    Di. So sorry to hear about your dad, he was a lovely man who I still remember given some memories I forget: RIP
    Thank you, he was lovely and liked by all, we're starting to panic a bit aboutvthe catering for the funeral. My mum hascgot over 50 cards :eek: we thought catering for 70 would be enough but now we're not sure.

    TM I am so sorry for your loss, they say these things come in threes, let's hope this is the elites three now.

    Morning all!

    Sorry to hear your news TM, thinking of you and yours.

    A little bit white here but noticeably chilly even indoors! I treated us and put the fire on to warm things up a bit.

    I'm feeling grateful today for everything I have. It's a lovely bright winters morning, I have a wonderful husband and family, it's getting closer to Christmas, which I love, and I don't really need to buy anything new, (other than an upstairs loo!).

    This time last year was very different, after doing a horrible job for 3 months which made me incredibly depressed and then having to job hunt in an uncertain market for another 2 months, I'm feeling very appreciative for how much better things are, 12 months on. I'm also very grateful for the Elite family, as the glitches and bargains kept my cupboards and fridge full and kept my spirits up through a dark time in my life. So thank you, one and all! :):T:beer:
    Arthien, that's lovely to hear, none of us know what is around the next corner and I try to remain grateful for everyday I am alive.

    Morning all. After spending all day in a&e a bed was finally found for MIL last night. She was supposed to have surgery yesterday evening but this has now been postponed until sometime today. It’s unlikely she will be able to attend FIL’s funeral :(

    HG it never rains but it pours, does it :(
