You have a chance here while your mum is in (relatively) the whole of her health (mental health mainly I'm talking about here) --- to make arrangements with your siblings --- you know the sort of thing 'mum needs company ...... days a week -- you do .... and I'll do ......' INCLUDING your useless brothers --- I had no brothers but my daughter has 3 and I do know they can be useless, but they'll hop to her tune when she lays down the law --- get it sorted Benjy before you are IN the chaos ---- please:l:l:l

I know Molls you are right - and I have spoken to the 2 feckers before.
They won't change so it is down to me & sis.
it'll be ok - I don't mind doing anything- it's only when I see others slacking that I
get pissed off - but they have their conscience to deal with themselves.
So I will hot foot it up there this afternoon and if I feel it's warranted I will call a family meeting. I'm the big sis -so they'll take need....:H

Having said all that .....
Jesus we all get bored on a wet Saturday no matter what age.

Her car in in being fixed after the latest bash .... so she's housebound - but we can't be there all the time.

I know it sounds harsh but them's the facts. She is still mobile and fit and no illnesses.

Am I a COW ??

And I agree -- FOR NOW --- no prob with her being bored for a day -- never killed anyone --- but I'm talking about down the road.... when she really CAN'T be on her own --- and it comes to us all --- and whatever you set in place now will be the way it'll be when it's a 7 day a week job ---- so I would definitely call that family meeting --- not for NOW -- but when LITERALLY someone has to be there everyday --- and it comes..... believe me!!!!

Ye know that is a GREAT idea.
I also have the unwavering support of Mr S who goes up mid-week and does her garden - and has been known to bring her out for sneaky lunch when we are all working and LOVES her to bits.
HE does the 'son' bit ....
And DD is very good too will always take time out to visit.

But yes you are right a SOLID plan is called for ...
Thanks for advice :l

Pissing rain here :yay: don't have to get mobile for a long while ..

Morning all and nice to see another Dub on here , hiya Foxy.
Hope things get sorted with the family Satz , It seems to be a common problem with many families.
I d be listening to l our Molly (enjoy your peaceful morning Molls) .

Well i survived a family 21st last night, even managed to embarass my sons with some dancing.
My boys said "theres an excuse for Mam , she's had a few glasses of wine".
It made me smile.
We brought my elderly father in law home.
We were only home and got a call from his security thing that he pressed his alarm.
So needed to drive back to him . He had a small fall getting into bed and couldnt get back up .
But he was fine. Just as well I wasnt drinking so we could get to him fairly quickly.
One of the many reasons I wake up this morning hangover free very grateful to be sober.
Off out now for a late long run , and later today to watch my 14 yr old nephew play in a cup final.

Hope everyone here has a lovely day.

Damo , still, in Dublin
Xxxx

Take these Molls:l:l

And after hearing Ken's story I am soooooooooooo glad to be sober - 'cos really need to be on the alert with old folk in the mix eh?
