    Buffy....give your Mum a box of 'important' stuff to occupy her whilst you chuck everything out maybe?

    Everything is important :);)
    Me and OH do a sort of tag run when we go to his mum's. She's surrounded by stuff so one of us keeps her talking while the other empties the fridge etc. til she shouts "What are you doing?" then we swap places and repeat. :A

    Yes, we used to do that to my Grandad. Its hard to think of Mum in the same way.

    I have just come to the conclusion that nothing will make my Mum happy, she really just doesn't care and doesn't want anything to change. I do understand that completely and accept that she is doing what she can, but I can't accomadate it any longer. She won't make any decisions won't discuss anything only ever wants everything done her way - which is to do nothing.

    So I started to clean the garden and have put three (small!) bags of rubble in the front (Mum not happy) and sorted stuff for recycling and the tip.

    I am going to get one of those Hippo bags and just fill it up.

    although right now I am having a break!!!

    Thanks hun, but I'm sure your DD will have other things on the mind over the next few weeks. If we make it down, and she's not 'busy' I'd be ever so grateful though :D

    Enjoy the magners and chocolate xx

    afternoon all.

    I have been spreading the MSE lurve :love: with a real life lesson in online banking, Quidco and free daily scratch cards. My ex asked me for a few tips on getting online etc - he's never had access other than a bit of pootling around whilst at work and it is whole new world to him. He's even paid off a credit card in full (4.5k!) with some of his redundancy after registering with the CC online facility and paying it there and then. Another member of the cult has joined the fold although he is out there in the real world. :eek:

    It's going good my fellow red haired friend.

    I really enjoyed 'teaching' a lesson in MSE and just some of the bits that should be done. ( I also signed him up for the weekly email - he's almost part of the fold mwah, mwah evil cult like laughter!)

    Perhaps I should suggest to Martin I set up an MSE school in real life :D
