Morning Ladies.
Well I just got stuck in my en suite!!!!.I only locked the door because OH was out with the dog and son fast asleep,and the back door open.I didn't even have my book with me.I had visions of being sat on the loo wrapped in a towel for about an hour!!!!!!!!Luckily I tried once more and it turned.It was about 20 minutes.That little song came into my mind Three old Ladies got stuck in the Lavatory. LOL

Morning All,

Oh my god I have gone back so many pages.....cant do that again !!

All I have told my family about my death is keep me longer than normal before they bury me just to make sure I'm dead.
Or I'll be pushing up them daisies before they know it ..LOL

I'm back on my own, sister went back yesterday still feeling dizzy ,she is going to see a doctor tomorrow.
Anyway I have done my bit......

Arctic.... my sister found a 1/1/2 inch whisker on her chin and blamed me for not seeing it !! she was in my bedroom and yelled out MARILYN come quick, I thought she had a dizzy spell ....flew in and all she said was
wheres your tweezers look what I have found .....!! Mind you it was very fair.LOL

Got the grand kids coming today never a dull moment ....so put the flags out tomorrow I can have my life back again.LOL
Speak later...this is just to let you know I'm still alive !!
Hi Helen X

Morning all, good to see you back Lorraine.

Glad you've informed them all Marilyn!

Helen, my en suite (i'm very posh u know!) is only used by me and my daughter, I don't let my hubby use it. I have a miniature library in there almost and all sorts of pots of creams and potions for moisturising, fake tanning and exfoliating ...generally all feminine and nice. We don't allow 'man smells' in there!

We had a lovely day on the broads yesterday, lucky with the weather too. ☼

Got company coming in a while, so be back later...got to trim me whiskers!!! LOL!

Pam. ☺ xx

Hi Lorraine ,so glad you have decided to stay.

Hello to familysearcher (Lorraine ,nice to meet you.)

Hi Pam, Helen, Marilyn.
Being a hoiliday monday there's no day care for dad, so he's at a lost end, so I decided when he called to get all his old photo albums out and we have spent the last 40mins going through them.
when He comes down again in about an hours time or could be less. I will just keep showing them again. It's better than the going over the same old questions or the deathly silence we have.

I now have the idea of going on Amazon and buying some books with lots of pictures showing the old days from his home town . He has no concentration left to read novels or cowboys storries any more but like all dementia sufferer's he will look at pictures books.

I have tried other books from other counties . but because he does'nt reconise the places he gets board very quickly.

Hi Familysearcher.
yes it's hard work. looking after the elderly.
I have a friend at work she's about 40ish, I have known her for the last 10 years, anyway she and her partner have 3 children, 2 girls and 1 boy, eldest girl is about 12 and her name is Daisy.
daughter no 2 is 10 and her name is Poppy, and when she was expecting her last child ,all her friends teased her and said if it's another girl are you going to call it Rosie, but it turned out to be a boy and they named him Sonny, even then we thought it a strange name calling your son Sonny.

Just think back a long time ago the older generation used to say"Come here sonny " or whats your name sonny and his reply would be sonny.

The weather is pants( as I think they say nowadays) lol.Have just put the heating on!!
I remember doing the photos thing with Mum to pass the time I could not have any sensible conversations with her any longer.It was quite enjoyable as she would talk about the people in the photos,especially her old school pals and long lost rellies.I would also get her holiday Albums out but she she would say well I know I must have been there because I am in the pictures but I can't remember going there.In 2000 Mum my sister and I went on a Med Cruise.It was very hard going for us as Mum had no idea where we were and we daren't take ours eyes of her for a second.The morning we left the ship I found her in tears as she thought someone had stolen all her belongings.We had to put the cases outside the cabin doors the evening before.I explained that we were going home,but she thought we had just arrived!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Going back to whiskers...mum used to have her chin waxed right up till the age of 82/83.!!!!! She was very particular about her appearance.

Oh dear Helen. My MIL shocked us one day by admitting to an affair . We thought she was just rambling, but when we mentioned this to her brother - told it was true. Mmmm, what more can I say LOL

HELLO EVERYBODY

Did you miss me yesterday? No! Well!

OH was having a paddy - re the amount of time I spend on 'puter etc etc and that no HW is getting done - well if it offtends his eye he can bl@@dy well do it himself! Told him to get a life! LOL

Whats this I have just read Helen has put the heating on! You having a cold flush Helen? Mind you I am snug as a bug in my fleecy dressing gown I got from "him" for Christmas, its sooooo lovely and warm and sooo cosy. But what a change from yesterday, typical bank holiday weather!

Right am going to go over the threads to see if there is anything I should be concerend about. lol

Have fun!
Tina xx

Helen
talking of holidays,
First year dad was on his own we decided we would take him to the South of France with us , we rented a Villa , both daughters were with us too.
so we got one with a swimming pool.
we had the idea of a villa because there would be just us , not like a hotel where there's lots of people and if dad wanted to get up in the night, then he would only be disturbing us. also we could cook our own meals at the time we wanted suitable for the girls to.
Anyway(this holiday was before we reconised dad had dementia) He complained about the food all the time , we cooked through the day, and went out for evening meals, because I wanted to see the area and of course you want to dress up a bit,
He would wander off on his own if we didn't watch him , we spent the whole time watching him,and not the kids.
I could'nt get any peace to wander round the shops on my own , he followed me around like a puppy even though OH tried to keep him busy.
and at night when we sat by the pool enjoying a glass of wine he kept going round the villa checking windows ,doors about a dozen times a night.
It was a nightmare. at the airport on our way home he would'nt ssettle and wait till we ready for the plane kept wanted to walk around and see the shops. that was when we decided it was time to go and see the doctor.

Oh Tina,

You are funny.....maybe if he took up genealogy he would be on computers as well. get him to do the HW..LOL
Mind you my hubby sits at the end of the table on his Lappy at the same
time as me. doing his bit of surfing... .
Now and again I look up and say, *would you like a cuppa*, oh that would be nice he would say .........but its always me that goes and puts the kettle on !

Well I have to say its ruddy well cold and I have just put my fire on.
Just got in from the park with the kids......think its about time they went home LOL.
