Mum with moderate AD attends a senior citizens club with a neighbour who takes her in her car and drops her off home, once a week.
The ladies that run the club all know about Mum and watch out for her. Shes been going for 5 yrs and before her AD. The main lady that runs it knows my husband well and reports any issues if need be.
At this club, they have raffles, and second hand clothing and books to raise money.
Yesterday Mum went to her club. She told me that she bought a jacket for GBP1, but she didnt really like the colour as it was green, and a lady gave it to her saying that it would fit and that will be a pound thanks. Mum said she didn't know what to say, so handed over the money and took it.
Mum showed it to me and it was hideous. Also it didn't fit round her tummy. Hard to get the zip up. I just said to Mum, oh well keep it in your closet, you neve know if you might wear it.
So I went away thinking, I wonder if the ladies there are taking advantage of Mum?
Today my husband saw the lady that runs the club and asked her what the story about the green jacket was.
Long story short Mum picked it up from the second hand table, said how lovely it was, and it was just her size and colour and gave them the money.
Yes it was her size from over a year ago.
