    Wow, talk about feel the love. You guys really are the very best.

    SB is 21 today. Can't believe he's been around for so long...I don't remember life without him. We ordered the IKEA wardrobes yesterday. All went well until the very end when some of the order became unavailable as other folks had bought the same stuff after us BUT checked out faster...grrr. So I'll need to go back for a 3rd visit to buy and collect the missing items.

    MacMillian's were round today. I've to go to the Hospice on Friday to see their clinical director to see if he can find a resolution to the sickness and pain issues. The place has just been completely refurbished and I've never been to a hospice so should be an interesting afternoon. If anyone has any experiences, good or bad, I'd be very interested in hearing.

  • HAPPY BIRTHDAY SB!! Wow to be 21 again :D I hope he has a lovely day! !!


    Hospices- My grandfather was in a hospice at the end, it was a lovely place, peaceful surroundings and the staff bent over backwards to help us! ( not that we were demanding I promise ;) ) that was a MacMillans now I think about it. He was only in for a short time so I don't have much experience to share with you but from what I could see it was a friendly place xx
