  • Hi IA

    Sorry to hear about your Mum. It is now nearly 21 years since my Mum died – which means I have been without her long than I was with her. That feels really odd.

    Hugs to you :grouphug:

    P.S. when my ds, now 22, was a toddler, if he farted he used to say he'd 'done a carrot'. Don't know where he got that from !

    Today must feel really strange for you, I can't begin to imagine what it must be like for you. But I am sure that your mum would be really proud of the way you are coping and everything you are doing for your own girls. Strange that your cheque would arrive today as well, what a funny world we live in.

    Your hair looks fab, and your carrotts look scrummy. Have a peaceful day and enjoy Blackpool xxx

  • You're hair looks great, I gave up on paying £60 just for it to be coloured and now do it myself for £6, still cost £40 for a cut though.

    Sorry to hear about your mum too, don't really know what else to say.

    The pic of K is hilarious though, she looks so cute!

    Sar,

    I LOVE your hair - dont fancy doing mine do ya hun :p

    My mum died 11 years ago, my dad 21 years ago (they died on the same day 10 years apart) and there isnt a day goes by that I dont think about them.

    My dad would've been 60 this week. He was 38 when he died - my age now.

    I promise things do get easier, but it never goes away completely.

    Anyway, when are you free to do my hair? I fancy purple :D
    Is it better to aim for the stars and hit a tree or aim for a tree and land in its branches :think:

    Ste went through dial a phone.. £60 cashback through quidco... free phone... £70 cashback from dial a phone, free nintendo wii and wii sports game, 400 mins and 500 texts for £30 a month on o2. 18 month contract but considering all the freebies you're getting it's worth it! Also if you do decide to go with them get Ste to refer you and we'll split the £20 referral with you... :)

    Could I keep my existing number?

    I am sure your mum is watching over you and yours.

    :grouphug:IA - thinking of you today

    I love the hair IA and the carrots - very impressed - never died my hair before or had it dyed - I wouldn't know where to start! (and K's face is a picture too :D).

    Take care x
