Very sad at the moment

Hi guys, I just wanted to share with you that at the moment this forum is my life-saver, keeping my mind occupied and my hands busy. On Monday I lost my beautiful Mum after a short illness. She was always so excited to hear what I have won lately and she was always happy to take any unwanted prizes for a raffle, tombola or charity auction for one of her many causes. She was such a busy lady volunteering here there and everywhere, and together we felt we made a difference with my comping. I guess now all my unwanted prizes will be going to the Hospice where my sister is a staff nurse.

I just wanted to say thanks for keeping me sane.

Huge respect to all those who take the time to post competitions. You're all great! :T
