Well I’m 60 and still working when I’m allowed to back after lockdown and one of the dads I work with text me and asked if I needed anything actually I was pleased and touched by it didn’t take offence !

I’d be grateful that they are decent enough people to care about their neighbours.

SueDonim , good advice to choose not to worry - think all this lockdown is getting to me !

I do recall being a youthful 20 thinking how old a 32 year old colleague was and I wasn’t really looking forward to being so old ............

Don't knock it NanNanCake! I'm the other end of the scale.........because I don't advertise my underlying medical conditions everyone assumes I'm as fit as a butchers dog; even the very needy bloke next door who's actually younger than me, is very breathless and smokes like a bloody chimney! We now refer to him as Mr Woe ( woe is me )

We’re the oldest people in our street and no one has offered to do anything for us! I could be offended but I choose not to be. smile

It might be nothing to do with your age, how are they to know whether or not you are self isolating, in which case you cannot shop, walk the dog etc?

Ok I know my neighbour was being kind, ok I know when you’re in your 30s being in your (very early !!)50s is old - And I don’t want to be offended by them putting a note through my door that if I needed help walking my dog or with food shopping during the corona virus they were here and willing to help - but hey I am !
Am I officially old ?? Sorry I know I should be more generous just wasn’t ready to think of myself as needing that sort of help yet
