My mum used to go every week as well.lol.

My friend and I were new as well....some of them have loads of tickets ,how they managed to check all those numbers he used to call out quickly, I will never know...they had probably been going for years,lol.

Another friend of mine, her mother won over £ 35,000 at bingo....all the bingo halls joined together, that’s why there was a big win....not sure how often they did that.

Yes, a time with mum.

Do they still do bingo?...I must look into that...I would go, even on my own....it was good fun, while it lasted.LOL.

We have a large bingo Hall in Brighton, pretty sure they are country wide xxx

I’m coming to live with @Rita ....LOL...I bet they have big wins there...where I went was just a small town, they held the bingo sessions in the cinema....it closed down years ago...

lol It is quite a big hall but I only ever went on a Saturday afternoon so it was never that busy. Think the evenings were better attended. We use to have two other bingo halls in the city , they have both closed. They Also use to have bingo on the pier, but I think those days have gone xx

I can relate to the feeling redundant and I am also feel a bit lost at the moment. I retired from working in a care home 16months ago and despite the fact I love the freedom I still have not quite adapted.
I was working during covid, on the one hand I was grateful to still have that routine but on the other hand I was trying to care for my elderly dad and keep him safe. It was horrible when we had outbreaks, worse when it hit the demencia floor ( we lost 12 residents in 14 days )
How did it go at your nursing home ?
Much love as you try and find a church , have you moved far away from where you use to live ?

We were very lucky and lost no one over covid. I have since left there now as It was in the sticks and I was too bored being stuck in the open country with no were to go. But it was a lovely home and the rsdidnets were well looked after.

Sorry to hear about those outbreaks and your dad. Yes, the dementia patients do seem to get it worse, and it's a horrible disease. My aunty had it and it was hard to see how she did not hardly recognise us anymore.

I hope they find a cure. I remember the movie "the notebook" and I was crying at the end. many times I have looked after couples who have been together forever and one always dies of a broken heart when the other dies

I moved to be nearer my job (I work front of house in a large RAF base feeding the troops lol, and its hard to get to when I cant drive so I catch the train. I'm going to go to the church near by and im nervous as its a protestant church and I am not used to them, I prefer baptist, but there are none
