It's been 'a bit mad' over the last few days since my Mum-in-Law died.

I can't seem to say the words to people without tearing up.....but I guess that will stop altogether and we can think about her sitting in her normal place on the left hand side of the sofa (right hand if you're actually sitting on it) with a cigarette in one hand and a glass of red wine in the other with a couple of sleepy dogs at her feet.

Tuesday will be the funeral and I think we're in for a sad weepy time but I think we all want to have one of those 'celebrate her life' type of things so there will be bright flowers and her fav music playing and I *think* wearing black is NOT an option.

Now for the Roundabout - my lovely sister phoned me today to see how we were doing and......well......she's expecting her first baby, and my parents first grand-child!!!!!!!!!

Now, I'm suppose to keep this a secret until she tells the folks after Christmas.....but, well I JUST CANT HELP MYSELF!!!! And you'll all keep schtum.....won't you.....?????????????
