Fed up with pills, scans and chats about my age. Now determined to enjoy life. Interests are scrabble, animals, gardening, reading etc. Looking forward to getting my health sorted out. I had a pacemaker last year which is not permitting me to go on the marathons I was promised. Joining Gransnet is a new venture.

Dignity? Why bother??

I keep telling my children I intend to age disgracefully with pink streaks in my hair if I fancy it! (I did go that a few tests ago. They were appalled grin

DO that a few YEARS ago. Must proof read…

Welcome Violetbynight. All sorts of 'chat' goes on here. You will find some to suit you flowers

Whitewavemark2 I've never been dignified so I'm not starting now!

My aim would be at all costs to avoid dementia*, so I won’t need ‘toileting’ as they like to call it, or to have my nappies changed.

*there’s no sure way, I know, but it’s in the news lately from some American study, that people who eat eggs regularly are less likely to develop it - because of some substance in eggs.

So no prizes for guessing what I had for breakfast, or rather brunch, just now…

Thanks for the tip Witzend.

I did the pink streaks a couple of years ago. Most people seemed to like it.
I'm not sure that I'm very dignified really. But I'm trying to not become a 'little old lady' just yet.
Welcome, Violet. GN is marvellous. I hope you enjoy it.
