    Ida Mayhew of Parsons Court, Frinton-on-Sea, claims her last Murray Mint was stolen between 5pm and 5.15pm on Sunday. Mrs Mayhew believes the sweet was taken from her room while she spoke to a resident in the dayroom.

    Charles 'Chic' Derry of the Mulberries, Ilkeston, has received a formal warning for throwing his suet pudding at a man he believed to be Prince Edward. The recipient of the pudding, who is yet to be named, was not seriously injured and is thought to be a member of the Care Quality Commission.

    Cherry Oaks Home, Littlehampton, will no longer allow dogs to be brought into the home. This follows an incident whereby a Jack Russell defecated on Mrs Woodpole's most recent copy of the People's Friend.

    William Windass of Grovelands Manor, Sidcup, has decided against taking part in this weekend's annual fancy dress ball. Mr Windass, who won last year's event dressed as Rasputin, believes his winning run will come to an end if he goes ahead with his plan to dress up as Ted Bovis from Hi-di-Hi.

    This Thursday, Rene Muir of Thorpe Bay Care Home, Shoeburyness, celebrates her 107th birthday. As well as a trip to the seafront and a dinner with friends and family, Ms Muir will be attending a Wishbone Ash concert at the Cambridge Corn Exchange.

    Residents of Oak tree court are celebrating after Mavis Brocklesby won £ 3,261.87p on a 10p lucky 15 at Southwell. Mrs Brocklesby intends to buy a new hat from the milliners in Rickmansworth High Street.

    The managers of Golden sands retirement home in Eastbourne have cancelled the weekly book club until further notice. This decision was taken after 3 residents suffered respiratory problems when reading page 36 of 50 Shades of Grey.

    Peter Allington of the Fairleigh View retirement home is appealing a decision by the managers to ban his son Nigel from visiting. Mrs Maureen Baker said "we will not accept anybody telling our female residents that they have a look of Myra Hindley about them".

    Roland Braithwaite of The Broads Home, Bungay, has bought two new argyle sweaters: one is a green-based merino and cashmere; the other is a predominately red lambs-wool.

    Ruth Phipps has stepped down as secretary of Aston Vale's (Chippenham) Yahtzee club. After seventeen years at the helm, Mrs Phipps believes the baton should be handed over to someone younger, and Stanley Harrow, 96, appears to be the favourite to take over the position.

    Eileen Draper of Middle Moss Court, Diss, is willing to forgive the person who drew a smiley face on page 45 of her Daphne du Maurier classic 'Rebecca'.

    Brothers Michael and Malcolm Frost will go head-to-head in this Saturday's stick-whittling tournament at Shepherds Rise Home, Cooden Beach. Michael, 83, and Malcolm, 81, have never competed against one another previously, yet this weekend will hopefully put to bed the arguments over which sibling is the most talented whittler.

    Gladys Wisby of the Robin's Nest, Mistley, is continuing to seek respite from her chronic flatulence. Ms Wisby hopes others will look beyond the constant miasma that surrounds her and thus continue to offer friendship and solidarity during this difficult time.

    Maurice Chancel of the Flora Mews Home, Wilmington, has decided to remove the walnut sideboard from his room. Mr Chancel plans to use the additional space for the installation of a small chair.

    It is believed the squirrel seen in the dayroom at Clove House, Framlingham, came from the nearby park and possibly gained entry via the kitchen door, which was left open to allow a bee to escape.

    Rose Derbyshire of the Stamford Retreat, Oundle, believes her cake-making days may be over. Mrs Derbyshire, 91, recently sprained her wrist while out walking in the garden and, as a result, is now struggling to carry out small tasks.

    Rex Richardson, who recently moved into Hobbs Cross Court, Winchelsea, believes the home may be haunted by the spirit of a former resident. Mr Richardson claims to have seen an apparition standing by the lounge window on two occasions and has even reported thefts taking place, including those of a small porcelain deer, a tin of jellied fruits and a Sussex County Cricket Club tie.

    Ina Horn of Chaseside Lodge, Horam, is well on her way to recovery following an operation to remove a lesion from her gall bladder. Mrs Horn, who plans to visit relatives once she leaves hospital, said, 'I plan to visit relatives once I leave hospital.'

    Wesley Bunn of Elderflower Court, Lyme Regis, has added two new badges to his walking stick: Bovingdon Tank Museum and West Dorset Light Railway. The new additions take Mr Bunn's badge count up to seven.

    The Riverdale Home, St Leonard's, has purchased a new lamp for the dayroom. The previous lamp, which had stood in situ for fourteen years, is to placed in the south lobby. The new lamp has a mauve shade and ties in well with the current colour scheme.

    Margot Stirling, currently residing at Dovecote House, Saffron Walden, is looking find a new owner for her parakeet, Erwin. The level of overheads, such as millet and cuttlefish, is taking its toll on Mrs Stirling's finances. 'I'll miss Erwin, but money woes are keeping me up at night,' she said.

    Ralph Latham of The Folly, Hailsham, has decided to book a place on the upcoming trip to Cuckmere Nature Reserve. Mr Latham, 88, had initially displayed reticence to the idea, yet recent reports suggest he changed his mind when he learned that lunch was included in the price of the trip.

    The latest copy of Home Matters is now available from the reception area of Hope Marsh Lodge, Beccles. This month's features include an interview with Gladstone Small and a bird-themed word-search.
