So mum seems to be settling into the new care home and appears to love one of the career, a woman called Tracy.

I'm going to see mum on Sunday and take her out for lunch, which should be great. My sister took my Neice to see her on Wednesday and said she was laughing and dancing with one of the men in the care home. :)

I've just had an argument with my brother.... both him and my sister are behaving appallingly. Both of them are circling like vultures over mums stuff saying that they want this and that out of the house - neither of them are prepared to pay for it, which they should do, even if it was a token amount. My brother especially is becoming terrible. It turns out he has 'offered' stuff to his friends!!! FFS, she's not dead!

All I have taken from mums house is the stuff I gave her, and ONE single photo of her parents.

We've now been told that as the house is a council house we have to remove everything by 11th August INCLUDING the carpets and curtains, FFS!!!

Anyway I have missed the SPN Bigbang - will have to try to catch up with it on AO3....

Life is just so bloody stressful right now, I think I am getting stress related Ezcema! Blimey

Anyway I am sorry this is a ranty, ranty post and not at all cheerful.... life really is shite at times

I seriously do not have any time to myself lately.
I work Mon- Fri 9am - 5pm and then spend about 5 hours at mums on Saturday (so today really) and then a further 3 hours there on Sunday.
I am so tired.... tired of looking after her, which is a really bad thing to admit, but watching your mother's slow gradual decline due to dementia is so bloody sad. Seriously, if I get a dementia diagnosis? I will make my plans and sort myself out before it gets too bad.
I do sometimes worry that it is hereditary... I've searched and found that the chances of me getting dementia are between 30-50% How crap is that!
Anyway - Monday is a bank holiday here in the UK and for the first time in probably over a year and a half, Rich and I are going out to Berkley Castle for a day, just the two of us. Now, we have obviously been on holiday to the USA last year, and Vienna at New Year - but those are holidays... I'm talking about literally taking a day for the two of us. We really need it.
I have attempted to embed the media, but I am not sure it is going to work - so here is the Url of the website for Berkely. http://www.berkeley-castle.com
We have been there before but about 15 years ago, so it will be nice to do something together

Hope you are all okay
Love

So since December 2015 I've been watching Emmerdale and especially the phenomenon which is Robron.

Essentially two male characters from the show have been through hell and back and have finally just got together....and then Emmerdale has decided to throw in a bit of cheating and a suspected baby with a fling...

Anyway I really like the show and have been an avid fan since 2015.

Anyone know any good Robron sites on Dreamwidth, I'd love to find them!

Now, in my opinion money isn't the route of all evil - it's religion. I live in the UK and two days ago two men chased and practically decapitated a man in Woolwich in London.
I was really shocked by this. The guy was a soldier and had been in Afghanistan but was back home. The guys who killed him were, allegedly, muslims who wanted to start a war in the UK...
Why can't people just let others believe what they want and just get on with their own lives?
I'm not particularly religious and maybe if I was I would have a better, more biased, opinion but who knows.
I feel sorry for the soldiers family, (A) because they know how horribly their loved one died, (B) because the soldier was back home, they felt he was safe.
I also feel sorry, to a certain degree, to people of the muslim faith (because that was what the guys who did it said they were!) because I fear the backlash that will happen to ordinary, peaceful muslims.
Part of me wishes we lived in a more insular society where people who believed one thing lived together and people who believed other things lived together and neither met at all.... if that makes sense.
Ultimately I don't see any benefit in religion if people truly believe it is right to hack someone to death, which let's be honest here is what they did, in the name of their god...
Sorry if people are upset by this post, but I just felt I had to put something down somewhere.

So I went to A10 and I really don't know why I keep giving Rogue Events my money because they literally couldn't give a F**k about us the customers.
I turned up at my time to register and as usual they were running late. Met my mate Angela and had a chat - went back to the registration room and joined an even bigger queue by this time..... Anyway to cut a long story short it took me almost 2 hours to check in and when I did they didn't have the reserved seating sorted out and also someone was saying that people on the registration desks had messed up and given out incorrect packs. This meant that people had photo ops vouchers that they shouldn't have had and others didn't have photo ops that they had paid for!!!!

Luckily all I paid for was reserved seats and was told that those were to sorted out in the morning!

So go back to the bar and have a few more cocktails and checked into the hotel. Went to the opening ceremony which was supposed to start at 7.15pm and it started about 7.50pm because, and I do actually quote here, "The artists are having something to eat!" My god! the convention had almost started and they weren't able to feed them before it did?!??!

Anyway watched the opening ceremony and shuffled off to the bar again and more booze.
Went to bed but all I could here was the thump thump thump of the disco downstairs and then I have noisy neighbours! Why do I put myself through this year on year??? LOL

Next day loads of panels - Misha, Mark Shepherd, Osric, Julian, Rob and Emily and then the highlight for me Ty Olssson and Rick Worthy!!! Man they were hilarious and at 11:15am they were drinking Rum and Coke's and Ty decided to ring Jensen on his mobile. Now bearing in mind it was probably something silly like 3:30 am where Jensen was, I wasn't holding out much hope that he was going to pick up... Anyway the phone rang and then the automated message started saying "The number you have rung is switched off, please leave a message for..." AND THEN IT STARTED TO READ OUT LOUD JENSEN'S MOBILE NUMBER! LOL
Luckily because we are not mad, insane fangirls - when everyone realised what was going to happen we all shouted "NO!!" and Ty quickly pulled the phone away from the speaker saying "I didn't think about that!!"
So Jensen's number is safe and secure... LOL

They then proceeded to walk around the hall talking to people. All in all they were my favourite panel for the whole weekend.

I actually left A10 early because I wanted to spend sometime with my partner but they have announced that they will be doing A12 again... Shall I go????? probably, should I go? probably not. LOL


Anyway here is my impulse buy a Ty photo op and yes he is squinting but doesn't do that in real life!

Thanks

I need someone to BETA with me a Supernatural Outsider POV fic which I have started but have stalled a bit. It's not a massive fic just a quickie.
I probably won't finish my first draft until later tomorrow so if someone is willing and can spare a few moments to give me a hand that would be lovely.
Oh I should say it is wincest.

I know very little about some of the people on my friends list. Some people I know relatively well. But here's a thought: why not take this opportunity to tell me a little something about yourself. Any old thing at all. Just so the next time I see your name I can say: "Ah, there's Parker ...she likes money and cereal." I'd love it if everyone who's friended me did this. (Yes, even you people who I know really well.) Then post this in your own journal [only if you feel inclined]. In return, ask me anything you'd like to know about me and I'll give you an answer*.

*Providing it's answerable/suitable for public posting.

So this is a view of of my back garden right now. What you can't see is the hanging basket of bird treats we have gone out and bought to feed the birds nor the can of dog food we put out for an injured fox we saw this morning... Now I have no idea what you are supposed to feed a fox but thought dog food was good enough! LOL
