Extending our house without extending ourselves beyond our means

Very sad news. Such a brave lady. RIP.

This is such a tragedy, purps was such a lovely kind soul and was very kind to me through the years I knew her through the small things thread and sometimes IRL. Her husband wrote a very poignant message on the page set up for donations to a charity that supports people with cancer in their area, instead of flowers - ever the mse girl at heart! He said 18 years wasn't enough but he would have taken 18 months, weeks or even days to have known her. I'm glad for having known her and we did, daily for years. It wasn't enough but I am happy for having met her and felt her solidarity at various points of need over the years.

What a beautiful post @determined_new_ms and I echo your words - Purps was one of the best people I have never met, truly lovely, supportive and gave great advice.  Despite all she was going through she had the ability to shine and make everyones days feel that little bit brighter, she "lifted" many of us on the "small things" and will be greatly missed.

There really aren't any words for this, and I am quite heartbroken by the news. Sending all my love to the family and friends that are coming to terms with her loss.

So sad to read this. Again Purps was so kind to me on here - I will miss her. Thinking of her family at this sad sad time x

I haven’t been posting a for a while and very belatedly came on today to wish PF a Happy New Year and read the recent posts. It’s shocking and terrible. I feel like I have lost a friend. She pushed me to exercise, to make good decisions and choices and made me feel supported. I feel so for her young family and OH too. 

Whilst it can never get easier I do hope that if you read these messages you know she’ll be missed, remembered and above all, was valued for all the support she gave us.

Much  love, Brizzle x
