On Saturday Tony and I will be having 2 weeks to ourselves. Mom is going into respite. I'm chantin at the bit at the moment. Going up to Co Durham to see my son and his family for a few days. Hope the weather is nice as we plan to spend whole days at the allotment.(just cos we can) without having to get home on time to get Mom from the day center. Those of you who know our situation will understand just how much this means to us. Might even get time to come on the site. Regard Shirl and Tone

I agree, it is great to see you visiting A4A again. I am sure like me a lot of members have missed you. Hope you have a great time, take care and have some quality time together.

WHEW!!! First reading, thought you'd scarpered oop north for two weeks and I thought OH BUGGA! Just when I was back from a week away meself & wanted to come & raid your muck heap......then I re-read it carefully.....SO.....it's not that I need to come and scrump your s***, I can wait for a proppa invitation, like?

Your mum's lovely Shirl 8) but......but full-time caring takes its toll, eh? Enjoy your two weeks, and I hope that she does the same, because without that knowledge or security, you're back into the same-old, same-old... :(

Peeps, Shirl, Tone,  and the thousands on thousands of other peeps who look after their own are the real unsung and unpaid heroes of our society today, I reckon. All the v.v.v.best to you all, Lishka xxx

Hi Lish. We go up North on Friday and come back Tuesday so you can come after that at any time you want. Mom comes home on the following Saturday. I know she is ok cos she is still attending the day centre for 3 days so of course I ring them to see if she's ok. At the moment she is. The home she has gone to is a council one and the manager and asst manager are people I worked with when I worked in care so I am quite confident that she will be looked after. Tony is 79 on Sat so we will probably go out on the town with our son. Haven't seen them for ages. We have spental most all out time at the lotties and we are both knackered lol . We have to finish putting up a greenhouse today. Yes thats right another one. See you soon
