Good to see you Ditto. Naughty old forum board Did the showering go well? Maybe you need ear plugs when she is on one Thanks for the birthday and well wishes for my mum. She would love that if she understood about the forum board but I would go doolally trying to explain Teebs will your sister be seeking out all her fave Scottish dishes? DeeDee I hope the cough shifts soon. Coughs are so exhausting! M, what fabulous piccies of your family on FB. Love the Paris ones. We had horrible weather here today. It's been very cold and wet. I had to put the heating on when I got home from work. I wasn't dressed for it either so have been cold all day. Rainbow have a lovely day tomorrow. Is it Port Solent? I can't remember.

Hey! It happens to me once in awhile, not being able to get on the forum, but seems like it's been acting up a bit more lately? Maybe we need to start a new Prattle thread? It hurts my heart everytime I open it up and see Pokerkitten on the first page... Lol, Pluto, it is a little confusing about the forum if you don't know our roots! I know the weather has been a bit cooler than we Southerners are used to, little sis looked all bundled in some of the pics! My brother in law is a notorious walker...he doesn't stop, and I'm sure they've covered a lot of ground in London and Paris! She said that the taxi driver in Paris was a really scary driver, lmao! Teebs, hope the relatives have landed and are happily enjoying their first day in Scotland! Such a long flight! Is your mom excited? Ditto, hope you got your mom in the shower with little trouble! I remember once when I was mother in law sitting (she was just beginning the dementia and we took turns sitting with her.) and she wanted a shower, so I'm trying to help her get organized, and she's stripping out of her clothes like she did it for a living, and I'm trying to hold a towel in front of her, thinking to give her some privacy, and she handed it back to me, said she didn't want to take her towel in the shower (it wasn't on yet) and proceeded to make her way to seat in the shower, lmao! Way too much white, wrinkly skin on display... and I was mortified! So good luck with those showers, shield your eyes best as you can! Deedee, I hope your cough is better, are you taking anything for it? Rainbow, didn't get much posted today, I hope you're doing ok! Desk work is tedious, and I hope your Thursday is more interesting! We are doing an over night to Island View tomorrow, Gabe is excited, he loves the water park, and staying at the hotel, so two happies with one trip! As for me, I'm armed with my kindle, and phone, the wifi is good there so will probably be checking in on FB. Take care all...hugs!

Morning I know what you mean about seeing PK on the thread M. I wonder what happens if we run out of storage? Hopefully we would get an alert which would spur us into decision making. That shower story sounds like a daughter in law job above and beyond regular duties M. Well done and I hope B appreciated it at the time. Hopefully Cindy and family packed for at least two seasons, if not three Busy day as I had to fit in another appointment but at least it's Thursday

morning That's exactly how I feel Marilyn but I don't know if starting a new thread without PK would be worse I was very tired yesterday, hence not having much to say, feeling better today but have annual leave until Tuesday. I decided yesterday to make a GP appointment and see if I can get signed off work for a couple of weeks to see if it helps my knee, being at a desk or in and out of a car and driving makes it so much worse. Just hope I get a sympathetic doctor I'm having a day out with R and A today to Southampton and Port Solent, she is driving so I can relax Hope work goes well Pluto Have a great day everyone

I chose not to watch Panorama Ditto. It's too much! I'm so glad mum has enough money for private care. There are too many people in the world! Back to lovely weather today. Ditto it will hopefully improve up your way and you will be on that patio Is it Luke who is 16!!!!! I remember photos of when he was a little nipper. Good luck with the phone. Teebs, have they arrived yet? I've got confused with days and times. Maybe it's this evening I'll have to read back. Hope you have had a lovely day Rainbow Finished work till Monday now Had to treat myself to yet another tub of Haagan-Das Salted Caramel ice cream in Morrisons as it's still on offer!!!

Hello all, what a wet miserable day it’s been 🌫🌧, didn’t go out this afternoon because it was so wet 🙁. On the upside my sis and b-i-l dropped in for a quick visit on the way to his mums in Berwick where they are staying for the weekend. I didn’t tell mum they were coming so it was a lovely surprise for her 😃
Have a great time M although I’m sure you will, I must check out your FB pics 😃
I hope you’ve had a good day out Rainbow, a trip to the docs for a line seems like a damn fine idea it would surely be beneficial for you. 🤗
These things have to be done Pluto 😉 I’ve never tried anything ‘salted caramel ‘ I live a very sheltered existence 😂🤣
Glad you managed to help your mum shower Ditto, have fun playing with the new phone 😁

Time for bed

Morning We have the sash window man coming at 9.30 to look and quote. We may need a whole new window if he can't just do the cord. It could be expensive! Your poor mum Ditto. Does she keep scratching it and making it worse? I used to lie the cottage cheese with added flavour like chives. I should be back on it really. Hope you get the doc and it's over and done with soon Ditto. New fence panels will look really smart Rainbow Will you paint them or leave them as they are? Teebs, that must have been so lovely to see your sister. Hopefully you wi get more time with her soon.

I don't think we'll paint them Pluto. Rustic is more S's style...
Fingers crossed the cord can be repaired

He has to take the two frames out to get to the cords but says it will cost £180. We think that's a bargain! Mum's paying lol! He's doing it now which is good as H had to remove her curtain which is nailed to the frame. Another bodged DIY job!!!
Rustic is good.

