Whey hey Liz had a phone call today offering me half the cost of a new passport, I told them that as I had gone out to look for my stolen bag and other things and was not being a liar and saying I had to claim for them I thought that £81.25 was letting them off very lightly and I finally talked them into covering the whole cost. I won. Elaine. :-D :-D :-D ;-)

I will remember that Elaine, I am sorry you have had such bad luck with them.

Are you not insured on your household insurance for a new passport? If I was you I would make a complaint to the Ombudsman about being missold the insurance if it's not fit for purpose

Hope your knee is better now, take care of yourself

love

No Liz and the darned insurance company who the Bank advised me to go with 10 years ago for my cards and passport will not pay out for my new passport. I have since found out that it was money down the drain. I wouldn't care but I have saved them paying out for new bag, purse, and passport holder by going out and finding my stolen ones myself. Do not insure with Sentinal Gold for cards etc. Elaine.

Hi Elaine,

I am not sure if Joyce is looking at the threads or not at the mo, I spoke with Sheila yesterday and Joyce seems to be plodding on and not doing so badly. hope I can chat with her myself soon, but had lots going on with me too

Hope you have got over the burglary now, any leads from the things you found?

Sorry I have not been on for a while, I was burgled on the 12th October and it has been a nightmare. Just take one day at a time, if you can have patience with yourself. Do not try to push too hard, it will only tire you and when you're tired concentration goes. Many hugs. Elaine. <3 ;-)

Joyce, some of your writing is much better but try not to push yourself too hard and get stressed, it won't help. I hope you and Jan can have a nice weekend together after he has done the shopping, will you go with him today or stay home and leave him to it lol

Take care and will talk to you again when I get the chance, another week of o.h. off work, and then a week of earlies, what have I done to deserve that lol?

love to you and Jan

Joyce it's so good to see you are making a recovery. Just take things easy that's the best way, let the others do the worrying for the time being.

I managed to speak with Joyce last evening, just for a few minutes. She does forget odd words but sounds quite strong and I am sure things will improve if only she will stop worrying about the housework. Between her m.i.l. and Jan I am sure they can keep the house clean enough.

I reminded Joyce about the Christmas cards and she said she is going to try making some today, she laughed about your comment Huia so it shows she has been reading the thread and is happy that so many people have posted and sent good wishes etc.

It was very good to hear your voice Joyce, and to have a laugh between us again.

Just take things steady and do what you can when you can.

love and hugs
Lizxx

Joyce,, keep focused and take things a day at a time.
Remember that you have been very ill and now you are back home with Jan.
Please don't worry about the things that need doing, just try to concentrate on more positive things right now. Nobody wants you to be admitted back into hospital so will you try to relax and take things slowly. Sending big hugs to you right now. xxx

Joyce the housework doesn't matter that much, your m.i.l. will have kept on top of it for you while you were in hospital and Jan can do the minimum needed to keep it ok while you rest and recover more. You have to stop stressing about the way things are re the people in England and the way things are in Holland, you are with your husband and that's all that should matter. Your family in England wouldn't have the time to come and clean for you with all they have to do for themselves and I can tell you now, carers in UK and home helps (do they still exist?) don't do cleaning, you would have to pay for that yourself out of your own money. That's the way it was for my Mum in 1995 when she had to live downstairs and use a commode in the hall because there wasn't enough sheltered housing and she had to pay someone privately to come in and clean - I did what I could but was working and looking after my son on my own, and it was a big three bed house with years of clutter in and a bed in the lounge.

So lady, just concentrate on looking after your health and well being and Jan's too where you can, so you don't get worse again and end up back in hospital. It's good to see you back on here but start to think positively and take your time with things, instead of being all of a splutter as my Mum used to say

We all want you to be the old Joyce again so come on, take each day as it comes and STOP WORRYING!

Love and hugs

Lizxx

((((hugs)))) Dutch, try not to get upset. If Jan doesn't have time to get housework done, don't worry, as long as you both get to eat, sleep and wash, the rest can wait .
