Nice People Thread Part 9 - and so it continues

Generali

Hope you're feeling better NDG.

The sun is back in Sydney an I've had yet another productive day at work. I'm on a roll.

In other good news, I've had a minor break through at work which I have to report to a senior manager tomorrow......who I've applied to work for! Good to be bringing him good news.

The Test starts tomorrow my time (tonight your time) which will give me something unproductive to do at work tomorrow. Marvellous.

Congrats to mini-Spirit of course. She inherited her mother's brain clearly.

Well done to mini Spirit:T

Good luck with the tests Gen.

Depressing mode on, Mr Bugs is down to 6 stone 9 from 8 stone 3 at the start of Oct, and unless something radical happens, he's going to fade quietly away. He is having sub cut fluids, so he won't die of dehydration.

I'm as comfortable with that as you can be and I trust the staff at the nursing home to make sure that he's as comfortable as he can be.

Oh bugslet. Your love for him is so beautiful. All we can offer you, I think, is our support and affection.

Thanks.

I think you're the one that needs good wishes at the mo though. Hope you're looking after yourself. It's easy not to when you're looking out for someone else.

Bugs, that is so hard. I'm glad you feel the home is one that you can trust to keep him comfortable, though. And I agree with lir - the NP are here for you.

<hugs>

Bugs, so sorry to hear your news. How are you in yourself? Do you have friends and family to lean on? How about the business and your support there? Just want to make sure you are well looked after in RL as well as NP worlds. Thinking of you.

Aww. It's tough. Thoughts are with you.

ON a lighter topic I read this and despaired:

When cooking lasagne has become 'adventurous' and people have no idea how much it costs compared to ready meals is there much hope.....

We cook mince every few weeks, each time we make enough for 2 meals for 5 (sorry PN) - it costs 6.50 for 1kg of low fat mince (or £5 if we do 50% mince 50% quorn), 20p for a tin of tomatoes, £1 for a jar of red sauce, 2p for a beef stock cube, 30p for 3 onoins, 40p for 4 large carrots and a sprinkle of herbs. One meal is likely to be spag bol, so 40p for dried pasta, the other might be cottage pie (50p of spuds), lasagne (30p of dried pasta and another £1 jar of white sauce) of sometime just add hot sauce on the plate (different doses for different family members) and have with fusilli or similar (30p)

Just watching HUTH. the 3 bed semi that just sold in Kent is almost identical to my brother's in Hertfordshire and in a similar state. Just goes to show how different the markets are, my brother's cost more than double that. Once done up they are lovely though and the fact that he's a very competent builder helped.
