There are other alternatives, e.g. a bracelet. Seem to be quite a few emerging on the market since I looked a few years ago

I agree with others, seeing for yourself may take some of the anxiety away.

Good suggestion PN. Dad appears to have had a good day today - interacting like his former self at times, and much more alert.

I've booked train tickets down in 3 weeks' time so will see then. Until then, I'm OK I think

Ok. Update.

Really pleased to hear that they seem to have focused on you and your specific elements - and that you found it an overall positive experience. Hope they keep it up - sounds promising.

Woke up, daylight. "It must be Saturday morning".

Then I started wondering, so in the end I did: 'time and date now' in Google .... ah, it's still Friday evening

I thought it was Friday evening last night. When it got to about midnight, I suddenly realised that I had to be in work this morning, and that I'd better put the light out!!

I sat next to someone I fancied rotten throughout the first year at Uni. Even sent him a V Day card (I'm sure he never knew it was me)

He now works at another office of my organisation and is peripherally on a project with me. It was very weird hearing his voice on a telephone call a couple of weeks ago, for the first time in 20+ years :cool:

In other news, I have cracked open a bottle of wine and made up some butterscotch Angel Delight. I shall have it with home-grown raspberries. Let nobody say I don't know how to live :beer:

My favourite flavour! I tend to buy 2 butterscotch and one strawberry as something at the back of my head tells me I should be preferring strawberry...but I don't.

It HAS to be butterscotch. Yummmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. About the only thing I have in common with Simon Cowell.

Nikkster

Yeah, I wouldn't consider any other flavour of AD than Butterscotch. Unless maybe next-door-desk-neighbour

Yorkie1

Oh that was just soooooo good (yes it was a supermarket own brand).

I ate it all.

On the plus side, it was skimmed milk :T

I used to like the choc flavour too. When I had a friend to tea, my mum would make up a packet of choc AD and decorate it with little blobs of whipped cream and halved glace cherries.

<sighs in happy reminiscence>

So sorry to hear the news, Gen. Thinking of you and your family.

Yorkie So glad your DDad sounds better

lir How cute that kiwi grins, bless him. Any chance of a pic?

PN And it's STILL Friday evening!

Sorry, but that's a fat fail ...

AD can ONLY be made with proper milk. These days that's blue top; we had silver top in the 60s/70s and I'm sure that was creamier than blue top....

Red/green top milk is the work of the devil.

What about gold top I think Waitrose do a full cream Jersey milk.
