I heard every ailment she and her husband have had. She didn't ask me if I'd been well. Which I have but that's not the point 
I'm very grateful for my little rented cottage and my little Toyota Aygo Ice that's six years old and my wardrobe from charity shops and Primani. I think the main difference between us is that I count my blessings and she seems to count her curses!

She sounds just like my aunt!
My mum's half sister married a very rich man twice her age, he died years ago and she sold a factory for £600,000 and a property in florida and one in north carolina for god knows how much and now rings my mum up every saturday for hours to complain her hundreds of thousands of pounds of savings are getting low interest
my mum and i spent the meagre savings we had on getting a top surgeon to save my life after the first one nearly killed me.
she got a chest infection on her £5000 cruise 18 months ago and is still complaining to my mum about how ill she was (with a cough!!!)
some people are weird aren't they? never happy
