"Hi darling, I've made you a lamb and spinach curry for when you next come. Btw when's my wedding anniversary? X"

Lmao ... What's she like?!

I'm actually wiping tears from my eyes here, Mrs O.

I remember taking my gran to bingo and three of us won an uneven amount. I said we should split the difference. My gran cackled and loudly announced "My difference is well and truly split after having kids."

I bloody hope not, DT ...

NoM she was lovely but drank like a fish, swore like a trooper and was the most embarrassing person I have known.
I fully intend to be just like her when I am old

The last memory I have of my gran was when she was semi-compos mentis, dementia setting in and, like a lot of old folk, a healthy fixation on sex......at my wedding she came across at the end, just before she left, and said to us, "I hope that you two have had a good day and that you have a better night."

When I say I want to be like my gran when I get old, I am naturally excluding her propensity for wearing beige and her urinary incontinence. (She once got caught short and had a wee in her handbag)
