    Take care Zag and drive carefully. Theres an old Swedish (I think) proverb that goes something like :-

    'Its better to lose a second of your life than your life in a second' :):T

    What a very wise saying.:T:T:T

    Been away camping in Swanage for a few days so not been on at all since Friday!
    I hope I haven't missed anything major. Need to get a few more Finest meals before the vouchers expire. Also pork pies if they are still on offer.
    Can anyone remember when the Morries prices update? Am I too late to get Dr O's at £1.25 or might it still work today?
    Will try for a bit of a catch up but no way I'll get through everything. Promised to take the children to the park for the 'National Play Day' today so off to pack up a picnic.
    Hope everyone has had a good weekend.

    Thank you to everyone whose advice has helped me in my desperate quest to make ends meet. x

    EDIT-Back on the quest, I've been away too long!

    Morning all. I've been compiling a few lists for MySL TvA and AvT.
    Doing an AvT, the McVities biscuits are £2.29 and after APG and 50%c/b, net cost will be 42p.
    Carling Zest 12 pack AvT is £6, net cost will be £2.40
    Harpic Power plus toilet cleaner £2 net cost will be +10p (i.e. paid to take it away:j)

    I've got a TvA list too, want that?;)

    Morning all :wave:

    Looks promising for a sunny day :) Would be nice to get the boys into the garden. I'm struggling to take them out together by myself these days. Thought I was meant to be getting better! Well, off to GP this afternoon. MIL having boys as I've asked DH to come with me. Need to stop trying to put a brave face on all the time. Doesn't help anyone.

    Mrs S, I voted the other day but have been have been having a nosey ;) The doggie in 2nd place has no sign about being a comPETitor so hopefully will be no comPETition :D

    Rose, you're not being mean. You are concerned for her safety and wellbeing so quite the opposite :A

    Well its all going wrong again here. Mum been in hospital for 4 weeks with a broken wrist and not seeing specialist about having plaster removed until 16.8. However they brought her home for a visit last week to see if she could come home and decided she could come home today. I was a bit dubious but my sister from abroad is home till 9.8 and despite my misgivings said she could cope. She also went on and on that it was Mums bday yesterday and it would be nice for her to be at home. So while I was away last week arrangements were made and even though I was dubious and spoke to the OT and ward sister she came home yesterday. However the care she has at home was not put in place till this evening due to hospital not telling social worker about change of date.
    Anyway I went there yesterday morning to get a few things ready and had a complete meltdown. I actually called my oldest brother ( who i dont get on with at all) to ask for his help and support and he agreed that she needs to still be in care or hospital at least till the plaster is off ( ot suggested if she could not cope they would do this ). He was a bit off with me to start but I was in such a state crying he backed off and we had a good chat about Mum and he is with me that she either now needs live in help at night ( not me) or needs to go into care.
    So I called the social worker who was quite annoyed they sent her home early without letting her know and when I explained she was not really fit to be there she said it happens all the time. I said I would see how she is today and call her to see if she can come by.
    She is at risk and I cant be there all the time as I have other things to deal with at home. Am i being mean not letting her be at home?

    So hard for you hun, very easy for siblings who aren't on the 'frontline' to back away and say do what you feel best. But they need to step up and help not just with everyday stuff but with decision making so that your mum isn't thinking it's all coming from you. If they live further away or don't have the time then that's a choice they have made and they need to be honest with your mum about it. Completely unfair for you to bear the brunt even if your mum has carers. Stand by only doing what you are comfortable with. Hope things get better. xxx

    NO you are not being mean :A
    It's a really hard decision to make, I remember mum worrying about putting nan in for ages and it was the best decision for all involved, no more worrying about her falling in the night, you can still visit whenever you want but if you have something that needs to be done at home you can put off a visit for a couple of hours knowing that she's in safe hands xx
