    I'm really sorry but I don't like the new profile pages. All my likes and favourite bands, books, films etc.. have all vanished and without any warning. Mine weren't put on all at once, I've built them up gradually over the last year so I was really disappointed that they'd gone. I also gave one of my swap partners next to no info about myself because I'd pointed her to my profile Happy
    Sorry for the moan.

    I am so sorry for your loss. It must feel so unbearable. I like what Sheila said about finishing the project you started with him. It will be hard but you will cherish it when it is finished and it will be something you can keep. Also I find find doing something physical helps in these situation. It gives an outlet which can bring some healing. Nearly 5 years ago I lost one of my clients. I work at a daycentre and I had been his linkworker. I'd seen him every Monday and Friday for years and then he had a heart attack. He didn't die straight away, it was probably another year of gradually deteriorating when he died. I can still remember the day he died and being told. Like Heather I felt haunted by my memories. I felt so much emotional pain that it felt like it was physical. I also linkworked his best friend and held his hand at the funeral. It was extremely hard, especially the first 6 month. I felt like I'd never keep it together but somehow you do. Now when I look back it is with happy memories. He was such a character and so cheeky. I ran the Friday and Monday gorup he attended and our Friday Gardening group (which he was member of) got together after the funeral and went down our local garden center and bought a beautiful rose bush and we planted that in his memory.
    If you can manage it I would recommend going to your teachers funeral. We have lost quite a few clients since and I have always found the funeral like a last chance to be with that person. You have gathered together everyone who knew that person and they all bring together their memories and that bit of that person that they have been left with and I think for a moment you almost have that person there. I hope that makes sense. One of my favourte quotes by Morrie Schwartz probably says it better: -
    "As long as we can love each other, and remember the feeling of love we had, we can die without ever really going away. All the love you created is still there. All the memories are still there. You live on—in the hearts of everyone you have touched and nurtured while you were here"

    I tried glue first but it didn't work. I've ended up using tape as well as gluing down the spine. Its come out okay I think. I just hope Salvalo likes it

    I can't go I'm afraid Happy I've overspent this month so only have £45 to last me till the 26th :/ I'd be up for something in the future, especially if it was in Hertfordshire and doable by bus. Sorry to let you down.

    Thats odd because I thought the same thing in Round 1 when I got Kitkats from the US. The packaging was slightly different too.

    Wow Deb that sounds amazing. I hope mines up to scratch. I found binding the pages together really hard and had several attempts. Part of the problem was that I didn't think about it from the beginning. I think its come out okay though :/

    I think its Cats brainchild along with Craftarella and Tom (I think). But now you've asked the question I don't really know the answer and I'd love to know more about how it got started
