There are still decisions to be made, like what would you like for breakfast, lunch, dinner. Then it's what to watch from your recorded program's as you settle for the night's viewing as apposed to what's on live and then to bed.

Now my mother who is 97 by the way is quite happy but I put that down to her not going out in normal times and she said to me that she has her tv, books and the newspaper and plenty of food although she is missing the horse racingStephen wrote: 03 May 2020, 11:48Your not alone Jan.Jan Rosser wrote: 03 May 2020, 11:36I’m just fed up - got lunch in the oven - veg all prepared - pudding done - now what!!!

Mum in-law was feeling sorry for herself yesterday, saying her get up and go has gone. Poor old girl, at 91 she's missing the family contact.

I must admit I like the occasional pud when on board. The ramekin hot puddings in the buffet are a job to resist sometimes, especially with lashings of custard.Ray B wrote: 03 May 2020, 11:46.Jan Rosser wrote: 03 May 2020, 11:36I’m just fed up - got lunch in the oven - veg all prepared - pudding done - now what!!!
