Many thanks for all your good wishes but bad news I am sorry to day, Mam didn't make it through the night My sister was sitting with her and Mam passed away peacefully just after 3am. My sister stayed while they changed Mam into a nice fresh nightdress and tidied her up and then rang her hubbie to drive her home. As we said, Mam is out of any suffering now and is at peace

At 93, Mam has had a good innings considering the fact that she has been in and out of hospital most of her life. She was born 5th Sept 1919, the smaller of twins. At less than 2lb weight, she survived whereas her bigger brother died at birth. So she was a fighter from the start it seems. She had TB when 16 or 18 and has always had a very weak chest, which she passed on to my sister and I in our asthma. I can always remember her having to go into hospital regularly over the years for her asthma. Later she developed angina too, and she had very bad arthritis with her hands and feet badly twisted and painful. But there you are, she got to 93 and it was only in the last 4 or 5 years that the dementia got to her and she was only diagnosed with altziemers 3 1/2 years ago, so she was able to see and enjoy her great-granddaughters grow up to age 7 & 11. And she did so love to see them :j Greatest loss was the death of her only grandson when he was only 21, knocked down and killed by a train, 18 years ago next week, so she doted on her only granddaughter, and, as I said, her two girls. The joy of her life and what kept her going, we think. They will miss her dreadfully and it will be hard as they lost their other great-grandma 15 months ago to cancer, their Uncle Alan Mr 3Dogs last year and now this, poor girls, but they now understand the cycle of life and death

I will take it easy today, have lunch here as Andy is doing a lovely roast beef dinner (free DTD beef from Tosco of course) and drive home later, about tea-time. Then drive up North tomorrow. I know there is no rush now, but my sister needs me and I will be there for her, and my brother too

So sorry for your loss Susan. Your mum's had a good life and you have some wonderful memories of her to keep close to your heart. drive carefully. Hugs Caz x

Firstly a big hug to 3Dogs. Sorry for your loss.
All the family home for Easter. just cooking a lovely DTD joint of Lamb and a pice of Sirloin I got reduced from £13.10 to £1.31 a couple of weeks ago. The Lamb was £8.71 and i got £5.90 dtd on it. However it was not enough to feed 5 of us so I added the lamb. Served with Polenta roasted spuds, mixed veg and cauliflower cheese and green beans.
As DD has been unwell was unable to get to Asda for cheap eggs so my grown up kids asked for eggs last night so they had to have Double Decker ones from Mr t and I got one for DD's bf who is here. 3 FOR £10.00 AND I paid with a Price Promise for £10.00 I got with wine and Finest meals.
Happy Easter all.:A

Afternoon everybody

I have ordered 2 lots of £30 gift vouchers from viking (Like others still waiting for my points ) but another £30 arrived yesterday. I have double checked my order history and def only 2 orders and checked my bank account and no other money has been taken I think they have had so many orders they are making mistakes. I remember somebody saying they receivde a £100 one was that a mistake?x

Unfortunately having to work today whilst the rest of the family are out for lunch and eating lots of chocolate

Thinking of you 3dogs xxxx

Oh well. If you don't get your points at least you have the extra cards:)
I've given up on mine. Still can't complain as I'm not a business user anyway.
