.
The District Nurse suggested that I try some Nestle Build-up, at that time I had heard of them but that was as much as I knew.
The chemist stocked them in strawberry, vanilla, chocolate and banana flavour, I chose the strawberry flavour knowing that Mum enjoyed that fresh taste.
I fully understood that as much as Mum wanted to be able to enjoy some `real food` at that point in time she just wasn't able to cope with it.
Nestle Build-Up was a good way forward, at least the fruity milk shakes were easy to drink and simple to digest and they made me feel secure in the knowledge that I was at least trying to help the situation along.
There are four separate sachets of Nestle Build-Up in each box and I paid somewhere in the region of £2.50 for the box at our local pharmacy.

Advantages: Will keep you safe Disadvantages: none
an accident, the police will get the relevant services to you. If you want the police to call your mum to tell her you are going to be 3 hours late, they will do this or this is the perfect time to ring them on your own mobile.
6) Oh well I never thought my 60 year old car would breakdown, it has never done this before and I am not in an breakdown service, what do I do now. This causes immense problems and the police can either ring a relative who can come out to rescue you or if one of the breakdown services are not busy they will come out to you but you have to have a credit card as they ask you to join up straight away and it costs nearly £100.
