My daughter told me not to make the beds up for them. Mary spoiled them she said. But I’ll do my best even if mine is last! I’ll do them in July so they’re nice and fresh from the drawer, which I’m doing completely differently to how Mary had things. I need to do things my own way now, so that it’s easy for me. For example each duvet cover has the matching pillow cases on top then another cover and cases and so on in the chest of drawers. I’m getting there but also getting tired.

Nigel, I feel you know we have said we all need a Nigel , well all that bedding, I’m having palpitations, I think you need a Lizzy, give me half an hour and I’d clear it all for you.
My husband had a friend who came to stay in Turkey, he was ex Navy, he brought a rucksack with him. One to wear, one for the washing and one a spare. I was amazed at how little he brought. He was the perfect guest, made his own breakfast, made his bed, I used to leave them to sit in the balcony at night with their whisky.
Well I’ve had two naps today, the sun was lovely today, best day yet. My grandson is in the pool with friends that he has been playing with and my daughter who can’t sit for more than five minutes, went a walk on the private beach, and guess what I was doing 
.
I also had to come in from our balcony later in the afternoon as it was too hot for me, read my book and
My daughter and grandson are away to the beach to play with a ball, no wonder they can sleep all night. We went to the old part of the town this morning, walked quite a bit, she wanted to go into the big supermarkets to look around, went into all the spice shops as well.
I have arranged to meet up with a few friends for a coffee tomorrow, they moved here a few years ago. It will only be for an hour, it will be quite sad as I don’t know when I will see them again.
I almost feel guilty being here without my husband, he should be here with me, all around are couples holding hands, he always went to the bar for drinks, now it’s me alone.
I can’t believe tomorrow is Monday already, where did the time go to?
I need to email my Turkish lawyer tomorrow as I’ve remembered a few things I’ve forgotten to tell him. Always something.
Glad you are all keeping busy busy, it’s the best way to get through this horrible time we are going through.
Take care everyone

yes,i guess so,its a “loosing a partner"chat group,i dont think there has been much chat recently. i picked up on it as it was exactly how i felt"things are getting worse,not better” luckily,now 6 months since my husband died,a combo of being on that site,not feeling alone, with my feelings, and some sunshine,i dont feel as bad most of the time. the roller coaster doesnt feel as crazy. i hope you find help/friendship on sue ryder,this chat group in particular always sounds quite upbeat,thats what we all need.

Nigel what are you going to do with all those duvets? Will you bring some home or just throw them?
Lizzy the naps will do you good. I have slept well the last two nights but still feeling very tired. My eye keeps twitching so its not in my head. It sounds like you are enjoying your holiday, even through the sadness. Its hard making memories without them. Don’t feel guilty, no one would be happier then your husband to see you smile.
Georgi it sounds like you have a good relationship with your grandchildren. A size 14 is not large. Don’t be so hard on yourself. My weight never seems to change although my body shape has. I am a little thicker around the waist these days but a bit slimmer on the hips. Thats old age.
I too dislike Sundays. I took some stuff to the charity shop, dropped off a parcel, popped round my sons to return something I borrowed. I had a walk, read my book and did some gardening. However the sadness still keeps creeping in no matter how busy you make yourself.
I plan to be very brave this Friday and drive to my sons again for the weekend. Telling myself I have done it once and I can do it again, but guess what? They have closed the road again for 3 weeks. Why me? Don’t they know I don’t need this. I would dearly like to take myself on holiday at some point. A cottage in the peak district wouldn’t be too far. But I have to be braver at driving and I will only achieve that if I practise. So I will go, but I won’t like it. Weather isn’t looking great either. Typical.
Dinner to cook. I have a jar of Honey & Mustard sauce and some chicken. A potato that is past its best and some carrots that also need eating up. Put like that it doesn’t sound that great.

Woke at 7am all bright eyed and bushy tailed. Had a cup of coffee, sat to watch the news, fell asleep again and woke at 10:30. Being around people is exhausting for me. Some thrive on social activity and get energized, I get drained like a battery and have to recharge.
I am making a list of everything I need to do, not just for one day, so I can organize my time. Tomorrow, the house transfer happens. Wednesday to the dentist and Thursday to the hair salon. The last cut and color have not cooperated at all. My hair has been a mess and has never looked right -unmanageable. I have a lot of hair, but it has a mind of its own and tends to prefer WILD and CRAZY. Not a good look.
Still tired. It will be a while before I do three days of activity again.
Let’s all have a day. Decide that it is a good day and get on with that.
Love to all.

Debsie, get a week booked in Edinburgh and fly or train, I will keep you company, I might even walk with you I’ve never done as many steps as today, my kids are killing me.
Do they wait for us having the courage to drive then shut the roads? I really don’t do diversions, that makes me panic and cry.
Well done for thinking about driving. We are getting there xxx

Lizzy, I’ve just cleared up and stopped for the day. I’ve done nearly 7 hours.
I know, the amount of bedding, pillows and linen is crazy, and should have been sorted last November. That was Mary’s task while I did the shower room. So now I need to do both jobs! I’ll never be bored that’s for sure. We brought all the mobile home stuff and that’s why there are so many quilts and there are probably about 40 pillows from there too. As you’ll remember from home, Mary liked her linen, and there must have been 50 pillow cases and a dozen ‘V’ pillow cases as well. We kept it all as there were times when little grandchildren were still bed wetting, so we’d often have to change and wash at least one set of the bedding every day. We are well past that stage now. I’m hoping to have some ‘me’ time in August but that just means sorting all that lot out. I definitely need a Lizzy! I don’t have time to sort or take home stuff now as the shower room comes first.
At least I have my bed back!
Better get the dinner heated up - I’m starving after all that exercise!
Have a nice evening and sleep well Lizzy.

Barbarap,
I am finding it so hard being here without my husband, there is just something missing, especially as I keep thinking the last time we were here. I am just so glad my daughter came with me, I couldn’t have done this without her. Xxx
