Already helping out two elderly neighbours. They have cars but the road we're on is lethal at the moment so I have been bringin them into town when I can & other neighbours are doing the same.

Mech1 · 21-12-2010 11:21pm

Thanks to all that have replied sofar, could you all possibly "bump" this thread in whatever other threads that you follow? The more people that we have reading this the more help we can give!!! It might be as easy as picking up milk and bread for someone 2 streets away. And you might make a new friend, or save a life.

Stheno · 21-12-2010 11:27pm

In Swords, Co. Dublin, available for driving and shopping etc.

Not great on digging/pushing due to a dodgy hip.

After months of incessant bad news, where we are constantly burned by tales of incessant, cruel greed and self interest...

a thread like this reads like a breath of fresh air.

Fair dues to all and may good karma go your way
