Not really following the rules of most clubs.
No single male or females allowed unless sharing a cabin with a couple.
In true swinging style single men are limited but single females are a valued commodity and enter most clubs free so why ban them from the cruise. They should be getting a huge discount.

Will watch out and see if this one gets to dd staff travel sight. Presume 2 females can share as says nothing about sexual orientation.

Sorry in the mood to post mindless drivel but I don't think they have thought this out properly banning certain groups of people. Can't chose who stays in your guest house so why on your ship. Only international water law is the dependant on where ship is registered staff may have to remain sober even off duty (any ship registered in America )

be more interested in a naturist cruise anyway:rotfl::rotfl:

Very sad day. I was not prepared to see how bad dad now is:(
He is asking to go into a care home as he hates all the interruptions of the careers coming and going at least in a care home if sleeping they would leave him in peace for a while. Dd got to give her grandad a hug.
List of drugs from discharge from hospital was all in hospital shorthand so had to phone support team to decipher. We then checked lists 3 times before setting out the boxes in rows of morning lunch and evening. Sister will now leave relevant pot of drugs by dads bed as he was fretting about a nurse coming. Not heard a thing about Macmillan support. Sister is taking Monday off to sort out care home funding as apparently he is entitled due to condition.

Shockingly hospice do not take patients until end of life due in 3-4 days.

With monies raised I find it hard to believe they have moved the benchmark. We think by that time better off staying put.

Scariest bit is dad is no longer to be given bloods or platelets. I think this is due to bleed in lungs.

very upsetting day and dad had a few emotional moments. Bag packed and car full of fuel awaiting call from sister.

As my dd said after seeing him, they treat prisoners better.

Sister and I offered to stay with him at night but he said no. He has phone nearby and been told to use it if he wants attendance.

I am just in pure shock tonight of how much he has changed.
Still eating well though.

I don't think I have really been properly kept informed over the last week and sister and I have made a pack to talk even more.
Sister is so very busy I know it is hard to remember everything.

Can't understand why he is getting no nursing care at all:mad:
Not even to administer drugs. Sister has Macmillan nurses number but she only works mon to fri 9-5 not much use.
Luckily the peps palliative care team are on the end of the phone 24/7 but very limited in giving any help. They more liase with other care providers.

Going to try to relax and watch a bit of telly. Very long day. Dart ford tunnel was shut so used black wall tunnel. Was actually quicker than a basic dart ford queue and I now know how easy it is on a sat lunchtime with no traffic.

Love to all and thank you for your support.

Oh V that sounds awful Im so sorry. It could just be that your Dad is declining more rapidly than you expected or were prepared for?

It's an unpredictable disease that loves nothing more than throwing you a few curve balls

I've been there twice in my life where people just 'give up' my Dad in the same situation as yours and my mum....whole different situation. In my experience once someone gives up/gives in the end comes a lot closer than you expect it to.
The fight that the human spirit has never ceases to amaze me. But once that fight gives up......:(

Not relevant to you but as an example.......my mother was so fond of drinking alcohol she openly admitted she'd rather die than not have that pleasure

Sorry I went off on a tangent there

But Savvy Sals mayonnaise was mustard mayonnaise, not just any old plain mayonnaise! I fancy trying this next time I do a Morries target shop

I realise this yes!
To be fair I'm unable to take details of the price of every item in M, including ones of much higher price in M which will be no good for Avs M or T PP. Therefore I concern myself mainly with what looks 'good value' in M.
You raise a valid point though, that some items, because they are of a certain type - branded rather than S/P as well - or because they are technically high price per unit but that's because they may be light-weight products tend to get excluded.

I even don't bother with Hellmann's Mayonnaise prices now - as they always, always are more expensive per 100g. than the S/P Mayonnaise no matter what offers they go onto. The Hellmann's was only briefly good when it was a glitch.(:eek: that I say that.)

However, I may at some point, eventually:o, get to looking at all the Mayonnaises as a 'special project'. Speaking of mustard stuff, I suspect some CBY French Mustard compares too (vs M), even though I only have S/P English Mustard because 'that's cheaper:p'.

It'll have to be, on the mayonnaise, when I get round to it though, as it is quite a job! :eek:I'm supposed to do this, somehow, at the same time/on the same day as doing all the rest of the current M list items!:rotfl::rotfl:

As regards my 'getting round to things', rather than just doing them:p, and I'd referred earlier to that John Couch Adams article - this is the same as what I linked to before folks;): http://rsnr.royalsocietypublishing.org/content/61/3/285.full

"Adams emerges as a rather complex and even paradoxical individual, whose intellectual astuteness was offset by equal measures of social-skills deficiencies, a tendency to procrastinate and tinker even when the situation called for action, and an almost pathological difficulty in writing prose narrative, a near-fatal combination that made him seem adrift, indecisive and mute at the very moments when conviction and clear indications of what his investigations had uncovered were needed."

This sounds so like me, it really does. Savvy - you need to be decisive!:D

I'll try and keep a watch on the equivalent to that Mustard Mayonnaise though. I suspect a few of these items (that is not the brands, but the own-branded ones) are on 'everyday' pricing in M - which does help, as it means less change - it also makes M generally nearer to A (unless they pick something really expensive in there) - a benefit maybe of what M had to do to try to stem its recent lost market shares and profits etc.

Okay, I know I'm writing an essay about on-topic:laugh: money-saving stuff, rather than being involved in the significant so-called 'small' talking again!:rotfl::rotfl:
