I've had a simailar problem - little holes around the waist area of my clothes. I discovered it was a rough service under the worktops. DH filed the unerneath edge of the work tops, especially by the sink and hey presto no more holes. Good luck.

All my simpathy to you and your family Izsy. I think funerals are for the living to commemorate the dead. Think long and hard about whether you want to go and the reasons why. When my step dad passed, I thought I was going to the funeral to support my mum and be there for her, it is only afterwards that I realised I needed to be there for myself too especially since I didn't get to say good bye before he died as I was living abroad. Have to totally agree with Swiss Sandy. I think it gives the living some sort of closure. In my family funerals have always been a celebration for the life and time we had the the person. Yes we cry but usually when we all get together after the Mass and have a cup of tea and then something stronger and then we end up laughing and talking about all the good times we had. I hope you make the decision that's right for you Izsy. Just wanted to pass on my condolenses.

Our weekends tend to be very social here which I love, but I don't have a lot of friends to meet during the day... Think I might have to go to the coffee mornings again to meet some more people, but they're not something I'm good at! Sounds like my life Muurtje. Lots to do at the weekend but sometimes the week days are a bit boring. I know it's different for those with kids but I think it's a bit more difficult for those without. Sorry..............moan over.
