I think my Mum would be furious at being called elderly as well πŸ˜œπŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ She's pretty spritely for 74.

Sounds like your Mum is as particular as mine. As Mum says it's not that hard!

Do they still collect your mother in laws rubbish even if it's just a garbage bag? I couldn't believe the rubbish only gets collected once a month in my mother in laws village in Somerset. But I guess that encourages people to use less waste.

Something sounds wrong there! In all other communities/cities that I know, they collect regular garbage and recycling weekly, and I think they might collect shrubs and green waste every 2 weeks.

Haha! I get that, my mum is 77 and she's a spring chicken who refuses to be called a senior citizen πŸ˜†... so my apology for 'insulting' your mum πŸ™

Hahah no worries, lmao. I am sure we'll be annoyed when the time comes. My Dad was furious that the doctors were outside the ward talking about him. 'That's what happens with the elderly' they said. He was furious!

Yes, we will be.
In the Philippines, a young freelance Diving Instructor referred to me and another instructor as 'the older ladies' in their 40s. We took it lightly but threatened not to give him any more jobs πŸ˜‘πŸ˜†
