Well Iām glad I made you giggle Jenny, as I know for sure they are far and few between these days, I actually laughed at something in the car this week, an out loud laugh and I remember thinking god thatās strange.
We are just so used to being sad, we forgot about the little things in life like laughing, how sad is that.
Itās Tesco for me now, for my Ā£25 weekly shop, which used to be Ā£140 when mike was home, so I donāt miss spending that I must admit.
I hope you get to do something today.
I know the feeling of plenty to do but canāt be bothered to do any of it, thatās me anyway.

I think Iāll take a little extra time, thank you for that.
And yes I agree thank you all for the chats this morning, I was very emotional when I woke up, but now I feel a lot better.
So thank you all

Hi carol
Just reading down the posts on here and when I read that you were going to Tesco I thought how can that be when the shops are closed today. Then further down came across your post saying you went and it was closed. It gave me a chuckle which was much needed.
I keep losing my car in car parks and wander around feeling stupid looking for it. Now I make sure I take more notice where I park it.
Grief brain is indeed a thing.

Well Iām very Happy that Iāve given you a giggle, As I know there are rare, well for me anyway.
I was frantically looking for the remote control earlier,
I knew it was on the bed as I literally just had itā¦. Throwing the pillows/mikes scarf /books around, and nope nowhere to be seen.
But I failed to look in my other hand, and there it was
Honestly I really donāt know what is going on in my brain.
Yes giggles are rare arenāt they.
A couple of weeks ago I couldnāt find the garage keys I knew Iād had them a few days earlier.I looked everywhere in all my pockets etc. A few days later I put my fleece on and found them in the pocket 
We could write a book about all these things

Hello, yes, itās my first Easter too. We always bought a gigantic chocolate egg and shared it but I couldnāt get one just for myself, however, after winning a singing competition, (God alone knows how I did it,) won a massive Easter egg! A friend who is a medium told me that my late husband sent it to me! I liked that.
I send love and cwtches ( Welsh hugs ) to you. Youāve got this, you are stronger than you think.

How are you Devonguy x
Dear Kimmelou
Your comments had me in tears, but these days it doesnāt take much. My hubby/soul mate of almost 50 years passed on 13 march. It seems like yesterday, vivid visions of the horrific way he died. He was one of the good guys and deserved a peaceful end.
Someone said to me yesterday that people will soon get fed up of me talking about him and that has upset me so much.
I hope that that we both find peace at some point as Iām sure we cannot cope with this level of pain.
I sincerely wish you whatever you wish yourself my lovely.
Take care
Karenā:hugs:
