I've succombed to reading glasses, comfy shoes and 'proper' trousers. But, I will not give up a really good and deeply sensual perfume. It has surprised several folks over the years. They get a nosefull and end up blurting out...'gosh I like your perfume'. Of late its been Michael Korrs or Elie Saab!

Avoid Elderflower cordial, go for the wine smile

Does decking my mobility scooter with red and green fairy lights on the appropriate port and starboard sides for the Christmas dinner on board the Queen Elizabeth count?

We've been enjoying Virginia's latest novel (No! I Don't Need Reading Glasses!) - a book (and we quote) "which shows that getting on a bit does not mean giving up or even growing up".

Virginia has also taken to the stage recently with her one-woman show Growing Old Disgracefully...so we thought we'd nick borrow that idea for a thread and see what tips gransnetters have. As her publishers have kindly offered 5 copies of the book to give away (RRP £14.99) we've asked Virginia to pick her favourites and we will send one to each winner. You can (obviously) contribute to this thread any time but the competition element will close at midday on Tues 5 Feb.
