I just wish mum would (sorry if this upsets anyone) stop going on about dying.

Bro not been in touch and wished her Happy Birthday or sent her card present. So I get mum saying she may not be here for next birthday.

Every weekend she says more than once stupid things like I may find her dead when I go next time or I would sit watching football instead of watching her die :mad: . I have told her not to be so daft but she doesn't listen.

I have asked DS if she talks like this to him and he says no and feels sorry for me having to put up with her.

I only have mum DS and my bro. So it gets to me mum keep going on at me. Its not my fault bro not been in touch but she always makes things sound as tho its my fault.

I am not that close to bro but we do speak and I see him on the odd occasion he visits mum when I am there. But he only stays 10 mins .

That probably makes no sense at all :rotfl:but you did tell me to post

Half time :footie: going making a :coffee:

firstly ...dont ever apologise for sharing your life with us:D:D

secondly......sending you hugs.....it must really bring you down hearing those things she says......but at least she feels able to say them to you which we all know means she trusts that you will still love her no matter what she says......sounds like she is just low and needing to vent - and you are the one she can do that to hunni......sorry no advice ....just hugs and hopes that you find a way to smile your way through those moments:A

She's is probably feeling lonely and sorry for herself and doesn't really mean it ...my Mum sometimes comes out with things like this, noone visits etc etc to try and make you feel guilty...does she get out much!?

Sort of mums weekly diary . She lives in a flat sheltered housing for the over 55's

Monday ..... Morning armchair exercises ,dinner lunch time , after lunch plays oye all in the common room. Night her old neighbour from when she had house visits her.

Tuesday Lunch dinner time and night bingo in common room

Wednesday Hair done if needed no lunch

Thursday same as Tuesday

Friday she gets bus down to Mr T's or A's also lunch again in common room.

Saturday morning I visit

Sunday I visit have lunch at mums. Sometimes in afternoon another neighbour visits her from when she had house.

In between weekdays she goes intown and the folk in flats go on trips to see shows probably once a month

I could understand it if she didn't do anything or saw anyone.

Does anyone recognise this? It froze my screen up earlier and the only way I could get rid of it was to shut the page down and open up a new one

It looks like the program that creates the page you are viewing, not sure of the exact explanation but it's what's programmed in to create the webpage. If you do a right click anywhere on the screen you should get "inspect element" at the bottom of the list, that brings up something similar on mine. Although my box had an X to shut it down!

Geeky but true lol!

I just read your other post and feel for him....to know exactly what he wants and not be able to do them must be very frustrating for him.....def worth talking to the school as they might not have the timetables set in stone yet- until they know how many kids want to study each subject?

My DD didnt get the subjects she wanted but thoroughly enjoyed the ones she ended up with..... a life lesson too methinks one way or another he will learn to research all other options/opportunities or learn that life sometimes throws lemons at us ......he might like the lemonade he will make from them:rotfl::rotfl:

good idea to talk to them and see what the possibilities are think i will do it know rather than wait for the meeting in a few weeks as their may be more chance of doing something earlier rather than wait until the last minute, love the last bit you may be right and it might do him good to learn to make the most of what is on offer he will not always get what he wants,,

thanks everyone for the help its nice to get some feed back from others xx

Tweets my mum was same with me, my brother was wonderful whatever he did and she would be cheerful and happy and oh thank you to him. I got 'I'm ill' 'Visit more' 'Not like that'. I think it is a cross us daughters have to bear I suppose in a way it is a compliment that they can share with us but sometimes it would have been nice to hear the good stuff.

It makes perfect sense tweets...is Mam just feeling a bit sorry for herself I wonder. Does she have any friends to talk with or does she just unload everything onto you?

Think she just unloads everything on me. I could be wrong but she doesn't moan at DS and bro ignores her when she starts moaning at him.

Don't know if anyone's answered you as I m catching up but if you locate your photo in your camera roll when you click on photo s , click on the photo and you ll see at the bottom left a square box with an arrow pointing upwards in it, click on that and various options will come up for you eg mail, I message etc

Emerald, thank you for that - I'm not sure that it will enable me to attach the photo to my report in the right place but, if all else fails, at least your instructions will enable me to email the MS company with the photo as an attachment.

I'm beginning to regret accepting the job - they insist that I will be able to upload the report without the photo and send the photo when I get home but frm what I can see the report won't actually 'send' without at least one photo. Fortunately there is no purchase involved so I won't lose purchase money if it doesn't work and, as Qatar insist on checking in 3.5 hours early, I will have loads of time to waste in the Duty Free !

I think a lot of the problem is to do with loneliness and having time on their hands to think about things too much. If people are busy they tend not to have the time/inclination to dwell on things so much. Try not to take it too much to heart - she is lucky to have you :A

Sometimes you can be surrounded by people 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and still be lonely

My dad talks the same so I know how you feel x x
