Oh Donna

There is so little I can say, I am so sorry.

My daughter is called Donna.

I don't know if you are aware that the name Donna means lady.

I just bet that you were one very special lady in your dad's life.

Wishing you strength and comfort in the weeks to come

Hi Kay

Welcome to the site that is very elite, very supportive, very friendly and helpful and a place where everybody wishes they did not have to be.

Very good luck with your treatment let us all know how you are getting on.

Kind regards Gill

I think I forgot to say Welcome Home. I hope you are feeling OK and managing to eat. Don't forget the teaplate trick:-)

Tiny amounts of food are manageble and you will soon be doing an Oliver Twist and asking for more.

Good Luck from Gill xx

Good news indeed Georgina. I hope she continues to improve

Kind regards Gill xx

There is so little one can say at this awful time. I hope and pray that he is comfortable, peaceful and pain free. Please post when you can. Not because we are nosy but because we all have learnt to care what happens to each other , and the least we can do is send our love and support.

Thanks for the tip Min and Bridget.

I will experiment with the heating controls and see how we go. Like you when we were both at work the heating was not on much.

If it works out very dear we will have to go back to how things were when I was a child. One coal fire, a hot water bottle in bed, liberty bodices, badly hand knitted sweaters and…[Read more]

Hi Bridget

I put in an order from Wiltshire Farm today for Mum In Law and just wondered if your mum had tried any yet.

We were down at MILs last week and were fed on these. I must admit the ones in sauce or gravy have a better taste but MIL seems to enjoy them all, apart from those in "funny sauces" cider gravy etc:-/

Hope you are Well…[Read more]

Welcome home hope things are improving for you both Gill xx

Cold icy step sounds much more like cruel fun than our bottom step on the landing which is warm and cosy. It is where we used to make the kids sit if and when they were very, very naughty. 1 minute per age eg. 3 years old = 3 mins 4 = 4 mins. Obviously by 5 we were beating them sensless:-).

Cannot understand how they became such great adults…[Read more]

Hi Roz

I just wondered if things are any better. Post when you can. You know we are all thinking of you

Never had much interest in Hastings but loved the 15 and 16 hundreds. As to all those poor females they were divorced, beheaded, died, divorced beheaded survived. I bet Katherine Parr danced on Henry's grave

Dearest Min

I too get angry with my mm husband. We fall out like any "normal" couple. Bridget's words are so telling mm patients either treat medication, hospital visits and all the c**p that goes with this illness as "normal" or roll over.

If Peter reminds you again that he is not well tell him off good and proper and make him sit on the…[Read more]

Hi Min
