Viktoria, I think you'll find that charity shops won't take undies unless they're new, unused with tags still attached. When I say new I don't mean recently bought, just unused.

Maybe M&S will take them

We have a box in our M&S foodhall near the click and collect log in.  It does mention QR codes but I have not done that but left them just the same

The good thing is that these aids are readily available for you.  Some time ago I bought my mother a clock similar to the one you now have, it lives in my hall now
though I did suggest to OH the other day that it should be in the living room as I had not a clue what day of the week it was.  I also have inherited her walker with a seat though I am not sure how safe I would be with that now that I live in hilly Somerset.    ;D

Strange you mention clocks, I started to look at one this week, a very good idea, must admit since Christmas I list track of the days but am back on track now but I think those particular clocks are very useful.
Viktoria  you must accept any help they offer you to make your life easier, will you need an L  plate on your scooter? !!

Well for years I rode  a Mobylette scooter,as Ihave related but I had all my marbles then ( well that is a matter of opinion —-) not so “ with it “ now-
Traffic is also much much worse.
I have not been to Rammy on my own since my latest escapade,so no idea what I can manage .
I am worried I do more than I can do .Ineed to start back before I have gone too far if that makes sense . ::)
Oh it will all work out somehow.

Well grand daughter and fiancée ( New baby’s parents) are getting married in the Summer. I am so glad as being a bit”old fashioned “ I think babies’ security and a proper family are so important .
I don’t know how to,post direct photographs from my iPad, when I have sent any they are copied to my iPad and forwarded  as emails .
There are hundreds of baby Lily ,I have asked permission to send some to R.C. but as yet no reply to that but more lovely photos.
Mummy is working ( for her Mum ,my daughter ) some hours a week as a very busy time - baby  has a team of salesmen and mechanics all willing to nurse her whilst Mum is doing the accounts !
They have broken away from the original parent company so very busy re establishing themselves, it seems to be going well.

Well my last cuppa and bed and Cranford.
Goodnight all ,look after yourselves .
Viktoria.
