Dishwasher and a hoover...what about the days before such luxuries..the way the women go on you'd think they were bringing the clothes down to the river to wash them on the stones..I helped out with the nappy changes and formula feeding when I was a kid that's probably why I have none..have a dishwasher and a hoover though.

God be with the days when I used a srubbing board,and a mangle out the back in the tenemant house I grew up in .we had no indoor toilet,o water. We didnt even have elcetricty,and I am not joking.mountjoy square was the place,and in the morning some of us young lads would go down the glouaster diamond to get the turf for the auld ones every young fella had a pram,or some sort of a trolly to get it in.our reward was 3 old pence after we qued up for hours,and then carried it up the top of the tennements for them

FFS you dont know what poverty is .Me granny kept a pig in the back garden as a kid my job was to chase the pig around the garden for about an hour until it was sweatting then me granny would rub the sweat off the pig with stale bread and fry it on the pan .It was delicious if you ate it with your eyes closed it would taste like rashers .Use to have to go around the neighbors as well to collect the slops for the pig .Sometimes there would be bits of food in the slopbucket that you could eat .If the food was bad and you got the shits you wiped your arse with squares of newspaper ..Like you Dollymount I miss the good old days .

Yiz is all bringing me down memory lane and I remember our old house in Fleetwood road in Willesden
and it only had an outside toilet.
I was only young about 3 or 4 but I remember watching some older lads collecting fer Guy Fawkes night on November 5th in London.
Wow ! I thought "Money fer Jam" !
All ya had to do was make up a Dummy (Guy) from whatever and put some clothes, a mask and a hat on it, stick it in to a pram
and wheel it up to the street corner and shout "Penny fer the Guy" to everyone that passes and they give ya money.
The year after, I had me mothers old pram that me and my elder brother had been through and I had probably the best dummy 'Guy' in the whole of London, I had spent weeks making it and it was a Prize.
Myself and my brother brought the pram and 'Guy' to our street corner on 'Guy Fawkes' evening/night shouting "Penny fer the Guy", we Fookin cleaned up ! My First scam ever, aged 4 and I Loved it !
But I knew that the tradition was that the 'Guy' was to be burned on a bonfire that night, but no way was anyone burning my Prize 'Guy' and as soon as the first person who donated asked me where my 'Guy' was being burned, I legged it fer home with pockets full !
I got Three good 'Guy Fawkes' nights out of that dummy and one of the biggest disappointment's of my life was my Mother not allowing me to bring the dummy 'Guy' back home to Ireland with me in 1972.
In hindsight she was spot-on !

No bother doing anything physical for anyone as long as they are of pleasant disposition and compis mentis. Currently looking after my mother's 2nd husband who has vascular dementia aged 86, my mother died a year ago aged 92, and my father died in 1965 aged 48. The bulk of the work currently goes to my wife. The man has no short term memory. Physical/personal hygiene issues are not a problem as long as the brain is ok. However dealing with a man who refuses to shower, and whinges when you are shaving him is another whole can of wee wee. Wouldn't wish it on anyone.

There will be a place in Heaven fer you Harry !

we used to eat the slops fuck the pigs
The Purina from the dogs food was only awesome !
-
We were like the chineeeeeeese we used to eat dog.sweet and sour graygound,or jack russel and chips was me favourete
-
I never actually ate Dog, but I did quite often have a taste of the Greyhounds (which I trained) meals.
The Chicken and Beef was superb, but it came from animals that had died and not been slaugherted properly.
It tasted just fine to a 10 year old hungry child !
-
Also the Tripe that was boiled in a big pot, it smelt so gorgeous as I minced it hot and steaming in the mincer fer the dogs,
the smell was so gorgeous but there was no taste from it, as in no taste at all, candle wax had more taste than Tripe !

system is a little crazy. About a month after my mother died, my wife had to go back to her home country for a couple of months as her mother was in hospital, and my sister who was home from New Zealand for a little while believed that James was ready for a nursing home. He was Fair Deal approved, and the NH took €207pw of his pension, and the state paid the NH another €1100pw. We paid an additional €150pw for the "premium service". He was ok for a month, but after that statred "sundowning" and every evening he would want to get out, so the NH didn't want to keep him, and used the leverage of an additional "0ne on one " care from 18.00hrs to 23.00hrs at €20 per hour, i.e €100 per day. We mananged this for 50 days until my wife returned when we took him out. My wife then applied for the carer's allowance €200-€250 pw week last September. It is means tested, and was refused just a week ago. Yes they will pay €1100 pw for a NH, but will not pay €200pw for home care!! I have appealed it but I am sure that it is in vain.
