coxyhog Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 I just knew everything was going too smoothly concerning our upcoming trip(on Tuesday)& my mum going into a home this Friday. Had a call from the home this evening....they've had an outbreak of scabies & did I think my mum would object to being covered in cream from head to toe a couple of times a day. f**k! I cannot put her through that. There's a home in our village which is quite a bit pricier so going to see if they can get her in there at short notice. 👹 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The scabbies thing is a big red flag. Take the time to sort that out mate. Prioritities first (as you acknowleged). This place will still be sitting here waiting for you, and you will be much more comfortable once you get here. You are cetainly doing the best thing. God's speed and best wishes. Always except the unexpected, always stay flexible, and keep in mind you never know what's around the next corner. Do these things, keep up the good attitude, and remember your friends love you. That's all that really matters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fygjam Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 (edited) I actually got these a while ago. They're called "reality goggles". You put them on and can still see everything in front of you, just as it was before you put the goggles on. Edited February 8 by fygjam 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Really impressed with their reaction to my tale of woe.£114pw more expensive but it'll cost me £££'s to change our flights and hotel.

For me today has been far too stressful for a 70yo. So I'm going for some stress relief at the pub. 8 1 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Dangleberries Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 No jobs to do today, just a day of busy doing nothing. I have had 2 days of fannying about getting my name put on the blue house book here. Loads of "sit down, stand up, go there, come here, do that, do this, all interspersed with "wait there".". I won't post the experience in the "annoyed" thread because it is exactly how I expect Government Organizations to operate! We are now at the "We will phone you when we are ready" stage ... 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek Dangleberries Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 M'Lady had to go to the airport in Ubon today so I asked her to buy a box of Mont Clair red from Makro for the footie over the weekend.. She has come back all smiles with the Mont Clair 3litr (73 baht more expensive than my Pattaya shop) but also a 3ltr box of Holla Velvet Red for 699 a box. At 11.5% it sounds quite a good buy.... If it tastes shit then she can drink it anyways !! Anybody on here try it before ??? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
