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

Oh 3dogs sending you the biggest hugs.
On way to Kings Lynn today:-)

Did find 1 black box of smints! also 1p yay!!

I was beginning to think these were an urban myth. I have looked in many branches for weeks now and have never seen any sign of them.

I shall renew my efforts now that they have been spotted - thank you.

Presumably on a clipstrip?

Thanks to kadison too and everyone else that's offered me holiday tips....all on my list, armed and ready for a visit to the travel agent to squeeze as much info as I can from them, without actually booking :D

Thats the hardest part trying not to laugh when they come up with some ridiculous price

Not surprised you are on your 3rd whisky, my thoughts are with you & Mr 3 dogs. Is it part of the SW program to have organs removed to increase weight loss ?

Morning all

*big hugs* to 3Dogs, hope you have a safe journey today.

Been to T's already this morning, eerily quiet on a sunday morning, nothing exciting to report. They have loads of the Finest Sausagemeat stuff, in 3 different flavours all for 62p. Only took one, so plenty left

Just me and DD for the next couple of days again, put OH and his 2 boys on the bus to Glasgow first thing this morning. Going to have a nice quiet chilled day :cool: But on the plus side we are going down to Glasgow next weekend, so I'll get to visit some nice new shiny T's Hopefully there might be something for me to find

Tesco Life insurance
For all those that took out the insurance for the clubcard points (was it 1500 or 3000?) the 3 months have now passed so you should be able to cancel the policy and keep the points.
