A week on…

Tuesday 26th August 2008

If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!…and the munchkin’s forehead is still tinged with green and yellow! She was a little subdued for a day or so, but is back to normal now (apart from coming up to me a couple of times a day asking [...]

Thoughts and catch up

Tuesday 22nd July 2008

I’ve been doing a bit of thinking lately. I’ve been really struggling to cope with Mr H’s job situation. But why is it affecting me so much? I was in tears this morning over it.

Is it that I’m such a control freak that I just need to know what’s going on?
Is it that the uncertainty [...]

Weekend round up

Tuesday 6th May 2008

That was definitely a busy and tiring few days.
Saturday was supposed to be a quiet day as we knew once we set of to L&T’s we wouldn’t get much rest. It didn’t happen that way though. The morning was spent searching for the photo album’s mum had lent us (me aged 0-4), and the afternoon [...]

Quick Friday update

Friday 29th February 2008

Good morning! Just a quick update from the H household as I’ve got a lot to do today.
Firstly thanks for the lovely comments left on my last post. It was something I just had to get out somewhere and Mr H wasn’t due home for a while. Dad’s ok, he hasn’t had another TIA since, [...]

Not a good day

Tuesday 26th February 2008

I’ve just spoken to Mum.
Dad was due to have a driving assessment this morning relating to his dementia. However while at the test centre (before getting into the car) he had a transient ischaemic attack (TIA). He lost his speech and some movement and got very confused. It came back after about 10-15 minutes. Dad saw [...]

‘Home’ again!

Tuesday 12th February 2008

Firstly an apology…I didn’t mean to make you homesick missbliss! Your part of the country is gorgeous. I’ve had a couple of weekends away down there in the past and it’s lovely. I think the hospitable northerners thing very much depends on which part you go to and whether it’s a very urban area or [...]

Home again - but not for long!

Tuesday 21st August 2007

Hello! It’s been so long since I didn’t a proper series of posts rather than the odd one here and there in between going away…and it’s not going to get much better for the next couple of weeks.
The munchkin and I got back from Wiltshire on Friday afternoon. It was a good week away; though [...]

Latest update

Saturday 11th August 2007

I got back from my parents last night. The police have caught one of the scum that took Dad’s wallet from him and took Mum’s handbag and he’s admitted taking them, but is denying being involved in other thefts in the area that the police are sure he’s involved in. His fingerprints were found in [...]

Sorry - no Fun Monday here

Sunday 5th August 2007

I’m heading up to my parents tomorrow so you won’t see a Fun Monday from me (not that I wear an apron if I can help it…).
Mum’s coping, trying to be strong - I’m not allowed to give her too many hugs. Dad’s not coping so well. Mum thinks he’s already forgetten the theft of [...]

Just a quickie

Friday 3rd August 2007

Hello! Sorry I’ve not been to say hello to anyone recently and not looked at most of the Fun Monday posts.
I had a friend call me on Tuesday asking if she could come and stay for a couple of days to give her husband some space to get his act together, so she came on [...]
