Hello Anne .You are not butting in.You are welcome to join in.You are right in what you say.My Mum passed away nearly six years ago ,and my Dad in 1987.
I don't cry when I think of them now ,just have a smile and a laugh when I remember the funny and happy times.They were very special to me because they adopted me.
It is awful when we lose parents,but sadly it's all part of life.
Thanks for joining us .If you have any childhood memories to add here please do.

Hello Anne,your very welcome to join in, we chat about all sorts on here .

Yes Anne please post some more.

There are three of us on this thread that have lost parents last year.

Still think that jumper would look better on Chester!!!!!! now.

Casserole was very nice Mandy.I just can't believe it was cooking for 10 hours !!!! and turned out fine.
I.m looking at the jumper ,and Chester !!!!! I doubt he would keep still long enough for me to get it on him lol

Morning Mel
Here it is very cold and it was quite slippery earlier.I see the bird bath has defrosted a bit now so it must be warming up even if it doesn't feel like it .The sky is looking kind of snowy but we aren't forecast anything.
I don't think I shall going out anywhere today,maybe just to get the paper later.
Coffee time now before I get on with things.BBL

Morning everyone.
Gray & dull day here, but no more snow ,
Daughter no 2 left for Galashiels this morning for her exam, say's she'll ring when it's over, fingers crossed.

off to SOLICITORS (thank goodness for dictonary's) at 12, hopefully all will go well,

then paying a visit to the care home to collect the last of dad's belongings, I want to return the new clothes they bought him as a christmas present , I am sure they can be of some use to one of the other elderly residents there,
the rest I will probably take to one of the charity shops in town. they are all in good condition as everytime an occasion like birthdays, fathers day's came up we bought him clothes.

Welcome Anne.
Yes I have many happy memories of when my mum was alive and well.
and ofcourse through family history lots of stories from other relatives about her. thanks for your kind words.

JANE , mum has been gone 11 years she died 31st December 1999,
So now unfortunatly with dad dying Christmas morning, the festive season will always bring a ting of sadness to our family, but I look on little Sofia to give us lots of fun now, and hopefully in the future who know's I might have other grandchildren to keep me busy.

WOW sorry I had to laugh a little when I saw the pic of James's jumper, I don't often shrink things in the washing machine but have learnt the lesson the hard way of being careful not to mix coloureds with whites.
Now the tumble dryer is different, I have often put in tops, T shirts , Socks and they have shrunk, I aways make sure to read the care labels now,

catch up later today.

Zoro !!! now what made me think of that?

11.20

Does anyone know how Maureen is, ?

I think Jane rings her sometimes. She'll know!

11.38

Have only just rung the places that we had some things for mum from, for them to come and collect. They were put behind the fireplace in our lounge and forgotton about. then today I was doing a bit of clearing up and found them. Rang straight away and they are coming Wednesday between 9am and 3pm. Could'nt ring while we had the snow and it stayed around for so long. Our drive is downhill!!!

Morning all,

Had a phone call this morning from the Hospital. New appointment 18th Febuary, so Ros is a little happier (ONLY A LITTLE !!!!)

Cold frosty morning today, not going out so it can do what it wants.

Afternoon All,

Maureen contacted me just before xmas to say she was having trouble with her computer. She could just about read her e-mails before it packed up each time she said. She reckoned that after xmas she was getting a new one and would be back. She has emailed me since xmas when I let her know about Shirl. Maybe she is still sorting it all out and deciding what to get.

OH is taking me to the cinema AGAIN......I am about cinemaaaad out! Seeing 127 hours this time........a bit gory I expect. I told him all this 'sitting' won't shift the xmas pud!! lol
