Excellent. I have a couple of bottles of free trade kosher organic vegan low fat dairy free red wine hidden away.

I'm not so sure lots want to do it, not from my experiences anyway but kudos to you and your family penny, it is a great thing you are doing.

Aww, that's so sweet apologising, Penny. No need though, we all go through our grumpy stages.

You may have already, but make sure you contact CarersUK (although there are some really good regional ones as well). They give really great advice and support. I was a carer for a family member for years. Sometimes it's so confusing knowing what support you are entitled too or what practical things for the house are available or would be beneficial. Unfortunately carers are always so reluctant to ask for help (me included!), as they feel they are letting their family member down, which is so silly when you're doing so much already.

Oh yes, amazing how many live in those two houses isn't it! Goodness knows where Sarah and Bethany are s'pose to sleep!

So lovely that you are going to be looking after your mum, our mums are so precious to us, unfortunately mines not here anymore but cherish yours!

But thats mine and I'm not sharing !!!! ( even though I drink non free trade kosher organic vegan low fat dairy free red wine when it suits )

Aren't sarah lou and Bethany staying with Audrey ?

Dear Grumpy old Lady
You are allowed to be a bit grumpy now and again although I have say I have-not noticed it. Hope the builders finish soon
Yours - another grumpy old lady x

I don't think so. They spent the night there the other night as Calum is on the rampage again, so thought it safer they were out of the way.

In fact, last week Audrey topped and tailed with Gail at Gail's house. Which I think in fact, is now David's house. How he earns enough to pay a mortgage I'll never know LOL!

I totally agree with you.

this forum brings it most in people.. we get competitive and protective of our "favourite" and disgusted by our "least fave"

If I'm snappy with you , the post explains why.

What a delightfully funny thread.

I thought at first that 'having the builders in' was a euphemism for ..well you know... I thought why on eart6h is Penny apologising for that. Then as I read down it was like dropping into the soaps forum I don't watch soaps any more but am delighted to know those two up, two down terraces can still hold so many residents.

I haven't noticed anything snippy about you Penny. In fact dare I say I the forum generally has been really very pleasant through this series. Odd moments here and there but generally the standard of debate and courtesy has been better than usual I think. Today I posted on a thread where people were saying things like, Oh I am sorry I misinterpreted you or Its lovely to have another point of view (even though I disagree with it ) and lets agree to differ. It will shoot right down hill now I have said that.

Good luck with the building and your mum Penny. x

Not me, I don't have favourites.
What I see is people lying, exaggerating and being rude to defend their opinion based on some futile fandom or a forum allegiance.
People simply become too attached to either HMs or FMs.

'looks innocent' I have no idea what you mean Anth. Care to explain

Yes, the houses in Corrie are like a Tardis it would appear. Come one, come all, there seems to be ample room.

Just curious, and I'm honestly not trying to instigate anything, but has the idea that you might be wrong on certain things ever occurred to you?

alright, i was trying to be nice and say we all generally feel that way sometimes, but that's ok. i'll keep my mouth shut.

No need to apologise for anything Penny you are respected on these forums

No comment

The answer to the Syrian migrant problem perhaps. All those terraced streets in Manchester should be able to house thousands.

That's an enigmatic smile you have there Anth lol.

Well yes, there's an idea with merit re the BIB. I like that idea.

Same here.
love
luck
laughter to you Penny... and remember, may all your ups and downs be only under the duvet
