Bass Cadet Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I managed to gain myself a granny working. Her name is Sandra and she is soooo good to me. She looks after me better than any of my family has - she's great. I hope you find someone as nice as her Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PrincessHolly Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 I read an article about this lady and I think it's a really nice idea. Not all old people are crazy or mean and I think that society these days generally lacks respect for the elderly. 3 out of 4 of my grandparents live quite close by fortunately but I know that lots of people move away and old people get left with little company.Best of luck to you! I hope you find somebody really nice who appreciates your concern. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Preid Posted April 21, 2006 Report Share Posted April 21, 2006 Dont go looking for them, let them come to you. Its safer that way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HummerOfIntenseEvil Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 When I worked in Lawries in Queens Road there was one old lady in particular who I looked upon as a sort of adopted granny since my last remaining grandparent died not long before.Some old people are ace, it's a shame their good name is tarnished by the cunts who try to push in front of people cos they think they have special rights, as well as the old "youth today!" clan.Oooh, that'll be my mum in a few years...

Frosty Jack Posted April 22, 2006 Report Share Posted April 22, 2006 I'd suggest having a look at the Council website Community Contacts section -http://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/acc/YourCity/CommunityContacts/contact_ind1.aspAnd Voluntary Services Aberdeen are always looking for volunteers to help out with a variety of projects -http://www.vsa.org.uk/Volunteer/index.asp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
