Re: Army November 2022

Evening. Its a roundabout there @JackieClaire, but as Mollys says, nature taking its course. Your MIL will settle quickly hopefully and will get all the care she needs.

There will be no birthday cars here! Driving lessons havnt even started yet, hopefully over Xmas. The eldest is loaded so will buy his own car next year. He waits tables in a decent restaurant in skerries and makes a packet on tips!!
It's the insurance that will cost me a fortune.. your so right Rustop, I'm dreading the worry of them driving already.
Architect sounds great! Presume you need planning permission?

I love your Aunt @satz123, she's seen it all. Isn't it mad the way some people can wither from their late 60s and others are just getting warmed up then. What is it, grit, purpose, just luck probably.
Absolutely, keep YS there as long as you possibly can, indefinitely maybe. Is that an option, very long term aftercare?

Mr Ms birthday today. Had to make the dreaded Lemon Meringue pie. Takes bloody ages. I cheated and bought the pastry. Lovely dinner in a very old pub near us, Man OWar. Molly will know it.
Stuffed as an egg.

Oh I've been to Man O' War Mers.
I've also been in every restaurant in Skerries so maybe came across your lad )
(you can whisper the name of the place & I'll leave a big tip next time.) :thumbsup:

Evening ladies, I’ve been in the Man o war many moons ago, wasn’t eating food though, unless several pints of the black stuff counts.

Re: Army November 2022

Morning,
I'm your echo Molls
Not a lot to say but Mr. JC is taking tomorrow off (although I've nagged him to take Wednesday as well) to help his sister pack for his mothers move to the nursing home. Tbh I think they're going to have to handcuff her and bundle her into the boot of one of their cars. Their house will be sold its worth between 550/600K and they've got a load in the bank.

I got ogled by an old fellow yesterday when we visited the home..........tbh it made my day.

[MENTION=22411]IamMary[/MENTION].............its not cheating its time management.

We had a pub here that we did all our underage drinking. Called The Man in The Moon. They'd serve anyone.

Re: Army November 2022

Good morning everyone

Used to live in Athlone Molly. Hated the place, very divided because it straddled two counties and the Westmeath side seemed to thumb its nose at the Roscommon side. One side closed half day on a Monday and the other on a Wednesday, the one place I would never return to.

Work today so early start this morning. Picked daughter up from Luas so got to bed later than normal. See Mary, even when they can drive they still want pick ups.

They'll have to be firm Jacks. It's for her own welfare.
I see it in work they come in and then next day decide they don't want to be there. Most settle after a short while. Some settle so well they tell the family to leave after a few minutes :haha:
Probably best not to overwhelm her with too many visits, let her get used to the place & make new friends.
She won't know herself with people to chat to any time of the day.

What's happening with FIL ? Does MIL know he's ill or does she think he's following her in ?

FIL is still unconscious......he's on end of life care.......he won't be coming home from hospital ever.
MIL has a fair few marbles left knows he's very ill and dying but she's become very bitter. SIL got an ear full on Sunday when she was told by SIL said she wouldn't be visiting on Sunday as she was going to see her daughter get her degree.
There's a lovely nursing home just up the road we visited yesterday or was it Saturday and there's s room reserved for her and you're right I think she'll love it. She'll be going in tomorrow or Wednesday.

Luckily Mr. JC and his sister are in agreement about everything. I'm just patting my grey haired, worried sick husband's hand.

Didn't see much about it tbh...but the hotel was lovely and great value..and a really good shopping centre literally next door...didn't even have to go outdoors..lovely!
Busy day today..met Adam for lunch and minded Tilly this afternoon so in the bed now and another busy one tomorrow..might get in and say hello to my pals in the library.

Hope MrJC is holding up okay Jackie...such a hard time for him!

Well thanks for that Molly, thats given me a warm fuzzy feeling about my kids driving!!! :haha:
[MENTION=9094]satz123[/MENTION], rhymes with the mick mouse :harhar:

Well Rustop, never knew that about Athlone, no connection to the place mind you, just passed through 100 times.

Gas everyone knows that pub. Apparently on the go since the 1500s!

Any idea how long the FIL will hang on for [MENTION=7008]JackieClaire[/MENTION]? Days, maybe weeks? Im sure its a big strain on everyone, especially with the MIL moving too.

Satz, what was that program you watched about Shein? I want to make sure the girls watch it before Christmas clothes need to be ordered. I cant stand the shop (its was only online but now in jervis street i think). penny’s probably as bad, and the rest of them too. There is only one way they can sell clothes so cheaply. Im like a broken record in this house, but im always shocked how little attention the industry gets. Not only on the appalling conditions people work in, but on the environmental impact too. I wonder where Greta Thunberg shops…
