11 The fat lady hasn't sung yet

Mum brought up the subject herself that we would be going away soon yesterday."Six weeks" I said gleefully. "Well I am sure Robyn and Don will help me out" she said " Well Berrington will be very nice " I said.

Today she must have mentioned it to Robyn, the lady who helps her in the shower so when we go out to the doctors appointment she had been asking for, she starts saying that she is not going anywhere. "But its very nice" I say."Too expensive" she says,in fact much cheaper than home instead. "There'll be no money left for David " she says" I am not having you organise my life for me. I am going to do what I want" "I have been looking after you for two years and have had three weeks off in that time" " You've had plenty of holidays " she retorts.

Then before tea she wants to give me her ring. I don't want her ring I just want her to be reasonable and go for respite for four weeks without all these unpleasant arguements
