    If you find it offensive, I will happily delete it.
    Please do, I have never argued with anyone on here, I feel, as do others that the post are in very bad taste, so yes I think we can all move on if they are deleted, I am quite happy to remove mine too.
    Love your Mum, you'll never get another one when she's gone.

    Near miss Sada vs Morries: Muller Corner 6 pack, as they are £1.94 each in T, half a penny cheaper than M's BOGOF price divided by 2. Oh well - it's safer vs T and it also opens it up to our Northern Ireland friends!

    I can also confirm the Lucozade Sport multipacks (on Avs T) are cheapest vs T. T £1.93 - on the comparable ones of course - M £3.00!

    For those outside N Ireland, I now have the "full" Avs M list here:

    You can see it doesn't look finished! Lots of spaces and out of date information regarding other comparisons, e.g. vs T and S. I'm sorry - even I'm working more slowly on it this afternoon as I'm becoming a little bogged down by it, but I'm sure that will be forgiven since the names of the substantive products on the list outweigh the paucity of info. on some of the other options vs other competitors (which you can all check on MSM.co.uk anyway and PM me to let me know about!:D) List v. useful in providing the info. that's not otherwise readily available on the internet.

    My gran had a stroke just before DD was born and was still in hospital when our little arrival came. I was worried she wouldn't get to see her at all and that my daughter would never know her great gran

    2 years (and another stroke) later, my gran has never walked since, can only use one hand, her face is dropped on one side, her sppech is slurred...but she gets so much out of the visits from me and my daughter I would never dream of not going. My daughter calls her "wee gran" because she is very drawn and frail in comparison to her other grans. She's not afraid of her and i would never want her to be

    My wife takes her to visit too, so for us these visits aren't a bloodline responsibility, it's simply a family looking out for and supporting itself

    Yes, I didn't visit Mam 210 miles away out of duty, it was because I loved her, and it was, I am sure, the way that we as a family supported her through her last few years that gave her those extra years and some comfort. The sight of and the company of her great grand daughters kept her alive too and made her happy. Mam was 93 when she died and had been ill all the way through her life through no fault of her own, she never drank much, never smoked and was under weight due to her health ..... and she deserved the 93 years she ended up with, if you can see what I mean

    When my Alan died he was only 62, and had smoked and drank in the past but was healthy overall ...... darn C took him, before his time ............ but when is any ones time? My Sister lost her only son when he was 21. No-one has the right to a certain life span, e.g. 3 score and ten, or 4 score, so every life is precious until the end :(

    I had to switch off last night, when I think how hard it is travelling 140 miles every day to visit my Mum in hospital (80 btw) and how much we are praying for her to survive this huge trauma in her life, the thought of those comments made me sick, I hope his wife never finds out about them, Im sure it would break her heart.

    (((((HUGS))))) HopePray, I know how you feel

    Squills, I am sure that you did not mean to offend, but I am afraid it is apparent that you did offend me and others. I think it is the seemingly off-hand way you 'spoke' and the way you appeared to write off old and/or ill people. When my Mam was ill, the first thing Alan said to me was 'you have to go up to see her' and this happened time and time again as Mam improved then got worse again, and I was so proud of him, looking after himself for long periods of time and so often over a 2 1/2 year period, making sure that I was with my family when they needed me, and when I needed to be with them

    At this time last year, Alan and I had just got the Motabilty Car and had driven up to spend time with our families up North. I have been re-reading my diary from last year and, although it brought back so many memories, it reminds me, as if I needed to be reminded, of the fantastically brave way Alan faced his terminal cancer and of the wonderful support we got from our friends the Elite. So thank you all again from the bottom of my heart :A :A I see that same support day in day out, being given to others and I know how much it all means to them all, as it meant to me

    Special mention to Logie who I find an inspiration in the way she has dealt with everything thrown at her, and I pray that, now that the active cancer has been zapped, further treatment will see her get through all this. Following her story makes me understand more closely how it must have felt for you lot following mine and Alan's journey, but there will be a happy ending to her story, I just know it :A :A

    Best not say any more on the subject though as it is too upsetting - chin chin :beer:

    Testing, testing is this too big?

    Never mind all that. Have you updated the Muller lust. They are getting perilously low in the TM household:)

    Hope you are having a dream time:)

    Well said 3dogs i used to sign in to read your diary and posts with pride . I dont know how you coped sometimes and you are one brave lady and i admire you for that. :A

    I still think of Alan and like to know score of his beloved Sunderland and wonder what he would think of the new manager. :D
  • 3Dogs you are the absolute LAST person I would ever want to offend (I remember stuff from savvy days lol) so my apologies once more. If you could understand it as gallows humour maybe? Plus I am genuinely more matter of fact than most of you probably.
