I agree Honeyroar it is horrible. It's so hard watching your parents get older 😔

You lot are so nice, it's good to rant sometimes ! It's just sometimes everything seems too much . Actually yesterday I was in tears with work as well , just stuck on a hard problem that I thought I had cracked .

at least we will be loads closer to mam. When my dad was dying being 300 miles away was pretty crap . However I do hope I never have to move ever ever again,. It's the months of nothing, an occasional week of panic and then the utter madness when it finally happens all at once! There's a reassuring long running thread in property that I found helpful, just seeing others going through the wringer and getting to the other end!

And I knew one of them lyrics and now it's gone

Actually the length of this post, lyrics could have been posted snd guessed ...

Fingers crossed all will go well with your house moves @midgeswithnofingernails and @NeedToKnow101

We have been trying to sell my parents house for last couple of years after they moved in to care home ; but we then had to put on hold with probate as my dad passed , then with lockdown and two buyers pulling out it's been a bit of a slog , and that's not counting decluttering of what seemed to be everything they had ever bought in 60 years of marriage . We now have an agreed completion date and I'm keeping everything crossed it goes through this time .

It is a difficult time of life when you find yourself caring for your parents but you also have your own family .

I think for me it was hardest about 4 years ago when my parents both had early stages of dementia, but were refusing any external support , and DS was in GCSE year. I'm just thankful that all this stuff with Covid didn't happen at that time .

Dad had vascular dementia which was horrible, really sad. Mum has Alzeimers which has been quite gradual for the last 8 years. She's in a lovely home and I'm so grateful she is happy and settled there .

midgeswithnofingernails · 27/03/2021 17:39

Not you too shiny. Fingers crossed for you also

shinynewapple21 · 27/03/2021 17:39

Moving sounds very stressful Midge, I think I would hate it . But it will be easier for you being closer to your mum. It's been particularly difficult for anyone with family who are elderly or unwell and they haven't been able to get to see them easily over the last year .

We don't talk about love
We only wanna get drunk

Well it's too late tonight
To drag the past out into the light

I will run for shelter
Endless summer lift the curse
It feels like nothing matters

It was salvageable and lovely thanks! Brocolli with garlicky prawns on top 😍

NeedToKnow101 · 27/03/2021 20:05

❤️💞🌺💐 Shiny, Honey, Midge and all with elderly parents and dementia and covid and moving, and clutter and just everything really at the mo.

I think I'd better post a flurry.

NeedToKnow101 · 27/03/2021 20:16

And to Carnage 🌺❤️

Btw does anyone get a weird glitch on the app, where it slips back to posts from a few days before then back to today?

Fleamaker123 · 27/03/2021 20:39

Mine's been ok N2K... Although it sounds like me with my brain fog, not knowing where I'm up to 🤣

CoffeeBeansGalore · 27/03/2021 20:43

I was getting odd glitches the other day, font size changing & every post on a new page, then going back to normal. Rather odd. Ok now

A bit more from mine from a few days ago..

We gotta run for shelter
Gotta run for shade...

Flyin' high we never took the time
To stop and feel the need
Funny how those years go by
Changing you, changing me

80's
