RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2012 What were you doing up at silly o'clock? My "out of sink" was due to attending a surprise birthday party for our neighbour. I don't know if it is an age related thing but I get indigestion if I eat late and can't lie down. Using the netbook to see who is on RMweb requires less light than reading a book! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RMweb Gold The Stationmaster Posted January 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2012 I have spent most of the last three days at hospital, supporting SWMBO as we wait for MIL to take her final journey. She isn't half dragging her heels, as is her wont. You have me deepest sympathy, I went though that with both of my parents and it can be very wearing - apart from the obvious trauma- for those who are waiting. And it can go on an awful long time and you daren't leave 'just in case'. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted January 8, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 8, 2012 as we wait for MIL to take her final journey. She isn't half dragging her heels, as is her wont. If it is inevitable, then all we can hope for is that it is quick and painless. Don't forget your cyber mates are all here if you need them if the going gets difficult - I've been there a time or two, and found that fellow RMWebbers/ERs are an amazingly supportive bunch. Afternoon All Dreich, dreich, dreich. Spent most of the morning sorting out paperwork - I think that paperwork seems to increase with the square of your age - I seem to have more now than I ever did before, even with more modern tools available - but then I treat online stuff as "paperwork" as well. Gordon I got a copy of Top Shed in a job lot of second hand books a few months ago, and it is a good read. Yesterday, I picked up a couple of modelling books second hand, and the previous owner of the books was my neighbour's dad! I never even knew he was into modelling - but then it took a while before I discovered that Ohmisterporter and I live in the same road! Anyway Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
gordon s Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 It's a tough time for everyone concerned BoD and having gone through twice in the last few years, my thoughts are with you, your family and your wife in particular. Girls always seem so much closer to their mothers, so the loss is always hard to bear for them. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
trisonic Posted January 8, 2012 Share Posted January 8, 2012 My Father died very suddenly, literally in front of my friend, a Policeman who's beat was Shenfield. My Mother lingered a little in her turn but not long - she had AML. In the months before her death though she managed to accuse just about every member of our family of something heinous - I will not go into family details but she accused one neighbour of going out at night and running a her hose over one of my Mother's walls and the other neighbour of secretly putting poison on her box hedge between the houses. It is very unfortunate because these are the things people remember about her instead of the long time when she was your usual loving Mother... Best, Pete.

RMweb Gold BoD Posted January 8, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 8, 2012 Thanks for all of the kind thoughts and good wishes. MiL left us this afternoon. Don't forget your cyber mates are all here if you need them Over the last two and a half months and particularly over the last few days, AndyY's RMweb and you lot, via my iPhone, have helped me through some of the long hours at hospital. So whether you realised you were doing it or not, thanks to my 'cyber mates' for just being there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium NGT6 1315 Posted January 9, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2012 Morning all. Back to uni today, for which reason I'll have to adapt to getting up earlier once again. However, term break will begin in about one month, thankfully. Other than that, there's nothing much to report as of yet. Have a good one, if at all possible on a Monday...

Robert Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Morning All, Rather a dreary morning around here today - it is unseasonably warm and rather damp. Sorry to hear your news BoD - thinking of you and your family. Congratulations on your wedding anniversary Stewart. I didn't get on over the weekend, there were rather too many other things going on. We went down to Stuttgart on Saturday to see the musical Rebecca which was incredible. Unfortunately, the London premiere has been canceled. Oh well - time for a coffee. Have a good day everyone...

RMweb Gold Tony_S Posted January 9, 2012 RMweb Gold Share Posted January 9, 2012 Morning all.Rather dull here today. My list consists of some shopping and getting ready to take Matthew to Leicester tomorrow. He has sorted out his packing so there isn't much to do.

RMweb Premium 45156 Posted January 9, 2012 RMweb Premium Share Posted January 9, 2012 Morning All Firstly, may I add a "me too" to the condolenced being offered BoD - it's never easy when a loved one goes, regardless of whether it's expected or not, and also it doesn't help much for those left that on some occasions it is for the best as it ends a period of suffering. Many of us ERs are of an age, and seem to see the passing of relatives and friends on a more and more frequent basis. And as I said, we are here and hopefully can offer support. In fact, that's about it, so Regards to All Stewart Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Western Stalwart Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Sorry to hear your sad news BoD. My condolences to yourself, wife and family at this sad time. Mark Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
