    Just seen in the paper, an announcement regarding the arrangements for my late best Friend's funeral.

    Hit me like a ton of bricks just now, and I couldn't stop crying.

    God knows what his Brothers, and Mum or Dad are going to be like.

    I'm really finding in tough, thinking I'll never see him again.

    What was lovely, is that his Family have asked for donations to both Cancer Research, and a local homeless charity where he recently worked.

    P was the kindest bloke I've ever known.

    The funeral is next Tuesday August 3rd, and they've asked everyone to wear bright colours (Paul would've definitely wanted this! :) )

    My Mum died on August 1st too.

    It's going to be a tough weekend :-/

    Off out for a short walk in the fresh air.

    Hope you're all having a good day.

    Cheers,

    Sim x

    Hi All

    First off apolgies again about yesterday.

    Fate got its own back on me as I had an asthma attack last night and felt very poorly. Did not make it to work today and ended up sleeping in until 2.00. (Also have COPD which doesnt help)

    So this had made me have a real think....please bare with me.
    I need to sort myself out, both financially, on the home front and with the booze etc.

    This means that I MUST STOP drinking, get more organised, learn to say NO when things are getting on top of me and people want things from me and remember at the end of the day I am not a bad person.

    OK thats my rant over!


    Sim.... Really feel for you honey and hope you are ok.(((((HUGS)))))

    Miss P... Thank you for the hugs:A

    DB .... Thank you for the message.

    HB....How are you doing ?

    Laura....Welcome to the thread
    :)

    Lurkio, Jo and Shaggy.....You make me laugh with your posts such fun:rotfl:

    SSG...... HUGE congratulation you are a real inspiration and doing so well:T


    EVERYONE.......Thanks for being there and being so kind:A


    Ok off to do a bit of housework, take care all


    love
