    Aw, FH that is so sad. I can't imagine your friend's pain - how cruel can life be? You're right too - that sort of thing really puts things into perspective.

    My sympathies are with her and her friends and family.

    That jumpy man looks soooooo good :D I must say I am very happy that I managed. Thanks for keeping score Pen.

    I've had my friend on my mind all day. Being induced today doesn't even mean it's all done yet. I suppose I will hear eventually. All I can do is keep her in my thoughts. I've had a few mutual friends call me today and we're all as shocked and saddened as each other.

    I haven't had a glass of wine yet. But I sure do feel like it. But it won't make me feel any better. My two gorgeous boys are asleep upstairs. I'm lucky X
    Need to start again :o

    Well done Sue. Another one down. Sleep well.

    Tough day fh but I hope you've managed to be strong. So unfair.

    Well I've been bad but I'm off to bed now before I become worse. :o

    Night all, sleep peacefully. New day tomorrow to make the most of.

    That's such sad news FH. Sincere sympathy to your poor friend and her family. It certainly put life's little niggles into perspective.

    What do we do when we fall? We get up, dust ourselves off and start walking in the right direction again. Perhaps when we fall, it is easy to forget there are people along the way who help us stand and walk with us as we get back on track.

    Good morning everyone.

    I've just received the saddest news :( A wonderful friend of mine has just lost her baby full term. She has to give birth to the little angel today.

    Puts things into perspective X

    FH - this happened to a friend of mine too. She had a little girl:( so sad. She went on to have another little girl about 18 months later - but it's heartbreaking.
