    Thanks all

    It was a really good send off, and he would have been so proud of everyone.
    My younger cousin had collected a load of petals which we all used to throw into the grave, instead of dirt and it was really good....

    I left my letter of notice on my boss's desk just before i left, so dont know if he's read it or what, and i just really really dont want to go back! Part of me really hopes that he cuts my notice period short...
