19/04/2010 | There has been much publicity recently about the rights and wrongs of giving to charities and this will be more evident this week as Sport Relief comes to our TV screens There should be more to charites than simply rattling a collection tin something that Eddie Izzard has proved in a big way.

19/02/2010 | Welcome to the 13th blog which of course could be unlucky for some. Actually for those of you who have read these blogs you will probably think yourself extremely unlucky anyway.

18/05/2010 | As Katie's Daisy relaxed with a new friend Down Under Katie's Dad was learning much about a country he was unsure about. Here are some of his findings with apologies to all the lovely people he met who were so kind. Furthermore with every ex comedian and actor in the world having taken part in one travel programme or another surely its time for Katie's Dad to have a go!

 |
18/01/2010 | After a couple of weeks off Katie's Dad returns with a message for you all and some news about this year's Cricket Match. Bad news is there is no joke this week, this of course maybe viewed as good news by many! A New Year is with us and those New Years Resolutions have already been broken, the weather is grotty, the trains are not running and we are all miserable.

08/03/2010 | Katie’s Dad has found his keyboard and has deigned to share his latest words of wisdom with us. It is a wonder his computer has survived as after Southend United’s run of bad results on and off the field in 2010 a number of household items have been hurled at various walls.

01/06/2011 | As we enter our fourth year without Katie we often stop and think about the way we are dealing with our loss. Should we be doing this, behaving like that or feeling in a particular way. A bereavement counsellor once said to me that your grief is your own and you should deal with how you feel is right. Please read on....
