[QUOTE="Marguerite, post: 183472, member: 1991"] G'day, folks. Sharon/LDM, the tour of the university department sounds like a great idea. It's a good way to introduce yourself to the most useful people in the faculty as well as get a feel for the scope of the department. Getting organised for your mother's visit and the beach should be good therapy. Linda, those recipes sound good. It's a useful activity for kt, too. I took easy child 2/difficult child 2 to the pediatrician today to get her medications organised. It does feel odd to still be seeing a pediatrician for this, but it is how it's done here. It's going to feel even more odd for difficult child 1's next appointment - I told him he should arrange to bring - HIS WIFE to his pediatrician appointment. Now THAT sounds bizarre! Mind you, from here he has to see a psychiatrist for his medications because he will be 25 at his next birthday. easy child 2/difficult child 2 & BF2 are struggling financially. Getting by, but finding it tougher than they'd expected. She was with me as I did a bit of grocery shopping and asked me to send her some recipes so they can cook something different (and I think of all those years when I tried to involve her in cooking, so she could learn independence). So I told her to make some pumpkin soup. "I'll need to buy some stock, though," she said. "MAKE IT!" I told her, and almost walked her through how to make chicken stock. I showed her where to buy some very meaty chicken bones and pointed out that for $1 she could get several litres of stock, instead of $5 for 500 ml. I dropped her back at her flat with barely enough time to throw things together and head for her evening college class. Later, I got a series of phone calls from BF2, asking me the next step in making chicken stock! So,cost of ingredients - $1. Cost of phone calls to mobile phone (because he keeps forgetting to use the land line) - $2. But ah, the experience - priceless. Marg [/QUOTE]
