Does the stretched generation exist? Are you part of it? We're running a survey to find out what pressures are facing women over 50 and what we'd most like to kick up a fuss about wink

Please help by taking 5 minutes to fill in some answers here https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/W225R5W
It would be useful to have as many contributors as possible, no matter what your views, and you could win a £50 Amazon voucher if your username is drawn out of a hat.

And so have I though don't really feel it applied to me, having no older relatives and live too far from the family to be of use to them.

jeni Wed 11-Jul-12 12:14:36

Ditto

Anagram Wed 11-Jul-12 12:16:53

Well, I suppose they want a balanced survey - some are more 'stretched' than others!
