    I am so glad that our Mom is coming to see you, if she gets on your nerves stick her on a train and send her to see her other daughter up north for a few days.....a bit of a northern no nonsense pep talk should sort her out. When our parents get old they become like children again, yet they are stubborn and wilfull and seem to reject the things we do in their best interests - so frustrating. You seem calmer now that you know she is coming here and I am pleased to hear it. I has indeed been a right old week, my love, and if your weight reflects this then I think that we can both accept that there will be times when a choc fest is absolutely necessary and should be indulged with good grace.

    Chin up love and let us know when she arrives and how she is. Why don't you set up a diary for her and she can chat to us all day?!

    Well I go away for a week and you get up to so much I have to write an essay.

    Before I comment on some of the posts I thought I would say, :hello: my dear, I hope you are ok today and not feeling too stressed about your mum's situation.

    I am asking OH for sex 2x a month for a year for my bd . It's been years I want to remember what it feels like xx

    Oh dear, I know this feeling only too well and have given up hoping to partake ever again.

    Hope your bottom situation is better now and your right arm returns to its full functionality soon, otherwise I'd tell [STRIKE]her[/STRIKE] it that it may have to find a new body to attach itself to soon.

    :rotfl:

    Seriously though hope your PA returns soon as its sounds as though you are under more pressure than usual and that is maybe why you made the mistake. You do enough as it is without doing the work of others too.

    I'm knitting our blankets ready for our next planned sorte, just let me know when. In between the knitting I'm practising my dancing as suggested by Mrs PG.
