Dentures and new clients!

My nana has early onset dementia, which means she looses things quite alot - this week she lost her false teeth.  It's amazing how different your face looks when you have no teeth there to fill your mouth out. Instead the skin just hangs, making the person look about 20 years older!!! I hunted high and low and eventually found her upper false teeth underneath her closet! Yay!!!!! Instant youthful appearance restored.  Couldn't find the lower dentures anywhere and mum said they'd been missing for months already.
WHERE can they be!!!? It's bugging the hell out of me!

I have 2 new dogs to walk next week.  They're my old boss'  dogs, Lucy and McVitie.  The owner said, "it's amazing that they're both still here actually!" and I was like, "how do you mean?" and he said, "Well, they both nearly died in the last 2 months...."  (this doesn't instill alot of confidence in me) ...        " Lucy had a great big cancer but we got it cut out and she's doing great, and McVitie cut himself and didn't stop bleeding, and we found out he's -------"
"A HEMOPHILIAC!!!?"............what are the odds? This is ridiculous!!!!!

Apparently rat poison might be to blame.  I shall investigate this.

Am I a nana?



Am I a nana when:

1 I feel a draught coming from a crack in the window and wish I had one of those handy door snakes ( you know those long snake-like things your grandparents put along the bottom of the door to stop draughts).

2 I feel like shouting at the boyfriend to turn down his heavy metal and maybe put on something different altogether....maybe silence would be nice.

3 I get an urge to knit.

4 I don't want to drink beers with boyfriend and his mates, and instead sit inside and watch "all about steve" and drink tea.

5 That urge to knit - it's just so durn tempting right now....that and sewing.....sewing to make curtains to cover my draughty windows.....and to make a DOOR SNAKE!!! Yippeee!

6 I limit the amount of soda the kids drink befor bed because I fear they'll end up wetting the bed.

7 I whinge about everything. The lightbulb in my room blew lastnight, and I forgot to replace it today, but now, rather than hunt for a spare and repair it I'm just going to whinge about the fact I am sitting in a pitch black room listening to .....electronica now....the boyfriend likes a variety of music......(and though he would never admit it, he knows all the words to that whitney song from the bodygaurd, "I will always love you".....he was singing it today...i [heart] him immensely for that.)

8 I like talcum powder.

9 I prefer comfy flats to high heels - actually, this means nothing, I have an 89 year old grandmother who only wears heels when going out anywhere. She wouldn't be caught dead in jandals, and I can't for the life of me walk in a heel without looking like I'm being blown backwards by some imaginary cyclone.

10 I like to discuss my bowel movements.
