    Oh Jackie. I've just arrived back home from my interview to see the terrible news. I'm so sorry to hear and I know you were wanting to see him soon too. I hope you're feeling well enough to attend the funeral.

    My interview went well...I think. Time will tell. Sounds like I'll really like the job so I really hope I get it. As always, I'll update you all.

    Dear Jackie I am truly saddened to read of the loss of your beloved big brother . Take comfort from his peaceful and painless passing with his son at his side . Love to yourself and all his loved ones .
    Seventy plus years makes for lots of memories and I hope in time to come those memories will serve you well . I imagine you were very alike . The words " He hadn't a bad bone in his body " would be how I would describe you .
    Sending you gentle hugs and strength .
    Goodnight and God bless Jackie .
    Rest in peace Davie .

    Very late today .
    AOD I hope today went well and thank you for your post last night . Hester A good rant can be helpful at times . No one in the family has bipolar but we know two people who do . It can be a nightmare for both the person and those who love them and you are one strong lady to be doing all that you do . I think many on here have met with ignorance , stupidity and downright nastiness which is uncalled for and both hurtful and unhelpful . My mum used to say " we are all of us born and none of us buried " which I think was one of her many Irish sayings and it is true none of know what our future is and I think a lot of people never realise they could be the next person to be the target of these comments .
    Keep on keeping on love . I am in awe of 100 items a week !!!
    NMLC Sounds like a good day yesterday at the hospital yesterday and I hope sons birthday went well .
    Judi Hoping the sleep fairy visits you soon and you get some proper rest . Loving the " Know All " and " Letch " names . Gotta keep the sense of humour !!
    Snoozer I hope you got your walk and the cold and sore throat depart quickly .
    Elaine Sending healing vibes to your daughter and good luck for her AS exams .
    TA I hope the blood results are good and your husband is ok for The Royal . It seems like no time since your last visit . I think a lot of us are getting older but you need to factor in the stress you are under and the juggling it takes to keep everything running to plan . Look after yourself and have a hug x
    Sending hugs to any in need .
    I confess I am very tired after a long day and have noticed some mistakes in this post but haven't the energy to correct .
    Take care all see you tomorrow .
    polly
