Xmas meal No.1 passed off as planned but only I opted for Turkey. The others wanted to save themselves for tomorrow and the next day. Total cost came out at £47 including drinks for five people, less than a meal for one at last years Xmas Day prices at The Talardy just down the road.
Mother got a bit teary, going on about 'being a burden' etc, when I had to wheel her through to the disabled toilets for another gymnastic session. I made light of the situation commenting that old age was simply a fact of life, before wheeling her back for Xmas Pudding.
The savings made at the Tweedmill Xmas Eve economy dinner have to be offset against the almost inevitable purchase by Isabelle of a coat here at the trade outlet. We must also include in the calculation, the £89 worth of M&S Christmas food we have to consume tomorrow whilst Mother has her own dinner along with the other Care Home inmates.
