  • Matymoo come and blether anytime :D. I'm not going to show mum it as I'm not sure how she will react. Apparently she didn't have a clue where she was today and my cousin had to tell her. She kept falling asleep tonight when my brother was up as well so the poor wee soul is not so good again :(.

    Me no likey this roller coaster, I want off

  • Lovely letter but that is some mix up. Hopefully it can be resolved so it doesn't happen to another family.

    Sorry your mum isn't having a good day.

    Shame the oven doesn't fit but interest free is a good option if it's available.

  • It's available on 12 months interest free :D. I am pretty sure I am going to get it. I just need to measure up to make sure it fits.

    Well been to cleaning job this morning so that's all done. Went to Aldi on the way back and spent £41 but £5 of that was on a cup cake holder for me :D. Can't afford it and don't bloody need it but hey ho it got bought. Going to finish my housework and then head up to see my mum tonight. Kids are going out for their dinner as it is their Grandfather's 70th Birthday and a crowd are going out for it.Their grandparents hardly ever see them and they rarely get in touch but when there is a family occasion they are expected to attend and it !!!!es me off. Not only that but I am expected to get them there and pick them up :mad:. Well tonight I am not available so I told DD to text her Dad and he could do parent duty for a change but surprise surprise him and his wife are getting a taxi there and his dad is coming for them. I think that is crap as it's his dad's birthday after all. Anyway I am off to clean :D

  • How life changes. My wee mum died yesterday and I am devastated. Not long after my last post on here we got a call to go up to the hospice as she was a bit worse than she had been. My brother and I spent all night with her and although she was in the main unconscious she spoke constantly and was obviously giving me instructions on what to pack for her. This did give us a smile as she was always giving me instructions on how to do things. She came around a bit on the Sunday and we had a lovely day sitting around her bed with all the grandchildren chatting to her and keeping her comfortable and she kept telling my brother to make me go home, which I eventually did after being there for 28 hours. My brother came home not long after. THe call came at 5.30am and we raced the 20 mins to her but we were too late. She is now at peace and our hearts are broken.

    Your so right that your lovely mum is at peace now (and pain free) and I hope you can take a just a little bit of comfort in that, thinking of you and your family x
  • Not much more I can add MIT. My thoughts are with you at this difficult time.
