Hi all

I've tried to catch up with the thread but can't possibly read 12 pages so hugs to all who need them, fingers crossed for anyone who needs them and hello to newbies

Haven't done much flying really for the last 2 weeks as my Gran died and although for some strange reason I'm not to upset about it my DD is devastated and I've had to support Mum as much as she'll let me, so routines have gone out of the window. Funeral is tomorrow and I'm really hoping that DD will be able to say her goodbyes and then return to being a happy child [really hoping that resilience[sp?] wins out for her]. So for this week I'm only aiming for level 1 each day and anything else is a bonus. I also feel very very mean cos I don't feel as awful as the rest of the family do [Mum called me hard] but I hadn't had alot of contact with Gran for years, Mum took DD to visit and I used the time to catch up on jobs round the house as I was a single Mum then. So feeling guilty, not looking forward to Mum and DD being upset tomorrow and generally feeling carp

Anyway, off to start the list for today

Thanks to Pigpen, Soapie and Toots

((((((((((((((((((((((hugs))))))))))))))))))))
As Orkney Star said, grief does affect us all differently I am usually ok till the funeral then all hell breaks loose, but you shouldnt feel guilty about how you are feeling either. Someone always has to be calm and rational, and maybe this time its you, dont feel bad

As for your DD I am sure she will be just fine, they are a lot tougher than we take them for

I will share a little story with you:D

As some of you may be aware it was DS other Grans funeral last week, his youngest wee brother said " she is dead" quite matter of factly, he is 2:rotfl: and his oldest wee brother said to HIS other gran " i will see you after you have done the body bit" ( he is 5):rotfl:

It kinda "cheered" up what was a horrible day for us all:o

Thanks everyone I know I'm allowed to vent about my problems...but it just made me remember that there's a hell of a lot that I need to be thankful for too

My major issue at the moment is STILL...that my house is a mess!!! It's not dirty...there's just too much STUFF! As my husband tells me...he has "things" (things have a purpose and are, therefore, allowed), I have "stuff" (it has no purpose and just gets in the way. To be fair, it's because he left all his "stuff" with his parents in Australia (who just threw it out when they moved!) and I'm a sentimental old fool who comes from a long line of people who don't throw things away! However, this is all going to change...maybe
