Crazy ~ That is excellent news I have been thinking of you today.
Lovely to see your son stepped up to the plate and did his bit to help you.
((Hugs))
And regarding my mum yes it does get easier to accept it is just hard to believe it has been 10 years since she died. It just doesn't seem that long kwim?

Yes I do know what you mean. It is 4 weeks tomorrow and it seems like yesterday but seems like forever.

Jacks how exhausted you must be, both physically and emotionally. I'm so pleased Master James and your brother supported and helped you with what must have been the longest day.
I love that you have the bluebird above your bed. โฅโฅโฅ
Rest today I hope. :-x

Remember when I impulsively bought a bright red coat and thought "what was I thinking!"? I wore it to work the other day and received so many compliments! Everyone said how the colour suited me. It's been a long long time since I've received a compliment. It made me feel good about myself.
So this week I bought myself a black maxi dress and a long length bright red almost see through fabric overshirt to wear with it (to hide my big fat butt).
It's almost motivated me to lose my "chocolate is my new lover" blubber. Almost. :^O

It's so lovely to receive compliments. Doesn't it just make you feel so good? I'm happy for you Cat.
I was going through some of mums papers yesterday. I didn't have time to go through them at the house so I was just packing up everything.
I pulled out a note from the top of the pile. It was a handwritten note from mum. Which she wrote to find after she passed. The first line reads, "If I am gone (hopefully to heaven)..."
We also found a song she wrote for me among her music books. (I almost didn't take them).
I'm exhausted but having a great time finding HER everywhere.
Hoping everyone is having a fab day :-x

Jacks your mum is everywhere, keeping an eye on you and feeling very very proud! I know I would be if I was your mum. :-x

Hello everyone ~~~
Jacks, I am so pleased that the day went as well as it did. It could have been so different.
Did you get that gush of wind through the house?
MsCat, we knew that the red coat would look wonderful on you.
Is it this weekend that Blacksheepy goes blonde or is it someone else?
I am wondering what it looks like.
We have had such gorgeous weather in Sydney this weekend. couldn't ask for anything nicer at this time of year. Cool at nights though.
I hope everyone is well.
Higs and hugs to all and especially MIA :-x

*Cat waves to Mrs Braff* โฅ
I would think Blacksheepy is blonde by now! I wish she'd come in and tell us.
I'm blonde now too ... well kind of. The colour on the box said 'dark ash blonde'. It looks like a really light brown to me. :^O
Has Sydney had sunshine? We Melbournians are still waiting *sigh*.
