Hello Unknown Visitor, I think the vertical hold is slipping.
To be honest the last month has been bloody awful!
We have coped with the anger of Comet's aggressive sales technique in persuading dad to purchase Norton 360, when in reality he didn't need it at all. Then they wouldn't accept it back because (according to them) there was water/condensation between the security wrapper and it couldn't possibly be 'their fault'!
The assistant/supervisor removed the security wrapper without asking, although she lied to her manager saying that she'd asked permission... She was aggressive in her body language with me and even raised her voice at me! But, the manager says, *independent witnesses* said this didn't happen.. Hah! Independent??? They are other staff members - including the assistant who sold the disc to dad.... 
Okay.. I had intended to take this matter higher, then dad had a fall and ended up in hospital for a week. That brought us all back to reality, so sod Comet, they just won't get our custom any further.
Luckily dad's problem is not his heart, but something to do with his inner ear and will be treated via outpatients over the next few months.
Hubby's dad has been deteriorating over recent weeks. He's not eating properly and probably only drinks when someone visits him (on a daily basis). He says he cannot taste anything and his bowels haven't been right for months. He's been given all sorts of tests and the recent MRI Scan had to be abandoned because he felt he was going to fall off the table - that scan will be repeated with him under sedation. The family have been informed doctors are looking for cancer, this isn't entirely unexpected but does make it difficult to know how best to deal with him. He doesn't like strangers around at the best of times.
Why the tears??
We have just been informed our loopy ol' cat Tammy has got advanced kidney failure.... at the moment she still has a good quality of life and isn't in any pain, but it doesn't stop the tears flowing...
Sorry to dump all this on my friends 
lil xx
Sorry to read about your Dad and his fall, as for Comet, I made the mistake of buying my lat-top from them?
Then, two weeks after I bought it, it broke down, and they would not even listen to me, when I took it back to the shop!
The "sales assistant" (as they call themselves) just kept repeating the words, she had learned from a card they give their staff, that all have to learn.
The manager was exactly the same, but with even more attitude
In the end, (after 3 weeks) it took a letter from the Trading Standards folk, before I got my replacement lap-top. I will never ever buy from that store again
 Smudger.
 Its what friends are for. 
dear lil, anytime you need a shoulder
 and  and another for good measure.
As has been said..this is what friends are for,luv...
You know where we're all at!!!!

Aw, lil. 
Oh, Lil, I am so sorry. Everything has come at once, as it so often does, hasn't it? I suspect the poorly is just about the last straw.
As previously said that's what friends are for, and people outside the family circle are sometimes easier to talk to than those so emotionally involved.
I hope your Dad gets good treatment and is out and about soon. As for hubby's Dad my heart goes out to you both as I have been there and it is not a nice place to be. I hope they make him comfortable and keep him pain free.
It is strange how we can be raging about some injustice then things happen to put them in perspective and we realise what really matters.
Lil, you know where I am if you need to let off steam away fro here.
BIG to you all,
Websailor 
Be brave, sweet Lil,
    and this box full of es and . Help yourself as necessary.
ah, and this  to have a refreshing walk
 forgot the box! 
love>
Always here
Oh lil, you have good friends here, and you have provided so much help and support to many, many folk over the years. I am sorry to hear so much has landed on your plate all at once.
I really hope something good turns up for you soon, but in the meantime you are such a valued member here you will know in how much esteem you are held.
lots of love
Lanzababy

Thank you all
Father in law is having another emergency CT Scan on Tuesday afternoon, Hubby will be taking him.
The stoopid cat is currently bouncing all over the place - Lord knows what the vet has given her! 
She has lost more than a third of her body weight and was only 3.5 kilos at her heaviest
Well, whatever time we all have left together, we shall make the most of it....
.... Please remind me of that when I next complain about dad and his council tax 
lil xx

I will be thinking of your dad, father-in-law, and Tammy, and sending them all my well wishes. And to you, too, of course.
You know, friend here are bloody marvelous!
Thank you all for caring
