone of voice that implies they've wandered off the street for the buffet......:D - none of her bluudy business who they are is it.....:rolleyes:. My SIL wasn't amused.... And you're right about not telling Beth yet - my FIL died on a Friday and we didn't tell Becky until the Sunday (mainly 'cos it was her birthday party on the Saturday and didn't want her to have her day ruined).

    (((hugs to everyone else except Toni 'cos she doesn't like them))) - and sorry guys but Toni's getting all the lucky dust for the next couple of days.

    Looks like rain here - was so cold yesterday I had to dig the jumpers out again. Main aim to do today is sort out three boxes of [STRIKE]carp[/STRIKE] stuff out for PTA car boot sale on Sunday.

    I'll upload some photos soon; they're amazing pics though; very clear from 3rd row centre under his mic. Amazing show. :D

    Morning all.

    Miserable day here again. Dull and raining. And I'm so very tired. Gonna need some help with my mood today so all jokes/funny stories/pics welcome. Last day at work for the week though so that's definitely a good thing.

    Bit disappointed as we had thought of going to New York next year for a short break, but it doesn't look like we can afford it. Silly I know coz I bought a car the other day so obviously that's a good thing to spend our savings on and I'm not ungrateful (quite the opposite - I'm so excited about having it!), but you know what I mean... having something you need means you can't do something you really want. Money just never goes quite far enough.

    Thinking of you and your family today Cathy xx
    Life is all about the journey.

    Morning all :wave:

    If anyone hasn't claimed something yet, remember to sign in to national office week here before the 100 things go on offer at 9 :) (and there's still tape spots on offer too here)

    Hope everyone has a lucky day today and we see some more good Inn winners :D
