What about an appartment, so your mum would have lots of space to relax if she doesn't feel like going out. I go away with my mum and we had a lovely one near Alvor, on the Algarve in Portugal last year. The year before another lovely one in Mijas Spain (fly to Malaga) Both were really high quality, inexpensive, and had British TV. I know that might sound silly, but if you mum didn't want go out every evening, it is quite relaxing to have a night in in front of the TV, and get a takeaway or shove a pizza in the oven. They also both had nice big balconies, so your mum could lounge about there in the sun.

I'm not getting on here as much as I would like at the moment, so free to PM if I can help at all. I work for an airline, so I travel quite a bit.

:AThank you Debs, that's a really lovely suggestion and definitely sounds like a good option for us. I think the privacy of an apartment and definitely having english tv would make things easier and make her feel more relaxed and able to 'escape' I really just want everything to be perfect for her because she deserves it :A THANK YOU :jxxx

I'm going to sign off for the evening now. Hopefully I shall see you again tomorrow! Thank you so much to everyone for holiday help today, you've truly been fantastic And appologies about some of my posts being so depressing and me, me, me! I've gone back and edited a couple from earlier on, I'm sure everyone doesn't want to read about my depressing life! Night night Elite :Axx

Whitney Houston has died aged 48!

3Dogs

I took Lmy disabled over to her mother's and we were there about 2 hours and then called and did shopping at Morries on way back. It hasn't got above -8 or 9 all day and driving along the riverside A47 was spooky - with the river on one side and 'nothing' on the other side, just 'cloud' which was actually freezing fog which came across the road in places. Very spooky :eek:


When I was out, I got text from my sister asking when she could phone me, so I told her what I was doing and then texted her when I got home. Mam is not good The home had been trying to contact my sister and brother very early this morning and eventually got them about 8 am and they both had been down with mam since 9 am. When the carers checked Mam early this morning, on pulling back the sheets and removing her pad, she had lost loads of blood, through her bowels. They said it was enough to warrant a blood transfusion, if Mam hadn't been in end-of-life unit. Her blood pressure was understandably very low. They checked her later when my sis & bro were there and it was ok, so hoped it was a one off, but when they checked this afternoon, there were heavy blood clots of old and new blood. Mam has been talking and shouting, in fact it was very distressing to hear her yelling when I was talking to my sis on the phone. Sis texted about 10.40 pm to say they had both come home as mam was sleeping after nurse gave her an injection in her tummy to settle her, which only took about 15 minutes to work. They will ring her if any change through the night, and sis will let me know


Anyway, after much discussion, and only after Mr 3Dogs insisted he would be ok, I have booked train ticket for tomorrow as I feel I must be up there with them and Mam. I checked with my friend for a lift to the station, but she could only take me after 2 pm so ended up with a first class ticket for £75+ :eek: just after 7 pm, as the only standard tickets available were for before 2 pm. It will be late when I get up there, almost 10 pm, but I will get something to eat on the way up and I will be there if anything happens

The cupboards, fridges and freezers are very well stocked with food and the dogs are still in the kennels, so Mr 3Dogs can just take it easy and slob about for a few days. He does have his nurse's appointment for Monday morning to get his wound checked but he says he will get the bus in if necessary - the bus stop is at the end of our street and he has his bus pass, plus the bus stops very close to the docs in town. If he is not up to it, or weather is bad, he will just have to ring them and ask them to visit him


So, I am up North again tomorrow to see how Mam is

I've been doing my washing ready to pack yet again and on my 3rd large whisky & water, but will be off to bed very soon

You are very welcome. Just to mention as well, these were both 2 bedroom appartments. My mum get migranes, and she prefers to have her own room so that she doesn't disturb me if she feels unwell in the night.

I hope you get something lovely arranged for your mum, you both really deserve it.

This is where we stayed in Portugal

I've been busy playing with my phone & Touchpad and had just turned the TV on. Walked out of room after the weather, left dishes in kitchen, walked back in and saw the news flash. Did a double take. I know she'd had drug issues etc but she was so young. And to think I was talking about her song "Didn't we almost have it all" just a couple of nights ago.

Very sad. Such a talented woman and corrupted by her husband (if the media is to be believed).

3Dogs, your situation sounds awful and I can't think what to say other than I will be thinking of you and sending hugs. You sound like astrong and special person the way you cope with everything.
