Right gels, give a feller a bit of advice. We just had a phone call from my BIL: my MIL (80) has had a small stroke and is in hospital for 2 weeks for observation, wife's on the phone right now speaking to her. Her whole family has always been highly hypochondriac, always exaggerating every slight medical problem and panicking over unimportant stuff like sniffles or a temperature.

Now I know a stroke is not minor but this one sounds very slight. She's already talking of flying out this weekend (in Europe) and I'm already thinking: big probably unnecessary expense because the extent of the problem has not been established.

I take it that (as usual) I am hopelessy wrong to even think of mentioning that to my wife, after all these years I am about on the point of realising you're supposed to be sympathetic, listen and sod the expense?

Is that about right? Advice please. What should be my reaction and what is my role?

No sympathy needed as it's my MIL not some relation.

I agree with what's been said before, definitely tell your DW to go, and support her whatever decision she makes.

I'm a bit wobbly at the thought of all the money going out for no good reason but I'm sure a nice cold bottle of Nobilo Sauvignon Blanc from New Zealand would steady those jelly legs :beer::D

That explains it. If you are getting your pot and pots mixed up it's no wonder your last batch of brownies were not very good:rotfl::rotfl:

My Asda only has the 6 for £3 SEL - nothing about an offer on 10. Are they scanning at 10 for £4 like the Mullers were ? TIA.

She will need insurance mind and you are free to have a bottle or two of oblio or whatever it was called (Morries white) :beer:
Best for her to go if she is wanting to because if she didnt because of you and something happened

Not sure there's much profit in European policies so I might just have to take out 2, one to the airport and one for the journey back :cool:
