tweets, I have been skim reading so if I have gaps please ignore me. When trying to promote mobility in elderly patients when recovering from operations, it is quiet routine to 'walk' the person down the corridor (or where there is space). Usually this is two members of staff holding them up, and encouraging them to use their legs... it can take a long time dependent on the persons health/mobility but also their willingness to walk. It does sound as if she is making progress which is great.



I totally agree. Slap your brother hard. Make sure you take regular days off from visiting. The home should have social activities that she can participate in.... she may never want to leave (many people hate the idea of a home, but when they have to go temporarily they don't want to leave). x

This is what happened to my pap, he used to go to give my mum respite and when they were away on holiday then one day he said i want to stay here, dont want to go home so he did and wa very happy:T:T

Tweets, you need to give your brother a slap. A bloody great big hard one too. I'm in the same position as you with my brothers and parents, I do everything. I cut their grass, plant their plants, deal with hospital appointments and admissions, sort their money out, everything. My brothers between them help with the sum total of naff all. But they are both fast enough to moan at me if there is something I don't do. I can't win so now I just do it. I've tried and tried and tried to get the boys to do their bit but my pleas just fall of deaf ears

Well that is unusual - not only it is unusual to have an approximate £85 vs £82 comparable bill and therefore £10.79 APG:j, they also used a discount card and got approximately £15 off, but the prices have appeared without the discount:rotfl:.

I'd been getting a few pence on each receipt:( and I thought this receipt was going to be hopeless but it's probably the best one I've ever had! I still lose out though, as if the discount card hadn't been used, as they've failed to pick up the 4 pack Sweetcorn Cobettes at M this time - even on full price vs full price and the 70p Aubergine does not compare against M (loose aubergine available in M at 50p) - the collection system is hopeless on fruit & veg. - so 'should' have been an additional 40p and taking me into £11+ which would have been the best womble I've ever had (I've never had any receipt other than my own give £11 or more).

There is no general glitch on the colleague discount cards. I've just tried another receipt from today, which was shopped for less than 10 minutes before the one that's given the big amount, but I've happened to check it later, and it did come back with the discount prices and no APG. I've rechecked the one with the £10.79 and it is locked in and still coming back with the same amount - first checked before the receipt in between that has taken the discount into account.

Just hope I don't go to the till and the checkout operator notices it as their own receipt:rotfl:.

Of course £10.79 is hopeless really as, if it were shopped for properly, it should have been at least £85 versus a competitor bill of half of that, so should have been an APG of at least £44:rotfl:. It looks good, but in the light of £10.79 "should" be at least £44, it isn't:rotfl::rotfl:. They have bought at least one item, on non-discount prices, that is more than 10% cheaper than M so that should have not been bought and the APG would therefore have been even better. So, all of these womble shops, even where they give "good" (or even "excellent") APGs, they should have been far far more than what they were!

Oh tweets:o

Super sleuth indeed. You need eyes in the back of your head:o

Clearly mam has to be well enough to come home. You keep a close eye on things and stand firm if you don't think she's well enough or you will end up as a full time career if she's not fullly mobile

Did we all get our Lidl crisps today. Big bags for 37p.
