    But do they compare?
    I paid £1.88 a bottle, that would probably compare to lucozade : )
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Feeling a bit low today, Im my mums main carer. She fell in May and has been in and out of hospital since then. She fell again in August and has been in hospital ever since.

    She was at home all the school holidays, and as a few of you may remember, i had a 'meltdown' at one point as I couldnt cope with helping her, running her houshold as well as mine, having three kids at home, doing the job of the incompetent professionals involved etc, as well as having to go in between carer visits and during the night.

    Anyway, visits mum today, she says the physio has asked her to talk to me about what will happen if she cant go home. How can i tell my mum that I think she would be better in a home, its breaking my heart:(

    I know she was not safe at home over the summer, we lurched from one crisis to another, and her ability and mobility is not as good as it was then, so I knew we might have to face this. Shouldnt it be up to the staff on the ward to asses her and advise her about if she can safely go home? Do I have to take on this responsibility and guilt as well?:(:(

    On the plus side, I told her about the cheese glitch and she was very impressed:)

    Sorry about how things are, would expect your mum knows herself that she can't cope on her own, why not ask her what she thinks the best soloution would be if returning to her own home is out of the question, she might hope to come stay with you.

  • Now onto the subject of cheese - any in NI to be found? I posted last night re 3 stores I had tried with no luck. Off on a cross country tom so will try more. Any I should not try? Any I should try? Thanks Px

    I don't think we get that one, if I remember correctly this glitch happened before on the same or a similar pack of cheese about this time last year and we never got it. I got a CS SA to check on the system last time but it didn't come up as available for her, she rang a few other stores but they were the same.
    I know I can't order it for delivery using my own postcode so not even bothered looking this time :o
