pauline Yes, Mum did get her message from the Queen - it comes as a birthday card these days. It had pride of place amongst the 120 odd cards she received! she is an amazing lady who still lives on her own with some help from carers. Di
Hi grannydi .. in case Pauline is not around tonight, I'll
e-mail her the link to your message. I'm guessing your mother is 100 years old ... congratulations to her!
My mother is just 93, and although she is still at home, unfortunately has to rely entirely (24/7) on assistance from myself and carers. (S)
Thanks sarumite - most kind of you
Yes, Mum had her 100th on the 7th. party for 12, then another for 96 on Saturday. All a lot of hard work but so worthwhile as she really had a good time and appreciates what we all did for her.

Reminds me i saw a story on the local news recently about a lady who was 105 years and she was most disgruntled that the past 4 birthday cards fron her majesty were are all the same. She wrote to the palace accordingly and either Wills or Harry called around with a different one and some flowers, I thought it was great.
Thanks so much for sending me a link to this post Sarumite...was out most of yesterday.
I'm so glad she got her card grannydi! She sounds a character your Mum....and what Birthday deserves more celebrating than 100th! Marvellous!
I'll bet you were really busy behind the scenes also!
Mamyalynnne...I remember hearing about that story..it was brilliant!
grannydi...I think, like you there is a great camaraderie on here....most of the time!!! I have met some great friends on here. It's great to hear everyone's news, and sort of put images to names!
