    Jinky hope your friend’s brother’s op goes well and he recovers quickly

    Hello Lady Liberty :hello:

    Just been on the phone to mum - things have got suddenly very complicated for the journey down to Devon on Saturday - and I can't get my head round it all! I think I need to just get on with the things i need to do to get ready, and cross that bridge when I get to it! I've made suggestions, and Mum is going to talk to Dad and Florence and get back to me. It seems that my sister might have to take her car down (which wasn't planned originally) as my Mum is having trouble walking at the moment and is going to take her wheelchair, so there won't be room in my parent's car for sister and a lot of stuff. My sister isn't a confident driver so I might have to go in her car, and mum was making it more complicated then I could cope with! She wants to meet up at some random service area on th M3 - I would prefer my sister to come here and then we can leave from here. Anyway, it's not important on the grand scheme of things.

    I've got tons of things to get on with today and tomorrow. My brain hurts already! I think I should just get on with it.

    HHC @ 11:10 - join me if you can!

  • The above post sounds very selfish - it was actually quite a shock for Mum to tell me that she suddenly couldn't walk last night and I think that's why I'm having trouble processing the new plans for Saturday. She thinks it will happen again which is why she's taking her wheelchair. Sorry for moaning about such trivial things in the above post - they really aren't important compared to what Mum and LL and Toots and Pigpen and Rach and Zoe are going through
