ELITE 11+ Awaiting glitches and chatting with friends

That was a horrendous episode tonight. His own house looked nothing like that.
At least the other couple were happy with 2 out of 3 rooms. Their bedroom was lush but £4.5 per room seems like huge budget:eek:

News from hospital, Dad is onto oral antibiotics now. When sister arrived tea time he was talking to someone to put care plan in place. He has agreed to a Macmillan nurse once a day just to make him a cuppa and check no problems as things seem to take hold quick. Also they are putting a bed in the lounge. He might not use it straight away but it will be in place. Luckily it is a very large room and he has a second sitting room so guests will not see it. Also portable oxygen for when he feels breathless, something to do with oxygenating blood.

We are putting a Dad Cam in hallway. That way he still has his privacy but we can monitor when nurse comes and t will send email photos everytime he pops across hallway to little boys room so we will know he is moving around ok.
Anything more than 2 hours between visits means can ring and check he is ok.

Not sure when I am going up as unlikely they can put anything in place until after the weekend and don't think he will be allowed out until it is.
Might take the easy way and go up by train for the day over the weekend as really want to see him.
Sister says he has been co operating nicely about arrangements although they invited him to visit the hospice for a look around which he really doesnt want to do. Told nurse that by the time he is there he will be beyond caring which I suppose is quite true. I know this stems back from how much he hated the care home his brother was in. Staff there went above and beyond but he hated seeing his brother in his little room.

Good news V. Especially about the McMillan nurse. They are absolutely wonderful :A:A i guarantee you if anyone will break the barrier down, they will. It makes me quite emotional following you through all this
It's great that you have somewhere to post a little summary at the end of each day. I wish I'd found this place when I was going through similar. It's good to put your thoughts and feelings down somewhere.

The hospice thing is so difficult in reality they are not like 'gods waiting room' they are generally a big upbeat step from a hospital ward. The one my dad was in was wonderful, the staff were amazing and there was never a sense of doom in it.

I really am grateful to you for posting your experience you know. It has helped me put a lot of things from my own past experience into perspective. things I was was too emotional about to deal with when it was happening. And of course much easier to deal with time has healed a lot of things. I hope you can take comfort from the fact that your very candid posts of your situation are helping others :A

I find ocd a right pain all the time tiny Ruined my life since I was 17 xx

Mine started while I was married to my ex.

I think it was my only way of control. I am loads better than I used to be. My poor girls had to suffer all their toys being put away regimentally. :o

Now I leave things until I can do them properly so I am tidy on the inside as in drawers, cupboards, everything in neat rows and piles. I know if anyone has touched anything. :o:o

Trouble is now I can leave things untidy outside which I guess in the grand scheme of things is a good thing that I can now leave some things undone. It's just I know it will take me twice as long to do as those that don't suffer so often I don't bother to start as it gets me worked up.

I can tell if I am really stressed as when I put knickers and socks away they don't look neat enough and I get them all back out again. My drawers are works of art in my own little way. :rotfl:

has anyone tasted coke life, is it similar to one of the others? eg zero

My first thoughts were it is incredibly sweet, but stopped noticing it.
Have changed onto pepsi max but will happily drink the coke life while mr t are selling at 2 for £2 with the moc on page 21 of new mag.
One thing I did find was when pouring it fizzes diferently then seems slightly flat so dont pour it out too quickly.

Haven' t tried it but find the colour of the bottle off-putting. DS may like it as he doesn't see green.

Anyhoo

:beer:

My DS2 doesn't like ANYTHING green he even has slabs to get him to his trampoline because he'd rather not step on the green stuff. Before he was diagnosed, I was called to primary school, when he was in reception to pick him up. He'd had a meltdown because someone asked him to sit in a green chair I don't know why he finds it offensive? But he does
The coke was ok because he wasn't actually drinking the green :rotfl:

Bet if you turn over the bit that says "Fifty pence challenge Let's encourage every one of our loyal customers to save..." it reads "Fifty pence challenge Let's encourage every one of our loyal customers to spend...":rotfl:. Well, the customers on the outside and the staff on the inside...:D, wonder if different messages for the two different target groups:rotfl:.

:rotfl: I'm probably going to delete this post, but.......you know how most of us rotate our stashes - I must even rotate my knickers. Freshly laundered ones go to the bottom of the pile, colour co-ordinated, and folded the same way

Same with towels, folded and rotated in piles - think I've got it bad :rotfl:
