If you go to Google Maps and type in 152 Blackhalve Lane, Wolverhampton .... our house was the one on the right in the picture ...... a large tree in the garden. It was a lovely house with an open fire and central heating ........ but we didn't have a fridge. My grandma bough...

When I first married I didn't have a fridge. The house had a walk-in pantry with a cold slab. Butter, cheese, milk, meat etc kept very well on the slab. Of course ....... that was well before the "eat by" markings. You used your common sense and sense of smell ...... and as ...

I'm glad she got those eggs ...... such a shame to waste them. BJ's place still has some waste but not a mountain of it. The town has a food base to distribute free food to people in need but they won't accept anything on it's last day of shelf life. I shouldn't say this becaus...

I appreciate it ....... and I take her bits and pieces that she can't buy locally. It's nice being known in the store as BJ's mom. BJ tells me at about midnight what's been vastly reduced and I can call the store in the morning and ask them to put things on one side for me to c...

I think it will be best for you to have guardianship. You have your own interests at heart ...... the hospital have theirs. Once it's all sorted I'm sure you'll feel better about it. It's just getting there!!!!
