Suwi's Place

Well, were to start? I wanted to try a blog at least once a week not Dolly Cold Turkey is over but as always life just gets in the way....I must be getting old the speed time is running at the moment!

The week started of with the news that an Aunt I had not seen for many years had died and her funeral was last Thursday... my mum and dad went and apparently it was a beautiful funeral and they met up with a lot of family they had not seen for a loooong time! But that is jumping forward a bit so I will go back again to

Monday....

I was asked along to a meeting by my daughters pediatrician is was to discuses what services are available for special needs teens in Hertfordshire... apparently they are setting up a umbrella service and if it works well the rest of the country will start a similar service! I felt quite honoured to be asked my opinion along with three other parents, just need to see if they follow through with all this?

Tuesday....

Tuesday was my best friend Lorraine's 40th Birthday. Although we were all going out on Friday for dinner I felt she still needed to calibrate on the actual day so the girls and I went round for a Chinese dinner we had a fun evening although a little shore as the children had school the next day!

Wednesday....

Not a lot going on today although I did get the time to re dress a lot of my dolls ready for a photo shoot supposedly this weekend?

Thursday....

The day of my aunt's funeral and Sophie was home her school was closed so the teachers could do there holiday shopping...OK, that might not be the reason but who knows???? LOL

Friday....

After dropping Amy at school Sophie (yes, she had two days off) and I did a bit of shopping and visited the opticians to order her some new glasses! Funky pink ones with white flowers imprinted in the arms! Friday night we all went to The Goat for dinner, mum, dad, Sophie, Amy, Lorraine and her two boys Kevin and Stuart. Lorraine's elder son Daniel did not come as he had something else on. We had a brilliant night laughing and joking around... I think the people in the pub were glad to see us go!!! LOL Then we came back to my place for some tea and birthday cake!

Saturday.....

OK, so this is the hard bit! I was not sure wether to put this in or not? But it's about my life so I guess it should be here....

On Saturday morning I received a distressed phone call from my mum.... at first I thought something had happened to my dad but no................................... my mum's brother had an argument with his wife and stabbed her to death! This was some time between midnight and 5 am Friday morning! My uncle then phoned his son (my cousin) asking him to come other. When my cousin arrived my uncle was gone and it was my cousin who found his mum and called an ambulance and subsequently the police. Meanwhile my uncle had driven his van at a tree in an attempt at killing himself, he was found by a police man and Lord Marlesford wondering up the road. He is in hospital at the moment and my family are in a bit of a mess! I have spent a good part of the last two days on the phone but we still have little to go on!

Due to the above I have not got a lot done on The Priors this last week but hope to get a couple of episodes done next week!
