Mum was 80 on 13 Dec - you'll never guess what I bought her!

[Joolstide]

Lavender water?
Doileys?
Wincyette(?) nightgown
shawl
rocking chair - close!

no, no, no, no!

an office chair so she's comfy when she's surfing the net!!!

Hope I'm like that at 80 (I intend to be alive )

she's into soul music too!

what a cool mum - is she going to join us too

Happy Birthday Mrs Jools Senior xx

I opened this up expecting it to be that blasted bat again

Do you know, I thought it was going to be the bat again too.
Pleased for your mum tho', wish mine was that able. at 74 my mum is slipping rapidly into old-age, and is disinclined to do anything to stop it.

me too phew!!!

You're mum would get on well with mine, she's 74 going on 18.

Haven't got her onto the net yet though.

yep twice a year they go to the sun for 4 weeks at a time - and they still play golf! dad is 83!

they're both cool!

and NO she won't be joining us here! its bad enough ME being here (old git! )

anyone?

My dad was 84 this year .. I got him a computer game

Hang on a sec Jools .. your mum is younger than my dad .. and I'm a few years older than your DD .. methinks people in my family take a while to understand the word commitment LOL

I am refusing to open that link Jools as by simply holding one's curser over the link one can see exactly where it is from

LOL jampot!

Twigs you dad is older than my dad

we start young in our house

my mum asked me to get her some of that smelly tobacco the people next door sometimes have coz it really cheers her up when she smells itand shes 83 i did tell her what it was and she said "so,dont knock it till you tried it" and the answer is no im not going next door and ask if mum can join them for a "smoke"

The bat I could manage, I was worried it would be The Rabbit

My gran got remarried at the age of 80 to a toy boy of 70!

I thought it was going to be a Rabbit too!
