I am not bossy I just have better ideas:p0 -
Aww Tiglet
Just caught up. I was hoping I wouldnt read what I just have and am so very sorry to hear your news but how strong and determined does your Mum sound ???? :T :T Go Tiglet's Mum :T :T Thats certainly something to fight for - to see her grandchildren grow up. Carry on the fight!!!!!!!!!
Sending you a massive cuddle and you know that I know how hard it is ITMS so if you ever need a chat, Snags has got my e-mail address and she can give it to you. If I dont get back to you straight away, its probaby because I'm at hosp but will e-mail you back as soon as you can. Even if you just need to swear at someone - thats ok, I'm getting a dab hand at it now :rotfl:
I'm also getting a dab hand at prayers now (even though I am not all religious (sp?) ) so will be sure to include you and your Mum in them now.
Take care hunny and love to your Mum and big cuddle and love for you xxxxx0 -

That's a really nice thought tigtag...
I can see she was loved very dearly. xBlackadder: Am I jumping the gun, Baldrick, or are the words 'I have a cunning plan' marching with ill-deserved confidence in the direction of this conversation?
Still lurking around with a hope of some salvation:cool:0 -
WOW ~ £190 already, I am so proud of my mum, her friends and my friends

On a totally seperate note I need your help:
Little Legs has been invited to a superhero party of which you can invent your own superhero. She wants to go as Ice-Woman (
), any ideas for a costume?
On a money note I have paid off two small debts this month so all we have left is the OD :T
BUT
I have had to increase that for flowers, suits, etc and the estimate for the funeral came in today at £3500 :eek::eek:
Also would like to thank you all again for your support.:heartpuls baby no3 due 16th November :heartpulsTEAM YELLOWDFD 16/6/10"Shut your gob! Or I'll come round your houses and stamp on all your toys" The ONE, the ONLY, the LEGENDARY Gene Hunt :heart2:0 -
Hi Tig, I shall make a donation as soon as I can. Glad your holding up well. I'm sure your mother will get a wonderful send off and I bet loads of her colleagues will be there.
