Evening all,
Have just caught up with your tales of quizzing, UTIs, DIY and dirty dogs. It sounds as if you have all had fun, of one kind or another.
Sam, your GSD sounds adorable, they are one of my favourite breeds (don't have a dog but love them)
We are lucky enough to be just a few miles from the sea - but rarely visit.
Mum moved into a Care Home today. It seemed to go well and she was generally calm - but I still came away feeling like a traitor! Hubby and I are off onn our hols tomorrow so I won't 'see' you all again until March 6th
Ah, Margi glad you and your mum had fun at the quiz (shame that you were beaten by a point, you'll just have to swot harder for the next one to beat the pesky, I mean, lovely grandson). Moreso, it's lovely you found moral support in that person who recognized the subtle otracization of your poor mum. It's a relief, I suppose, that at least she herself isn't aware of it. Human nature can be both beautiful and damn ugly.
Sam, how are you getting on with those curtains and poles? Is your mum giving you a break before she wants them all changed again? Sigh. You have great patience and stamina.
Rosy, I read your update on jorgie's thread, hope you and your mum have a more restful night.
Apparently the wild winds here are some side swipe from Hurricane Doris no less! Doris, Doris, who the **** is Doris?
Good luck at the quiz and stuff em [emoji106]

I think I should head out for a walk, before the weather closes in! But I appear to be very lazy and stuck to my chair! I have a slow-cooker full of scotch broth made, which cooked overnight, so I'm good for the next couple of days with meals. Might throw another loaf in the machine though and put it in the freezer. And might walk in town, rather than the beach today - what with the wind rising off the sea! Was bad enough out there yesterday! With old sourpuss Doris approaching, I don't want to get sand-blasted!
.... one of my Daughter's cats is called Doris.... he is a boy cat ( well he was pre-op)sourpuss Doris
Worth a look here?Morning LadyA
I couldn't sleep & only went to bed at 3am as it was just daft to still be up , now trying to motivate for work!! Not easy when I have to sit around with my foot wrapped in a towel, toe poking out to "air dry", I'm bored of this and it's still another 4 weeks before it should be healed
I keep looking at the machine & thinking how nice a loaf of home made bread would be, need to find the recipe & instruction book from wherever mum has tidied it to though, can I pinch a loaf off you please
No wind here, but getting a bit of a nip in the air, so not planning any seaside walks, it was blooming freezing taking the dog out for his late night walk last night
Roll on Spring
Margie sounds like that small group of people are quite nasty where your Mum is but with you and your family supporting your Mum I'm hoping she won't notice their behavior.
Well your hols are getting closer bet your on countdown now and just want to be on your way I used to get sooooo excited before a holiday I was like a little child. It will be good for you to chill and relax x

Evening / Morning Molly
I told mum I was having a day off from E V E R Y T H I N G today. I ache in places I didn't know I had . Stopped the painkillers as taking cold n flu tabs, lifting arm above shoulder to drill (ouch), screw ( ) , & lift ... not the best idea. Even driving was painful.
I think I'll do the bathroom replacement slowly over the week, then (for a change) leave my room for "another tine"
I thought they'd said Doris wasn't strong enough to be anything other than "normal" for the time if year & not even a storm proper. Now she's a hurricane ???? what a name. Doris. They could have called her Diedra or Dorothy or just about anything, even Dementia would have been a better "cross" name, but Doris???
[QUOTE =Margi29;1382061]Hi everyone
Back in action tomorrow
It's the quiz again at mums place
So I will share a paper with mum and go head to head with the few residents that participate in the quiz.
We all put a £1.00 in kitty and whoever wins bags the kitty
Last time we were beat by one point, ( didn't really help when mum shouted out answers to some questions )
I'm not bad at general knowledge, but was caught out by one point last time
Then mum called man who won a naughty name !!!
Anyhow it is quite ' clicky ' and I noticed last time that mum was told where to sit ( not near little group of regular players) because mum has dementia, she did not notice she was been left out
I actually think some who know mum has dementia are frightened of either catching it or having any communication with her !!
So the daughter from h*ll is returning tomorrow, nobody leaves my mum out and I will always be there for her ( even though she can drive me mad )
So wish me luck although as old as this group is ( eighties and ninetys ) they are a bright bunch of golden oldies lol x

Wonder what it is about quizzes..... the pub quiz we used to do was incredibly cliquey...we were asked not to enter one week having won the previous 4 weeks....hardly our fault if we were brilliant