Ditto, you will love taking pics and putting them straight on to FB. Hope you get the hang of it soon. I was going to go in the Virgin shop in town today about my upgrade but completely forgot! Hope you had a good respite from your mum whilst your brother was there.
My mum was not herself at all today. She kept nodding off and being a bit random in what she was saying. She can't read very well at the moment and that's her whole life! Her eye looks terrible. Apparently she has a water infection as well now. She was saying she doesn't want to live past 90. She was pleased to see my sister but hardly spoke with her.We are hoping she will get better and perk up soon.

Hey! Very nice couple of days, Gabe enjoyed the water park, but was ready to go after a couple of hours...we were there at the hottest part of the day, and we usually try to get there early morning in order to leave before the afternoon heat is the worst. But nice supper with Gabe...B was having crawfish out on the IV deck, last one for awhile. B got a really big win on the poker machines...$4000...not sure how much that is in pounds, but a really big win for him, and of course he shares! We stopped for lunch on the way back in to New Orleans...Cracker Barrel...you all would love that place, the front is a shop, all kinds of baby and ladies' clothes, and themed knickknacks, toys, and a huge selection of jams, and candy. I love looking around while we wait for a table. Pluto, it's really hard to see your mom in pain and confused, isn't it? Is she on any new medication that might explain why she is so sleepy? I hope the window gets fixed quickly, that sounds pricey, but don't really know about things like that! Rainbow, are you replacing an old fence or starting new? Rustic sounds nice, although a protective coat of sealant can help or are they the new preformed ones? Wouldn't need anything, then! What happened with the GP? Ditto, I hope your day ended up to be a good one. You're probably sleepy cos you're not getting a good night's sleep?! Your poor mom, she must be miserable! I know little sis was when she had hers, just couldn't be comfortable. Is the doctor coming out to see her? Can you have sugar free candy? Can't eat a lot of it cos it can mess with your stomach, but may help when you feel like a little something? Teebs, what a great surprise for your mom! Are you ready for the weekend? Deedee, hope you're doing good, and getting out a bit! Take care all...hugs!

morning Awake too early again I couldn't get a GP appointment yesterday Marilyn, need to try again on Monday but I've explained what's wrong and asked to be signed off work for 2 weeks, l think it's the only way to see if that will improve things Well done B! That's a lot of money here too Hope you have a fabulous weekend Pluto and get to meet with Katie and Sarah, give them a hug from me Need to go to M& Ds this morning, they are making us all executurs for their new wills and giving us power of attorney so we all have to go round and sign. Dad is def getting forgetful so it's a good time to do it Hair colour this afternoon then BBQ at R&As tomorrow with No 1 daughter and sil . Poor S is working all weekend Have a great weekend everyone

Morning M, what a fabulous win for B That Cracker Barrel sounds right up my street. I think my mum is on more anti biotics . We had the window fixed when he came to look. I've no idea about prices but sash can be expensive. I suppose it adds up if several need to be done. He's a local man who came early and did a good job. I would use him again. Lovely sounding weekend ahead Rainbow. I'm glad your mum and dad have wisely agreed to the decision making. It will make it so much easier in the future. You were in my strange dream. We were driving somewhere for work. We drove down a road which had a horrible family in it and had to wait as they were taking up the road then the dad was obnoxious. Then we drove across an airfield which was flooded Very strange!! I have woken with a headache, possibly because I was up and down in the night and awake with the sun at 5.00 as usual. When I went to the loo at 2.00 I heard Antonia chatting in their room. I can hear her now too! Off to Portobello Market today. I haven't been since the late 70's. It's all retro stuff, junk and 'treasures' It's due to be sizzling in London Hoe you all have good day and better weather

Hi girls, hope everyone is having a lovely weekend 😃
M that was a great win for B and nice that he shares 😉
Bummer you couldn’t get an appointment Rainbow, I hope you have better luck on Monday 🤞. Enjoy the bbq 🤗
Pluto your poor mum is certainly going through it just now 🤗. It’ll be the water infection that will be making her tired and confused, Ds father had a serious infection like that once and was very confused and contrary, but once the antibiotics kicked in he recovered quickly. I hope you’ve had a wonderful day in London to take your mind of things 🤗
I had Riley this morning for a wee visit, he came in sat down and said ‘Granny I need 4 things to eat’.......I asked him if I had a cafe sign over the door and the cheeky monkey said ‘aye’ 🙄😂😂. Haven’t done much so far this weekend as the weathers not that great, very overcast, but at least it’s stopped raining.
Big 🤗 to Ditto and Deedee

We had a lovely day. It's been very hot here. I found lovely things in the market Teebs you're right about mum so hope the anti biotic kick in soon and she's back to normal. So did you feed cheeky little Riley Teebs? Bless him. M, lovely pics on FB Just settling down for the European Champions League. Howie is a massive Spurs can. He's very excited!

Hey!
Good posts from everyone, just wish we and our loved ones were enjoying better health. Nothing else as important that affects our lives.
Rainbow, I hope you’re enjoying your family weekend!
Pluto, is a visit with K and S still in the plans? Hope Howie’s team wins!
Teebs, gotta love those kids, they know that they have you wrapped around their finger!
Ditto, hope the visit went well, and your mom improves. Bread and butter...so simple, but so good! A piece of buttered toast with my coffee makes me happy!
Beautiful but hot Saturday, even under the tree! Gabe was over a little early today, his mom and dad were taking a ride to the coast, maybe to stay the night.
Take care all... hugs
