I'm watching ;thumb: ÂĢ100k...wow, some of them are abit tight aren't they...
HI DiD - yes, some of them have seemed a bit stingy in this series. I'm just a bit suspicious of anyone making money out of care homes... hope they're not granny farms.

I know what you mean Care Homes shouldn't be profit making organisations should they, care should come first....anyways, let's see if he's a nice fella or not...
I shouldn't judge - it's just that my Mum was in a private home before she died and whilst it was ace - it took some finding. It's been taken over since by a new company and they're completely ripping the residents off and it's miserable. I'm only relieved they didn't take it over when Mum was alive.
My Uncle was until he passed away in December last year, he had Parkinsons Disease. They were brilliant with him, and, at his funeral an old friend of mine from many years ago was there, turns out she had been looking after him (I don't know how we kept missing each other), but he always talked about his 'little Burmese Star' and it was her....
...I just wish he'd known that we were friends before he died, though at least i know he had the best care possible

i'd be terrified living in that crappy area.
but yeah when they said he made his money from care homes i was a bit cynical.. so many rip people off for their own greed

I was born in Toxteth Liverpool. We lived there till I was about 8 yrs old. I went back to find our old house a couple of years ago, the street name was still there but a council estate now lined the streets, with boarded up houses with grills on the windows.
However........it still felt like 'home'.

It was great, we lived in a tree lined avenue, we played outside all day, went to Sunday school. Shop keepers gave free sweeties to us children. Everyone cared for each other....................until.................. one day someone knocked on our front door and offered Dad X amount of money for our house, my Dad told him to sling his hook. The man said "I will come back next week and I will offer you half of that amount.....but I am telling you now we WILL be buying this house"They did.........we moved from Liverpool
I'm close to tears now...
Dave's going to make me cry - he's a star.

The old Lady looked chuffed to be sat in her garden, simple pleasures maybe we should take a leaf out of her book....that was lovely...What an inspiration to those kids Dave is....makes you feel kind of ashamed doesn't it, for moaning over the little things....

He was one of an up and coming ethnic minority determined to be the ethnic majority. If I remember correctly (God damn this false memory syndrome) Mum and Dad did sell at a loss because of fear.That sounds very gangster-y? Who was he..... and did your Dad end up selling for less? Blimey!

It does - I've had a day of that sort of feeling today. I was moaning about a friend who I've put off getting in touch with for a while because her last few long phone calls have 'poor me' ones bemoaning the state of her lovelife and this afternoon a work colleague was telling me her friend has just been diagnosed with an inoperable brain tumour. That sort of thing puts everything in perspective, doesn't it? Needless to say I've texted my mate and made arrangement for a long catch up phonecall later in the week.Reference:

It does put everything into perspective kaffy We should treasure what we have and who we are and those around us, instead of thinking of what we want that we don't already have..
