We all need to be heard for a little while.

WaS, look at it another way. You say that if it weren't for you, WaSp would be able to care for Mil without jeopardising you. Well, flip it round! If it weren't for Mil, WaSp would be able to care for you without feeling guilty about Mil! But, you'll say, that last sentence is not fair! Course it isn't! But neither is the first sentence!

They're not either or, they're as well as! Both you and Mil need care. The fact that she's elderly doesn't makes her need for care any more valid than yours.
BIL, not you, is the spanner in the works here. It makes me sooo mad that he gets money for NOT doing what he's supposed to!
And lovely though MiL is, I could scream that she's so quick to refuse the help that makes it easier for all concerned! I thought that all these new freedoms she's been experiencing would have convinced her that the care package was a Good Thing.

Please stick to your guns. You're quite right.....WaSp cannot go back to the constant driving.... He'll end up unable to look after either of you!

:A :A :A

WaS, do not feel guilty or like you are a spanner in the works, because you are not. Sounds like the BIL needs to pull his finger out. WaSp can't be in two places at once....he'll run himself into the ground if he tries that.

dragonette, so sorry things are hard at the moment Hope you enjoy your friends birthday. Take care of yourself x x

Tea, enjoy the snooker! Excellent idea from code about "going somewhere the next morning"! When I was 8, we went to Pontins, and my Dad pointed out this guy and said to go and get his autograph. It was Silvino Francisco. I'd never heard of him!

Sorry if I've missed anyone, this thread moves fast sometimes!

Hope everyone has a nice relaxing evening! xx

We've booked to go to London on the 20th of this month for two nights. We doing an afternoon tea, theatre and a speedboat ride down the Thames! I'm actually surprised that DH agreed to the boat, as he's not good on water....he came off his brothers fishing boat greener than Kermit!

We wanted to do the afternoon tea on a London Bus, but it's booked up well in advance. So we're doing the Charlie and the Chocolate Factory one instead!

The kind of shows we usually like are WWRY and Rock of Ages (but they aren't on anymore), we weren't sure what to go and see, so we decided on Phantom of the Opera in the end. I've always wanted to see it and think I'll like it, but I'm not sure if it's really our cup of tea?

Georgie, I saw Phantom some years ago. Believe me, seeing it live in a theatre is a world above seeing it on the TV or whatever!

It was very good. You will enjoy it!

I've always wanted to see Phantom, have a fab time!

Loved WWRY

I've seen Phantom and it is good. I think Jersey Boys is better though.

Years ago, my Mam had a Andrew Lloyd Webber musicals cd, I used to love listening to that, so I think I will enjoy it. I love anything really dramatic!

WWRY was awesome! Think I saw it 6-7 times! Then again, I am a big Queen fan!

I would go and see Jersey Boys, I've seen clips and it looks good. I don't think DH would go to that though. I'm surprised he's agreed to Phantom!

Just watching a Louis Theroux programme about mental health in the states with people who've committed serious crimes. Somewhat bizarrely one person, amongst various others diagnoses, had one of malingering.
That can't possibly be considered a mental health condition, even in the States?

Just seen that on another thread, and thought it was very appropriate.

A possible mantra for you, Tea, in one of your low moments?
