Dearest Roz
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.
Heartfelt love Gill xxx

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]

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]

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]

PS as to history I remember a little regarding the Tudor period I can still recite Henry VIII's wives and how they met their end. I think I must have been a very bloodthirsty child at school

I have no idea regarding all the jargon but it sounds from others that have posted it is all good news.
