Altziemers, Hayley, it's the only possible explanation LOL. After all, did you even go to a disco or courting when you were younger? I know my brother never and he's just a year or so younger than you (28 ;-) LOL)

Ahh, so thats what a walk in bath is, now I understand, instead of a glass of wine you take the whole bottle, by the time you have drank it you dont know or care whether you had a bath or not lol

TW, it's actually a wet room. But mum was so flustered over the odd question that she never asked why she asked LOL.

You do TW, just think how boring and cold it is while you wait for it to fill up. And if anyone rings you there's no way you can just hop out to answer LOL.

Regarding remotes, my niece was here the other day and wanted to watch a DVD. Mum was pressing buttons on the remote and asking how you got the drawer to open for it. I, of course, walked over to it and turned it on, pressed the button to open the drawer and walked away smiling.

I might be ready for a bungalow but I'm not ready for a home yet LOL.

But isn't that dangerous, I mean do you get in a sit-in bath THEN put the water in?

It could scald you!

(ok I'm being picky now lol)

I'm more than ready for a bungalow LOL.

We were really amused when one of the people that works with mum offered to help start painting the upstairs of the new house while they were getting the kitchen fitted. She couldn't understand why everyone else was laughing so hard...on account of it being a bungalow.

Then the other day, my aunt randomly asked mum on the phone "Does it have a bathroom?" Of course, it's been driving my mum potty ever since, "what a silly question...why do you think she would ask that?"
