Goodnight & Godbless
May 13, 2008 by Alison
I think reality that my Nanna died hit me today reading all her obituaries in the Liverpool Echo, I know it’s a big family but I always seem to forget that. Whilst I can read them online it would be nice to have a copy of the paper, comes in handy having Jackie work in Liverpool, she’ll buy a copy for me to pick up when I see her at the weekend. I think her death hit my mum today which took me by surprise, we where in our local florist this morning choosing some flowers for the funeral to take with us on Friday when the smell from the flowers hit mum and she suddenly realised she was dead, I suppose in a way it made her remember her own mother. We opted for a big bouquet of orange and white Lilly’s since they where her favourite according to Dad.
Well I had my hair done today, I am a lighter colour now - kind of a golden blonde and it’s shorter, so much easier to manage I feel half human again! Had quite a laugh in the hairdressers reminiscing about my old school days after discovering the girl who does my hair was at the same school as me, she’s only two years younger! We had the same form tutor for the last two years, as I left she got him for her final two years… small world!
As for my mood I am in the normal range, neither depressed or overly happy and am functioning normal which pleases me somewhat. I have vowed not to buy anything excessive and to curb my crazy spending so I am allowing myself one purchase of this which is released tomorrow - although a little birdie already sent it to me earlier 
I cannot wait to listen as it was and still is one of my favourite albums 11 years after it was first released, only this time round it comes with lots of extras! We fans will buy anything to keep Per in his collection of cars!
So yeah I am feeling okay today, much brighter and slept well again last night although still waking early. Again I just want to thank you all for the support you have given me over the past few days, here’s hoping this mood lasts a good week or two. I have to go into town tomorrow - something I am not looking forward to as I hardly ever go in now but I have to get something to wear for Friday.
Good to hear your mood remains up. Enjoy your shopping trip!
A haircut sometimes does us the world of good, and a shopping trip comes, for me, a close second. The shops are full of nice things at the moment, so I hope you find something that you like, and that will multi-task once the weekend’s past!
Glad you are feeling more together.
I want to see a picture of the hair ‘do’!
I am not brave enough for pictures, I feel and look like crap and am even worse since the entire contents of my make up bag was thrown across the bedroom in my fit of anger last week… I’ll email you one Janey!
Cat - I’ll give you the money and you can go shop for me!
Claudia - Thanks, I promise to answer that email soon…
Have good shopping trip and really pleased you are feeling a little happier….amazing what sleep can do..xx
Oh so sorry to read about your nanna passing away…so sad!
Will we see pics of your hair?
Thanks for your kind comment.
I have to say my tail bone hurts more than my arm. It has been a week since my fall and my bone is still as sore as anything and that bruise pic was just taken yesterday, still there after a week also.
I had to go to the drs because something isn’t right what with these accidents and not feelig 100% but at least I have a diagnoses of stress and that is sort of a relief to know because we start and wonder all sorts of things dont we? The blood tests will maybe reveal as to why I am feeling stressed, personally I think it is just life that has got me stressed and those HORRIBLE neighbours!!!!
Yep, peeled grapes do only happen in films…..nice thought though. I wish I could relax but I still have had to get kids to school etc but my hubby and the boys have been rather good where they can.
Well, I am attempting to stay on track, might be a good idea ready for the next fall, at least then I shouldn’t have as hard a fall because there will be less of me….teehee I can laugh about it a tad now…teehee
Thanks again hun
HUGE HUGS TO YOU XX

Linda, I am not brave enough to show pictures of my hair, I did once post photos anywhere but I think I am getting paranoid in my old age! I shall email one to you!
