No mine is fine Allan. I have decided to forgive you, in the same way your OH forgives you. That means that I will store your indiscretion up for future use.

No problem with reply button, but have been kicked off twice and had to sign in again tonight.

Tec

Typical of the sisterhood Allan,
saving things for future use against you

Tec

Goodevening / morning everyone
I have been inundated with pm's from all you lovely people that it has took me an hour to post on here, thank you all for your E-mail addy's.

CC I pay £9-95p every six month's so when I return it will only cost me the same.

Berona would you like to come and have a clear out at mine, it would probably take you a couple of week's though lol.

Sue I'm glad to hear you are feeling much better hun.

Thank you Libby for letting us now how Alison is as we all think a lot of her, hope she is not in to much pain and that she is comfortable, I will continue to remember her in my prayer's.

Allan you are on top form tonight lol.

Tec don't get to cold hun do as I have done, put your dressing gown on on top of your clothe's, it is very cold here too.

Diane

Linda sorry forgot to say I recieved your E-mail and will get round to answering when I get time hun.

Diane

Hello Diane

I don't think that Linda would agree with you about me being in fine form.

Linda is probably working on the following

"How many men does it take to paper a wall?......It depends on how thinly you slice them!"

Allan

Very good Allan,
I am off now, so I am leaving Allan in your capable hands Diane.

Bye Linda

Regards

Allan

PMSL Allan, at least even when I'm unable to post I can still have a laugh when I get time to check this thread at all the thing's you are all saying.

Diane

Thank's Linda ( I don't think ) lol
Goodnight hun stay warm and well

Diane

Hi Diane. Glad you haven't gone yet. OK, I'll come and sort your place out for you. I might have to sort out your neighbour first though. I don't like my sleep to be interrupted. Also, it takes me a while - and I have to sit comfortably while I do it - then spread it all out somewhere and organise it into groups, etc. That's my problem - I just can't move things around where they are - I have to make a big project of it - and it's very tiring!

Hi Diane,

How are you?
I think the cold is due to the wind coming down the Mersey and blowing over the Welsh hills - so it's your fault:))

Goodnight Linda, sleep well - keep warm

Tec

Hi Berona I am around until the 20th ( I think ), it take's me a whole day and more when I decide to clear my bedroom as most of my life is packed into this room. I have lived in this flat for over 7yrs and because it is so small I have nowhere to put all the thing's in my bedroom to clear it so that I can decorate it. When my son move out ( for all of 3dys ) I was going to move my bedroom furniture into his room so that I could do it but because he came back I am back to square one. I'm not saying I don't want him here but he could at least have stayed away long enough for me to have decorated it lol.

Diane

Diane,
Is your break from work still on? from March 2 I think

Tec

Diane - take advantage of your son being there! Use his muscles to help you move the furniture into his room. Bad luck for him if he has to climb over furniture to get into bed for a while. It won't hurt him! He possibly would be more inconvenienced if he lived somewhere else - so don't be soft - use him!

I know Tec everything is MY FAULT at the moment lol.
After haveing to call the police to check on my dad and ringing social services to call and also the Dr to see him, social services rang me and said they had spoken to my dad and he said to them he didn't need any help from them and he had called his Dr surgery to cancel the visit I had arranged, I wonder why I bother worrying about him, and when he rang me last night and said I had put a lot of people to a lot of trouble I was none to pleased with him. This all came about after a phone call to me from him on Monday night when he said he had got up that morning and didn't know how to make his breakfast and couldn't remember were thing's were, I asked him many question's he should have known like, who is your Dr, what is the name of neighbour who keep's an eye on you, and were would he find phone number's for different people, all of which he couldn't answer. I told him I would ring him the next day to see if he was alright, when I rang the next day I couldn't get an answer so that was why I did all the thing's I did, so if all that was a waste of time and it was as far as my dad was concerned ( all my fault ) so be it lol.

Diane

A memory lapse like that is a worry. You did right in what you did, so don't be upset about it. You will no doubt do or say more things which he won't agree with. Sounds like he should be somewhere where professional people can watch him. Has he considered this? If he won't, he needs someone to talk to him to convince him it would be the best way to go.

Diane, If that had happened to my parents I would have done exactly the same thing. Also, it the situation was reversed and I gave either my son or daughter cause for concern I would hope that they would also ask someone to check on me.

I know it's your Dad and comes on top of everything else, but just try to shrug your shoulders and don't beat yourself up about it.

Remember....."me" time!

Allan

Diane I think what you did re your dad was the correct and responsible thing that anyone would do in similar circumstances. If something had gone terribly wrong, and you had done nothing, then you would never forgive yourself.
Sometimes elderly people, "play up" and I don't mean any dis-respect by that, but it happens. If you are separated by distance, how are you to know? What you did was the right thing to do.
It could well be that your dad does need some attention, but is too proud to admit it. A very difficult position for you to be in with your work committments and the distance involved.
So it's not your fault is it?

Tec

Sorry Tec you asked how I was, if going round the bend is fine then I'm fine thank's lol.

Oh Berona, if you could see my son's room you would never had surgested that lol. His room is 15ft x 8ft and is jammed packed with his thing's, he has a double bed and wardrobe in it, a computor corner unit, Tv and stand and all his electricle equipment, e.g DVD player, CDplayer, HiFi not to mention his vast collection of cd's dvd's and video's, and he has a large collection of toy car's in plastic storidge boxes which he keep's under his bed, The problem with this flat is I moved into it from a 3bed house that had 2 reception room's, and this flat has only 1 liveing room and 2 bedroom's and I dont have the storidge space here that I had in the house. The only way it can be done is if I put most of my stuff in the liveing room which would mean it would be out of use while I did my bedroom.
