Harry, I didn't realise you were an OAP. Thought you were younger than me. Jenny x

Jenny, Which leaves me with a problem. I am old enough to know that it is not the done thing to ask a lady her age, but yes most of me is past my sell by date - repeat MOST. happy days

Harry. Turned 50 on Christmas Eve. Nothing has gone right since really. Had to see my GP last week and made a list of the things that were ailing me. Off for blood tests tomorrow. Jenny.x

Jenny, Age is relative. To me, you are a slip of a girl. Blood tests - done that and got a wardrobe full of tee-shirts. Best of luck with them. happy days.

WAS HOPING SOMEONE WOULD COME ON AND SAY I WAS A DAY EARLY AND THEN I COULD HAVE BROUGHT THE HOUSE DOWN BY SAYING NONE OF US OAPs KNOW WHAT DAY IT IS. FOILED AGAIN. (yes I know I live in a very small world) happy days
