Hi pops, hope your ok. It was my dads birthday yesterday, and I appreciate how you feel on an anniversary. Glad you were able to come on here and post. Raise a glass later to toast your mum, im sure she is looking over you and smiling with pride.

Weel the last load of washing requests being pegged out. Have prepared tea for OH and DD, fish pie and veg. I will have a yoghurt I expect as im working.

Take care toughies x

That's very thoughtful of you NuttyP and thank you. And can I return your comment to you. I am so happy that you managed to do something nice on the anniversary and the weather was kind.

I will never forget and like you I think their influence continues in our lives and I like to think they do still watch over us and it gives comfort but I do think I am finding my way again and am still the person I always was and can laugh and smile at life without feeling that is wrong. I have my interests still and may even be finding new ones.

Some are quite mundane:plike doing the washing:rotfl:whilst still here and with access to a garden...looking forward to hanging them on the line and not using the tumble drier...at least the washer means that the water it squeezes out of them they dry quicker than they used to when hung out to dry.

Hi pops, good to hear of your bread making and food festival trip - you are turning out to be a right foodie!

Also wanted to say I am thinking of you today, hope you have a peaceful day and we are right here if you want to pop by later.

thankyou to stilt walker
for grout cleaning tips with bleach and bicarb....did it to day and the bathroom is gleaming...thanks again

SQ Thank you its much appreciated.

Isn't it funny talking of food, I love it and yet eat less than I used to but thankfully its not through an eating disorder and I will eat what I wish so one day that could be more...but generally it is very much like the 5/2 diet.

I have always had an interest in food and their properties healthwise so I probably could answer most questions on homemade remedies/cures for most ailmentments/conditions. The vitamin and mineral qualities of most vegetables and fruits, what they do and always found books on such topics worth a read.

Now there are so many good websites I can access.

If money allows and I am careful I think I will attend more of these festivals/markets. The problem is that most successful ones are difficult to reach via public transport, not many are really local.

I hear the one approx 7 miles away may fold...is not well attended.

The nearest is 12 miles away and the furthest seems to be 66 miles away and depending on the day they are held, it could also affect which one you can attend.

Just before I leave, THURSDAY in the DAILY MIRROR £5 voucher for @ldi. Valid for a week, so if you shop on a Thursday you could in effect use 2.... one this week and then one the following.

MrsLW the pictures were wonderful.
Pleased the primrose has survived its close call, hopefully He Who Knows will miss it next time.

not a new page if you have it set to show 40 posts per page!

Tried the fixed width but don't like it as much. But CBA to set the number of posts to 20, so I'll just wait until we get to a new page. Not a problem

What would be really helpful would be if the MSE tech team could have a sticky somewhereabout posting photos so they are small. There is a way of doing it but I can never remember

Pops, anniversaries are difficult, but I found they got a lot easier with time. Now I tend not to think too much of my parents/friends on the day of their passing, but I remember them with flowers in the house on their birthdays.
It's a much nicer way of doing things, it celebrates life rather than marking death.
