Dad's day 2010

I already said this in an email to TJ but I thought I'd post it here too.

We had a lovely couple of days at the coast. I'm sure you all know that it was Dad's anniversary on the 18th.

I'll tell you a story about spookiness. I was playing on one of the fruit slot machines, just a two pence a time one as I'm not one of the big spending gamblers hahah!, and I was thinking of Dad and said in my head "Dad if you are here, let the jackpot come up and I'll know and I can tell mum you are here with us". Well, the jackpot was only a fiver and I didn't really expect anything to happen and when my pennies ran out I thought, ah well, there you go. Then I was walking through the arcade when I spotted a two pence on the floor. I picked it up, turned around and behind me was one of the machines I like to play. I put my one and only two pence into the machine and would you believe that the jackpot came straight up. Is that a sign? Who knows. I'd like to think so.

Oh wow! How wonderful!! I am sure that was your Dad, having a bit of a lend of you at the same time as letting you know he's there.
I do think those we've lost can communicate with us, some of the psychic shows go a bit overboard, but I think that little things, just to let you know, are entirely possible and happen to everyone. Just sometimes we don't notice.
I am certain my grandpa esp helps me find parking spots. The number of times I am frustrated by full car parks and I say in my head "Grandpa can I please get a spot" and next turn there one is! Far more often than you'd expect by chance.
It's all part of the mysteries we don't understand, but that keep us reminded and so we know we are all still connected, beyond the physical.

ps: I am totally a cheap slot player too, 1 and 2c machines, at least you get lots of goes from $1 before you run out of money lol!

I once heard that after a loved one has died, to find pennies is a good sign. It means they're thinking of you.

I loved your dream about your boots. My dreams have been so active lately that I'm thinking that's why I'm tired in the morning.

Hi Miss T:)
Well that's just plain spookeeeeee Miss T.

Just wanted to let you know that we had some good news yesterday. After months of gruelling treatment my sister finally got the all clear:)

I so wanted to run into Mayo's and shout "it's good news, it's good news", but he shut the door in me face:(
Now I'm having to walk around blogbelieve and knock on everyone's door to tell them the news. Flippin' knackered I am Miss T, knackered I tell you, and my feet are flippin' killin' me!
*kicks off shoes* Ooohh me bunions Miss T, me bunions:(

You don't mind if I park myself here for a bit do you luv?
*reaches into Mr Tickle rucksack and takes out butty box and flask*
*munch munch, slurp slurp*

Ah that's better!
*wipes mouth with sleeve*

*applies some 'Bazuka that Verruca' on bunions*
The damn Chemist had run out of 'Bunion be gone'. Next best thing he said! Next best thing my arse!!!

Right then, I'm off.

Hope you're well. Take care and speak to you soon.

Hiya Ergo sweetie.

I am certain my grandpa esp helps me find parking spots.

I think you are totally right. When I was working back in Sheffield and I was fed up waiting for the bus, the amount of times I would ask Dad to make it come and it would appear round the corner a few seconds later. It is indeed spooky.

at least you get lots of goes from $1 before you run out of money lol!

Damn right LOL!


Hiya RW sweetie, aw bless you for saying so.


Hiya Jenn sweetie.

I once heard that after a loved one has died, to find pennies is a good sign. It means they're thinking of you.

I hadn't heard that but I think that's lovely.


Hiya Welshie sweetie, me old mucker.

Just wanted to let you know that we had some good news yesterday. After months of gruelling treatment my sister finally got the all clear:)

That's bloody brilliant news sweetie. Oh god, I'm so happy for you both.

*hands over bunion cream*

*looks over* What's that you're munching on eh? Pass us a biccie.

You put your feet up sweetie and rest as long as you like.

I'm always available on email if you've got great news you wanna share sweetie.

Welshie sweetie, I've just read the last of the comments at mayos and seen where you wrote about your cousin dying.

I'm so, so sorry sweetie. I wish I could give you a great big hug. Your family has suffered more than it's fair share of loss.

If you need to chat sweetie, you know where to find me. xxx

Hi Miss T:)

I've just noticed that you've added my cousin Gwen to your list. How unbelievably kind of you. As children me and my sisters were human 'pass the parcels' moving from one family member to another. We lived with Gwen's family for quite some time and she became more like a sister to me.
It can't of been easy for any of them having an extra 3 mouths to feed. They never once made us feel as if we were a burden to them. I'll always love my family for that.

It was wonderful news about my sister, such a relief for us all.

I hope you're well and still enjoying your life down South.

Take care

I'm pretty sure I have sea water in my blood.

I can never seem to go too long without the ocean and sand at my feet.

Now if it were only in my backyard, that would make my life a whole lot easier.

Although, if I had the beach that close I don't know how often I'd make it to work. So, maybe it's a good thing to have to work for it a bit. :)

For Welshie (thanks MissT): I was so sorry to read about your cousin, but I'm glad that your sister has been given good news.

Maybe things will look up for you and your family?

I hope so.

Don't be a stranger.

Hiya Welshie sweetie.

I put your cousin up there on my blog as soonas I heard. I like to think of my little header as a tribute page. It's just so sad that more names have to be added.

It was fantastic news about your sister though, that made me smile and breathe a huge sigh of relief. You've been through so much and lost so many.

You look after yourself sweetie and pop in here often or I'll miss you too much.



Hiya Jenn, maybe it's a good job you don't have the sea too close. Being in too much water makes you wrinkly and you'd stink of seaweed ^_^
