Dad getting home on Tuesday now instead of tomorrow as hubby has explained to my Dad and the hospital staff that I can't commit atm due to many reasons but mainly ill health and the stress of the situation is not helping.

Long story short it is now up to my sister to confirm all arrangements, please don't get me wrong I will still help out but it definitely needs to be on a 50/50 basis now.

Hope the test goes OK weenie. Glad to hear the rest of your post though. Bet your sister will be really, really pleased that she will see a lot more of her Father in the coming weeks. I guess I'm as bad as you :D :D:D

Loving the prices in Kyrenia, TRNC.

Went for cocktails on Friday evening at the rooftop bar in the Colony Hotel, and because it was Happy Hour we had 25% taken off the total bill - the four of us had two cocktails each, and the final bill was 169YTL (Turkish Lira); approx. £22.

We then went to a lovely restaurant called Efendi (rated by Tripadvisor as #2 out of 255 in Kyrenia) - again, an unbelievable total bill of £125 for the four of us, which was for 3 courses each, 2 beers, and 3 bottles of wine.

Bargain!

The fun has began she threw a hissy fit by all accounts and has tried to get in contact with me, try she may as she is blocked from all phones and blacklisted on my emails so the only way she can contact is by coming directly to my door and good luck getting past D and my two boys :D as we both know that:
(A) The likely hood of her doing this is slim.
(B) If she did then D would send her away with her tail between her legs and let's be honest here either D or my boys would love the (B) scenario.

If only I could be a fly on her wall. :D :D :D

Don't be surprised if she tries to manipulate you through your Dad. I know he appears to have mended his ways but old habits can be hard to break.

Dad is settled in and back home now. I bought in a whole load of M&S, Asda and Sainsburys ready meals as he has been allocated carers to come in every night to cook these meals. I will just have to see how things go and take each day one at a time.

Spending a night in hospital. Why a happy thought? Well because after doing 60.5 hours last week I thought I was having a heart attack Saturday night and left work early and ended up calling an ambulance after feeling like I was about to pass out. Happily, after a night of blood tests and ECG's I was given the all clear but warned about doing too many hours. Sadly, my weakness is I can't say no to people's faces if they ask me to do overtime. Suffice it to say, I am now putting myself first and will not be seeking to push myself hard for a good while yet.

Combines a moan with a happy thought.

PITA that Mr A's camera fell on the floor & got badly damaged day before an air show..

Kudos to the insurance company on the very first day of the new policy starting, being absolutely brilliant. Many years of only small claims under a previous insurer have stood us in good stead
