Todays News from Gill:

December Dues and Blues

Regular readers of this daily news blog will realise that suddenly the news stopped on the 28th November, and that is because my Mum sadly and suddenly passed away on the 29th November, so I have been with my Dad since then.

I am now back at home and at my PC but inspiration has temporarily left me and I have decided to take a break for December and start the new year afresh and hopefully with a little more enthusiasm.

My Mum was only 78 and went downhill and died very suddenly and although she started life very poor, I know that for the last few years she has everything that her heart desired, both financially and emotionally. She reached her 60th Wedding anniversairy last April and did loads of special things this year - she even had her very first manicure and pedicure last month.

So a sad time for my Dad, me, my two brothers and all her family and friends  but the good thing was that I was able to drop everything and be with her at the end and to be with my Dad since then - and that's because I don't have a job and have enough money to do as I please - and never have I appreciated that freedom more than I do today.

So I wish you health, wealth and happiness - and I will be back with you bright and breezy in 2009.
