Not caught up in the sleep stakes yet - I can stop taking the calms and nytol before I 'drug' myself into oblivion! Had to stop at teatime tonight on my way home and have a kip in the back of the car - I couldn't stop nodding while I was driving and it was dangerous. Trouble is from the back of the car I can't lock the doors manually so every time I moved my head the car alarm went off - well at least I know it works! I got up early 5am and made tea for tonight and then off out to Malham (Yorks) one of my fave places but they have had frosts and the fungi had just disappeared as tho it had never been..... - Just back from the wab Clumber meet - it was fantastic as usual - the banter is non-stop and the fungi were good - excellent this year! Pity I forgot the one thing that mattered most (no not the camera - my earplugs - so I could sleep thro the first half of the night (when the rest don't go to bed but get stuck into the microscapy and wine!!) and then spend the second half snoring (tho our room partner didn't thank god!!!!!! I didn't need any rockin last night back here at home!!!

Hi Ellen
Thanks for the comment on the Great Tit much appreciated,
Regards Rob -
Good idea,a stable routine is the key,once she knows her way round the place and gets to know people I am sure she will feel safe there.Its just tough for you not to be able to take her out at the moment without her falling to pieces-just remember its not your fault!!! - Mam was looking much better today - her face colour had gone back to pink from grey and yellow earlier in the week and she looked reasonably happy and un anxious. Then we made a daft mistake - cos she kept asking about going out for a walk - but didn't actually want to go when I asked her - but I then suggested we have a walk around the grounds - as I hadn't been round the outside yet. Ian and I walked her round twice and by the time we got her back indoors she was wide-eyed, didn't recognise the place, forgotten where her room was and was anxious and fretting and thoroughly disorganised .......... oh boy - can't do right ........ so we've learned from here on no matter what she says we leave her there and don't do anything out of the routine until she is thoroughly engaged with the routine ..............
- Good grief! Mixing concrete - whatever will she do next?! I haven't mixed concrete for a couple of years now - we had it to do at work often enough - tho stuff like wooden car park posts were not supposed to be concreted in (they get hit and need replacing quite often - so digging a huge amount of concrete out as well was not good). Lets hope yours has set and 'gone off' ok and doesn't contains any of Rusty's or any passing moggys pawprints!!! You can buy stuff that makes concrete 'go off' quite fast and 'post mix' to add to dry concrete which makes it set fast - useful when we were erecting signs in public places and didn't want the kids knocking them over straight away we left!
- Its only across Leigh and I can come and go in there as I want - tho whether I will visit tomorrow is another matter - I can't stand much more of the emotional wrangle at the min and she plays me up so much but is ok with others - it makes my blood boil - what the hell does she want from me? Sorry I'm tired to drained and am defo going to bed - I said I was a while ago and then drifted into here instead of keeping going to the stairs!!!! Weather was glorious here this aft but roads were flooded for a short spell in places while I was going to Burnley. Have a lovely day tomorrow - I have the hairdressers at 9am and then come back and get onto the social workers and see what happens next. I can't go and take her back home next Mon just to go thro another day like this - I will be a basket case if there's much more stress like this .........
- Well things have moved on apace: I got her home and left her there and all went quiet for the night and part of the morning - so much so I began to wonder if she was there or ok? Then at dinnertime the phone began - I'm trying to drive back from the dentist at Burnley - while she is crying down the phone every few mins and threatening to do herself in .... long story short - she's back in Bedford Care for a week and I've come home for a brew (not had a drink since 8am) and some sanity before going back to her house to pack her bag (again - why did I unpack it and why couldn't I see this coming?) and yet when I get her in the car she starts crying that she's leaving her home .... heavens to murgatroiyde ...... I don't know which way is up! PS Enjoy your days off the weather after heavy rain here has turned rather nice - not that I'm seeing much of it - but still!!!!
- One pile (the older one, measures 15 inches deep .... oh dear .... and the newer pile is a mere 7 inches deep ...... oh dear, oh dear ...) Enjoy your well earned break ellen hope your back lets you do a few enjoyable things! Tables have turned with mam unexpectedly - she hasn't found the phone which is a puzzle? While here she kept asking to stay here on our settee and I kept saying no mam you can't stay here not even for a night (do it one night and I'd never get her back home ...) if Ian came thro the door from work and found her staying on our settee he would walk right back out - same if I came home and found his mother staying - its just not poss - we haven't the room to share with a third person - esp one who cannot be left on her own for fear of her getting lost, burning the house down, putting the elec kettle on the hob etc ........ I feel for her - this is a horrible situation but she can't live on our settee ........
- Mam done ok according to phone calls I've made to the home while away - its not cured her of her confusion and forgetfulness but I didn't expect it to! Glad to hear you are managing to get out even if you can't prize your mam away from the telly! Better get going - there's been a mountain of stuff and mail and email to sort out ands bills and insurance ........ where does it all come from ...... and why does my filing system not work (poss cos I haven't got a filing system - just a rapidly growing pile of paper that I search thro!!!) Better get going and go and fetch her home - then I can go back to the phone ringing every few seconds again ....... where's the off switch!!
