Hi everyone
Have a safe journey Marilyn and Peter. Hope the roads are OK, you might be wise to be going a day early.
Pauline thank you for forwarding Rita's wedding pictures.They are lovely and it is so nice that we are all sharing them, makes us get them out again ourselves too.
Hubby has arthritus in his knees.He is on strong painkillers and rest for a week.It is going up and down all the steps onto the aircraft all day at work. I've got a cold compress in the freezer right now, and he has exercises from the Dr too.
Dad is home again, another change of medication. Mum is very anxious and angry too, all to do with the dementia. My sister says she can't cope again if he goes away too soon. So I have suggested that she talks to all the care involved................ social worker, Dr, resident warden and carers ............ about getting a respite plan ready in case. I do think that they may both need to go into a care home for their own safety too. Neither one will cope without the other. But Dad is very much against this at the moment, but then he doesn't see her when he is away.

Went and got shopping in today, while hubby was able to drive. The shop was quiet. Now only need a few fresh things for Christmas, even have the Gammon for Christmas Eve and Boxing Day. Got several bottles of Cravendale milk, it's good til January, just in case I can't get out. I have 2 small gifts still to find, hoping to get into Bracknell tomorrow for them. There is a brand new Next store and I hope they have what I need.

Maddie I have new wellies bought this summmer at a country show.Usually have problems as I have chubby calves and boots won't go over them But these were good........... snug but at least I can get them on. Stephen would approve as they are pink with blue in a tartan(plaid) pattern, Very trendy eh !!

Catch you all tomorrow.
Oh well done Mo, and you were worried

Linda :o) XxX

I remember my 1st, and only, pair of hot pants. They were navy blue, (probably) polyester, and made by Ladybird. I was about 10, and I thought I was so cool:)

Linda I am sorry to hear of your OH's knee problems. It's good that dad is home again. Perhaps mum will be able to settle a little bit now.
It's so hard having to face the facts, that our parents need a care home.
I went through so much guilt over my mum, but I could not cope,and she was becoming a danger to herself,and all the other people in the sheltered housing where she lived.
