Find Ancestors

OH spoke to his Dad who is adamant that as long as he can cope and help her to the loo there will be no carers.

I spent some time with his Mum (she was in bed where she spends most of the day not even a tv to pass the time) and she kept saying she wishes she was "gone".

At that point I tried to point out that she has a lot to be thankful for and that I wished my Mum was still here, that if she didn't take her meds they wouldn't so her any good etc etc.

She told me I was a "cheeky bu***r" (smiling as she said it) we have always been able to say anything to each other and not fall out if either of us thinks the other has overstepped the mark we simply say so :-)

Oh and siblings have given up any hope of getting her out of the house now, not been out for at least a couple of years - lost her confidence when she had a fall.

Sometimes when my boys have phoned (especially the one with the girls) she has put them off visiting. I really don't know what the answer is :-(

You're very welcome to it Dea............ <3



Sylvs, I'm walking a heck of a lot more than I used to, but I think that I too have reached an equilibrium. Hey Ho.......

My weight seems to be stuck at a certain point


I told my doctor last week, I seemed to have reached an equilibrium ....... up a lb, down a lb repeatedly


he agreed.


I'm trying to increase the amount I walk to see if that can help


However ..........


I'm the same weight today that I was when I saw him last week ............. it's been

up a lb, down a lb, up a lb, down .....................

Whatever weight it is Cynths - Can I have it ????????????????

Dea Xxx

Yay......have lost some weight....... not surprised if today was anything to go by!!

Have been busy since 11.30am.......totally crackered.

Are you back yet Linds ??

How did you get on ??

Dea Xxx

What very strange weather we have here nowadays ! :-S :-S

Dea Xxx

Ey Up~~~~

Well, it's not got any better, the weather I mean :-|

Rained all day and it still is pouring down

Hope you have good persuasive skills Linds :-)

I don't expect that it is going to be an 'easy' task Linds but I do hope it all goes well ! <3 <3 <3

Hello everyone,

Waiting on OH coming back from meeting his friend then we will head over to his parents.

Cynthia you are correct the problem is trying to convince the in-laws :-(

Good morning and thank you for the porridge Sylvs.... <3


Not an easy time for you Linds. Most folk want to maintain their independence to the bitter end, but it can be a hard journey. Most folk I know who have or have had carers in, have been glad of a different face to chat to. :-)


Off to see my health trainer soon..........despite the fact that I eat a healthy diet and exercise regularly, I'm not sure I've lost any weight.... :-( My doctor told me ages ago that, when you hit a certain age, it's very hard to shift the......er......um......bread basket!!! :-D


After that, I'm picking up the grandchildren and taking them out to lunch, so I may not be back until this evening........I'll play it by ear. ~~~

Good morning everyone :-)

A bit of a dull day here at the moment but I expect it will brighten up later.

I will have the Spanish omelette today I think and some of that lovely bacon.............

Thank you Sylvia <3 <3 <3

See you all later,

Dea Xxx

It is quiet on here tonight Cynthia have had two lots of visitors :-)

Also had a "peek" at some of the photos found some of my dear Mum x

Gins no it's not huge but we bought the stuff 9 years ago!! Hope you have had a rest now

He has finally got around to doing it well at least most of it.

I got our bedroom cleared today not got around to looking at the photos yet.

Tomorrow we are going over to see in-laws M-I-L not been too good really time to arrange for carers to come in daily but she is having none of it and my S-I-L is at the end of her tether.

She asked me to speak to her Dad cos he is struggling to cope and won't listen to her :-(

Quiet day on here today folks................................... :-S



You're certainly having a good spring clean come clearing out Linds.........will there be anything left?


Enjoy your time with the physio Sylvs............:-D


Went for a walk along the canal today. We don't need the car because we are so close, so it's handy.



It's just been raining really hard but no thunder or lightening :-(


Going for a browse to see what I've missed today......~~~~

It's a physio day today ............ so I'll see you all much much later
