    :T:T:T well done you and that is so so sad:(

    It is sad but the reality is there are so many elderly people on their own ,they had 15 people referred up to them this week alone.
    I've wanted to do it for a while but emotionally I wasn't in the right place but now I feel ready ,I will start with the one and see how it goes but this time next year I am hoping to have a few extra seats filled at the Christmas table, the older generation gave so much for our lives they shouldn't be forgotten x
    One cannot change the past, but one can ruin the present by worrying over the future.
  • Borrowed...

    A husband had just finished reading a new book entitled, “You Can Be The Man Of Your House.”

    He stormed to his wife in the kitchen and announced, “From now on, you need to know that I am the man of this house and my word is law.

    You will prepare me a gourmet meal tonight, and when I’m finished eating my meal, you will serve me a sumptuous dessert. After dinner, you are going to go upstairs with me and we will have the kind of fun that I want.

    Afterwards, you are going to draw me a bath so I can relax. You will wash my back, towel me dry, and bring me my robe. Then, you will massage my feet and hands.

    Then tomorrow, guess who’s going to dress me and comb my hair?”

    The wife replied, “The funeral director would be my first guess.

    Haha, that's brilliant :rotfl:

    Today I signed up to be a befriender,whilst doing so I heard so many tales that broke my heart...a 90 year old lady on her own,no family and sits on the bench outside the doctors in the hope that someone will stop and speak to her :( can I suggest that if anyone has 1 hour to spare a week that they look in to their local befriending service because that one hour could really make a huge difference in someone else's life x

    I do this, only an hour a week is all it takes, it can be frustrating at times, but also very rewarding, it is much appreciated, especially in winter.
