Hi Sandie, how sad hun and not the kind of phone call anyone like's making, good that you will be able to catch up with friend from Italy even though it is not under the best circumstances, will you be going to the funeral of your other friend's mum.

Diane

I've just read your post Linda - 94 is a good age but still sad. Your SIL is a good friend to have.

Yes Linda I agree:)

Whilst I know the family of my school mates mum, I used to stay with her on a Saturday night out, as I lived in the sticks, I know most of her family.

Maria's dad's funeral was last week, which I missed, but I only knew her immediate family, it will be good to meet up with her again after all these yrs:)

Sorry to hear about the deaths in your family:(

It's strange when you meet up with people you haven't seen for many years. I always think that the person is looking older and greyer and then I realise that I've aged too and they're probably thinking the same thing.

Do you all realise that we've got to and crept past the 25,000 posts.

Yes Di,
I will be going to my friends mum's funeral, they just to put me up most Saturday nights when I was 'courting 'hubby, and we used to go out with them for Xmas do's as she was a close friend of my mil.
Sad ,but life must go on.............

I was just thinking - a strange phenonomen for me:-)) I wouldn't like to be the last miner to get out but I'd wouldn't like to be the first either.

Who made that post Sue ?

Linda sorry to hear about OH's aunt and your SIL's best friend's mum.

Diane

They are sending some paramedics down Sue,so they will be the last out. They must be brave people to go down, in case they get stuck

Oh !

25,000 posts and no celebrations ...?

Congratulations Sue:))

Can't do balloons etc at such short notice.lol

Sandie.x

If i'd realised we were that close i would have been checking who made that 25,000 post !

I'm not sure if it was Linda or Berona, Diane.

OH wasn't close to this aunt, to be honest, he didn't like her all that much. I probably know more about her than he did because I did her family tree for her for her 90th birthday

Sue I have to admire the medic's who are going down as they are risking their live's to rescue the miner's, and they will be the last up as they are staying down there till the last miner is up. They said on the new's it will take about 15mins for each person to get to the surface.

Diane.

Congratulations Sue, I of course can't have any alcohol tonight in case Perse thinks I am an alcoholic lol

Congratulations to your thread Sue - did you envisage it would get this far when you started it in July 2009.
We have shared some good laughs, some problems, and some awfully sad times too.

I hope the thread goes for another 25,000 posts.

Tec.

We all think that Linda - you mustn't let it upset you:-))

Congratulation's Sue
Congratulation's to the ( For Aussies only ) Thread peep's

Diane

Tec - I didn't think this thread would last for more than a day or so. I put it up on impulse because I noticed a few Aussies spread around the boards and I thought it would be fun.

I feel privileged to have met all of you - we have become good friends and as you said Tec we've seen each other through some good and bad times. Just as friends do. So thank you all for allowing me to get to know you - it has been my pleasure.

Linda I think Sue has just called you an Alcoholic, you know what they say
( take's one to know one ) Sue :))

Diane

Cheeky madam...
I have just counted back and assuming I got it correct, it was me who made the 25,000th post, except that Tec deleted one, so if you don't count that one, it was you Sue, which would be fitting

It was me? I actually thought it was probably Berona - I wouldn't have minded.
