    Hi Everyone

    I have been reading thru all the lovely comments about Diva she would be overwhelmed ... I know she hasn't posted on this thread for quite some time now but whenever someone mentioned her or sent hugs I would pass the message on ... typical Diva response was "I'm surprised they still remember me" :)

    I'm still pretty numb ... it's beginning to sink in that I won't get another text or a phone call with her singing down the line simply to cheer me up ... I know exactly what she would tell me tho ... "Get a grip ... life is for living .. make the most of what time you have left darling" ... she has said that to me so many times in the past ;)

    So that will be my tribute to her .. I will keep fighting & make her proud of me ....


    Love & hugs to all ... hold your dearest close & don't be afraid to tell them you love them ... Diva & I never said goodbye with out saying "love you" ... I can be grateful for that.

    xx

    :T How could anyone forget a character like Diva :D It will be a sadder place without her but she will keeping a beady eye on us of that we can be sure ;)

    Sending huge hugs to you at this time.

    Just getting everything laid out for the morning. Under my new commitments it is critical that I get organised or I will simply drown so I got home and did the list, plus the DW, S&S the kitchen, wiped the loos and hoovered downstairs.

    I've been Money Tipped!
    I didn't know diva, but ita amazing how people on line can touch our lives.I've made friends with people I've come to care a lot about through MSE.

    Today I've also started typing out a list of what I would normally do on a living room day so I can use my own lists when I've completed. I can't do it exactly the same or one post of mine would be a page long here! But I break it down even more.

    I'm going to have to leave dishes tonight though....my legs and back are too sore to stand at the sink tonight, and I have loads of mugs to wash up....

    Tomorrow I've got my mother coming for the day and need to take her out shopping so I'm hoping it WON'T be stairs and hall tomorrow! ;)

    Now that I'm back from running around two purple (partylite) candles lit for Diva (and one online one)

    on a flying note - decluttered more stuff and posted a sale while I took DS to the docs (cannot remember if I told you this)
    came in from work to find DD in the midst of washing up - I was late out this morning and left the kitchen in a mess, unwashed pots and all but came home to find peace and harmony being restored - so I have washed up all the tea things and dried and put away some
    DD has been suitably rewarded - sachets from Prima have been despatched her way (I buy it from the co-op then I get divvi!)

    I'd LOVE a G&T with ice and lime please, long glass - HScocktail.gif
