Just popping in to say that the intubation through the nose and measures from the err, bottom, have resulted in Mr Sl managing to move the earth overnight (twice!). He has literally just messaged me. My Mum (nearly 96) has been praying for this. I confess I asked for divine intervention after five days of no hospital improvements.
And I sincerely thank each of you for the well-wishes. You have no idea how much it means to both of us. I will stop there. The tears of relief are coming now xSave £12k in 2025 #2 I am at £10,020.92 out of £6000 after September
OS Grocery Challenge in 2025 I am at £2234.63/£3000 or 74.49% of my annual spend so far (not going to be much of a Christmas at this rate as no spare after 9 months!
