It was meant to be a walking holiday but I think I'll take lots of books. I feel pretty rough
A change of scenery at least and some good fresh air. My friend likes Wauchope cottagesThank you girls but my husband, who has just come home, thinks it is probably 'flu luckily we're just going to a lodge in the Scottish borders 2 hrs away.

Horrible today isn't it. Heating been on quite a lot of the day....needed it too brrrCold, shivery, and hurty today.
I'm supposed to be proofreading, but instead I'm cuddling a hot water bottle, craving chocolate, and gazing out of the window.
I hate this weather.Where's the sun??????
I know!!! I keep switching mine off and thinking we don't need it any more, and then a day or two later I have to put it back on again. I just want to curl up in a ball and sleep until the sun comes back - I think I must have been a hedgehog in a previous life!Horrible today isn't it. Heating been on quite a lot of the day....needed it too brrr
Just let mine ride on the thermostat. Doesn't come on a lot since the whole house gets warm then it just tops up when needed. Doesn't get cold at night so it's warm whatever time I wake. Bedrooms are kept cooler of course as all rads got TRVsI know!!! I keep switching mine off and thinking we don't need it any more, and then a day or two later I have to put it back on again.

That's good Kim, wishing you all the best at this time, it tough I know from my own experience with my own mother the best thing to do is be there and make sure you're there to do the emotional support, and allow the professional staff to mange the physical side of it.Some good news today. I have found my mum a suitable nursing home with palliative care. It is under new management and has already started making headway resolving outstanding issues. I hope she will be happy there. She's not looking at me or talking to me right now as I know she's scared and doesn't want to go into care. I've tried to make her understand, she may in time. The Manager/RGN is lovely, caring and a good manager of the home and staff. We get on well. Mum should be in the nursing home within the next 2/3 days. A little stress has been lifted.
I hope you all have had a good day
Well done, Johnny, on participating in the self-management programme today - that takes a lot of courage, so you should give yourself a well-deserved pat on the back.good morning, my friends,
i went to the expert patients programme self-management course at a health centre in tulse hill today and participated well although a bit shy and lacking alot of eye contact. i had a cup of coffee with sweeteners and milk and a satsuma in the 15 minute break.
i got home and my carer came and got me 10 ready meals of his choice, a pack of 4 tins of tuna chunks in sunflower oil, countrylife english butter, kingsmill white bread loaves x 2, coffee, tetley teabags, sweeteners, sugar, a large jar of marmite and 15 eggs. he gave me a receipt for my care coordinator to scan on her computer and forward in an email to joe buckley, my appointee, who works for client affairs and adult community services.
i ate a lot of marmite sandwiches and just had a cup of sugary coffee with coffeemate.
i also bought a new house phone for eleven pounds and forty nine pence with a receipt for my care coordinator who visits next wednesday at 2:30 pm.
my blood sugar just now at 6:14 pm was 11.7. a real pitiful excuse for a diabetes management strategy on my part but a good day.
Well done, Kim - that's really good news. Your mum may not understand how hard you have worked to find her the best possible solution, but WE all do, and I'm sure once she's had a day or two to settle in she'll appreciate having people around her and 24-hour care. A good result.Some good news today. I have found my mum a suitable nursing home with palliative care. It is under new management and has already started making headway resolving outstanding issues.

@debrasue not one for being picky but you put a naughty comma between "chocolate, and gazing out". Keep hugging the hot water bottle to get you up to speed lol.Cold, shivery, and hurty today.

Someone in my office had a fan on as he thought it was too hot. Unfortunately he was sitting back-to-back with me so when the fan blew on his face it also blew down the back of my neck! I ended up moving desks.....Horrible today isn't it. Heating been on quite a lot of the day....needed it too brrr
