Giving CardsI don't do Christmas cards now. I make a donation to charity. I'd rather the money was better spent. Everyone knows not to expect a card from me as I broadcast it on Facebook! Not for everyone but it suits me these days.ViewDate:

Women's state pension ageI will get superannuation when I'm 60, but it would not be enough to live on. What I've wondered is that if I did decided to leave work after 60, but before I'm 66, then would I have to go to the Job Centre and sign on until I'm 66? I've never claimed an allowance in my life. It seems ludicrous if this is the case. Does anyone know if this would be the case? I've tried to Google it to no avail.ViewDate:

Women's state pension ageI'm 58 and will have to work until I am 66 and it really annoys me. You don't really think about these things until you are older. No one knows what kind of health problems you will have by that time and you just hope that you will be fit and able to enjoy your retirement. I have signed an online petition to reduce the age back to 60, but doubt if it will make any difference. I've never been out of work in 40 odd years and it just seems as though retirement will never come. It's so unfair. I am on my own and therefore I can't afford to retire any earlier.ViewDate:

How do you cope with your aches and pains?I have had a painful base of thumb for a while and it's getting worse. I believe it's wear and tear as a result of my job. I'm sure it'll be arthritis, which tends to run in my family. I'm taking painkillers at the moment but they are not helping much. I can see me going to my gp soon.ViewDate:

Items to put a smile on your face ? :O)A man went into the butcher's and the butcher said to him "if you can reach anything on the top shelf then you can have it for free". The man looked up and said "I won't bother as the stakes are too high".ViewDate:

Caring for a parent or loved one with DementiaThank you LittleMinx. My mum refuses help for now. She's determined to care for my dad on her own. I'm always there for them but it's just a case of taking one day at a time for now.ViewDate:

Caring for a parent or loved one with DementiaDementia is such a cruel disease. My 85 year old father has it and is gradually becoming a shadow of himself. My mother is his carer and does exceptionally well, even although she has her own health problems and now has a pacemaker. My father suffers from "sundowning syndrome" and my mother no longer is able to take interest in tv in the evenings as my father goes on and on about having to go home and that his wife will be wondering where he is. I just wish to god that he won't get to the stage where he has to go into a care home, but worry about my mum, also ...................:-(ViewDate:

Do you mind the gap?I find it easier to just snap a piece off the bar.ViewDate:

TAKING CHILDREN ON HOLIDAY IN TERM TIMEI would definitely have to be honest and tell the school that we were going on holiday. I think too much is being made of this. Children can fall sick for a week or two and mostly always catch up at school. Parents are being made to feel bad just for the sake of it.ViewDate:

Do you use online banking?I think online banking is great! Means I very rarely need to go anywhere near my bank in person.ViewDate:

Do you trust eating advice shared via the media?They chop and change it so many times that I'm fed up it to be honest. One minute something is of benefit to you, the next they come up with some negative research. I think a little of what you fancy does you good.ViewDate:

Would you consider cashing in your pension for a lump sum?Yes, definitely. I could do with some of the money now.ViewDate:

Would you consider having a GP consultation via webcam?Yes, I would be more than happy. Anything other than sitting in a waiting room, which is also quicker. I think it's a sign of the times and a great idea. Not for everyone obviously, but for some.ViewDate:

Is it important to know how to use grammar correctly?I hate to admit it, but my grammar has gone downhill since the age of texting. However, I do pride myself in having good grammar most of the time.ViewDate:

Will you go and see Fifty Shades of Grey?I didn't have any interest in reading the books, so I won't go to see the film. However, someone at work went to see it with friends and is going back again next week. She loved it!
