Knitted alias of bobble hats for aprem baby unit, dropped them off and shes convinced herself they have been pinched.
A year later shes stilton the Internet ordering crap,

They've built 20 more flats since last time you told that anecdote about 10 posts up Mum thinks her visitors will miss hers so she sent off for hi via orange tape to stick on it

its because theres such a lot that i cant keep track,
Her ornament collection seems to have extened into the communal areas, and theres some sort of Christmas wreath cold war going on, between her and the flat opposite, it looks like one of the ones you see by ponds for people drowning

My grandad was doing internet banking about 15 years ago when we were still on dial up, at over 90 years old. Also used to do his stocks and shares online too. Very impressive.
Mums a techno At 85 i check her emails and history to see what old s
t i will have to return the following weekWell not much to update as i havent been round with all this covid19 stuff going on
Although I did pop my head round the door
But not enough to notice anything shes done
She has bought a new dyson v12 to replace the dyson v8 she has,
I told her i was on 80% wages and our house is around 700 a month down
No concern at all and spends 450 quid on a dyson.
Which she wrote on the instructions what she didnt like about it and also did the same on the box and then told my sister to take it back to argos.

Well.
She is no more now.
Popped off a month ago.
Emptying the flat I still find traces off her.
I feel sorry for her. The last third of her life she made it very awkward for anyone to feel anything towards her.
It was her heart and copd that saw her off in the end.
That in itself was a complication of covid.
It was such a shame that her mindset limited her life for the last few years.

Thanks guys.
A release if I’m honest
While clearing the flat
We took some pictures down,
Despite her alleged near blindness. I could see on the wall for every picture hung on the wall there was three or four nail marks, literally a couple of MM apart.
Brand new never occupied flat and the walls are covered In holes where she’s decided despite being almost blind a picture was slightly too high.
It was like a swansong really.

If i recall correctly the hospital bed at home company went bump and it had to go back..
The new company, the beds were nowhere near as good apparently
If it wasnt the bed it was the air pump or the mattress wasnt right.
She called the compamy so much her phone was blacklisted, it could never get through
So she rang the installers mobile all times of the nighr and day
She solved it by buying a new mobile
I can laugh now but at the time it was driving me crazy
