    Today has sucked big ones. And whilst it could be so much worse and I should cheer up look on the bright side and think positively I am tonight taking the option to eat chocolate and drink tea.

    I will be positive tomorrow.

    Feeling very sad tonight. Heard the news about Taxi today. Don't really believe it.

    I came home and essentially was so tired out by everything that I went to bed for an hour.

    I can't sit here and think. I am going to go do something.

    Love to you all. This place.........means everything to me somedays.

    Hi Buffy - thanks for your PM. Like you I'm totally gutted about Taxi. So so sad even though we didn't know her in real life. Can't believe it - and if Beanie is lost for words then there's no hope!

    Big hugs fromSAxxx

    Hi guys.

    Horrible day...I can only empathise with what Taxi's family must be feeling. There will be such a gap in their lives.

    Beanie, lovely people like you have been so concerned on how the news will impact me and SA. Can only answer for me to say it's brought it all into much greater focus and bizarrely, as I never met Taxi in RL, it all seems so much more real.

    I keep thinking about JJ and how much she loved him and how I hope she and her daughter had an opportunity to reconcile. It's a salutary reminder to me to make sure these things are in place as we don 't know (any of us) how long we have.

    SB got extra hug tonight :)

    KJ xx
