    Hiya Ladies and Gents.

    Hope your day is going well.

    Just wanted to say Thank You so much, for the condolences.

    Am still feeling a bit numb. In shock I think.

    Can't believe I'm never going to see Paul again.

    Girlfriend came over last night, and we ate pizza, and watched trashy telly. Just what I needed, to not think.

    The one thing, I'm not going to do, is drink on this.

    Cheers,

    Sim x

    Sim, best wishes to you and my condolences.

    off on Holiday tonight for 2 weeks - will try not to over indulge. At the moment I am so so tired that this holiday will really do me some good.

    I'll try to pop in but data roaming is sooo expensive I can only do it if I'm on a fixed computer.

    Hav a fun time
    Trying to keep in budget.
