oh Rachel my heart goes out to you. What a long wait for the funeral. You must be exhausted. It's 20 years since my beloved dad died and I still remember the packed church. I'm so proud to be the daughter of a man that was loved by so many people. Take care0

Thinking of you Rachel at this difficult time. Just take each day as it comes. I'm glad the funeral went ok and that the church was packed.
Hope the police catch the robbing ******s. It was obviously someone who knew what had happened and thought it would be empty. Some people have no shame :mad:

Stupotstu -well done on the two nights!:T
Things are hard round here at the moment, but luckily Im not turning to booze to help - my minds confused enough already!
Anyway, off to tidy up before meeting my best friend for Lunch.

Sorry to hear life is so tough rachel. I'm not going to send one of those inappropriate pervy looking hugs but I do want you to know I'm thinking of you. As for AFness, I'm sure it's the last thing on your mind. I'd aim for controlled drinking in public if I were you. You've obviously got it at the back of your mind so you'll return to AF days sooner or later. Maybe a tiny target for May so you don't lose the habit? Well done for trying to give a eulogy.:A
I managed another last night. I had a horrible bad back and did think of trying for anaesthetic properties but decided that wasn't really playing by the rules.:o
9AFDs for April and 2 for the SNC please.
Ironically, I'm pleased with what beckseven thinks is a poor score for her. It's all relative. I'm delighted I'll be getting to my target as I had planned drinking days for a week over Easter plus all my usual weekends.
Sorry that life is hard for you MissP, hope it eases up soon. :Ton your resolve.0 -

Hi all,
I'm expecting that I won't recognise many names for a while but I'll be vigilant and do my best to catch up!
how are we?
Apologies for the long disappearance. Happy to confirm that all is still well at Bismarck Towers. A 5 year anniversary is coming up and I'm OK today which is the main thing.
Take care everyone.
BisFor what I've done...I start again...And whatever pain may come ...Today this ends... I'm forgiving what I've done -AF since June 20070
