Frightened about my future - part 2.

Over 80% is excellent!!:T
And it never stops! Just that the type of worry changes over the years - part of the "being a parent" job description!
Hmmm, you're not wrong Ann - we still worry, it's normal. But she lives with her b/f so I s'pose I have to let him take that mantle - but he does need to be awake to do that I s'pose :rotfl:
I just want her to get a good job so she can take care of us, we'll have the "West Wing" please love:D:D

Hi Di,
I do hope you do get to see him. I am sure it will make all the difference to you - and your dad, too, of course.
All this talk and jokes of football seems somewhat frivolous by comparison - but we do need a bit of comic relief!
Hi Ann
I rang the unit and they did say there is little improvement, and they managed to pursuade dad to eat his dinner, although slow but that does not matter as such and they have also managed to pursuade him again with both his oxygen and nebuliser.
There is no visiting today but one of us in the family will ring later as requested to find out if we are able to later after tea.
So far so good though.;)
And of course, that is so right about comic relief, I totally agree.......:j, otherwise we would all be driven barmy :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:;) XXXXXThe one and only "Dizzy Di"0 -

Thanks for the update Di,
Well, at least he is "hanging on in there".
And if he is getting the oxygen that must be a good sign.
Here's hopping for a big improvement and a visit from you very soon.

Now, that's what I call greed!!!
Thanks for the web site address - weighed myself this morning (do it every Friday in Boots) and have lost 2 lb since last week. However, I AM wearing lighter clothes this week, so it has probably just stayed the same!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -

That's impressive!
I have lost about half a stone since retiring - mainly by being very careful what I eat (and not the snacking I did at work) plus either walking or gardening every day!
I could do with losing another 9 lbs - but the last bit is always the harder!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -
oh my gosh. I have missed out, all the girlies have had a weigh in. I keep eating crisps at work and today i had Minstrels too. I wobble!!!!
Fitz has had some exciting man espionage type stuff that only Nid can understand.
And Niddy's daughter's visiting. Fab. And she is a clever one too. Hooray. Not a surprise seeing as her mum and dad are clever and nice too!!!
All is well in the world and the weather is wonderful. I can't wait for the summer proper and i am not even travelling abroad but i am sooooo excited.
I feel so happy. This is like a family to me. I am so chuffed to know you all.Aiming for a minimal spend 20220 -

I am chuffed to know everyone as well, SW.
And I have found it easier to control my weight since leaving work - ate too much when I was at work. And crisps would be my downfall!"What does not kill me makes me stronger". Frederich Nietzsche, 1844-1900.0 -
oh it hasn't come out i am deleting my previous message. It was funny and a bit rude too. Probably just as well.
