    My thoughts are with you mrs3dogs, so sorry to read the news this morning.

    I have just spent the best part of an hour trying to get coupon printer to work on my DD laptop, I give up.

    Had some sad news last week, my sisters fiance passed away, I didn't know him all that well as firstly they lived about 200 miles away, then they moved to Australia. Now my poor sister that is also 6 months pregnant with their first child, cannot stay in Australia as it was his job that kept them there. He had health problems, but he was just so young. Early thirties. She has plenty of family there for her. My thoughts are with my sister also.

    Sorry to bring the mood even lower, think I will go and snuggle up with my 20 month old while she is sleeping. We could all do with a mega glitch, across the country. I remember sending my brother down to the local express for muller yoghurts and he is such a doughnut that he came off his bike on the way back, ended up in some bushes..with the bags of yoghurts. Not to worry though, he used to do it a lot. He once rode his bike into a parked car, because he was looking at the birds in the sky.

    I keep just missing whoopsie time at my local and seeing the reduced bits in everyone else's trolleys and a couple of weeks ago, a lady told me that some woman took the whole pallet of reduced strawberries and just tipped them all into her trolley!!! Must try harder.

    Sorry for long post, must be making up for not posting in forever, just really haven't been keeping up or feeling up to it lately. Right, I'm off for my cuddle with baby, before she wakes and won't give me any.

    Just goes to show what a kind, sensitive person you really are.

    I am so sorry to hear about Alan's passing. Susan you have been a truly remarkable woman throughout Alan's illness and he was so lucky to have a strong, caring, loving woman like you in his life.

    Thinking of you x x

    I have never met my friend Alan but he shared his journey with me through his wife Susan, thank you. It is with a heavy heart that I bid my farewell to you Alan and maybe someday I will get to shake your hand xx
