At least I didn't say Belgium.

Belgium - much underrated. We would have far fewer scenarios to contemplate were it not for Belgium, and no chocolate willys for Cupid Stunt.

Let's hear it for the Fusil National, that box shaped tank destroyer and dogs pulling machineguns.
Yaay Belgium.

Anyone else got Belgian dog-pulled machine guns in three scales?

Well....that's tomorrow a complete write off.

Very early morning do the mid week shop. (Normal)
Mid morning, go down to Doc's. (Wouldn't take too long)
Late morning/early afternoon act as 'companion' in an ambliance (sic)to take the MIL over to Haverford West Hospital for an X-Ray on her hip. Stay with MIL until it's her turn (trying not to lose my sanity.)......Then wait for the ambliance to take us home.

I may need a couple of days to recover...my brain is going to melt, being in such close proximity to 'her', for that amount of time.  ~X( ~X( ~X( ~X( X_X

Cheers - Peed off of Wales. :'( :'( :'(

My sympathies.

Hope it all goes well for the both of you.

Chuckle. My MIL can't speak a word of any language that I can. This has its uses.

Good luck, Phil. My sympathy. I had to take my late MIL to the hospital before she went in to the home. She was deaf and so every conversation had to be at maximum volume with every other patient listening in. She also had dementia so you got the same questions over and over again - if you find yourself waiting for a long period for her turn to be X-ray'd, do as I did and just change the answers to make it more interesting!  ;D 
I may not have gone where I intended to go, but I think I have ended up where I needed to be.

And she doesn't live with you, does she Alexander ?

What we've had to put up with over the last few days..........Huge amounts of truly revolting stuff....(Which she says "Oh it's so embarrassing"...Yeah right, you don't have to clean it up)....and you don't bloody care.....Phil will clean it up...... Losing SO much sleep, Von and I feel like zombies.....If that sodding alarm goes off tonight......

Davy...(Westie) .....I know that's just what's going to happen tomorrow......"I'm not deaf, you know.".....I'm taking the iPod and a tiny digital radio, so I can try and ignore her....
I'm going to get the same frigging questions OVER AND OVER again.
Change the answers ?....She doesn't sodding listen.

Cheers - Mr end of his tether.

Thank Heavens, no. It's a day's hard drive to get there.
