    Sorry to hear this JC. Have you asked for feedback, sounds to me like you did really well. I would think that there must be something better around the corner. Keep your chin up and dont let it knock your confidence. Remember Firewalker says you have to have a set number of rejections (or soemthing like that)

    Could I ask for your positive vibes and support tomorrow?

    I sadly have to take my teenage daughter to her friend's funeral, and am absolutely dreading it. Please send positive vibes late morning tomorrow to help me to help my daughter and especially the girl's family through this awful time :(
    Spud what a difficult thing to have to do. I hope that you and your daughter can get through the day and my thoughts are with the family and yourselves at such a sad time.

    Spud,

    I am so sorry that your daughter is going through this and you too. From experience I'd say be prepared for it to take quite a long time to get over - the sorrow will resurface from time to time so be kind to yourselves.

    Spud,
    How dreadful for you both. Your daughter must be devastated - it's not something you expect anyone so young to have to cope with. She'll need lots of TLC which I know you'll give her. I'll be thinking of you tomorrow.

    Right I've borrowed DH's sat-nav, and am sort of psyching myself up to get going (plenty of time).
    Driving in the dark is NOT my thing. I can do it if I HAVE to.
    Tonight I don't HAVE to, I WANT to.
    Big difference.
    I even wnet out the past couple of nights so I would'nt be such a wuss. I know its stupid, but I will get over it :eek::rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    I think it is lovely that you want to do something that you dislike because you know you will enjoy what it waiting at the end. Hope you ladies are having a lovely evening :D

    Ughhhh, I think funerals are so much tougher when they are for youngsters. Although it is never easy to lose anyone you can at least look back over the years of an older person's life and see all they got to do and the achievements they had but when it is someone young there is added sadness because of the experiences they will miss out on. It will be a very sad day indeed. Sending you and your DD hugs.

    MG & Cheery - hope you are both feeling better today.

    Positive thoughts for those that need them :D
