    Hi 3Dogs, I'm so sorry for you loss. The first few pages of this thread had me choked, he must have been a wonderful man, and indeed a lucky one to have you by his side.

    You are an inspiration Xx

    He was PLMBL :D:D I see you are in Newcastle. Mr 3Dogs and I are both Geordies, from North Shields and Wallsend respectively, though we lived down this way since 1985

    Yup I'm a Geordie too. All my Mum's side of the family live in the east end too but I'm closer to the airport. Do you come back up this way? Things have changed A LOT recently. Much more cosmopolitan! Xx

    Over the last 2 years I have been up 'home' a lot as my Mam has been in an end-of life unit at a home in North Shields since November 2010 :( All my family are up there - my brother, sister and brother-in-law, niece and her hubbie and 2 girls - and all Alan's family still up there too. When I get a new motor sorted out, I will be going up and down again to see Mam and family :beer:

    Alan and I went up about a month before he passed away, so he could see his family, especially his Dad who couldn't travel dowwn to see him. We had a lovely day down the coast, including Tynemouth Front Street where we originally met in the late 70's, and a day in Newcastle city centre too. Amazing to see all the posh riverside apartments. It was good and we enjoyed it, but it tired Alan out a lot :(

    Morning 3Dogs & Friends

    The start of another week so Happy Monday to you all:j:j .

    Well my sons wedding went brilliantly and for all of you who are on FB I have posted a few pics. Shattered though and surprised by how emotional it has made me....and how fast the years whizz past.

    Insomnia has kicked in big time though and I only managed 4 hours sleep last night so I hope I will make it through today!:eek::eek:

    Glad the wedding went of so well Angel, though I'm with you on the lack of sleep. I have been awake since before dawn this morning (indigestion of all things - shouldn't have had that toast last night :D)

    We went to a BBQ on Saturday night - was lovely to catch up on so many people I haven't seen since last years 'do'. Made plans to keep in touch with some of them more though, if our move to West Yorkshire comes off we will be passing by the area more often to visit the kids here in Hull. Not to mention everyone suddenly wants to come an visit :rotfl:Well I suppose Haworth is just a bit prettier:D I just hope our plans work out as we hope.

    Well another week at the sh!tty job - hopefully we can come to an agreement about the house in Haworth next weekend and I can tell them where to stuff it :) At least I have a full weekend to look forward to this time.

    Of for a shower to see if I can wake myself up.

    whizzes over to fb to see if I can spy through 3Dogs' fb.

    Am stressed to the hilt. :( Have to go in for a meeting today, have to take DS to friend's house, she sounded really cheesed off, she is having major problems too. I have to call my LL because DH is too much of a coward.

    I have loads to do before I get to friend's for 12pm and then work for 1pm.

    stress, stress, stress.
