Welcome to Over50sForum! The site for people over 50 to chat, make friends, discuss, share, and generally be part of something that's fun and friendly :)
I have had great support on this site, in recent times, if only you knew just how much it helps,me/ us deal with the situation, there are a lot of caring peeps in this world,I was gonna say praise... but thought best not!!....
Pauline, since this thread is aimed solely at me for all the support I've given you (let's face it, nobody else has bothered to help), a pm would have sufficed.
Don't be throwing a load of money buying things for the hangers on. Mind you, you could send them some stuff from that overflowing bin you've got...two birds with one stone
I am very glad members of OFF have helped you Pauline.
I don't see anywhere in your post that you intend to give presents though. Wishful thinking on the part of some members perhaps.
I think it's a shame we don't all live in the same street (Tier 1 area obviously) I reckon we would see a lot of practical help as well as the usual virtual help shown here.
