Oh you are good doing your housework - I'm sat here with a glass of wine;) All I've done since I finshed work is go to the hairdresser, sit on pc, sweep kitchen floor....and that's it:o Not even cooked dinner yet - girls are playing outside and not asking to be fed, so I'm in no rush!I really need to sort out a new signature!0

I'm feeling pretty yucky tonight Milly, so keeping occupied is better for me than sitting here thinking ... ds has gone to his dads so its really quiet and my dads had a bad week, since the doctor spelt out to him on monday that his dementia wont go away or get better he seems to have deteriorated (sp?) massively

he keeps wandering off,mums having to lock the doors so he cant get out, he doesn't know who she is or his way round their bungalow, he's talking about ending it all ... has been a horrible week. My brothers coming down this weekend for a big family meeting on sunday, am not looking forward to it

Awwww BB, big HUGS to you, can't be easy at all with your Dad. It's a horrid way to see them. My Grandad had Alzheimers(SP??) it was tough on my Nan.
