    She insists she's not old and is absolutely fine, and moans about living in the sheltered housing because its full of mad old people! :o
    My Grandma never socialised with the other people in sheltered housing because they were "old". When she had Alzheimers she was adamant she wouldn't go into a home. She only went after she broke her hip and my Grandad (then aged 84) couldn't look after her anymore. I think they told her she was staying in a hotel and she was happy but by then she was pretty bad so it was easy to get her to believe it.

    What's the buggy Sami?

    An oyster local to hubby's work finishes in 10mins... I can bid, but he said if goes too high he'll just buy me a new one when he gets paid... This 1 is black and pink which is fine, but if I got a new one I'd have it in pearl so it's a bit more unisex... I can't decide whether I want to win this one cheaply or spend a packet on a new one lol...

    I'd bid and if outbid assume that fate wanted me to have a new one.

    They sound very similar. She doesn't socialise with anyone, or join in in the lounge area downstairs because they're all old!

    My Nan (87 years young) moved to retirement flats about 20 years ago after my G'dad died. She used to be very sociable but, as time has gone on, she's found it rather depressing that everybody she becomes friendly with and socialises with, eventually dies - and she's still going strong!

    Krystal It must be fate that you need a new pearl unisex one for your next child, a son. :p
