Thanks, my theory is they don't like a title without a Mr/Mrs ? Account with just initial and surname invalid ? Would yours appear this way please aau ? Tia xx

I've always done first name/last name. I can't remember if I do titles but I don't see why I wouldn't (every account is set up with a different family member's bank account)

Good morning all.
I started the day with a laugh. My big black cat sneaked upstairs to say good morning. She ventured into the ensuite and found the cupboard under the sink open. She tried to climb into it (she is big, cupboard is small), and happened to touch a scrubbing brush. The reaction was hilarious. She shot backwards, all puffed up, then crept slowly forwards, raised a paw, and hit the brush about six times in rapid succession. She then sat back, looked at me and mewed, as if to say 'you're safe now, I've killed it', and proceeded to have a wash.:rotfl::rotfl:
Here she is, cuddled up with the two siamogs, an unusual event, cos she is an unsociable so and so:)



My happy mood was shattered when I went downstairs to find the sink and draining board crammed with DH and DS2's dinner debris from last night. We have just got a new dishwasher, AND they know how to use it:mad:.

D came home from hospital yesterday. We had to provide a divan bed after they decided he wasn't ill enough to warrant them providing the hospital bed that they had said he needed.
We had been told he was coming home via hospital transport, then they phoned Mum to ask when she was picking him up!!
His medication was labelled with the tiniest writing you can imagine, so I had to write out a legible list, and label boxes and bottles. There is a complicated regime of reducing doses of some items, confusing without proper concentration. How do they expect him or Mum to work that out, both elderly, he is ill, and she is forgetful. Anyway, sorted now, hopefully.
The social services carer did arrive last night, but reiterated that it is only for 3 weeks, then he has to have a financial assessment and probably pay for agency carers.:mad: All he has is his pension, but I suppose as my Mum has some money she will have to pay.

Anyway enough of that. I'm off to visit VT this afternoon to work out our trips when we are on our cruise. A bit of light relief, which is direly needed ay the moment.

Something I found while browsing this morning. The Cherrygood 50p voucher is still available if you google it. You can print lots if you use our preferred method;):p It is on offer in W and T at 75p, but is £1 at A, so with the voucher you would pay 50p and get an apg back. Good as a filler item on a AvT or AvW.:D

Got to go.
Hope you all have a lovely day. It's warm and sunny here.

Love your kitties they are all gorgeous . Bet it was funny when brush scared blackie :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Mum and dad had a Siamese when I was a tot our Tammy a seal point he was lovely. But a little booger if you shouted at him for being naughty he got his own back by grabbing your heels when you least expected it :rotfl:

Enjoy your trip out with VT hope its :money:

A pic for you. DH is still madly photographing wildlife whenever he gets the chance. He saw this last night in the garden. It was almost dark, and he used a flash. didn't think it would come out, but it did.:D



It's a bit blurred at the edge, but the little devils move soooo fast.

Thanks tweets.
Forgot to say hearty congrats on your impressive weightloss hun, you've done sooo well.
My trip to VT will be mse, as long as we don't go out, or go online to book trips.
Siamese are very cheeky. I've always had them. These two are brother and sister, and are 14 years old now.
The big black one was brought home by DS2 for my birthday. She had been mistreated, so is very suspicious of things and people. if a stranger tries to touch her she raises a front paw to warn them off. If they don't heed the warning, watch out:eek:
Right, I really must go now

Caribbean...I've been reading your posts with interest...hugs to you for the situation that the family are now in,its not easy I know.
Several years ago we faced something similar with my mums husband...dont assume that because they are together that your mum has to face the financial burden of a care package,they can be assessed individually and if her partner is the main recipient of the care then the cost will be billed to him.It can be quite a complicated process but it goes on the standard sliding scale of income and assets so if he has less than £23k himself he would be entitled to reduced fees for care...this can be taken at home and will be worked out according to his needs.

Please try and get your mum to take a backseat with his care and not offer to say she will do it or they can manage....her way forward is one of comfort and support,not a hands on carer for her partner...yourself too.
What I would also say is try and get the ball rolling now with forward care as the interim care will probably tail off much quicker than the 3 weeks that its in place for and in someways its better to hand it from interim to other carers rather than being put in the position of you and your mum having to do it.

its a difficult time x
