A dutiful daughter you are. If you've got the same genes as me you'll be suffering acute bouts of rosacea just now, at least that's what happened to me when I persisted in smiling through the pain and anger. *mixed-emoticon* Sorry it's so stressful for you, Merry. Try to take care of you. I do like your idea for the soundproof room, though.

Thanks Tom - I will look into Premier Inn and Travelodge etc.

Janet - "dutiful" yes, but "resentful" too which makes me "guilty" also lol

Took the kids to see her in the rest home this afternoon. She seemed more settled than previously, which was good. They were having a mini fry-up for their evening meal - the smell of fried bread was delicious!!!

Resentful's ok Merry, as long as you let your mum go on thinking everything is perfect between you. Sorry you are having to carry this burden.
