My brother went to visit my Mum today and.......

Oh kitty

Quite nina!

Sigh! How much more on/off worry can you take?

You've got to admire her staying power, though! Such a worry for you, kitty, I do sympathise.

kitty you must be weary

Ha ha! I'm fine at the moment thank you, Harri as we've just been away and I've had a week off! That will change no doubt as one brother is going away next week.

kitty I'm in exactly the same boat! My mother is currently bedridden, but when my sister arrives in a few days I'm sure she will suddenly improve - until my sister leaves again!!

I grew up in a two up two down sharing a bedroom with my younger sister and mum and dad and grandad in his own room.
Mum and dad both worked-in awful conditions and for low pay-and whenever they came in Grandad would put his head in his hands and start moaning. As I got older I used to ask him what was wrong because he hadn't been doing that before they came in-no answer!
His other (idle) daughters used to come and spend the day with him laughing and joking and, as my dear mum used to say, burning all her coal (and saving theirs) and drinking all her tea and not doing anything to help at all. And then when they'd gone he'd start morning again!

kitty and ga. Families eh?

What an emotional rollercoaster you're on with this, it must be so hard to know what to expect next. Didn't someone suggest you write a book.....you should!

Rollercoaster indeed - hang on in there - she is!! [flower]

- suddenly more generous!!
