please remember the elderly

[lotsafun]

Hi everyone i just want to ask people to remember the elderly in weathers such as were having at the moment, if your popping to the shops can you please check if your elderly neighbours need anything, or even just to check that there ok and warm enough especially if they dont have any family nearby. Thanks xxxx

[ChuckFickens]

And are you OK, Sara?

[lotsafun]

lol no i dont but theres a old woman living on her own in my street with no family and shes been stuck in the house since boxing day because of the snow. Just made me thnk if she didnt have me popping in and out to see if she was ok and had food in then she would be starving by now.

Chuck.. watch it mate!

I called my 74 year old neighbour to see if she needed anything. she asked for a stamp to post a card to Ireland, and some tomatoes to cook a nice meal for her boyfriend.

One can hardly forget the elderly.

The old woman next door woke me up at the crack of dawn as she skidded down the steps and into the door outside my flat.

And then all that noisy clattering as she tried to collect up all her possessions.

I mean ... let a girl get some sleep !!

If I lived near docspock I would make sure the old
codger was ok !!! I do look out for my elderly
neighbours , I did some shopping for one the
other day .

[LoftyLottie]

All my neighbours are elderly. Noone below 63!! And we all look out for each other (except for one). There are only four houses where I live!!

I do regularly ask my neighbours in their 80's if they need anything though.

[joggerjayne]

You should always be nice to the elderly.



They might decide to leave you something in their Will.







Okay, okay ... joking ... again !
