HI Pam, I'm crying, go for it, what's 240, a couple of meals out and a hair cut. I still miss my mum like mad bless her. Mums are worth every penny just ask Bennie I'm sure he will agree. You will just have to cut down on the pork pies and rolo's to recoup the money back

Totally agree with you crispygirl - lost my mum 4 years ago in oct and i miss here more and more everyday - i thought it would get easier coz thats what everyone told me - what a load of tosh - it doesnt. GO FOR IT SAM.
Love Sam

I am going for it I just trying to get hold of other family members first to make arrangements once Im there

Your right Sam, you don't know what you've got until it's not there any more.

I often think "I'll just ring my mum and have a chat" then I think "oh, no phones where she is" so I have a walk around the garden and have a little chat with her there Many years ago she bought me a birdbath for the garden and I brought it to Spain with me, I love filling it with water everyday; I always think of my mum and I can see her face so clearly as I tip the water in. I'm sure all the little Spanish birds are thankful to her for buying it, otherwise they would not have somewhere to have a splash everyday that was out of reach from my very old and lazy cat who can not jump on to anything higher than a chair these days

The unhappy thread is turning into a happy thread ........... the power of love

ITS BOOKED!!

WELL DONE , HAVE A GOOD TIME

Good for you!!!!!

Enjoy your time with your mum and the rest of the family.

Glad to hear your all set to go, wishing you a safe journey and give you mum a big hug from all of us degenerates here at BE.XXX

Im really happy for you Sam - have a great time - i love my niece too - 22 and a stroppy cow but id walk over hot coals for her - shes hopefully moving into her new house tomorrow so should be a busy day.
Take care and have a safe journey back to sunny England - are you back in Rochdale or has the rest of your family miraculously escaped aswell.
Love Sam

Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh they are gorgeous, we found out yesterday that my O/H,s niece is pregnant, so there will be a new addition next March.....

I wont be seeing Rochdale this time thank God!! Mum lives in Whitefield and my dad lives in Nantwich so doing a night at each

Good news for you then Jean We had Hollie (the one on the left) every weekend from when she was 6 weeks old. When she was 2 my sister gave us a weeks custody and we took her abroad on a kids skytours holiday every year for 4 years.

Thats lovely,I know you did not have any kids,so it would of been really good for you to have adopted Holly for short periods,nice break for your sister to.
I have just noticed that you are going to Nantwich, so close and yet so far from us........you will know of a place called Biddulph ,thats where I come from.Are you coming over for just a couple of days..??
