I am at home. Went shopping earlier with my dad. Bought a suit and got a haircut. Came home and spent about an hour at the bedside of my grandfather until he passed away. It's been only an hour. It's still very raw. Lots of people cried but there was no emotion from me. I think I feel some comfort in the fact that I was there with him in his final moments and that he went peacefully at home like he wanted. I've just had a friend ring me so I know I've loads of support but for now I don't know what to do.

So sorry for you shpud,

Happy birthday Northgirl.. Hope it was a great day. I've no tea left in my cup to toast you, ffs, maybe i'll pour a drink instead.. (or get Mr cbyrd to pour it that way I won't have to leave the couch..)
Watching movie number 3 for today, jesus, you'd swear I hadn't a child to be minding today

I was watching sixth sense earlier with Elliot and the 4 and 9 year old came in and watched it too.. Wonder what time the nightmares will start.. Then it was cinderella and now leap year. I want a burger..

I remember I had a weed muffin in Amsterdam one time. I was told only to eat half of it, of course being the heifer I am I horsed the whole thing down me. I was stoned for 24 hours and couldn't do a thing

This was my second time making this mistake, I had a brownie on a previous trip and managed to roofie myself

qo2cj1dsne8y4k · 12-01-2019 11:48pm

I can’t wait, I can’t smoke (my brother made me smoke years ago so much I vomited) so I’m going to be lashing into the space cakes hi go ding. I’ll be asking the slimming world one how many syns. “Well Lexie how was your trip” tasty Karen, won’t lie.

Grandeeod · 12-01-2019 11:52pm

Hey Northgirl. No need for self pity babe! Seriously it is so not worth it. I've been down that self pity road and it's a ****ty road full of potholes and ****. It can be so much better babes. Come out and shine bright darling!

I know Amsterdam very well, my big sis lives just outside the city. If its your firs ttime you'll probably stay in and around the red light djstruct but if you can,, a canal boat tour, Anne Frank house, Van Goigh or Rijksmuseum and the Heineken Brewery tour are all very good.

Aldo lots of great a tique and jewellry shops in Amsterdam.

I just got back from the pub and I beat 2 pool shark in a row. Utterly pleased with myself. I am quite good at pool but the pub I went to was 'their territory'. Which makes it all the more satisfying : )

I'm incapable of loving a man who earns less than €100k a year. Men who earn less are invisible to me.

Shpud2 · 13-01-2019 5:22am

I'm in bed, reading all your messages of sympathy and feeling very lucky to be part of such a caring group of people.

Been a weird evening since I last posted. I went to my grandmother's to talk to two of my cousins about it and how I felt but my younger siblings were there so we couldn't really talk about it until they left so we spent a good few hours just sort of laughing and joking which kinda cheered me up. It was only when I got home that it really sunk in and I'm still trying to process it but my phone has been blowing up with messages of support so at least I know I'm not alone. I'm just still so confused. I don't know how I'm going to handle the funeral

smurfjed · 13-01-2019 5:43am

@Shpud2, extremely sorry for your loss, but I'm happy that you were strong enough to get out of your previous predicament and be there to share his final moments, you have that strength inside you and have to build on it. We are here for you whatever your mood and feelings, please shout out to us as we will listen.

And what man earning over 100K would want a fat knacker?

Day 11, thats it, I'm off home, got two hops to do and then passenger home. Started my morning in the gym followed by breakfast of two bananas

La.de.da · 13-01-2019 5:48am

Bed. Still wide awake. Ate Skittles earlier, I believe the sugar is to blame.

Enjoy your home time smurf.

arybvtcw0eolkf · 13-01-2019 6:48am

Insomnia so I got up rather than toss & turn, that just stresses me out.

I've just finished a lovely bowl of porridge and now sitting playing with my cat, she's the funniest thing ever. Waiting for sun rise then I'll take a cycle, I'm thinking of doing Howth Head to catch the sunrise on the horizon.

GoneHome · 13-01-2019 7:49am

Up as well, but the cat has gone on a walkabout, time for tea, toast and cheese and I'll go get her then, she's somewhere in the garden

Graces7 · 13-01-2019 7:53am

In shock on hearing of a double family tragedy in Canada. Hardly see for tearsd. going for a long walk in the dark gale.

Hold your loved ones close.

Shpud2 · 13-01-2019 8:07am

Went for a walk to try clear my head. Couldn't get through to Pieta House and got cut off by Samaritans so not having the greatest of nights. Mind is still frazzled.

GoneHome · 13-01-2019 8:18am

Stove was still burning from last night when I got up so back in front of it now after my tea and toast, far too early to be up on a Sunday morning so heading back to bed shortly for a couple of hours.

Hope you're ok Grace, I got a shock myself yesterday hearing of the death of an acquaintance from a previous job, he died two weeks before Christmas but I only heard about it yesterday, admittedly he was living in the opposite side of the country to me but still it came as a major shock to me and I can't get it out of my head since

Sorry to hear of your loss shpud.
Be careful of yourself and trust in your family, usually closer at times like this.
The darkest hour is just before dawn as they say, I hope the sunrise brings some consolance.
