Today did not go according to plan - however - it turned out all right ?

Oh, I do hope so, jogginggirl! What a day you've had. As you say, all's well that ends well, and of course the main thing is that your mum's okay - it's a shame that you missed the show though!

Glad you mum is OK.

What can I say? Knowing you JG you'll just take the positives from today...mum is OK (for now) and GDs had their treat and dump the negatives in the bin.

Onwards and upwards (((hugs))))

Jogginggirl what a day, indeed. And how wonderfully positive your response. Hope life now regains some control. So glad your mum is recovering.

Glad your mum is okay and your family are having a happy time with you, jogginggirl. What a shame you had to miss the Strictly tour - DS and DiL went to see it in Leeds on Friday and they said it was wonderful. Bet the girls were over the moon!

Jogginggirl so glad your DM is ok.
What. A glass is half full girl you are.
I totally get 'Tonight I can sleep soundly In my bed - maybe'

Ana In future I'm going to try & dump the negatives in the bin!

Just back from seeing mum - she was in good spirits considering the drama of yesterday. Her mobility is certainly compromised at the moment but, I am hoping that once the pain is reduced, she will be more comfortable. In the meantime, I have ordered a lightweight wheelchair so that we can still get her out and about.

Thank you for lovely supportive comments ?

To be honest, the twists and turns my life has taken over recent years - glass half full is definitely my mantra ?

Here we are today enjoying a giggle....

All's well that ends well ( sounds like a good title for say, a play or a book)
Shame you missed the show, but at least the DGD's still saw it, and your Mother would be glad to have you with her all day. Sleep well!

Ah, lovely picture! Your mum is obviously another glass half full girl (though I think you, like me, might prefer yours full, jg ).

Sweet dreams!

I once had tickets to take my daughter to a children's show but something happened and I couldn't take her. I asked my mother if she would take her and she said no, she had my daughter doing her cleaning instead, she was under four years old at the time. I'd forgotten about that but just another day in the life of nana the selfish witch.

Another time she had three full boxes of cereal, my son asked for some and she said no, she liked to have some in in case she wanted some.

I wonder why I don't speak to the woman!

Lovely photo JG ?

What a day you've had, being able see the best of it and still smile is a gift indeed.

Glad your mum is in her own environment again, helps with the recovery I think, pity you missed the Dancing, another day.
