Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

Not been a great day today. Tired and frustrated, my wife is doing ok but it gets to you. All I can do is try to crack a joke and absorb the laughing of those around me to keep going. I was reading an article about millennials moaning about not getting their ‘due’ inheritance because they were having to sell their parents house/flat to pay for care homes. As someone who had a house specifically built to look after my mother as well as my family, I couldn’t get my head around why they wouldn’t sell their parents homes and build a purpose built annex on their own home and look after them. Different times I suppose……

Bit harsh that gents. I’m sure in many cases the children are not equipped professionally to care for their parents and nor are they secure enough financially to leave their employment to do so.

Fair comment…it had been a tough day and then to read someone moaning about ‘their’ inheritance being spent on care sort of threw me…..

I see it from the viewpoint of the person needing care home facilities. It isn’t fair that the house they worked for just goes to the state despite all they contributed during their working lives. To be disenfranchised of leaving a legacy to your kids just because you fall ill is cruel.

No apologies pete, as AT says, respectful in here.

Morning guys, not much happening, rain is out again.

I just had a nice compliment, one of the dog walkers I regular speak too, said, every time she see's me, I'm wearing new clothes and I always look smart lol

Clothes are my treat as I don't smoke or drink and It is also part of my morning routine to help me feel normal. I always get dressed in a morning as I don't want to just doss all day, that's for Sunday's lol

I don't buy clothes that often like but I have just treat myself to some new jeans and trainers as I desperately needed jeans, losing so much weight means a lot of stuff in my wardrobe is too big. I'm a weird size, small is too small and clingy, medium is slightly baggy. I'm sticking with medium, small is too tight for me.

Have a good day guys.

Chatting up female dog walkers should brighten your day, especially when it starts with a compliment ……..
