Well she won't thank you for white knighting her and opening up the discussion on her retirements, but lets educate you a little.....
Well your level of knowledge about her history is quite creepy, obsessive even.
When she left London and moved to the west country - and then worked in Bristol - how is that "retirement"
When she had an older "boyfriend" - she continued to work when she had a boyfriend. Not retirement.
When she was in in Hospital (at least 4 times) - being temporarily too sick to work is not retirement.
When she was quitting to open a cake shop - that was a long term plan for the future from what I heard, she didnt retire to do that.
So if the daffodil thing is correct, you need a calculator to count up to two

I don't see dubs apologising for calling him a troll ?
Why should I apologise. James999 is making up shit to denigrate another forum member. Will you be as supportive when he starts posting lies about you and bad mouthing you about it?
