    Not posted this because I couldn't til I felt I could :embarasse :o

    Wednesday 4th April phone call when I was in bed mum fell it was around 10-20pm.

    Gets clothes on and runs round Mum she flat on her face couldn't lift her she in agony.

    Rang bro he had had a drink so couldn't drive. Me get a taxi then :mad: and hung up. No bro arrived :mad:

    NHS ambulance switchboard :mad: twice told me ambulance on its way 2am it arrived. One came and they had to get another so 4 paramedics could get mum turned and on stretcher and carried down to ambulance . Couldn't fault paramedics :A

    3-15am I get home tried sleep couldn't

    Thursday was at hospital around 7-30am mum still in A
    &E. She broke her hip :(

    She had also dislocated her shoulder but lovely ambulance lady had put that back in :A

    I went work after.

    Been visiting mum in hospital every day til Thursday.

    Went Wednesday and got told they taking her to care home that affy so I came home to see to my :A

    Sat here waiting for them to ring saying mum been picked up and on way to care home so I could ring care home and ask for list clothes etc she needed so I could pick them up on way.

    Gets to 10pm I went bed didn't sleep woke early Thursday and was ringing hospital in tears trying to find my mum :mad: Told them what I thought about not ringing to let me know.

    Transport didn't turn up so they took mum and put her on a ward ready for transport pick up later that morning. They would ring me I said heard that one before.

    Later gets phonecall mum on her way.

    I ring carehome and ask for list and call at mums and packs stuff on list. Then walks to care home on hottest day of year with my heavy bags .

    Gets there mum sat in chair in a lounge room didn't really know who I was or anything :(

    So I leave her after spending an hour with her and somehow got to Tesco and did a shop came home and broke down Poppy helped me by licking me :A

    Bro said he would pick me up after work and take me see mum again glad I went because she was looking better to me. Bro said she looked awful.

    That night I slept 10 hours without waking and went work.

    Bro picked me up from work and we went visiting and we walked in and :eek: mum was sat there in wheelchair at table with others playing bingo :)

    Went yesterday and today and mum can stand unless staff help her but cant walk plus her memory is bad.

    I will be going after work tomorrow visiting is 1pm til 8pm .

    Oh so sorry to read this xxxxx
    I did wonder why you wasnt at mum's today as i asked earlier.
    I am glad she is alot better than she was, its early days and hope she recovers quickly xx

    The Whiskas "special project" is underway. But which of the 12x100g packs are on offer? I am looking at msm and m.com and, as a result, see what I mean - I can't simply assume it is all of them and put them all on the list and I am also not prepared to assume that online is necessarily the same as instore: the different packs have to be carefully checked individually. There is no shortcutting as attempts to shortcut in my past experience have usually failed.

    I have two on msm/m.com showing full price and the rest on offer. I can see that 2-12 mths, which is the styling in M, is one and the same as Kitten.

    It's simple for me according to my pedantic approach - I have Kitten Fish in Jelly and Kitten Poultry in Gravy. But not Kitten Poultry in Jelly. So easy to slip up!:rotfl: But no - I have avoided that trap, as if they try to make me fall into it, and I shall just take the ones I have from onstore, which will be the £3 ones. Having done that, and not just Kitten versions obviously, the rest must indeed be full price - as showing on msm and m.com.

    If I have not got it written down, I have not seen it saying £3 (which is the offer price) instore. It looks like I have everything saying £3 online and neither of the two versions that are showing full price there (which I would know nothing about).

    I regularly send parcels to Germany, and used to pay silly money with Royal Mail. Then I discovered https://www.parcel2go.com
    I use the hermes option, but there are loads to choose from, some guarantee 48 hours I think. I pay online, print a label, then drop the parcel off at the nearest parcel shop. The parcel usually gets there within a few days, and you can track it all the way.


    Good afternoon, lovely Elite :wave:

    Thanks, I am having a look at this x

    tweets, sorry to hear about your mum but it sounds like she has begun settling in, she may end up enjoying living there x
