Thank you. Not much can be done as she is old, even by modern standards, and as you guys know, not the easiest person in the world.

Still, horrible news.

Aw big hugs to you xxxxxxxx

sorry to hear that 1 step

hope you find out exactly what it is, and get it sorted, soon.

Loving the Pollyanna attitude though:T

Thank you Valli!

Am cutting down on the pain killers to see how bad things are at the mo, seems to have subsided a tiny bit. The dr did want me in hospital but I said no - if I am well enough to drive and go to work I am not ill enough to take up time and space for someone who may really need it.
Just take away the pain!

Then it's cook a roast dinner...

Grateful so sorry to hear about your MIL. Hoping she's not in too much discomfort.

I am currently trying to dislodge Mr LW from one of the gaming websites - there's stuff needs doing, and it's all stuff I can't manage on my own (needs heavy things moved, type of thing). I may resort to dynamite......:D

My MIL has now been given 6 months to live...she has the kind of cancer caused by asbestos exposure.

Sorry to hear this... its not nice - we've lost two family friends to it in the last year. I hope they can make her last few months as comfortable and happy as possible.

or switching off the router???

I've dropped of my dry cleaning and been food shopping (waitrose... couldn't face any of the others on a sunday this close to Christmas ). Now just need to summon up the energy to put the shopping away. And steel myself to make stuff like chocolates, florentines, shortbread, biscuits, mince pies (and I don't even make my own shortcrust pastry at this time of year...) etc. Ideally without making a mess...
