Our Grandchildren called Peter 'Grandad Magic' always because he did silly things like morcombe and wise trick with the paper bag and pound coin.
My Grandson was given the paper bag by Peter and told to go home and practice it last time he was here. It is neatly folded and on his notce board along with other grandad magic treasures.

You can do it Gill, if you can cope with a Builder with mm you can do the classes. More imprtantly give you each a break from one another and the mm. It takes over you life insidiously even though you dont 'have' it.
To get away and not mention it will be brill
good luck

Hi Sarah,
I think occasionaly that if I had not given up work I would have a distraction and something to look forward to, but I would have missed those 5 months of being together all the time.
I dont know what to do or how to approach the coming months. but I intend to see a good deal more of my /our grandchildren than I was able to because of…[Read more]

Hi Min Peters service sounds lovely I think to celebrate someones life is so important We lost my lovely father-in-law recently and the service was very similiar , even down to telling everyone how the grandchildren called him grumpy grand-dad! The last song was chosen by him and up until it started playing everyone was sobbing But the moment we…[Read more]

Roz my husband was half the man he had been when he died, but I surround myself with photo's of the well man he had been before MM got to him 2 and a half years ago.
Perhaps a visit to a spiritualist church would help you to understand he is no longer suffering, and watching over you.
Im not talking about charlatans who charge you money for…[Read more]

Dear Sarah,

He occasionlay said why me? what have I done to deserve this and and the other illnesses he had overcome
Some times I am pleased he is no longer suffering others…[Read more]

Hi Sylvia sorry to hear you had a down spell but very glad to hear you are feeling more positive . I usually find myself feeling down for a few days after hearing disappointing news or results but to be honest after a couple of days I think what the heck and carry on, because what choice do we have There are so many new things coming through and…[Read more]

My husband wanted to work as a goal and to prove he had a normal life.
He had been off work for 18months and missed the social contact and banter so work but perhaps part time or less hours is the answer

Dont take offence non was meant, Besides it is something that they will all encounter some a little more blase than others… There is no time to lose when like this.
Peter had had 3 other experiences with it.
Getting by on a rather nice whie tablet which is having as good effect as a glass of whisky which seems to be hidden as cant find it
