Dad had another fall in the night, this time out of bed ,mum had to phone an ambulance again, I have been on the phone all morning to social workers and his GP, waiting for a call back from the GP, they both desperatly need help, I am going up there shortly to clean for mum, dont know what else I can do but I am sure it will help if its clean and tidy.

As per usual when stressed I cook , have made 24 banana cup cakes, a banana loaf and a sticky ginger cake ( Essex girl I shall send you a bit ), also a huge pasta bake for tomorrow nights dinner and 4 small pasta bake for the freezer, easy dinner for dd.

Ok just going to hoover here, then off to help mum xx

Morning All,

Haven't posted for ages, but its good to read and catch up with you all.

My daughter heard the explosion this morning as well, prayers for those caught up in things.

Feel like things are coming to a head at work and seriously thinking of handing in my notice, can't really afford it although we would probably manage. But as my mum said last night it's no good being the richest person in the cemetry:(

I have been sadly lacking on the baking front recently, stress and baking don't work for me, I have to be in a happy place:)

Have a 50th birthday party at the weekend so need to think of something to wear (that covers all the lumps and bumps)

Have a good day everyone x

Oh no, Redruby what an awful worry for you and your mum. I hope they can get to the bottom of why your dad's having these falls.

Csarina here's hoping things start looking up for you and OH; I reckon the sooner he's allowed home the better, he'll convalesce much better in his own familiar place.

Bitsy oh, ouchy ouch, I do sympathise, having woken up in the wee small hours screaming in pain myself, on many occasions.

Adelight your OH wouldn't last 5 minutes with me.... swiping the stuff that should be used for lunchtime sarnies and ripping up a cheque! Exasperating, aren't they, at times?

Hankies and hand towels are on the A-frame over the bath, as it's damp out. I tend to only use the TD if it's bedlinen or bath towels that I can't get dry outdoors.;)

I've also put the yogurt maker on; I got it when we visited Lakeland at the beginning of October, and it's getting a lot of use already; I've been having some yogurt flavoured with a wee bit of HM jam, with a handful of bran flakes thrown in for brekkie, and I think it's doing me some good.:T

Mr LW forwarded me a picture of his colleague's Labradoodle puppy. I WANT ONE!!!!!:rotfl:

Morning all:D
God i'm exhausted today, OH was led on his back snoring all night and wouldn't turn over, he's like a chuffin brick wall to move:o:o
Am making potato n leek soup, and doing the floors and washing and drying.That's my lot for today as feel crap.Then am going round to Mums as she's putting me on her insurance for her new car:j:j:jIt's a new black focus with tinted windows so i'll be able to drive round looking like a pimp/dealer:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

Candygirl come and sit beside me on the carp bench then <shuffles over>

I am hobbling round and doing everything at a snails pace but it's better than sitting festering over not being able to move like normal. Bit breezy so have managed to hang the washing out, got another load on in WM at the mo.
DD gone to bed (lucky her!) and DS is sitting playing with plastacine, they've both been really good kids this morning especially since I've been less than hands on. Am starting to flag now due to lack of sleep. Me and H have agreed that after an initial visit if DD wakes again she gets left to it. Hate hearing her cry for me but it has to be done as she's pulling a fast one now lets hope she's quick learner

Redruby - I am sorry you're dad's had another fall. Must be terribly worrying for you. Your parents are very lucky to have you as support for them xx I hope they can get some help asap.

Julie - As long as you can manage financially then I guess you have to do what's best for your sanity x

LW - A labradoodle? I assume it's a cross between a lab and a poodle? Erm not sure I like that sound of that! Not a fan of poodles I am afraid. A friend when I was little had a little yappy one and you couldn't stoke it nicely like my lab at home, too much curly hair and to top it off it was called Pepe <runs and hides from all the poodle lovers on OS>

Hi Guys
Can't beleive its 12.27 and no-one has commented that its NOVEMBER!!. HH must have been asleep this morning - auto-pilot?

jackieglasgow

I think we're all ignoring it mehefin

Redruby that's a shame about your dad falling again, call his GP and see if they can do an Occupational Therapy referral ASAP regardless of whatever is going on, they should be able to sort out a few things to make mum's life easier, and provide a bedrail for dad. Hope its just a wee blip and they settle down again soon. Hugs for you and yours.xxx

I am about to make lunch, jacket spud and some really strong cheddar which isn't veggie but I don't care, I like it Hope all are OK x
