Thanks for all your kind words and wishes guys, its totally humbling and overwhelming, this is reason APAT is so great :)

Im feeling ok so far today. Been with my Mum (shirley), Matty, my sister Claire and brother in law Ade and the nephew Elias and we went to visit my granny (dads mum) We just sat and had a general chat which was really nice.

Starting to sort out arrangements for the funeral today, its difficult to try and guess what dad would have wanted, and i know mum is agonising over it!

We got our broadband through BT for free as Dad was an employee, but that agreement will now cease as he is no longer employed by them, so can anyone recommend a good, reasonably priced but super fast broadband provider please?

Many thanks xx

PlusNet. I have an unlimited FTTC (Fibre To The Cabinet) package for £19.99 per month (half price for first 6 months), and am getting speeds between 34 and 40mb consistently, and there is no issue with my 250gb+ per month usage. Customer service is excellent!     FTTC is way better than I expected (I can"t get cable to the house so FTTC is the only option).

So very sorry to hear your news Stu - my sincere condolences and thoughts are with you and all your family.

I found it really hard planning my Dad"s funeral in December. In the end the way I got there was to close my eyes and imagine him watching it and seeing his reaction  would each detail make him cringe/laugh/feel daft etc?

I think it worked - the day was a haze but now I look back on it and have quite fond memories. Wishing you all the best for the difficult days ahead.

Love

Deb
