    Well it is Saturday tomorrow and you are expected to be on duty :p

    Enjoy your mum tomorrow. She's still your mum even if she forgets it sometimes and it's hard for you ;) xx

    Ive had a very low key Christmas, just OH, me and the 3 kids. The kids got mostly what they wanted, Ive had respite from the real world and all is calm.

    Tomorrow its back to the fore, my mother has drifted into the twilight world that is dementia and it will be back to dealing with that, but today has been a good, simple family day and I am thankful.

    Oh and I must admit to 3 glasses of fizz tonight.

    Oh Ellie I feel for you and your mum. Dementia is so soul destroying and does does become harder to cope with as the dementia progresses. My mum drifted into the twilight and to begin with things didn't change.

    A few years later rolls were reversed, I was the mother and she the daughter. A visit to Felixstowe beach, stoney as it was brought squeals of girlish delight as the water rushed over the pebbles and washed over her feet. It's a day I'll never forget and a photo hangs on my wall in memory of that day.
    There's no place like home :)

    Feeling down? Weak in body? Makes no difference to me, I think of you all when I'm sitting quietly.

    Hugs and healing thoughts are always going your way.

    You sound like you had a good day!

    Happy Christmas to everyone. I hope you all had a good day. I did :D everyone was happy and enjoyed themselves and they are carrying on festivities whilst I am 'resting'. I haven't felt 100% but I've so enjoyed seeing everyone else being happy. Not ashamed to admit that in the end not much money saving has gone here this year. it was extravagant and indulgent.

    V......a present story....

    I have one of these that I got at a much reduced price in a Naafi about 20 years or so ago

    You'll know how much they cost :eek:

    It was unearthed during a recent de-clutter having being shuffled around for years due to me not wanting to pay £70/£80 for a refill :eek:

    So when I opened one of my pressies and saw a Chanel gift bag this morning I obviously nearly wet my pants :rotfl::rotfl: So I opened it and it contained this

    Ok wrong perfume but easy man mistake? (even though he says he fished the box out to order :huh: one is black and one is white....even if you can't read :p:D ) No worries I think, I'll just slot the No.5 into the Coco dispenser. WRONG! :eek: the No.5 has a bigger skoosher :eek: it didn't fit.
    So when he went to make breakfast I popped the skoosher off the old 20 year old bottle and swapped it with the new one and it fitted and it works :j he has no idea he bought the wrong one.
    He has never bought me something so nice unaided....ever! :o kind of made my day.

    Not up to date with emails.....I will be tomorrow

    Hope you're not in next doors garden tweets but if you are at least we are smelling nice ;):D

    Good Morning fairclaire :)

    I am not in next doors garden thank god because its still chucking it down :(

    Lovely perfume what a nice surprise even if it is the wrong one .

    Good morning tweets, I'm getting an Amazon voucher too :j from ds4. He bought me chocs and a lovely camomile bath/shower set, he said he couldn't find the Amazon vouchers so has given me the money to get one :)

    He said for kindle books too but knows me so well, I don't buy books all mine have been free so far :cool: :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

    DH is in the kitchen prepping veg for the 8 of us today, bless him, he'll be in the kitchen for hours as he is chief cook and bottle washer.

    Windy here but no rain :j I'm taking sis in law to her other brother this morning. We had a night and a half with her last night :eek: but that's another story :mad:

    Off to get my coffee :)
    There's no place like home :)
