Wow Dawn, I've just read right through your diary having finally noticed the link from Gail's, (I'm computer illiterate ).
What an amazing woman you are, I am so sorry that you have had such a hard time lately. Your Dad sounds a much loved man, I hope the rawness of losing him lessens for you all soon and just the good memories remain. I don't think there can be many families who haven't been touched by cancer...mine has too.
I love the before and after pictures you posted, you really are an inspiration to me and being able to carry on during all your recent turmoil makes me quite ashamed when I can (and do) use any excuse to drift away from SW.
I hope you all have a wonderful, relaxing holiday and that it doesn't rain too much! Have a great time with Gail and Jules when you meet, it'll be such fun.

Aww Bess, thankyou for such a lovely comment xxx
I won't deny it's been a very traumatic few months, even though we knew it was coming :'( I can't believe what a hole is left behind when a parent dies, and how long its going to take to heal.
As for the diet, I'm wondering now if the reason I managed to stick to it is because it gave me something else to focus on and kept me busy when we weren't with Dad. We all felt so damn helpless watching him slip away. Also, and I know I've said it before but I don't care, the ladies here are totally amazing and kept me company in the small hours when I couldn't sleep, comforted me when I was down, and motivated me when I needed it. A more selfless, friendly bunch you will never meet and I luv em all, even if we do take the mick out of eachother!
Thanks for reading my diary Bess...when I started it I was really scared no one would be interested and I'd be the only one on it, but I'm sure you'll agree I'm very lucky to have this mad lot leaving lovely, funny, and very often abusive comments lol! And I've even been fortunate enough (dont tell her I said this) to meet JimofTroy as we work at the same hospital and have the same sw consultant! And I'm sooo looking forward to meeting up with Gail and Jules!
Anyway, you've got me rambling on now so I'll shut up and go shopping! The weather here is wet as usual but who cares lol!
Take care,
Dawn xxx

So glad you're in such a lovely place and can relax by the river. Don't worry about the weather, you have your own brand of sunshine that will follow you everywhere.
Oh, and do NOT drink too much wine and fall off that lovely balcony!
Love Pomooky XX

Not quite normal
Did I hear my name being taken in vain?
Have you taken the aviary with you, Dawn, or have you left all your feathered friends behind?
Hope you have a great time, anyway. Try not to miss this place too much...
