I`m not brilliant with texts and text speak.
I have an elderly relative in a care home who will be ninety next month and we have been discussing how to celebrate her birthday. Last night I received a text from her Grandson which read......Just to let you know we have all agreed to dnr for Granny.
I replied.......That`s lovely. She`ll enjoy that. Let me know where and when.
This morning I am informed that dnr does not mean dinner...it means...do not resuscitate. Oh bums!!!!!
No apologies needed. Although we all still keep in touch I was related through my first husband so they`ll just shake their heads and think what a blessing the divorce was. "Lucky escape there." I can hear them mutter.
Tilly. Stay away from texts! It`s safer.
