    Sorry to be a bit emotional but 3 years today we lost my nanna and I'd really like to get it out because mam is coping in a way which entails not talking about it :(

    My nanna was 73 and she had senile dementia and parkinsons and I miss her every day even though she lived in Ireland. Until she became really sick she visited us as often as she could and every Easter. We went over every Summer and as I got older, half terms if I wasn't working; I used to work in a school then a college until I became ill myself. She was lovely. She'd love this thread. She was the queen of moneysaving. The funny thing is, when I was young I hated being dragged around the charity shops and now I miss it so much. I've had a drink today for her; I don't really drink often, we can't afford it.

    Just had a drink to your Nan. She will be loving the comments that you've just made. I'm sure that she knows how much you enjoyed her company and loved her. :beer:

    Massive hugs to you hun.
    My Grans been gone about 15 years now and like you I hated being dragged out round the town in the school holidays only to be stopped for ages while she chatted to her friends (she was in her 80's when she passed away) and I still miss her as much as I did.
    She'd have loved this thread too, I remember her purse always had a load of coupons for the local S's and she loved whoopsies!
    They may be gone but they're never forgotten :)

    Such true words.

    Hurrah. It's stopped snowing and it seems like it is all melting bit by bit too. I hate snow!

    How is everyone? Good day? Anyone snowed in?

    Thanks for the results Evangeline, looks like I shall be giving the Garnier thing a go on Monday as I have 2 APG's to use up. Thanks for letting us all know.

    Have a smashing evening all.

    PS. Got a £5 Givauden capital bonds voucher through the post today for doing their surveys. Was well chuffed. Having said that, it did take a long time to accrue it as they don't send many surveys for men. Boohoo!

    Always remember the good times and how special she was to you. Bet she is enjoying how much you are part of this thread. :)
    Smile :) and hopefully the world will smile back
