Morning everyone

talk about doom and gloom the weather is turning that way. I tried to find someone on the interent to buy a new matress I usually go for Silent Night lol none near me all hard to get too.

I had a nice surpise yesterday my daughter phoned she said are you going to buy a new printer/copier ? I said yes even though mine is but 17 months old I paid nearly £100 for this Kodak and have had nothing but trouble with it.. it has out run its guarantee.and I have trouble with the usb plug it is lose. she said good I have brought you a new printer. will bring it over the first chance I get.

I had trouble with my keyboard as the lettering started to vanish
have you tried typing with 7 tabs with no lettering on ?
so I wrote to Microsoft and told them I had it just over a year. they were very nice and said it was their latest and should not have occured. they sent me a new keyboard and I returned my other one free post so they could examine it and see why that happened..
My son laughs at me when I write and complain. I said it is because I grew up where people expected things to be serviceable and last a few years not a few months.
I must admit they were really wonderful and give them a pat on the back for their service.

Linda you and your parents are in my thoughts, praying for a good outcome for you all.
It seems strange for us all, when our roles as children become the roles of parent, to our own parents. And it can be a very heartbreaking experience, having to make decisions for our elders, instead of the other way round.
It broke my heart when I had to get my Mum a care home, but she was a danger to herself and others around her.
She had always been my guiding light, and here was I, having to make decisions about how she was going to spend the rest of her life.
It hurt both of us at first, but she was cared for in the hours that I would not have been able to help her.
I do hope that they can sort Dad out as soon as possible, seeing him malnourished must have been a big shock to you, but stay strong love.

Good luck to all our friends who are having to go to the dentists today.

Checked all my gear for our trip to Scotland, nothing needs repairing, broomstick all primed, ready for the off so I am.

Bye for now folks. Love Mo xxx

Hmm yes, sounds like a few things need to be replaced Rita. Marilyn likes shopping, just send her the money and she'll get the job done.

Do we have to go green for Halloween? (poet and don't know it!)

I don't suit green, it makes me look ill. Maddie, I'm not sure your avatar will look quite as pretty with a green face either.

Linda, I think the sooner your parents are in a good home - the better it'll be for all of you. They both need looking after, they obviously can't look after themselves any more. I hope it gets sorted soon.

Shelly, your kids just love your company too much, you'll never get rid of them :-D :-D

I hope Pat took a brolly with her!

Rita,

Looks like your place needs a '60 Minute Make Over' :-D :-D :-D :-D :-D

Isn't it strange how everything seems to need replacing at the same time :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S :-S

We spent a long time choosing our mattress. And that has paid dividends.
A good nights rest is worth a Kings Ransom. :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-) :-)

Some of the best nights I've had has been spent on a bed of Heather in the mountains. It moulds itself to your body contours. Magic ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-) ;-)

Morning it is strange coming in this way as you can miss the page before' s chat
. Linda I am sorry to hear about your parents. it is true warfarin if given too much makes your blood run like water. I have had this twice and the hospital have phoned me and told me to leave my tablets off for one day sometimes two.it needs to clot so that should you cut yourself you will not lose alot of blood.
I was told by the private nurse I see once a month. that they have another drug coming out which will stop all the problem we have with warfarin. in other words we will not need to check so often about the blood tests and we can eat food we can no longer eat when on Warfarin. they have not offered me it yet.?
At the moment I am not having a good time sleep what is it ? I toss and turn all night long. I think I need to buy a new mattress. also having trouble with my fridge freezer. need a new one. even my vacumne cleaner is falling to pieces..
never mind.
hope you all have a good day.
