Boo's journey through widowhood: Good news
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/12/good-news.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Monday, December 17, 2012. My house is sold. I leave our shared marital home in 5 weeks . on the 21st January. Ovens, American F/Freezer, the new roof, skylights, new built in cupboards, architrave . and so much more. I remember him working so hard. Saying, "nearly there, Boo . another 3 months and it'll be done." But he had those 3 months stolen. I remember him saying, "you walked right past it . you didn't notice, did you? I remember decorating our back reception room (...

Boo's journey through widowhood: update on stolen fairy dust
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/10/update-on-stolen-fairy-dust.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Thursday, October 11, 2012. Update on stolen fairy dust. After sending texts to two numbers - I was finally graced with a response. I have been promised a payment on Tuesday. (I have a feeling that I would have been ignored had I not texted her other half though). The person who I let down, albeit because I was extremely ill, has not bothered to ask how I am . I guess my boiler will now go unfixed. So, I'm trying to sell the Kent pegs,. What a fucking nightmare. And t...

Boo's journey through widowhood: So glad I went
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/10/so-glad-i-went.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Monday, October 8, 2012. So glad I went. It was our friend Marcus' 50th Birthday . and he arranged a private function to celebrate . at The Pavilion. Live music courtesy of EK1, followed by a set that got everyone's feet moving. Old friends and faces. I have no idea why, but I felt nervous about going. Without my Cliffy. I bought Marcus a bottle of Hine. Margo Mayhew, good to see you . in you go.". OMFG "Two devils and a vampirette! I said, incredulously. "OMG, Margo!

Boo's journey through widowhood: Starting at the beginning
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2009/03/starting-at-beginning.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Monday, March 30, 2009. Starting at the beginning. It's almost been 3 months since my husband died. In the first days I was incapable of creating a blog, so I will begin by describing what those initial days were like and then move onto posting in "real-time". And moving over so he could. We cuddle and enjoy the documentary, chatting about it and laughing. Really loudly and I know something's wrong because he always called me "Boo" unless he was very annoyed with me. ...

Boo's journey through widowhood: Celebrating
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/10/celebrating.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Monday, October 15, 2012. I think I might be getting used to going to social functions alone. It doesn't fill me with fear or sadness these days. Last night I went to my goddaughter's Engagement Dinner. Without Cliff, clearly. Loved her fiancé and his parents too. It was a great night. Lovely to be ensconced into my BFF's family - a place I feel very much at home. I was thinking about this "getting used to thing" and couldn't decide if it was a good thing, or whether I sh...

Boo's journey through widowhood: Now that the magic has gone
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/10/now-that-magic-has-gone.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Monday, October 8, 2012. Now that the magic has gone. Didn't take long. The magic from last night has been cast away by someone who has let me down. And they're blanking me. Owe me money. Let me down. They know how ill I am and that I need it for food. But their word is jack. Why the fuck is it that I am expected. That I have to do what I say I'm going to do. And no other fucker has to? I'm inconsolable. Angry. It's made me ill. October 9, 2012 at 2:49 AM. I am so very so...

Boo's journey through widowhood. Thursday, November 15, 2012. Oh god I miss you so much more in the winter. November 15, 2012 at 12:05 PM. Thinking of you and wishing you peace and comfort. November 26, 2012 at 1:53 PM. I do believe it is because it gets dark so early these days. I hate the evenings all alone. November 28, 2012 at 10:22 PM. Hi, Ive been out of touch for ages.

http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2013/01/an-overdue-update.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Saturday, January 26, 2013. An overdue update . Since my last post, Cliff's 4th grandchild was born (Rex Clifford), Christmas and New Year have passed us by, and I've emotionally "left" our home . A real tree . gifts put underneath on Xmas Eve, candles lit . Xmas stockings . and my sister spoiled us all with tree presents and gifts for the table too. I lit a candle for Cliff of course. Didn't make a big deal about it. Just quiet. January 27, 2013 at 10:37 PM. Beyond what ...

Boo's journey through widowhood: Pulling my head out of the sand
http://boomayhew.blogspot.com/2012/11/looking-onwards-and-upwards-finally.html
Boo's journey through widowhood. Saturday, November 10, 2012. Pulling my head out of the sand. My "brother from another mother" has bailed me out with an interest free loan for 6 months. *sigh of relief*. I now have enough funds to see me through until my house sells / the PPI refund comes through (the latter is still a work in progress . I've just filled out and mailed in more forms - hopefully the last of them). I've learned to say "NO! I got so fucking bored of predicting peeps' next moves before they...
