I know times are hard for many of us but…
I’ve just had a grandmother and her 2 grandchildren in the shop playing a game “what would we buy if we could afford it”. Apparently they’re going into all their favourite shops playing this and the grandmother explained that both her son and daughter in law are out of work at the moment and it’s all they can do to keep the roof over their heads and food on the table.
Seeing the faces of the 2 little girls as they left, I had to wonder…was this game fun or cruel?
And no, before anyone asks, they didn’t steal anything.
or was it supposed to play on your emotions and you were supposed to say……” here, have this”…..?
actually, that was My First thoughs too ! We have all felt skint times ( surely) the times I made my own Christmas Decorations when My son was small. anything else was a bonus !
ruby i’ve been there too making paper chains and snowflakes for hours on end with my children………..you know what?…..those lean times i have fond memories of………and life was a lot simpler then
I remember it well tinks.. was a bad winter and this was in the days of the 50p meters. I boughts a disney book from bargain books and the joy we had glueing things. and the feeling of acviement having snow white with glitter on top of a plastic tree :) I had always worked, and was put on the “sick” while pregnant.My doctor almost invited me to say i was ok.. and my money was cut in half back then. I never realisd the difference. ! He never suffered and this was back in the day near 30 years ago when we never had central heating or double glazing. My life was keeping him cosy. and i did and can make a mean pot of soup ever since :) I still do it.. keep in pulses and beans ( just in case) ..I feel almost guilt at the heat to whit my daughter was brought up in :)
you are right.. taught me a form of humbleness that i needed x

Hello everyone.
Day in day out we read or here about the late Jimmy Savile. I did ask myself, What good will all this do bringing it up now, Jimmy Savile cannot be brought to justice, Do the victims have to chat to someone from the authorities about their horrid ordeal. ( i know it is something that people will not forget ).
I saw on the news this morning ( that someone had mentioned ) that these victims of the late Jimmy Savile maybe able to move on once they have come forward and able to discuss what happend to them but clearly will never forget.
If i had that experience, im not sure what i would do,,,i honestly dont,,,Would it help you move on??
In any event, im getting a bit fed up of hearing about it on a daily basis because it makes me think about what goes through someones mind to do that to children. teenagers etc.
ffs.. this is a wind up eh? surely ! echoes of a certain someone getting their post count up !
Certainly Momes.. I will let you know soon as I hear anything Official. And I doubt they would have played it as you know Organisational skills would have probably put on the Alexander Brothers :) something Couthy .
See you in the Horseshoe bar and Mines is a whisky n diet coke..x

I should point out, kids, that the cigarette reference was just for comic effect. As a ex-smoker, I don’t condone the use of cigarettes unless you are an adult and you know what you are doing.
TWICE !!! will have a ciggy break after the first load of stairs.
