Oh Crem :( Hope your MiL has thought it all through properly. And very much hope that the looking after FiL will only be on a short-term basis until he has regained some kind of equilibrium.
BTM, so glad you had a splendid w/e. Re: Get out of my life - I am finding the "how to deal with it" section to be a pile of bollocks. I very much appreciated the first half of the book, which claims to explain why modern teens (well, some of them) can be so immensely disagreeable at home, and most, if not all, of the authors' hypothesis rings bells here. But the "how to deal with it" bit is useless in my particular case, so I'm not as impressed as I was. Still, it was worth a read and made me feel better about a lot of things. Am now moving on to another book about "the teenage brain"...
Can't actually read "fried eggs and cottage cheese" without feeling rather ill. Can't eat either of those things separately, never mind together. Bleargh. I'd rather go hungry.
Power to all of you who can keep up with a toy boy. I'll stick with oldster dh, who is so short-sighted he still thinks I am foxy at fifty. 
Mind you, he was a toy boy in his first marriage and counsels against it. He found it really hard when his first wife got mistaken for his mum. No one has - as yet - asked me if he's my dad, but that's probably because I am greying and crepey and we have matching neck wattles
I am also, sadly, in the sceptics camp as regards Jezza, but at least the news from the HoC will be more interesting for a while. I do wish Billy Bragg would shut up, though. He cannot sing for toffee and I suspect him of being a big fat hypocrite.
I am - usually - doing actual cooking today. I have a chicken and potatoes roasting with rosemary and garlic in the oven and have just made a rather epic Dorset apple cake, if I do say so myself.
Have to work this evening. Boo.
