Thanks for the kind offers everyone, it really is more than I expected. If the trial run is successful in a couple of weeks, I'll take some of these kind offers up ( then you'll be sorry )
Couldn’t we have a whip round and get the good lady Table somewhere really flash for a couple of nights?
What do you think Tony?
It's a fantastically generous idea Gary but unfortunately the problem stems from us not being able to find anywhere "bling" enough for the Good Lady. There's a myriad of reasons, she needs a Nursing home not a Care home, they have increasing numbers of dementia residents ( and as I find to my cost, she still has all her faculties ). It has become more difficult to find a suitable Home to take her just for a week. Added to that, the last time she went was to a sparkly newish one, which was such a disaster I had to bring her home after 2 nights, in floods of tears (and she was pretty upset as well) : )
We're now trialling, her staying at home where everything is set out to meet her every whim and fancy with someone coming in to "skivvy" for her : ) Whilst I go and live La Vida Loca, Poundland style. : )
Once again, thanks for all the interest shown and offers made on this thread. It genuinely has warmed the "cockles" of a couple of Cherries fans. Great fans, great club. : )
Ps, Hillview's right, no kissing not even hand holding, until we've been formally introduced to each others parents : )
