Sorry the page has stopped working! It was discussing a piece of research showing that grandparents who looked after grandchildren just 1 day a week were less likely to develop Alzheimer's Disease. i will search for a different link.

In term time I have GS2 five days a week and GS1 after school on two or three days. I haven't got time for Alzheimers, I barely have time for a cup of tea!

Not very impressed with that research model or the results.

But I like the notion that you haven't 'got time' for Alzheimer's Deedaa

As my DD commeted "looking after Stan may stave of Alzheimers but he will drive you crazy in other ways!"

anya I see it says they are going to extend the research. Maybe it will be more robust.
