[Michael:] Well it's
[Paul:] no swearing house.
[Michael:] With me Nana it's like... I think, I don't think it'd live without her.
[Sheila:] No, cos they fret like
[Michael:] I think it'd, it'd fret but it wouldn't have hurt one of them to take it on. Like me Uncle Mick's not got a dog, me Nana's not got a dog, me Auntie Frances not got a dog. We've got one any way so we couldn't have it, but they're, they're gonna have it put down....
[Sheila:] Jack Russell...
[Michael:] It's only when it bites Sam's feet, [LAUGHTER] innit? []
[speaker009:] Yeah it always goes for me, don't it? Without fail I walk in the house and it goes for me ankles. And you're sat there and you're like kicking it away and it goes worse. And she'll say, won't she, don't don't kick me dog, even if it's going for your ankles!
[Paul:] down the road?
[Michael:] Yeah.
[Paul:] Mm....
[speaker009:] I dread it when she walks in house cos I always think she's gonna start having a go at me, but she's never said owt to me yet, has she? She just lo she always looks at me and laughs.
[Michael:] you see.
[Sheila:] How old is she?
[Michael:] Erm, she'll about seventy-six, seventy-seven.
[Paul:] What's that? Eighty-one, eighty two?
[Sheila:] Get you.... Aye, it's dreadful.
[Michael:] Eventually she'll forget how to feed herself, how to go toilet bedridden.
[Sheila:] she won't be herself.
[Michael:] Mm. She said to, yeah, she said like round house.
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] But they don't know whether it's her or kids cos like me Uncle Mick's kids, they're dirty scruffs.
[Sheila:] Mm.
[Michael:] Mm. You never know what they'll be doing.
[Sheila:] Well, asked them to do it, you know,
[Michael:] Mm.
[Sheila:] even when Sandra was doing it she'd still
[Michael:] Yeah. Well me Auntie Jean and me Mum got passed once, like they'd been going down and scrubbing it from side at bath and everything.
[Sheila:] Yeah.... That's what was happening to
[Michael:] Upstairs in pillow cases as well.
[Sheila:] Mm.
[Michael:] And I, I think that will be kids, that.... She said when you, you remember your Jean down, int she, and she says to your mum, do you have sugar? And your mum says yeah, two. She fetched the drinks and there were two tea bags in there, weren't there, instead of sugar....
[Sheila:] Aye, she would get meals-on-wheels for her dinner and then one of the lasses would leave her summat for tea, sandwich
[Michael:] Mm.
[Sheila:] or summat, you know. Put it in the fridge and it was still there the next day, you know,
[Michael:] Yeah.
[Sheila:] she'd forgotten it.
[Michael:] She, she would, meals-on-wheels didn't sh, weren't she but we stopped them cos she were
[speaker009:] She were giving it to dog!
[Michael:] And she weren't paying either, was she?
[speaker009:] Well, no, they were, me Mum an that paid any way.
[Michael:] No, I thought she were giving them a pound and then taking change off them, she were getting change off them or summat weren't she.
[speaker009:] Oh, I
[Michael:] I remember your Jean saying.
[Sheila:] And she was ordering stuff for Nana, you know, fruits, sweets, crisps all sorts of things, upstairs and downstairs and chocolates in, you know, she'd just go up the shops and buy them.
[Michael:] Yeah.
[Sheila:] The bananas... I mean last, last year... er Michael come from and they were
[Michael:] Well, it's funny cos like, she'd, me Mum an that's been taking her shopping down and she's been buying it herself and like me Auntie Jean, she goes down three or four times a day sometimes and then she goes down again and it's all missing!
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] And they say that they think she's hiding it but there's no where to be hiding it. But like I said, I think kids an that are taking it so
[Sheila:] Yeah, it's a shame when they get like that though, then to be put in a home.
[Michael:] Well me Mum were really upset cos she said it's like losing her twice, cos I've lost her once not knowing any of us who we are,
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] and then when she goes.
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] I think me Auntie Jean's, she'll go off her rocker because she is... like I say, me Auntie Jean's only one that she ever remembers cos like me Auntie Jean takes the meal, like every meal down for her and
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] money for light and they've been having to keep her pension and like giving her so much at a time because it's been going missing with all the money! Yeah.
[Sheila:] Just left her so much?
[Michael:] Yeah.
[Sheila:] You know.... A shame that.
[Michael:] Mm.
[Sheila:] You know we went up new year, after new year to see her er, it were, a lovely, nice Christmas tree in the foyer. Oh it was lovely. Lovely bedrooms they were but she'd keep saying she wanted to go out like, you know....
[Michael:] But they've asked her, haven't they? They've said wouldn't you like to be somewhere where there's... people you can talk to an that and she said yeah, didn't she?
[speaker009:] Mm.
[Michael:] But it's
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] like, when she gets there she's gonna be panicking about one thing and another int she, I think. Well they sort of said that what, hopefully, she'll like be there for a couple of days and she'll never think she's been anywhere else, she'll think she's been there all the time. But I don't think she will. I'll tell you
[Sheila:] But they don't wanna tell her the truth
[Michael:] No, they're not.
[Paul:] Shall I put that on your bit of paper?
[Sheila:] ... Is it tape two then?... Not that one. Where you write on other side where your fingers are.
[Paul:] Tape two, side A. So I want that one, don't I?
[Sheila:] Aye, you'll want side A then, yeah.
[Michael:] That, they went to look at some in they went to look at some homes in Thorne, didn't they? And one of them they says, well when we get new arrivals in we sedate them!
[speaker009:] Mm.
[Michael:] For first week or so, didn't they? They'd been and looked at a few and there,
[speaker009:] They said they were disgusting, didn't they?
[Michael:] there, were one of them where they were walking round we with wet pants, you know,ol old people an that.
[Sheila:] Have they to pay for her?
[Michael:] Pardon?
[Sheila:] Have they to pay? Have they to pay for her to be there?
[Michael:] Erm, I don't think they have, have
[speaker009:] No.
[Michael:] I think it's er
[Sheila:] Dunno.
[Michael:] I think she's erm they like take so much out of her pension but she's not gonna need owt any way and then erm... I think government or whatever put rest.
[Sheila:] Yeah, they put so much
[Michael:] Yeah.
[Sheila:] Yeah.
[Michael:] No, I don't, I don't think none of the family's got to er pay up. Sh they're like all clubbing together and giving her some money to go in with cos she's got to have some money to go in with.
[Sheila:] Yeah. Aye, they get so much a week. Pocket money like.
[Michael:] Mm.
[Sheila:] Like there's nowt to buy really....
[Michael:] This one erm it's really good cos they've like, got nice little rooms and tellies in room and like, if like, they come and they're trying to like clean up, the cleaners' ll like, give them a cloth so they'll think they're helping an that. So it shouldn't be that bad.
