    Thanks to you all.

    Following a suggestion from AnW, we attached birthday messages to helium balloons and let them go. Then we decorated "daddy" gingerbreads, with very funny results!

    I was warned though that the day after difficult days might be even harder and oh boy has today been hard, I've been a real mess all day. Early night called for I think.

    Hugs to all you fantastic ladies. Shelanne xxxxx

    Hi everyone

    Well this is it, the inquest is tomorrow. Glad it is here now, today has been one of the longest days in a long time, thank goodness for Alice and William. They have kept my mind off of events about to unfold.

    Shelanne well done on getting through Keith's birthday, I am sure he will be really proud of you all :) and I am glad I was able to offer you some practical help with the bank accounts. Anything else give me a shout.

    I took some flowers to Ian today but kept a couple of yellow roses back to pin on my lapel this next couple of days. Yellow was his favourite colour :) In some ways the next couple of days will be long but in others they will flash by. I just need to prepare Alice especially if anything is reported in the press.

    Hugs to everyone, keep strong. xx

    Crossed posts with you Shelanne!

    The gingerbread sounds like a lot of fun, might have to pinch that one for another time ;) Sorry to hear today was tough as well but you are almost through it, sit back DVD, choc and a drink of your choice is in order :)

    Thanks Dusty, Pigpen has suggested to the other flyladies that they wear something yellow :) some of them may be walking round with banana's in their top pockets :rotfl: It's so good to know that there are people thinking of us.

    If I remember in time I shall cut a daffodil for Alice to wear on her school jumper. Got a yellow t shirt William could wear, a daffodil would not survive 10 seconds with him!

  • Hi AnW's Mum, Thinking positive thought for you for tomorrow. Love the idea of something yellow, brilliant.

    Didn't know there was a flylady thread on here, I shall have to investigate later, used to do that, but fell by the wayside.
