    You're doing great! Of course you are :)



    Meal planning now and shopping once there sounds good - that's what we used to do with my mum when we all rented a holiday place in Norfolk.

    Crying with laughter as I accidently quoted NHS's positive comment about buying MIL a kettle and said 'it means so much to me'... When I meant to quote that she likes my videos - that means so much to me!! OOOPS!!


    Anyway a 'Non day' here. I went to my friends and things were not good, spent my lunch hour and most of the late afternoon there so she could go to the doctors and got things a little more manageble for her at home. I got our other few friends involved for when I'm away next week. Life is so tough for some and I wish I could help more.

    Thank you this is so kind!!:A Yes it wasn't a nice thing to wake up to.

    I was chatting with a pupil about filming (I am doing a little teaching via video at the moment) and she has given me loads of advice with contouring and lighting etc.

    If in doubt, ask a teenager :rotfl:

    It's a worry that she doesn't ask for help I just turn up and :eek: Changes the relationship but got to keep on helping until she sends me away I guess.:o

    My word, earthie, you have a full plate - needs must, right now, from the sound of it. Love that you're asking a teenage pupil about the videos, you're spot on :D

    I do love a caravan break :) We're considering one for this year. Enjoy!

    Is your friend receiving all the help she can get from the authorities/NHS/charities etc.? Or is it not that sort of help? Sorry, I know you don't want to go into details, just thought I'd check she's at least down to get help if there is any available, even if it's a waiting game until she gets to the top of the list.

    I'll let you know how we get on - we have stayed in smaller independent caravan parks before but not a big one - this was very cheap with the sun holidays promotion. Really looking forward to getting away from it all.

    She would get help if she wanted but she doesn't want to. I've messaged her yesterday and today but she's not replying, hopefully just busy/ill and not just wanting me to go away although I can see it's going to get like that unfortunately.
