there is nothing wrong with it at all, if she doesn't take it, she can go home and go hang as i have had enoughHmm, well hopefully she will be more enthusiastic on a second look
me too, just been to doctor, my blood pressure is sky high which is not brilliantReally hope she goes for it. Vibes for a successful outcome

She has been told all this but whether she takes it in is another matter. It does need painting, just a coat of emulsion as it has been patched in places with different shades. It would be quicker to do it myself as i am a fast painter and also waiting for tradesmen around here is like waiting for Godot. The rooms are stripped, so it is just a case of going round it all and it's not an extremely high ceiling so can reach with an ordinary ladder.If she says again about dumping her in a home smile sweetly and tell her she doesn't qualify for a home place so she'd be dumped back at her own house where you'd be quite happy to forget about her! Well tempting as it is maybe not the last bit, though I'd certainly say you wouldn't be able to visit frequently and maybe not at all if Covid rules change.
Does the apartment really need redecorating? And if the answer is yes can you not get someone in to do it? Chances are anything you do will be wrong anyway . . .
I went to see my osteo, and on the way back walked the dogs in the woods, leaving mum in the car in a wet weekend monosyllabic mood. I just sat on a tree trunk, wet bum now, and had a good howl. Ironically spoke to some folks who have similar issues with an 89 year old and we offered to swap.Hope in a few weeks this will just be a bad spell to look back on. You must be emotionally drained.
I'll be gone before her, my blood pressure is high and i could feel it when i walked the dogs, thumping. I am well on course to be a stroke candidate if i can't get some peace and quiet.How utterly exhausting. I am just shaking my head in sympathy.

Lord love you - the bawling will have done you good. Some people just don't grow old well, and it's their children's misfortune to have to deal with it.I went to see my osteo, and on the way back walked the dogs in the woods, leaving mum in the car in a wet weekend monosyllabic mood.

So glad for you - although it'll be hard slog doing all that, you'll be your own person again at the end. If you can, get some professional help - it's an awful lot to do on your own.We seem to have a breakthrough. She is going to take the studio flat 3 miles from us. All i have to do now is decorate it, remove 3 three doors, get appliances, carpets and organise clearing the other house.....
will probably do the decorating as it will be quicker to do it myself rather than wait for tradesmen. Will get someone to do the moving of furniture but will have to go and decide what is coming and pack up the clothes etc. Go up with the horsebox the day before probably or car and trailer. I moved a business, 4 equines, cats, from sussex to Scotland only to be made homeless as the b builder hadn't finished the houses, so lots of experience. Will be quite easy to do, only moving bed, 2 chests of drawers, living room furniture and bits from bathroom, so not a lot, mainly clothes, kitchen stuff. 2nd stage will be clearing the rest and renting out the house but let the dust settle a bit firstSo glad for you - although it'll be hard slog doing all that, you'll be your own person again at the end. If you can, get some professional help - it's an awful lot to do on your own.
me too, by end of october might get back to riding my horses....Oh fingers crossed it all goes smoothly! I am so glad there is progress.
